quently, for the 3d month in a row,
there was little change in the overall
wholesale price index. The rise in
industrial prices was the fifth straight
monthly increase this year and brought
the annual rate of advance since
December to approximately 8)2 percent.
Auto sales decline further

The slump in new car sales that
began in April continued in May.
After a seasonally adjusted drop of 13
percent from March to April, retail
sales of domestically built passenger
cars fell 7 percent last month. Combined sales for April and May were 15
percent below the first quarter rate.
Aside from the strike-affected fall
months of 1964, the May rate of new
car sales was the lowest since June 1964.
However, sales improved in the first 10
days of June.
New car inventories held by dealers
have been rising steadily since January
and in May increased by 100,000 units,
the largest monthly addition in the
current model year.
End-of-May
stocks, seasonally adjusted, were at a
new peak of 1.5 million units. Relative
to sales, dealers' stocks now represent
two and one-half times the May rate
of deliveries, as compared with a stocksales ratio of 1.78 in the first quarter
of this year and 1.86 in the final
quarter of 1965.
Reflecting the lower rate of sales and
relatively high inventories, passenger
car production was cut back fairly
sharply in May. It was the first
significant reduction in assemblies in the
current business expansion, except for
the loss of output due to work stoppages.
On the other hand, truck production,
where demand from business and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
government continued strong, has been
maintained at about record rates.
The auto industry is shutting down for
model changeovers somewhat earlier
than in 1965, and for some models, the
shutdown will be for longer periods
than last year.
Steel adds to output rise

The reduction in auto assemblies
was the chief factor limiting the rise
(seasonally adjusted) in industrial production from April to May. The
Federal Reserve index increased close
to 1 percent over the month, paced by
sizable advances in business and defense
equipment, a substantial pickup in
steel production, and the recovery of
coal production from the April strikes.
The May increase in steel mill
operations—about 4 percent—marked

the 6th straight month of advance.
Steel ingot output in May, at an
annual rate of about 141 million tons
on a seasonally adjusted basis, was the
highest since the early summer months
of 1965, when steel users were pressing
the mills for strike-hedging tonnage.
Steel output has increased about 30
percent since November 1965.
With consumption at a record rate,
the steel inventory adjustment by
manufacturing consumers, underway
since September 1965, seems to be
about over. There was some liquidation of stocks in April, but the reduction
was only 100,000 tons (unadjusted);
this compares with an average monthly
decline of 700,000 tons in the first
quarter and of 1.4 million tons in the
previous quarter. At the end of April,

70

June 1966

manufacturing consumers' stocks were
down to 10.8 million tons from a high
of 17.2 million tons in August 1965,
the peak of the 1965 steel inventory
buildup. This carryover was the
lowest since December 1964 and, in
terms of the April rate of consumption,
represented a 38-day supply, a level
of inventories that has prevailed in
earlier periods of fairly normal operating conditions. With steel production
in May near a record rate and consumption held down somewhat by the
cutback in automobile production, steel
stocks held by manufacturing consumers may well show some increase
in May.
First quarter profits higher

The regular estimates of first quarter
corporate profits were about the same
as the preliminary figures presented
last month. Including the inventory
valuation adjustment, profits before
taxes rose $2.9 billion to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of $78.1 billion.
Durable goods manufacturers accounted
for almost $2 billion of the rise and
nondurable goods producers for most
of the remainder. The advance in
profits was due mainly to the unusually
large increase in output in the first
quarter and also to a rise in profit
margins, as chart 2 shows.

The Federal fiscal position improved
sharply in the first quarter. With
further improvement likely in the
April-June quarter (from the step-up in
receipts because of the new graduated
withholding rates and the restoration
of certain excises), the fiscal 1966 deficit
should be somewhat lower than the
$2.2 billion estimated in the January
budget (national accounts basis).
Recent estimates of fiscal 1966
receipts by the Treasury Department
and the Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue show corporate and personal
income tax receipts running well above
earlier estimates. Expenditures are
expected to match budget projections
closely. On balance, since no new measures of fiscal restraint beyond those
called for in the January budget were
introduced, most of the fiscal 1966

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1966

improvement reflects higher-than-projected levels of economic activity.
Federal deficit falls
The Federal budget position on a
national income and product accounts
basis moved to-virtual balance in the
first quarter of 1966, despite a $6%
billion rise in expenditures, the largest
absolute increase since the Korean
war period. This increase was more
than offset by an upsurge in receipts,
about $8% billion at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate. As a result, the
Federal fiscal position moved from a
$1% billion deficit in the fourth quarter
to a surplus of about $% billion in the
first.
The advance in first quarter receipts
was paced by a $6% billion rise in
social insurance contributions, a result
of the boost in social security tax rates
from 7.25 to 8.4 percent and of the
expansion in the wage base from $4,800
to $6,600. Sharp increases in personal
income and corporate profits during the
quarter raised personal and corporate
tax receipts substantially. Personal
taxbs rose over $2 billion and corporate
tax liabilities rose $1% billion. High
net final settlements on 1965 personal
tax liabilities also contributed to the
strong advance in personal taxes and
are expected to increase further in the

second quarter. Graduated withholding rates on wages and salaries that
were introduced in early May are
.estimated to add more than $% billion
(annual rate) to second quarter personal tax receipts.
Indirect business taxes fell in the
first quarter as a result of the $1%
billion reduction in excise taxes. The
cut was partially canceled in midMarch when Congress restored the excises on passenger automobiles and on
telephone and teletypewriter service to
pre-January 1 levels. The budget impact of the restored excise taxes—
about $1 billion at annual rates—will
be felt in the second quarter.
Nearly half of the large rise in expenditures occurred in national defense
purchases as military procurement for
Vietnam jumped sharply during the
quarter. Purchases of goods and services for civilian purposes were up only
moderately. Grants-in-aid, transfer
payments, and net interest paid also
moved up strongly. Higher outlays
for education and public assistance
programs accounted for most of the
rise in grants. New programs of social
security assistance, such as liberalized
benefits for widows, children, and the
disabled, contributed to the step-up in
transfers. Higher interest rates accounted for most of the marked advance
in net interest paid.

since the recent peak in the first quarter
of 1964, real outlays have declined
about 8 percent.
The short-run changes in real expenditures reflect the pattern of housing
starts with a lag of almost one quarter.

Residential Construction Activity
THE increased stringency in credit conditions apparent this year has introduced considerable uncertainty into the
outlook for honaebuilding activity for
the rest of 1966, despite the continued
strong flow of consumer income. This
uncertainty follows a period when
housing starts in a number of large
metropolitan areas were reduced to
correct overbuilding, particularly of
apartment houses and especially in the
Southwest and along the West Coast.
Outlays level off this spring
So far in 1966, current-dollar outlays
for private nonfarm residential structures have fluctuated within the relatively narrow range evident since the




spring of 1964. Outlays rose $1 billion
in the first quarter of this year to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$27.6 billion but appear to have leveled
off this spring.
Construction costs have shown sonxe
signs of accelerating this year. In the
first quarter, costs were some 4 percent
above those a year earlier, as compared
with increases of about 3 percent during
the 2 previous years. Constant-dollar
residential outlays, which make allowance for higher costs, also appeared to
show a pickup in the first quarter and a
leveling this spring. However, in contrast to the current-dollar expenditures,
real outlays have been in a moderate
downtrend over the past 2 years or so;

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1964.
With sales about unchanged, a
cutback in starts reduced unsold stocks
from the second half of 1964 through the
first quarter of this year. Judging by
the limited experience of the Census
Bureau survey, stocks of unsold homes
have been quite low relative to sales
since late last year, even though the
first quarter 1966 ratio was slightly
above the fourth quarter 1965 figure.

high. There are several underlying
reasons for the comparatively high rate
of multifamily housing. Demographic
factors are undoubtedly important:
The number of very young household
heads, who typically rent rather than
buy, began to increase a few years ago
and is expected to grow considerably
over the next several years. Apartment house construction has been very
strong in suburban areas, which have
had large population growth and which
up to a few years ago had shown relatively little construction of this type.
Multifamily construction was comparatively low throughout the 1930's,
1940's, and 1950's, and the apartment
house stock was in need of a major
renewal. The many new conveniences
introduced in modern apartment houses
have undoubtedly attracted many families and individuals.
The decline in apartment house construction from the peaks reached more
than 2 years ago was dampened because
cutbacks in response to increased vacancies did not occur simultaneously in all
regions. While starts were being reduced in some areas, they were still
rising in others, and in some areas that
completed their adjustment to overbuilding relatively early, starts began
to increase once again.
According to Census data, the national vacancy rate for rental units—
which include a substantial proportion
of single family houses for rent—was
slightly lower in the first quarter of
1966 than in the corresponding 1965
period. For both years, vacancy rates
were above those prevailing in early
1963 and 1964.
A more detailed view of the apartment house situation is provided by the
annual FHA vacanc)y survey of FHA
rental projects. On a national basis,
the 1965 data show a small rise in the
vacancy rate over early 1964, which
showed a rather sharp increase over
early 1963. Among the largest metropolitan areas, changes in vacancy rates
from 1964 to 1965 were mixed outside
of the Southwest and the West Coast,
where rates were uniformly higher and
at very high levels. The 1966 results
are not yet available. Apartment construction has been sharply curtailed in
those metropolitan areas with unusually

Multifamily

housing

The most remarkable aspect of the
multifamily housing market is not that
starts are down from their peaks of late
1963 and early 1964 but that they have
held up so well. On an annual basis,
multifamily starts in 1965 were only 8
percent below 1963, the recent annual

high vacancy rates. Last year, for
example, permits for apartment units
declined almost 35 percent in San
Francisco, about 40 percent in Houston,
Dallas, and San Diego, and 50 percent
in Los Angeles.
Mortgage markets tight

This spring, homebuilders and home
buyers have been faced with the most
unfavorable credit market conditions
since 1959. Even though there has
been a substantial rise in yields available on home mortgage investments,
rates on other types of debt instruments
have risen even faster, and mortgage
investments have become relatively less
attractive. In previous postwar years,
such a development has been associated
with a reduction in funds available
for construction and a cutback in
homebuilding.

sion. At present, however, conventional mortgage rates on new houses are
close to 6}i percent, as compared with
approximately 5% percent last fall.
The maximum rates permissible on

FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed home
mortgages have been boosted twice this
year. In early April, these rates were
raised % of a percent to 5% percent,
after a %-percent increase earlier in

June 1966

1966. In secondary market trading,
yields on FHA mortgages have risen to
about 6% percent, after staying under
5K percent from early 1963 through
late 1965.

1966 increase is smaller than the 1965
advance.
Among nondurable goods industries
both paper and textile companies are
planning substantial advances-—30 percent—in capital expenditures for 1966.
Last year, textile companies also increased their capital spending 30 percent; paper companies increased theirs
2 percent. Other nondurable goods
industries are expanding their spending
moderately—somewhat over the 20percent average for the nondurable
goods group. For the nondurable
goods industries as a whole, 1966
capital spending programs formulated
in May were about the same as 3
months earlier. Petroleum, paper, and
rubber companies raised their sights

June 1966

somewhat while textile, chemical, and
food-beverage groups scaled theirs
down.
Investment carryover and starts

At the end of March, expenditures
yet to be made by manufacturers on
investment projects already started
totaled $18.2 billion, up $1.3 billion
from the end of December and $3.5
billion from March 31, 1965. Carryover has continued to increase relative
to prospective expenditures. At the
end of the first quarter, backlogs of
uncompleted projects represented 85
percent of the anticipated rate of expenditures for the remainder of the
calendar year, as compared with 82
percent (of actual expenditures) in the

corresponding period of 1965 and 72
percent in 1964.
The rise in carryover over the past
year amounted to $2.3 billion for the
durable goods industries and $1.2 billion for the nondurables. In both
groups, backlogs of uncompleted projects have continued to increase relative to anticipated expenditures. Most
manufacturing industries reported a
larger amount of carryover at the end
of March than a year ago, with the
largest advance in the iron and steel,
nonelectrical machinery, and nonautomotive
transportation
equipment
groups.
Thus, the carryover of manufacturers'
projects is obviously quite high at
present and represents a strong under-

pinning for current investment programs. However, the figures, which
are not available on a seasonally adjusted basis, suggest that the $1.3
billion increase in carryover in the
opening quarter of this year was mostly
seasonal in nature. The motor vehicle,
stone, clay, and glass, and food-beverage
industries actually reduced their carryover during the first quarter, while the
increase for petroleum was probably
below seasonal expectations. Increases
in backlogs in the machinery and other
durable goods industries more than
offset these reductions.
Starts of new projects by manufacturers during the first quarter of 1966
totaled $6.9 billion—up $250 million
from the first quarter of 1965, but $500
million below the fourth quarter of last
year. This was the smallest year-toyear and first-to-fourth-quarter rise
since the series was initiated in 1963.
It probably represents a decline in
seasonally adjusted starts from the very
high fourth quarter rate. The value
of new projects undertaken during the
first 3 months of this year was smaller
than in the first and fourth quarters of
1965 in all major durable goods industries except electrical and nonelectrical
machinery, where commitments for
new projects were substantially increased. In nondurables, the component industries reported starts in the
first quarter equal to, or lower than,
those in the fourth quarter of 1965.

Manufacturers evaluation of capacity
The latest survey indicated rising
pressures on capacity. Companies
holding 51 percent of total manufacturing fixed assets considered their facilities on March 31 to be inadequate for
the next 12 months. This ratio was 3
percentage points above December 1965
and 9 percentage points above a year
earlier.
The rise from a year earlier in the
proportion of capacity considered inadequate was widespread among manufacturing industries. For the durable
goods group, the figure was 52 percent,
as against 42 percent at the end of
March 1965 and 36 percent in March
1964. Both primary metal producers
and metal fabricating companies re-

Nonmanufacturing Programs

ported much larger increases in the
inadequate proportion in the year
ended March 1966 than in the year
ended March 1965. In the nondurable
goods group, all the component industries reported a rise in the proportion
of assets considered inadequate at the
end of March, as compared with a year
earlier; the percentage for the group
as a whole rose from 43 to 49. However, the increases were a little smaller
than those shown from March 1964 to
March 1965.
The proportion of assets held by
firms reporting facilities in excess of
prospective needs dropped to a low of
4 percent as of March 31, with declines
from a year earlier general among the
various industries. An exception was
the primary metals industry, which
showed no change.
Producers accounting for 45 percent
of fixed assets in manufacturing felt
that their facilities were about adequate
for current and prospective needs over
the next 12 months—as compared with
52 percent as of March 1965 and 58
percent as of March 1964.

Transportation companies are planning to spend $5}£ billion on new plant
and equipment this year. For the
railroads, the planned outlays are onefifth larger than 1965 expenditures; for
other transportation companies, they
are one-fourth larger. Increases of
these proportions would be about the
same as those realized last year.
Railroads have revised their programs
upward since the survey 3 months ago
and are now projecting sizable increases
in spending in each quarter. The bulk
of the rise over last year's total and
the strong upward trend during 1966
occur primarily in spending for equipment. However, more than half of the
upward revision since February in
planned 1966 outlays was for roadways.
The shortage of freight cars relative
to demand continues to persist. At
the end of March, the number of freight
cars owned by railroads was about the
same as at the end of 1964 and smaller
than in the 2 preceding years—although
the freight cars currently being installed

are larger and more efficient than those
being replaced.
New orders for freight cars placed by
the railroads during the first quarter
were at the highest levels in 10 years
and totaled one-third more than in the
corresponding period of last year. At
the end of April, backlogs were at the
highest point in 10 years, having risen
by nearly one-third during the first
quarter.
In nonrail transportation, the airlines
account for most of the rise in investment from 1965 to 1966; trucking firms
are planning to spend moderately more
this year. The airlines expect to spend

$1.8 billion—more than one and onehalf times their 1965 outlays. Order
backlogs for civilian aircraft are more
than two-fifths above those of a year
earlier.
Public utilities spent over $K billion
more (annual rates) on new plant and
equipment in the first quarter than
anticipated 3 months ago; both the
electric and gas portions of the industry
contributed to the upward revision.
Electric utilities are projecting a rising
rate of outlays throughout 1966, but gas
utilities expect some tapering of programs during the remainder of this year.
The carryover of uncompleted proj-

June 1966

ects by utility companies rose sizably
in the first quarter of this year. Carryover totaled a record $9.8 billion at the
end of March, up $1.8 billion from
December 31, 1965, and $2.2 billion
from a year earlier. Projects with a
total anticipated cost of $3.4 billion
were started during the first quarter of
this year—up 2 percent from the corresponding period of 1965. The rise from
the fourth quarter of last year to the
first quarter was a little smaller than in
the corresponding periods of the 2
previous years; this suggests that this
year's, rise was probably seasonal in
nature.

2. Estimates are based on anticipated capital expenditures reported by business in late April and May 1966. The estimates for the second and third quarters of 1966 have been adjusted
when necessary for systematic tendencies in anticipatory data. The adjustment for each industry and time period is based on the median ratio of actual to anticipated expenditures for the past
5 years. However, no adjustment is made unless the anticipations have shown a bias in the same direction in at least 4 of the last 5 years and in at least two-thirds of all years since 1956.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1966

The communications and commercial
sectors scaled down their 1966 capital
spending programs between the February and May surveys. Actual expenditures in the first quarter—at
$17.7 billion—were $% billion less than
anticipated earlier this year. Outlays
are expected to rise in the succeeding
quarters of 1966 but at slightly lower
rates than previously scheduled.

Both the communications and the
commercial groups are expecting expenditures to be about one-eighth
higher than in 1965. If realized, these
increases would be about the same as
last year for communications but somewhat larger for commercial companies.
Within the commercial group, wholesale and service firms anticipate the
largest year-to-year increases.

66-6-7

MANUFACTURERS expect more moderate
sales increases in the spring and summer
quarters than they experienced in 1965
and early 1966. They expect inventory
additions to ease slightly in the second
quarter and then return to the high
accumulation rate that has prevailed
since mid-1965. These projections imply that stocks would be maintained
through September at 1.6 months of
sales, a ratio that has changed little
since early 1965. Manufacturers' evaluations of their inventory condition
have also been stable from March 1965
to March 1966. During this period,
manufacturers holding approximately
four-fifths of producers' stocks considered them "about right"; producers
holding 15 to 16 percent of stocks considered them "high"; and holders of
only 3 to 4 percent of stocks considered
them "low."
These findings are based on reports
filed in May by manufacturers in
OBE's quarterly expectations survey.
Modest sales gains projected
Durable goods producers expect sales
to rise almost 1 percent from the first to
the second quarter and somewhat under
2 percent from the second to the third,
after seasonal adjustment. These increases follow sales gains of 4K percent
in the first quarter of 1966 and 2 percent
in the fourth quarter of 1965. Industries that supply capital goods and
defense products expect continuing
substantial increases in shipments, but
the motor vehicles industry anticipates
some easing from the high first quarter
rate.

13
Sales gains projected by nondurable
goods producers about match those of
the durable goods producers. A rise of
about 1 percent is expected in the second quarter and a rise of slightly under
1% percent in the third. These are not
too different from the increases in the
second half of last year but are much
smaller than the 3% percent gain
achieved in the first quarter of 1966.
Manufacturers' sales totaled $129.5
billion in the first quarter and are expected to reach $132.4 billion in the
third, with durable goods producers
projecting sales of $69.6 billion and
nondurable goods producers projecting
sales of $62.8 billion.
Inventory expansion continues
Durable goods producers plan to add
$950 million to their stocks in the current quarter; this would match the inventory rise of the first quarter. For
the third quarter, they are currently
planning additions of $1K billion—

seasonal adjustment. If these sales
and inventory expectations eventuate,
the stock-sales ratio, which was 1.94 in
September 1965 and 1.91 this March,
will rise to about 1.95 in September.
Nondurable goods producers expect
to add $300 million to their inventories
in both the second and the third

quarters. Their anticipated additions
are below actual additions in each of
the two previous quarters, which were
at the very high rate of $700 million.
However, the projected increases are
not much different from the average
quarterly accumulation rates of 1965.
Chemicals and, to a lesser extent,
rubber and textile companies account
for most of the expected rise from
March to September.
Nondurable goods producers' stocks
are anticipated at $27 billion in September, as compared with $26,4 billion in
March. These levels and the sales
expectations imply maintenance of the
stock-sales ratio at 1.3 months of sales.

equal to the peak accumulation rates of
the current expansion. The machinery
and aircraft industries expect sizable
additions to stocks in this period.
The book value of durable goods
producers' stocks was $43.3 billion on
March 31 and is expected to rise to
$45K billion by September 30, after

Manufacturers7 evaluation of their
inventory condition relative to their
sales and unfilled orders showed only
minor shifts from December 31, 1965,
to March 31, 1966. For both dates,
companies holding 15 percent of total
inventories judged their inventories as
"high." This ratio has ranged from 13
to 17 percent during the past 4 years.
Producers holding 18 percent of
durable goods stocks considered their
inventories "high" on March 31—down
1 percentage point from December 31,
1965, and 2 points from a year earlier.
The "about right" group held 79 percent of inventories on March 31, 1966,
and the "low" group 3 percent.
The "high" proportion for primary
metals producers fell from 9 percent in
December to 6 percent in March and
was close to the lowest point for the
current expansion period. Metal fabricators classifying stocks as "high"
reported a ratio of 20 in March—up
1 point from December, with motor
vehicles and fabricated metals pro-ducers accounting for the rise.
The "high" ratio for nondurable
goods producers rose from 8 percent in
December to 10 percent in March,
with the rise widespread among the
industries. The "about right" category held 85 percent of soft goods
stocks, and the "low" category 5 percent.

U.S. travelers spent an average of
$1,120 for a trip to Europe last year,
about $40 less per person than in 1964
and a continuation of the downward
trend evident since 1956. Transatlantic fares accounted for a slightly higher
proportion of the total trip cost, 46
percent, as compared with 45 percent
in 1964. Fares averaged $510 per U.S.

The U.S. Balance of International Payments: First Quarter 1966
J.HE balance of the international
payments of the United States measured on the liquidity basis—i.e., by
changes in U.S. official reserve assets
and in U.S. liabilities to all foreign
residents—was adverse by nearly $80
million in the first quarter of 1966.
Seasonal factors had a strong favorable
influence on the balance, and adjustment for them raises the adverse
balance by about $485 million.
The seasonally adjusted balance of
$563 million was more adverse than the
balance of about $350 million during
the fourth quarter of last year and the
average quarterly balance of $340 million for 1965 as a whole. However, it
was more favorable than the adverse
balance of nearly $700 million in the
first quarter of last year.
The balance measured on the basis
of official reserve transactions—consisting of changes in U.S. official reserve
assets and in liquid and certain nonliquid liabilities to foreign central banks
and other official organizations—was
adverse by about $245 million, after
seasonal adjustment. This was a very
substantial improvement over the adverse balance of $1.2 billion in the last
quarter of 1965, and it also compares
favorably with the average quarterly
balance of $325 million for 1965 as a
whole.
The principal difference between the
two balances in the first quarter of
this year was that after seasonal adjustment liquid liabilities to foreign
private residents increased while those
to foreign official organizations declined.
In the preceding quarter, these liabilities shifted in opposite directions.
U.S. official reserves declined during
the first quarter by $424 million, as
compared with $271 million in the
preceding quarter. Gold holdings fell
by $68 million, convertible currency
holdings by $222 million, and the U.S.
18




gold tranche position in the International Monetary Fund by $134 million.
Net gold sales were less than in the
preceding quarter, but the decline in
net sales was facilitated by a purchase
of $100 million from Canada.
Chart 11 shows the relationship
between the two measures of the
balance and the changes in reserve
assets since 1960.

Summary of Major
Developments
The major developments that
affected the international transactions
of the United States in the second
half of last year seem to have continued during the first quarter.
Effects of U.S. business activity

The rapid expansion in domestic
business activity and incomes contributed to the continuing sharp rise
in merchandise imports and certain
service expenditures. Merchandise imports reached a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of $24 billion in the first
quarter as compared with $22.7 billion
in the second half of 1965 and $21.5
billion for 1965 as a whole. During
March and April, they even exceeded
a $25 billion rate.
The domestic business expansion
also increased domestic capital requirements relative to funds available for
investments and thus contributed to a
further tightening of the domestic
money and capital markets. Although
the effects of these developments on
the balance of payments cannot be
separated from those of the various
Government programs to restrain capital outflows, it is reasonable to assume
that they-reinforced each other in
achieving that result.
After taking account of $185 million
borrowed abroad by U.S. corporations
to finance their foreign investments,

The tabular presentation of the
U.S. balance of payments has
been reorganized. In this work,
the Office of Business Economics
has benefited from the advice of
the Review Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics, the
Subcommittee on Economic Statistics of the Joint Economic
Committee of the Congress of the
United States, the Executive Committee of the Cabinet Committee
on Balance of Payments, and the
Technical Committee on Balance
of Payments Statistics chaired by
the U.S. Bureau of the Budget.
Professor Peter Kenen of Columbia University served as consultant to the Technical Committee.
To provide comparable back
data for an extensive period,
annual figures on the international
transactions of the United States
are presented in the new format
back to 1946 in table 1. The
area breakdown that used to be
part of this table is now shown
separately in table 8 for years
beginning with 1960.
As part of the regular June revisions, seasonal adjustments of
the quarterly data have been recomputed by extending through
1965 the period on which these
adjustments are based. The revised seasonally adjusted data are
presented for the years 1960 to
1965 in table 2. This table corresponds in format to table 1, which
contains the data prior to seasonal
adjustment. Other statistical revisions of data presented in earlier
issues of the SURVEY are, with a
few exceptions, limited to 1965.

Effects of foreign business developments
Changes in foreign business activity
affect primarily U.S. merchandise exports and income from direct investments abroad; they probably affect U.S.
imports and capital outflows also, but
to a lesser extent.
As compared with the earlier years
of the 1960's, the rise in business
activity during most of 1965 in the
industrially advanced foreign countries
other than Canada was relatively slow,
but it accelerated in some of these
countries in the latter part of the year
and in the first quarter of this year.
Merchandise exports generally reflected these changes. During the first
quarter, they were at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of $28.5 billion,
more than $2 billion above the annual

total of $26.3 billion in 1965. This
was a considerable acceleration over
the $1 billion rise from 1964 to 1965.
First quarter exports were approximately at the rate that could be expected on the basis of the relationships
between exports and foreign business
activity in prior years. Through that
period, at least, neither limitations of
productive capacity nor rising prices
in the United States apparently had a
measurable adverse effect on exports.
Investment income rose relatively
slowly last year, particularly in view of
the increase in the size of foreign investments and if allowance is made for
special dividend distributions during
the first half of the year. Incomes
from investments by the petroleum
industry were adversely affected by
lower petroleum prices and higher
taxes in the oil-producing countries.
During the first quarter, however, the
upward movement in investment incomes seems to have been resumed.

only on the volume of imports but also
on their prices.
Major erratic changes

The first quarter balance was also
influenced by changes in certain types
of transactions that are either temporary, self-reversing, or subject to major

CHART 12

Effect of rise in military expenditures

The $66 million rise in military
expenditures was another major factor
influencing the balance of payments.
The total during the first quarter,
according to reports that are still
preliminary, was about $835 million,
or $3.35 billion at an annual rate.
This was about $0.5 billion higher than
the average rate in 1964, before the
recent rise began.
The increase in total expenditures
since 1964 was slightly less than the
$0.6 billion rise in expenditures in the
area comprising all of Asia and Africa
(shown in table 8) as well as in Japan,
and may be attributed to the hostilities
in Vietnam. The figure above covers
only direct expenditures by the military
organizations and their personnel. It
does not cover the indirect effects on the
foreign transactions of the United
States, particularly imports that are
attributable to the increase in domestic
demand associated with the increase in
military orders and expenditures. It
may be noted, however, that the withdrawal of strategic materials from the
U.S. stockpile helped to dampen the
rise in imports, through its effect not

erratic changes. The postponement of
$150 million of new issues of Canadian
securities from the fourth quarter of
1965 to the first quarter of this year
was mentioned earlier. In part, the
outflow of funds resulting from the
purchases of these securities was reduced through repurchases by the
Canadian Government of $40 million
of its own obligations that had been
sold to U.S. insurance companies in
1962 at the time of the Canadian
exchange difficulties. These securities
transactions increased U.S. net payments in the first quarter by $110
million. Net payments were also
raised by the liquidations by foreign
official organizations of $53 million of
nonconvertible, nonmarketable, medium-term Government securities.
On the positive side of the ledger
were net receipts of about $100 million
from long-term investments by foreign
official and international agencies. Advance receipts on military contracts,
including those from purchases by a
foreign central bank of special U.S.
Treasury bonds that will be paid off
through the transfer of funds to the
manufacturers of the military equipment, are estimated to have been
$70 million, but this was about $80
million less than in the fourth quarter
of last year.
The total of such transactions—initiated largely by the U.S. Government
or by foreign official agencies—was
less favorable to the U.S. balance of
payments than were similar transactions in the preceding quarter, and it is
this difference that accounts to a large
extent for the deterioration of the
(liquidity) balance in the first quarter.
The balance on transactions (particularly in goods and services and capital
flows) that are affected mainly by domestic and foreign business activity,
by the various programs to improve the
balance of payments, and by the ordinary operations under the foreign aid
programs had improved sufficiently to
offset the rise in military expenditures
abroad. However, this was accomplished by a continued decline in net
capital outflows to a rate that may not
be maintained, much less reduced
significantly.

June 1966

Merchandise Trade
In the first quarter of 1966, U.S.
exports and imports, adjusted to a
balance of payments basis, were at
record levels. Imports, however, advanced more strongly than exports and
the export surplus dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $4.5 billion.
This was below the export balances of
$4.8 billion in 1965 and $6.7 billion in
1964.
Exports
Exports rose by about 1 percent from
the fourth quarter of 1965 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $28.5 billion
in the first quarter. The first quarter
rate was about 8 percent above the 1965
total. This gain was well above the 4
percent rise from 1964 to 1965 and exceeded the . 7 percent annual average
growth rate of the preceding 10 years.
The increase from the fourth quarter
was concentrated in exports of nonagricultural goods to areas other than
Canada. Shipments to Canada, which
had comprised a large part of the gain
in exports in 1965, leveled off in the
first quarter. Agricultural exports,
which had risen in the second half of
last year, remained unchanged; those
under aid programs increased somewhat
while commercial exports fell off.
Agricultural exports in the first
quarter, after adjustment for seasonal
variations, were at an annual rate of
$6.7 billion, about the same amount as
in the two preceding quarters. During
the remainder of this year, exports of
wheat, other grains, and soybeans are
expected to continue to expand. Exports of cotton, which declined in the
first quarter, should recover after the
start of the new marketing year on
August 1, when the export price of U.S.
cotton will be free to adjust to the world
market prices, thus making U.S. cotton
more competitive in international trade.
Exports of most major nonagricultural commodities in the first quarter of
1966 were considerably above the 1965
quarterly average. Increases in machinery exports, after seasonal allowance, probably accounted for a large
part of the nonagricultural export rise
from the fourth quarter. New export
orders for machinery rose substantially
during 1965 and have remained at the




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

high fourth quarter level during the
first 4 months of 1966. Since exports
generally lag about 6 months behind the
receipt of orders, a further expansion of
machinery exports above the first
quarter rate may be» expected.
The first quarter rise in total exports
was held down by the failure offseasonally adjusted) shipments of automobiles
and parts to increase. These had risen
sharply in the last quarter of 1965,
reflecting the implementation of the
U.S.-Canadian trads agreement for the
automotive industry. Although virtually unchanged in the first quarter of
this year, automotive exports remained
well above the 1965 quarterly average.
Agricultural exports are expected to
increase during the year, and there
should be an early resumption in the
upward trend in shipments to Canada,
in view of the continued expansion of
the Canadian economy. Improvements in industrial production in Japan
should also help to stimulate foreign
demand for U.S. goods. Business conditions in Western Europe, however,
remain mixed, and thus may not make
a major contribution to an expansion
of U.S. exports in the near future.
Imports
With domestic business activity expanding rapidly and capacity utilization pressing against optimum operating
rates, U.S. imports continued to grow
rapidly in the early months of this year.
Last year, imports rose by 15 percent,
as compared with an average rise of
about 6 percent in the preceding 10
years. It is true that 1965 imports

21
were increased by an extraordinary rise
in the demand for steel in anticipation
of a strike in the U.S. steel industry,
but this addition was partly offset
by exceptionally low imports of foodstuffs.
From 1964 to 1965, imports other
than foodstuffs increased about 18
percent, as compared with a rise in
GNP of 7.6 percent. The ratio of
these two percentage figures—which
approximately measures the income
elasticity of nonfood imports for that
period—was 2.3, or more than double
the 1.1 ratio for the 1960 to 1964
period (table A). (The omission of
the extraordinary imports of steel and
of automobile imports from Canada,
which increased sharply because of the
U.S.-Canadian automotive trade agreement, would lower the 1964-65 ratio
only slightly.) The ratio based on
changes from the average of 1965 to
the first quarter of 1966 was 2.2.
The slight drop from the ratio for the
1964-65 period seems to have been due
mainly to a slower rise in imports of
industrial materials relative to GNP—even after adjustment for last year's
extraordinary steel imports.
First quarter imports of industrial
supplies were affected by larger drawings on the Government stockpile and
a steep rise in foreign relative to
domestic prices for copper. The decline
in imports of primary copper was partly
offset by an increase in imports of
fabricated copper products. In view
of limited domestic supplies, a further
expansion in the domestic demand for

activity.




June 1966

offered debt instruments of various
kinds. Also, it is somewhat larger
than the amounts actually received by
the borrowers since discounts and
commissions have not been deducted.
Out of the $397 million borrowed
through U.S.-incorporated affiliates up
to the end of March, it is believed
that approximately $100 million had
been transferred to foreign subsidiaries
by that date. This includes somewhat
less than $40 million transferred during
the first quarter. The difference between the amounts realized from borrowing and the amounts transferred
was retained by the U.S. corporations
in liquid assets abroad and is recorded
as a short-term capital outflow (table 1,
line 40). The disposition of the funds
borrowed through foreign-incorporated
affiliates is not currently known.
The net result of foreign borrowing
has been to reduce the need for U.S.
funds considerably. In the remainder
of the year, as the accumulated liquid
foreign assets of the U.S.-incorporated
affiliates are transferred to foreign
affiliates to finance their investments,
the capital outflow for direct investment will be increased, but this will be
offset by a corresponding reduction in
short-term investments, so that there
will be no net effect on the balance.
Notable features of first quarter
direct investments were the relatively
low figure for Western Europe, $230
million, and the sustained large outflow
to Canada, $210 million. The annual
flow to Europe in 1964 and 1965 was
$1.4 billion, and in view of the enlarged
investments projected for that area
by major firms in 1966, a somewhat
higher pace of outflows may be expected for the rest of the year. In the
case of Canada, a considerable number
of major projects that will probably
keep the outflow relatively high are in
progress. However, the outflow of
$0.9 billion to Canada in 1965 included
about $0.2 billion to refinance outstanding debt of foreign enterprises to
the United States; such transactions
are unlikely to recur in 1966. A
sizable part of the financing of Canadian affiliates is obtained by sales of
their bonds in U.S. capital markets.

June 1966

In 1965, such sales amounted to $219
million; they totaled about $70 million
in the first quarter of 1966, and a similar
amount may be sold in the second
quarter.
In contrast to the large capital
outflow to Middle East oil-producing
countries in early 1965, the flow in the
first quarter of 1966 was relatively
small. These capital movements are
quite irregular, and heavy tax or other
payments may result in larger outflows
later in the year.
Other private investments

Purchases of new foreign securities
offered in the United States were unusually high—$460 million—in the first
quarter of 1966. Even if $150 million
of delayed Canadian issues is deducted,
the annual rate of outflow would be
$1.2 billion. This is as high as the
average of the 1963-65 period. Canadian issues accounted for $413 million
of the first quarter total, and large
amounts of Canadian issues have already been sold or are scheduled for
sale in the second quarter. It appears
that Canadian issues in the U.S. market
in 1966 will considerably exceed the
$700 million annual average of 1963-65.
In contrast, sales by other countries
will be well under their 1963-65 average
of $470 million. This decline reflects
the application of the Interest Equalization Tax, from which Canadian issues
are exempt, to new issues of other
developed countries.
Redemptions of outstanding issues
by foreigners were unusually large in
the first quarter because of the advance
repurchase by the Canadian Government of $40 million of its bonds held
in the United States. This offset part
of the heavy new flow of funds to
Canada. Americans continued to reduce their holdings of foreign equity
securities.
Other private capital transactions
included a net accumulation of $160
million of short-term assets in Europe
by nonbanking concerns. This represents largely the proceeds of $185
million borrowed abroad by U.S.-incorporated firms, less the use of funds
borrowed in the same period or in
1965. Apparently there was very little

further repatriation of outstanding
short-term funds held abroad, in contrast to the net recorded inflow of
nearly $250 million in the first quarter
of 1965.
U.S. banks further reduced both their
long- and their short-term assets in the
first quarter. The reduction in shortterm assets by $137 million, after
seasonal adjustment, largely reflected
repayments by Colombia and Venezuela. Reductions in longer term loans
resulted primarily from repayments by
European countries, especially Italy,
and by Brazil and Venezuela. The
only sizable outflow of longer term
banking funds was to' Australia. At
the end of March, the banks' foreign
assets were about $700 million below
the limit suggested under guidelines
established by the Federal Reserve
System.

of other U.S. securities, the gain to
the U.S. balance of payments was
diminished.
Other foreign investments in the
United States were relatively minor in
the first quarter. Long-term deposits
with U.S. banks were raised by $50
million and foreigners increased their
short-term claims on U.S. commercial
concerns by about the same amount.
There were inflows on a similar scale in
both of these types of assets during 1965
but the timing was highly irregular.

Foreign investments in the
United States

Foreign transactions in U.S. securities in the first quarter of 1966 were
marked by a continuing net liquidation
of U.S equity securities, amounting to
$50 million for the quarter, offset by
purchases of U.S. bonds (other than
bonds of the U.S. Government) of $191
million. The foreign purchases of U.S.
bonds include nearly $185 million of
the issues of companies especially organized to finance direct foreign investments. In addition, $73 million were
purchased by international organizations. Other trading in U.S. bonds
resulted in a net liquidation of about
$65 million. This liquidation and a
similar but smaller net liquidation in
the fourth quarterof 1965 contrast with
a small net purchase balance (aside
from transactions related to the liquidation of British Government holdings
of U.S. securities) registered during
1964 and the first three quarters of
1965. Such a shift could be related
to market conditions abroad, where
yields were driven up by intense demands for funds. One important element in the market was the sale to
foreigners of the bonds of the newly
organized affiliates of U.S. companies;
to the extent the purchase of these
bonds was financed by the liquidation

Income on investments

Income received from direct foreign
investments was at an annual rate of
about $4.0 billion in the first quarter,
about the same as the total for 1965.
Dividend distributions, however, were
unusually large in the early part of 1965
because of changes in taxation and other
special reasons. These special distributions amounted to about $125 million.
There were no such unusual distributions this year. Without these special
distributions, income received in 1965
would have been about $3.8 billion, and
the first quarter 1966 rate would indicate a continued rise.
Data by industry are not yet available, but in 1965 some weakening in
petroleum income appeared offset by
higher income from other industries.
In the first quarter of 1966, income
continued to be relatively low in the
areas where petroleum production is
important and to rise gradually in other
areas. Income could ordinarily be
expected to rise as the investment base
grows, unless much larger amounts are
retained abroad for reinvestment. However, the petroleum industry is being
adversely affected by higher taxes and
intensified competition, and manufacturing and other enterprises may also
be experiencing reduced profit rates.
Income on private investments other
than direct made further gains in the
first quarter. This reflected partly the
growing holdings of foreign bonds, but
to an even greater extent, it reflected
rising interest rates. Income payments
by the United States are also rising,
primarily because of the higher interest
rates on time deposits and U.S. Government obligations.

picture
film for rental rather than sale.
3
Includes exports of domestically owned goods out of storage abroad (e.g., U.S. grain
sold from storage in Canada); exports of electrical energy; exports of nonmonetary gold and
silver, and net sales of gold by U.S. private residents to the U.S. monetary gold stock;
personal remittances in kind (gift parcels sent through the mail); and transfers, financed

Includes imports of electrical energy; and imports of nonmonetary gold and silver, and
net7 purchases of gold by the U.S. private residents from the U.S. monetary gold stock.
Imports in the third and fourth quarters of 1965 were distorted by the U.S. seamen s
strike and by changes in Customs Bureau procedures for verifying and handling import
documents. An adjustment for these factors is included in lines 11 and 14 of the table, but
could
not be carried into the commodity detail.

The entries in this line reflect only an approximate measure of merchandise exports not
financed by Government grants and capital outflows since Government financing of exports
may not coincide with actual shipments.

v Preliminary
1. Total increase represents changes in reported gold reserves of foreign central banks and
governments (including international organizations but excluding the countries of the Soviet
bloc) net of convertible currencies included in U.S. official reserve assets (table 1, line 48) plus
foreign liquid claims on the United States (table 1, lines 58 and 59) plus net changes in foreign
IMF positions through U.S. dollar transactions.
Changes through known transactions with the United States represents for each of the separate
areas shown the sum (with sign reversed) of table 1, lines 23, 25, 32, 41, and 51-57. For "All
areas" line 60 is added, and for "All areas" and "International organizations and unallocated"
line 23 is adjusted to exclude net sales or net purchases (—) of gold by U.S. private residents
to the U.S. monetary gold stock. These were (in millions of dollars): 1964: year, -89; I, -19;
II, -22; III, -21; IV, -27; 1965: year, -118; I, -21; II, -31; III, -29; IV, -37; 1966:1, -34.




Changes through other transactions equals "Total increase" less "Changes through known
transactions with the United States." For "All areas" this difference represents known
acquisitions (+) of sales (—) of gold by foreign central banks and governments outside the
United States. These net acquisitions equal the excess of new gold production abroad plus
sales by the Soviet bloc less net gold purchases by others. For each of the separate areas
shown the difference reflects net gold and dollar receipts (-}-) or payments (—) resulting from
their transactions with countries other than the United States, and from'unrecorded transactions with the United States.
2. Includes transactions with shipping companies operating under the flag of Honduras,
Liberia, and Panama.

America were more numerous by 19
percent.
Of 584,000 visitors from Europe and
the Mediterranean, about 68 percent
came on pleasure trips; the proportion
of pleasure travelers was slightly smaller
than in 1964. Total expenditures here
by Europeans amounted to about $185
million, an increase of 16 percent.
British visitors spent $62 million here
last year, one-third of the area total.
Visitors from South and Central
America and the West Indies, though
fewer in number than European visitors, spent an equal amount, $185 million, for their travel expenses in the
United States. This was 18 percent
more than the $151 million spent in
1964. Visitors from the Dominican
Eepublic were less numerous last year,
about 13 percent below the 53,000 in
1964. Their visits are often restricted
to neighboring Puerto Eico and their
expenditures are relatively small.
About 170,000 visitors came from
other oversea areas and spent nearly
$90 million. Those from Japan spent
$26 million here last year, as compared
with $25 million in 1964.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

JLHE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1965 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SUKVEY
OF CUKEENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.00) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures, and historical data
as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1961 through 1964 (1954-64 for major quarterly series), annually, 1939-64; for selected series,
monthly or quarterly, 1947-64 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1965 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated
by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1964 issued too late for inclusion in the 1965 volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the September 1965 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data for periods not shown herein corresponding
to revised annual data are available upon request.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Data from private sources are provided through
the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.

Beginning with indexes for Jan. 1966, data for six additional areas (Cincinnati, Houston,
Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and San Diego) have been incorporated
into the national CPI. These areas were "linked" into the CPI as of Dec. 1965 and were
first used in calculating the Dec. 1965-Jan. 1966 price change.
d"Compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. (failures data are for 48 States and Dist. Col.).
