perspective on
recent corporate
bond financing
One of the most important financial developments of 1966 and 1967 has been the enormous demands made upon the capital market
by corporations. These demands were a contributing factor in the surge of interest rates
to record levels in 1966 and were a key reason
for the sharp upturn in capital market rates
in the spring of 1967, despite a relatively easy
monetary policy.
Net new funds raised by U.S. corporations
through bond offerings expanded from an annual average of $4.3 billion in the 1960-65
period to $10.2 billion in 1966 and to an estill1ated seasonally adjusted annual rate of $13.4
billion in the first half of 1967. 1 In addition,
throughout 1966 (but particularly in late 1966)
and in early 1967, corporations relied more
heaVily on public offerings of new securities
than on private placements. As a result of this
shift, new public offerings of corporate bonds
reached extraorclinarily high levels in 1966
and early 1967. In order to understand the
reasons for this large increase in the volume
of Corporate bond financing and the shift to
public offerings, it is necessary to place these
developments in their proper historical perspective.
From 1960 through 1966, capital expenditUres of nonfinancial corporations more than
dOubled. During the same 7-year period, gross

savings 2 of such firms expanded considerably,
spurred by rapid increases in net profits and in
depreciation allowances, but these cash :fl0ws
rose at a less rapid rate than capital expenditures. During the early part of the period, from
1960 to 1964, the firms were able to cover
the shortfall of internally generated funds by
drawing down their liquidity. However, by
1966, corporate liquidity had been depleted significantly, and the particularly heavy capital
expenditures in that year necessitated the use
of external funds, especially bond financing.
Moreover, since 1966 was a year of credit
squeeze and of depressed stock market levels,
an added burden was placed upon the capital
market by the diversion of demand from commercial bank term loans and the equity market
to the bond market.
Capital expenditures H of nonfinancial corporations more than doubled during 1960-66,
expanding from $36.7 billion to $75 .5 billion.
In contrast to this performance, in the prior
7 years (1953-59), capital expenditures of
these firms rose only $11.0 billion, or 46 percent. Most of the 1960-66 expansion in capital
expenditures - namely, $27.9 billion, or about
three-fourths of the total- occurred in plant
and equipment spending. This large increase
2 Gross savings cash flows - may be thought of
as the internal funds available to these corporations.
The amount is obtained by adding net profits after
taxes and depreciation (capital consumption allowances) and subtracting dividends.
8 As measured in the flow of funds accounts, capital expenditures include both fixed investment and
the net change in inventory levels.

causes of and one of the results of the rising
rate of growth in the Nation's economy during
the first 6 years of the 1960's. By increasing
the economy's rate of growth, the expansion
in investment, of course, raised the required
level of corporate working capital.
While internally generated funds, or corporate gross savings, rose quite rapidly, the
rate of increase was less than that for capital
expenditures. Gross savings of corporate nonfinancial business, moving from $34.4 billion
in 1960 to $60.3 billion in 1966, increased
$25.9 billion, or 75 percent. The rapid growth
in internally generated funds was fueled by the
expansion in corporate net savings (profits
after taxes minus dividends) and in depreciation allowances. Responding to widening profit
margins throughout most of the period, corporate net savings rose from $10.2 billion
in 1960 to $22.6 billion in 1966, showing a
gain of $12.4 billion, or 122 percent; similarlY,
depreciation allowances, reflecting the large
amount of investment and the rapid rate of
amortization, increased from $24.2 billion in
1960 to $37.7 billion in 1966, growing $13.5
billion, or 56 percent.
With both capital expenditures and internally generated funds expanding rapidly but
with capital expenditures rising more rapidlY
than internally generated funds, the shortfall
in gross savings became progressively greater,
and funds from outside sources were needed
to continue the ambitious expansion prograIll S
of the nonfinancial corporations. In the period
from 1960 through 1964, capital expenditures
of these businesses exceeded internally generated funds (gross savings) by an average of
$2.5 billion per year. The deficiency rose to
$7.9 billion in 1965 and to $15.2 billion ill
1966; it is estimated that, in the first half of
1967, the deficiency was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $12.8 billion.

1966
Through 1965, corporations were able to
meet most of their financing needs above grOSS
savings by drawing down their liquidity. While
the reduction in liquidity was only slight when
measured by the "current ratio" (the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities), the decline
in liquidity was substantial on the basis of the
more discerning measures.
For example, the ratio of current assets to
CUrrent liabilities declined from 1.85 in 1960
to 1.80 in 1966 and to 1.79 in early 1967.
Bowever, the ratio of cash and U.S. Governll1ent securities to total current liabilities fell
from .36 in 1960 to .27 in 1966 and to .25
in March 1967. This decline was particularly
evident in the case of holdings of u .S. GovernInent securities, which were 13.4 percent of
cUrrent liabilities in 1960, 6.6 percent in 1966,
and 5.8 percent in early 1967. In contrast, the
ratio of notes and accounts receivable to total
current liabilities rose slightly from 1960
through early 1967. In other words, while the
current ratio of nonfinancial corporations delined only slightly, there was a significant shift
C
toward less liquid items in the composition of
current assets.

was almost double the amount of private offerings in the first quarter of 1967. Among the
most important reasons for this shift were the
decline in liquidity at some of the institutions
which traditionally purchase corporate bonds
through private negotiation and, also, the attractive rates on publicly offered securities.
While much of the heavy corporate bond
financing in 1966 undoubtedly reflected the
inadequacy of corporate internal funds, two
new causal elements appeared in the early part
of 1967 - the desire of corporations to rebuild
liquidity (partially, at least, by repaying shortterm bank loans) and the fear of another credit
squeeze, similar to that experienced in 1966.
Thus, although the gap between capital expenditures and internally generated funds fell from
$15.2 billion in 1966 to $12.8 billion in the
first half of 1967, bond financing rose froIll
$10.2 billion to an annual rate of $13.4 billion.
In view of the continued high level of capital expenditures, the relative stability of internally generated funds, the desire to rebuild
corporate liquidity, and the fear of more costly
money in the second half of 1967, it is not
surprising that the large volume of corporate
offerings of bond issues has continued through
the late summer. In fact, the heavy volume of
new offerings, coupled with the increased eIllphasis on public placements, resulted in a volume of publicly offered corporate bonds in the
first half of 1967 almost as large as that for all
of 1966.

cattle feeding
in texas
Texas has long been a leading producer of
beef cattle but is a relative newcomer to the
fed cattle industry. Despite the bountiful supply
of feeder cattle coming from its ranges and
pastures, which comprise about 75 percent of
all land in farms and ranches in Texas, only a
small percentage was fed commercially within
the State until about 1960. Since a substantial
part of the cattle produced have been sold to
operators of feedlots in other states to be fattened for slaughter markets, Texas has been
largely dependent upon out-of-State sources for
a supply of fed carcass beef. In fact, Texas
leads the Nation in the total number of cattle
produced, accounting for about 10 percent,
but ranks fourth in the number of cattle com-
6
mercially slaughtered. The tremendous growth
in feedlot operations since 1960 has helped
to reduce the deficit between consumption and
production of fed beef. Cattle feeding in Texas
has advanced faster than in other areas of the
country during the past 7 years.
Prior to the development of the cattle feeding industry in Texas to the point reached in
recent years, animals slaughtered in the State
consisted largely of grass-fat steers, veal calves,
and cows culled from dairy and beef breeding
herds. In recent years, a different type of beef
has been demanded by Texas consumers, as
well as consumers throughout the Nation. A
preference for cuts of beef from heavier car-

casses, grading high Good to Choice, has been
indicated by both consumers and retailers.
lIigher personal incomes, changing taste patterns, and dietary habits have all contributed
to a greater demand for beef.
Although a sizable volume of carcass beef
Continues to be derived from calves and grassfat cattle, the percentage of total marketings
originating from feedlots is increasing rapidly.
Marketings from feedlots rose from about 11
percent of the State's total in 1960 to almost
25 percent in 1966. There was a 165-percent
gain in the number of cattle fed during this
period. The number of cattle and calves on
feed in Texas increased from less than 1 million
head in 1960 to over 2 million head in 1966.
Growth was continuous for each of the interVening years, and the trend apparently has
COntinued since the number of cattle on feed
during the first 6 months of 1967 was about
20 percent larger than in the same period a
Year ago.
the first and fourth quarters of the year usually
account for a larger percentage of the total
number on feed than do the second and third
quarters. Part of the intrayear variation may be
explained by seasonal differences in the availability of feeder cattle.
The production of feeder cattle and calves
is not a continuous process. A large part of
the calf crop is born in the spring of each year
and is not the right size or age to be placed
in feedlots before the following fall or winter
months. The sale of calves for feeding in the
fall and winter months coincides with grain
harvest, and the animals are usually lower in
price because of the increased supply. A large
number of calves are kept on farms and ranches
following fall weaning, placed on small grains
in the winter, pastured on ranges in the spring
and summer, and sold as yearling feeders in
the fall months. Thus, feed supplies, the timing
of other farm activities, and the availability of
hay and grazing help to determine when feeders
are demanded and sold. Whether the feedlot
operator desires weaning calves or yearling
feeders, the supply availability is likely to be

larger in the fourth and first quarters of the
year.
Information on the types of cattle fed in the
State is available for three broad categories:
steers and steer calves; heifers and heifer calves;
and cows and others. The composition of the
number of cattle being fed has undergone a
considerable change. There has been a decided
shift in favor of the number of heifers, rather
than steers. In 1960 the proportion of steers
and heifers was 59 percent and 40 percent,
respectively. A gradual change in the numbers
of steers and heifers on feed in the period between 1960 and 1966 has placed heifers ahead
of steers, with heifers accounting for over 50
percent of the total number of cattle on feed
since 1963. During the past few years, the rate
of cattle herd expansion has slowed, and more
heifers have become available.
Although it is not likely that the number of
heifers will remain relatively larger than the
number of steers on feed , heifers may continue
to constitute more nearly half of all cattle on
feed. Dairy cattle numbers are declining; and,
as a result, there will be fewer veal calves, as
well as culled cows. Beef cattle numbers are
increasing and are large enough, under normal
conditions, to support herd replacements and
provide a larger number of heifers for feedlots.
During the past 7 years, data on cows fed were
often not reported because of the small numbers; but when such information was available,
at no time did the figure reach 2 percent of the
total.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports
quarterly, in units of 1,000 head, on the number of cattle on feed. The reports give data
by crop reporting district or by combinations
of two or more districts. Such geographic reporting permits discernible comparisons among
the various areas in Texas and provides some
perspective on the growing importance of the
cattle feeding industry within the State. With
the exception of Crop Reporting District 6 -
8
the Trans-Pecos area - all districts showed
growth in the number of cattle fed during
the past 7 years. While the numbers in other
districts were increasing, the number in District 6 was declining and, in 1966, represented slightly less than 3 percent of the State
total, in contrast to 13 percent in 1960. The
greatest year-to-year fluctuations in absolute
numbers have been accounted for in District 6,
with the number fed varying from a high of
110,000 head in 1963 to a low of 28,000 head
in 1965.
The greatest growth in actual numbers has
occurred in District 1-N, or the Panhandle (in
northwest Texas). Cattle numbers fed in the
Panhandle have increased each year since 1960.
The district ranked second in the number of
cattle on feed in 1960, gained first place in
1963, and still retained this position in 1966.
The area has increased its share of the State's
total from almost 19 percent to more than 40
percent. The Panhandle region has many favorable attributes that contribute to the growth
of cattle feeding. Climatic factors, such as temperature and the distribution of rainfall during the year, provide better than average conditions for animals on feed. The soil is of a
type which permits good drainage and requires
a minimum amount of animal energy for maneuvering when wet. Sorghum grain is produced in abundance, and cottonseed meal, used
as a protein supplement, is readily
from nearby processing facilities. Its geographical location places the area in a good position
relative to east-west and north-south transportation.
The Gulf Coast region, comprised of DiStricts 8 and 9, had the second largest nurober
of cattle on feed last year. Although
high in cattle numbers fed, the Gulf Coast dlStricts have shown a rate of increase equal
only about half that of the Panhandle area an,
accounted for around 18 percent of the State s
total in 1966.

The largest percentage gain in numbers has
occurred in Districts 2, 3, and 7 -located in
the Northern Low Plains, Cross Timbers, and
Edwards Plateau areas of the State. As a result of the combined growth in these districts,
their share of the number of cattle fed in Texas
between 1960 and 1966 almost doubled. Cattle
feeding in the Blacklands and east Texas has
grown over 200 percent, and Districts 4 and 5
accounted for 12 percent of the State's total
in 1966. Cattle feeding in the southern area
of the State has increased at a more moderate
rate. Although the number of cattle fed has
risen in the southern part of Texas, the region'S
proportion of the State's total declined from
about 13 percent in 1960 to under 8 percent
in 1966.
The growing importance of cattle feeding
in the State is closely associated with the expansion in the number of large commercial feedlots, which usually operate on a year-round
10
-
basis. Feedlots with a capacity of 1,000 or
more head of cattle increased from 102 as of
January 1, 1960, to 278 as of January 1, 1967.
There have been gains in the number of feeding
facilities throughout Texas, but the number of
lots has risen considerably faster in some areas
than in others. In 1960 the Panhandle, TransPecos, and east Texas areas accounted for almost 60 percent of the large feedlots in the
State. During the past 7 years, the Panhandle
and east Texas areas added 36 and 2,3 of these
large-capacity lots, respectively. Although the
number of lots in operation in the Trans-Pecos
area was on an uptrend until 1963, the region
operated the same number in 1967 as in 1960.
The greatest percentage gain in the number
of feedlots has occurred in Districts 2, 3, and
7, where the absolute number of lots with a
capacity of 1,000 or more head increased from
6 to 34. Districts 8 and 9 (the Gulf Coast
region) ranked second to District 1-N (the
Panhandle) in the number of large lots and,
with 29 additions, had almost tripled the
number 7 years earlier. Although District 10,
in the southern part of the State, has more than
doubled its large feedlots, growth has been
slower than in most other areas - a development which parallels the moderate expansion
in the number of cattle fed.
The Texas cattle industry in general, and
cattle feeding in particular, is undergoing considerable change. Shifts in production areas
and the expansion and development of feeding
and slaughtering facilities are part of the response of the beef industry to the growing
market for fed beef. The affluent consumer
demands quality in the beef purchased for
at home, as well as that eaten
In other locations. To satisfy the requirements
of the consumer market, cattle are fed to produce cuts of meat that have eye appeal and
SUffiCient fat to be juicy and tender when prePared. The consumer demands meat cuts that
are mature but are not excessively large or
fat. The cattle feeder meets these standards
by feeding cattle to weights of 900 to 1,000
pounds in order to obtain Choice or Good
grade carcasses.
The housewife has given direction to production through the selections made at the
retail counter. Communication between consumer and cattle feeder is not direct but is
passed through the market channels. The information relayed through the various levels
of the market structure enables the meat industry to cooperate in supplying the quantity
and quality of beef demanded by the consumer.
Feedlot capacities have grown rapidly during the past 7 years. Large commercial lots
supply over 90 percent of the fed beef produced in the State. Further expansion in large
facilities likely will occur because of the economies, technical knowledge, and substantial
capital outlays required by modern feeding
operations.

allowable has been revised upward appreciably.
Daily average production of crude oil in the
District rose 8.0 percent during July and was
10.5 percent higher than in the same month
last year. East Texas, with a monthly increase
of almost 20 percent and a year-to-year advance of 27 percent, showed the largest percentage gains of all areas within the District;
west Texas also showed large percentage gains.
Northern Louisiana and southeastern New
Mexico posted only nominal percentage increases over June.
The oil allowable for Texas was set at a
record-breaking 54 percent of permissible production in August and will be held at this level
in September. The allowable for southeastern
New Mexico has been increased, whereas that
for Louisiana will be lower in September.
months of 1967, negotiable
In the first
time certificates of deposit issued in denominations of $100,000 or more increased quite
rapidly at the weekly reporting commercial
banks in the Eleventh District. For example,
from December 28, 1966, to August 16, 1967,
these large CD's rose from $1.02 billion to
$1.22 billion, or at a seasonally unadjusted
annual rate of 19 percent.
The rate of growth of these money market
instruments, however, was not steady over the
period. In the first quarter of the year, the
large CD's at the District's weekly reporting
commercial banks rose very rapidly, chiefly
reflecting declines in open market rates and
the resultant attractiveness of CD offering rates.
In the second quarter, on the other hand, the
12
amount of large CD's outstanding declined
slightly, as banks with relatively modest loan
demands became less aggressive in seeking
funds through large-denomination certificates of
deposit. Since early July, despite higher open
market rates, weekly reporting banks in the
District have again attracted considerable funds
through the large CD's, apparently in anticipation of an expansion in loan demand in the
coming months.
New passenger car registrations for July in
four major Texas markets were 14 percent
higher than those for the same month in 1966
but were 4 percent lower than in June 1967.
Declines in Houston and Dallas were responsible for the month-to-month dip; registrations
advanced in Fort Worth but were unchanged
in San Antonio. Cumulative registrations
through July this year were 1 percent beloW
the January-July 1966 total for the four
markets.
During the 4 weeks ended August 19, department store sales in the Eleventh District
were 7 percent higher than in the corresponding period in 1966. Cumulative sales thus far
in 1967 were 4 percent more than those for
the same period a year ago.
Despite a shortage of soil moisture in some
areas of the Eleventh District, crops generallY
have made good progress. Harvesting of major
crops is ahead of a year ago, and the earlier
than usual first cutting of rice is virtually complete. U.S. Department of Agriculture estitrlates
of rice and sorghum grain production in the
five southwestern states, as of August 1, place
output at 11 percent and 23 percent, respectively, above last year. Cotton production, on
the other hand, is indicated to be 9 percent
lower. The condition of livestock in the District
varies from fair to good. Prolonged periodS
without measurable rain in some areas have
resulted in reduced supplies of forage and have
necessitated supplemental feeding.
