time in 5 months. It was also reflected
in the demand for labor, which edged
down as cuts were made in weekly
hours of A\ork and in the number of
persons employed. Information on final
sales is still spotty, but consumer
buying, after increasing in March and
April, apparently rose again in May, to
judge from the advance report on retail
sales. Government purchases are still
moving ahead at a brisk pace, but
business outlays for new plant and
equipment are drifting down. If investment expenditures turn out as
planned, they will resume their rise
this summer.
It appears that output in the second
quarter will show another reduction in
inventory investment but not as much
as in the first. In April, manufacturing
and trade firms added only $100 million
to the book value of their inventories.
A rise in manufacturing inventories,
which reflected mainly increased workin-process of industries producing defense goods and a rise in finished goods,
was almost offset by reductions in
stocks held by wholesalers and retailers.
The April advance was the smallest
monthly accumulation so far this year;
stocks rose $1 billion in January, $200
million in February, and $300 million
in March.

In May, personal income rose $2.8
billion, at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate, with $2.1 billion or three-fourths
of the rise attributable to higher nonpayroll incomes. The $0.7 billion advance in wage and salary disbursements
was the same as the April rise. Most of
the net gain over the month occurred
in government as private payrolls were
about unchanged for the second month
in a row; increases in service and distributive industry payrolls during May
approximately offset reductions in manufacturing and construction.
Nonpayroll incomes generally showed
increases in May. An advance in prices
received by farmers was partly responsible for raising the income of farm
proprietors for the first time this year.
Transfer payments rebounded after a
$0.4 billion decrease in April. Dividend
and interest incomes continued to rise
at about the same rates as in the early
months of 1967.
The slowdown in the growth in income, particularly payrolls, is brought
out in the table below, which shows
quarterly changes since the second
quarter of 1966. Data for May have
been used to represent the second
quarter of 1967.

The growth in personal income, which
slowed a little in the first quarter, has
slackened noticeably this spring. During the last 2 months, the increase in
total income was about three-fifths of
the first quarter rate. Part of the
slackening was due to a drop in manufacturing payrolls, but the rise in nonmanufacturing payrolls has also slowed.

Employment declines

The number of employees on nonagricultural payrolls declined in May
for the second month in a row, bringing
the overall drop since March to 165,000
persons, after seasonal adjustment.
Cutbacks in manufacturing and construction employment were substantial;
a strike in the rubber industry cut employment sharply, and unseasonable
weather was partly responsible for the
much-less-than-seasonal gain in construction employment.
Manufacturers are continuing to adjust their production schedules by
reducing employment and weekly hours
of work. Since the January peak, manufacturing employment has declined by
325,000 persons, and two-thirds of this
reduction has occurred since March.
Cutbacks this year have been wide-

spread in both durable and nondurable
goods industries.
The reduction in average weekly
hours of work in manufacturing during
May centered in nondurable goods
industries.Establishments in construction, mining, and trade also shortened
the workweek. Every industry division
except contract construction now reports
a decrease in hours since May 1966; for
the total private economy, the reduction since a year ago amounts to 0.7
hours.
Despite the lower demand for labor
this spring, the unemployment rate has
not changed much. The seasonally adjusted rate for May—3.8 percent—was
little different from other recent months.
Rates for both adult men and women
held at low levels, but there were increases for teenagers, unskilled workers,
and nonwhites.
The reason that unemployment has
not changed significantly in the face of
reduced labor demand is that there
have been sizable withdrawals from the
labor force. Since January, withdrawals
from the work force have totaled
% million for adult women and 200,000
each for adult men and teenagers. According to the Labor Department, bad
weather has held down the entrance
of temporary seasonal workers into
outdoor jobs; in addition, an exceptionally large advance occurred in the
female labor force in the second half
of 1966, and this was not likely to be
sustained.

June 1967

the comparable period of 1966, when
the steel industry was operating close
to peak levels.
Since the low point in February, tne
production of passenger cars has paralleled the pattern of dealers' sales. In
line with the improvement in new car
sales, assemblies in April and May combined were 13 percent higher than the
first quarter average though they were
still 12 percent below the fourth quarter
of 1966.
Production schedules for June call
for the building of nearly 780,000
passenger cars, well above May, after
seasonal adjustment. Factory shutdowns and vacations for the model
changeover period are expected to
begin in mid-July, about the same
time as in 1967. According to present
industry plans, however, plant shutdowns will be shorter than last year,
and production of the new models will
start somewhat earlier. This will enable
the industry to turn out a relatively
large volume of the new models before
the expiration of the labor contract on
September 6.
Consumer spending rises

Sales of new domestically produced
passenger cars, after increasing in
March and April, were about unchanged
in May. The seasonally adjusted annual
rate of new car sales held at the 7.9
million figure for April, well above
average monthly sales of 7.2 million
units in the first quarter of 1967. Sales
in early June showed an improvement
over the May rate. At the end of May,

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

June, 1967

Money and Credit Markets
So far in 1967, heavy demands for
long-term capital funds have brought a
record volume of new security offerings.
With pressures in capital markets
emerging in April and intensifying in
May, bond yields rose. The strong
demand for funds has occurred partly
because corporations have maintained
their fixed investment close to peak
rates in the face of reduced flows of
internally generated funds. The unexpectedly heavy demand for long-term
funds also reflects the return to the
market of borrowers who were forced to
borrow short-term funds during last
year's credit shortage or who chose, like
State and local governments, to defer
financing until more favorable terms
became available. Furthermore, the unusually heavy demands probably reflect
anticipation of scarce credit and higher
costs in the second half of this year.
While bond yields were climbing
sharply during recent weeks, unusually
large flows of funds to short-term
markets helped to continue a pro-

nounced 6-month decline in interest
rates. These heavy flows of short-term
funds are in part the product of persistent Federal Eeserve efforts to ease
credit conditions. In addition, funds
have been channeled to short-term
markets as a byproduct of the attempt
by banks, other financial institutions,
corporations, and households to reconstruct liquidity positions that were
badly depleted during last year's severe
credit shortages.
Expansive monetary policy

Stimulative monetary policy again
prevailed in May as the Federal Eeserve System continued to provide a
liberal supply of reserves to the banking
system. At the end of May, seasonally
adjusted total reserves—the base for
credit expansion—were more than $1
billion higher than at the close of 1966.
With reserves plentiful, member bank
borrowing at Eeserve banks declined to
an average of $100 million, the lowest
level since January 1963. Free reserves
rose sharply in May to $266 million,

their highest level since April 1963; this
indicator of monetary policy is the difference between borrowings and excess
reserves.
Commercial bank credit rose $2.3
billion seasonally adjusted last month,
continuing the strong expansion in
progress since last November. The entire May advance occurred in the
investment component of bank credit.
Since the beginning of the year, commercial bank loans have risen $5.9
billion or 2.8 percent while investments
have increased $9.5 billion or 9.3 percent. This pronounced expansion in the
security holdings of commercial banks
reflects the attempt by banks to rebuild
liquidity and stands in sharp contrast to
the situation last year, when banks sold
securities to accommodate loan demands.
In the wake of easing credit conditions, deposit liabilities of commercial
banks were up sharply. Seasonally adjusted demand deposits rose $1.3 billion
during the month and time deposits
$1.6 billion.

fewer new investment projects in the
opening quarter of 1967 than in any
other period in the past 2 years, and
the carryover of uncompleted investment projects on March 31 showed a
less-than-seasonal rise from the end of
1966. Public utility companies, however,
sharply increased the volume of new
investment starts in the opening quarter
of 1967, and the March 31 carryover of
uncompleted programs was the highest
on record.

quarter, and a further 1 percent increase for the fourth. If these gains are
realized, expenditures would advance to
a record $63.6 billion during the closing
3 months of 1967.
Manufacturing, mining, communication, and nonrail transportation companies expect to spend more in the
second half than in the first. Public
utilities, railroad, and commercial companies expect reductions.

Rise projected for second half

Manufacturers expect to invest $28
billion in new plant and equipment in
1967, an increase of $1 billion, or 3%
percent, over 1966. Both the durable
and the nondurable goods groups plan
to spend about $% billion more in
1967, bringing their outlays to $14%
billion and $13 % billion respectively.
Within the durable goods group, the
largest relative increases in spending
from 1966 to 1967 are projected by the
machinery industries, with both the
electrical and the nonelectrical groups

Expenditures for new plant and
equipment are expected to be $61.5
billion in the second quarter, just below
actual expenditures in the first. A 2
percent rise is projected for the third

expecting to spend about one-seventh
more this year than in 1966. However,
both groups made sizable reductions in
1967 programs from those reported 3
months ago. Expenditures are expected
to rise above current rates in the second
half. Producers of nonautomotive transportation equipment have strengthened
their investment programs substantially
in the past 3 months and are now budgeting a 7-percent rise for the year.
Producers of motor vehicles and stone,
clay, and glass products anticipate
large reductions in outlays from 1966;
expenditures in the second half of 1967
are expected to be lower than in the
first half.
Upward revisions in spending programs since the survey 3 months earlier
were widespread in the soft goods industries and largest among the petroleum and rubber companies. These two
industries and paper, chemical, and
food-beverage firms are all planning
larger outlays for new plant and equipment this year than in 1966. In contrast to the general movement in the
nondurable goods group, paper and
chemical companies are now planning
to spend less in the second half than in
the first. Textile companies, which had
expanded capital expenditures very
sharply in recent years, are planning
substantial cutbacks in 1967.
Carryover and starts
At the end of March, expenditures
yet to be made by manufacturers on
investment projects already underway

totaled $18.8 billion, slightly higher
than in December and about $600 million higher than a year earlier. The rise
in carryover over the past year comprised an increase of $1.2 billion for the
durable goods industries and a decline
of $600 million for the nondurables;
both groups reported small increases in
carryover during the first quarter of
this year.
Carryover was reduced over the year
ending March 31, 1967, for motor
vehicles, stone, clay, and glass, and all
major nondurable goods industries except chemicals. While definitive seasonal adjustment factors are not available, the data suggest that, on a seasonally adjusted basis, declines in
carryover occurred during the first
quarter in all industries except petroleum and paper.
Starts of new projects by manufacturers during the first quarter of 1967
totaled $6.2 billion—$1.8 billion lower
than in the fourth quarter of 1966 and
$700 million lower than a year earlier.
The decline over the year centered in
the durable goods group, with starts by
nondurable goods companies about the
same as a year ago. When rough allowance is made for seasonal differences,
starts declined from the fourth to the
first quarter in nearly all manufacturing
industries.
Less pressure on capacity
The latest survey indicated a lessening of pressures on capacity. Companies
holding 45 percent of total fixed assets
in manufacturing considered their facilities on March 31 to be inadequate
for prospective needs over the next 12
months. This percentage was 6 points
below the figure a year earlier and 2
points below the ratio for December 31.
The decline from a year earlier in the
proportion of capacity considered inadequate was widespread among manufacturing industries. For the durable
goods industries, the latest figure was
45 percent, as against 52 percent at the
end of March 1966. In the nondurable
goods group, the current ratio of 45
percent compares with 49 percent a year
ago, with all component industries
showing a decline except petroleum,
where there was little change.



SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
The proportion of assets held by
firms reporting facilities in excess of
prospective needs was 5 percent—up
from 4 percent a year ago. Producers
accounting for 50 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 45 percent
a year earlier. Both durable and nondurable goods producers reported an
increase in this category over the year.
Nonmanufacturing investment
Nonmanufacturing companies plan to
spend $34.5 billion for construction and

equipment in 1967, 2l/2 percent more
more than in 1966; this compares with
a 14-percent rise from 1965 to 1966.
Expenditures declined in the opening
quarter of this year but are expected
to rise in the remainder of the year.
Nonrail transportation, communication,
and mining companies anticipate that
spending in the second half of this year
will be higher than in the first half; over
the same period, public utilities expect
little change, while railroad and commercial companies project declines.
Nonrail transportation constitutes
one of the strongest spots in the current
investment picture while railroading is
one of the weakest. Within the nonrail

group, airlines have programed the
largest increase in outlays from 1966
to 1967. Pipelines are also projecting
higher expenditures, but trucking and
other transportation firms expect to
cut back their outlays. The substantial
reduction planned by railroads—22 percent—is confined to equipment purchases; outlays on roads are projected
at last year's rates.
Electric utility companies have scheduled a rise in spending of one-sixth
from 1966 to 1967, but gas companies
expect their expenditures to be nearly
10 percent smaller this year than last
and to decline through 1967. Utility
firms as a group reported carryover of

June 1967

uncompleted projects at $13.4 billion
at the end of March—up sharply from
both a year earlier and the end of
December 1966. These firms started
$4.9 billion of new projects in the
opening quarter of this year, up 46
percent from the first 3 months of 1966.
Within the commercial group, current
investment programs show a general
tendency to retrench on expenditures
for new plant and equipment during
1967. Declines from the 1966 total are
programed by trade, service, and construction firms. However, the finance
group is projecting a slight rise for this
year.

Manufacturers' Inventory and Sales Expectations
Second and Third Quarters, 1967
MANUFACTURERS reporting to the
Office of Business Economics in May
expected that in the second and third
quarters of 1967 their sales would rise
appreciably and quarterly inventory
additions would be more moderate
than during 1966 and early 1967. Sales

are expected to rise 1% percent this
quarter and 3 percent the next—after
declining 1 percent in the first 3 months
of this year. Producers anticipate that
their stocks will increase $1% billion
from March 31 to June 30 and an equal
amount from June 30 to September 30.

Inventories rose $1.8 billion in the first
quarter and $2 billion to $3 billion per
quarter from March to December 1966.
The increase in the stock-sales ratio
that began early last year is expected
to continue to mid-1967, rising from 1.6
in March 1966 to 1.8; the ralio would
fall somewhat by September of this
year but would still be higher than
last September.
Manufacturers holding 31 percent of
producers' stocks classified their inventories as "high" on March 31, double
the percentage of a year earlier and up
3 points from December 31. Sixtyeight percent of stocks were considered
"about right/ 7 as compared with 81
percent a year ago; 1 percent was
"low" on March 31, as against 4
percent a year ago.
Sales rise expected
Durable goods producers expect sales
to rise \% percent from the first to the
second quarter and an additional 3K
percent from the second to the third,
after seasonal adjustment. The projected gains are almost double the actual
rise recorded in the second half of last
year. Sales fell 2 percent in the first
quarter of this year, largely because of
curtailed shipments of motor vehicles
and primary metals. Producers of primary metals expect a further decline
this quarter but some pickup in the
next; the transportation equipment
industry anticipates increases in both
quarters.
Nondurable goods producers projected sales gains of about IK percent
for this quarter and 2 percent for the
next, exceeding the actual rise in each
of the three previous quarters. Most of
the soft goods industries expect gains.
It is interesting to note that there
has been a significant shift in the relationship between anticipated and actual
changes in manufacturers' sales. The
data are shown in the table below. In
1965 and the first quarter of 1966,
actual sales consistently rose more than
anticipated in the earliest estimate.
Since the second quarter of 1966, however, the reverse has been true, and the
deviations have become progressively
larger. These sales disappointments
were an important factor in the large
inventory accumulation that occurred

reduced their ratio. Sixty-two percent
of durable goods producers' stocks were
"about right," and 1 percent was
"low."
Among the nondurables, one-fifth of
the stocks were judged "high"—the
largest proportion since mid-1960. This
ratio, like that of the durables, rose
throughout 1966. Paper, chemicals,

1.6

petroleum, and rubber companies reported the largest increase in the
"high" percentage from December 31
to March 31. Almost four-fifths of
nondurable goods producers reported
their stocks "about right." The "lows"
have been falling at about 1 point per
quarter since March 1966 and were 2
percent in March of this year.

in the last three quarters of 1966,
especially late in the year.
Inventory additions below 1966
Durable goods producers expect to
add $800 million to stocks from March
31 to June 30 and $1.1 billion from
June 30 to September 30. These additions would be slightly lower than those
of the first quarter this year and well
below the $2% billion quarterly rate of
the second half of last year. The
primary metals and transportation
equipment industries are expected to
be among the major contributors to
the rise this quarter.
Nondurable goods producers expect
to increase their inventory holdings
from March 31 to June 30 by about
$X billion, a quarterly rate comparable
to the rates of 1966 and thus far in
1967. Third quarter 1967 additions are
projected at $100 million.
If current expectations eventuate,
stock-sales ratios will be lower in
September than in March. For durable
goods, the ratio was 2.23 months of
sales in March and is projected at
2.24 in June and 2.21 in September;
the comparable ratios for nondurables
are 1.33, 1.33, and 1.30.
Inventory condition on March 31
The percentage of durable goods
manufacturers' inventories classified as
"high" rose from 33 on December 31,
1966, to 37 on March 31, 1967. This is
the largest proportion for the "high"
category since March 1958. However,
the rate of increase has slowed to 4
points, as compared with 6 points in
each of the two preceding quarters of
1966. The major increases in the
"high" proportion in March occurred
in the fabricated metals and machinery
industries; primary metals producers

UJS. Residents Spent $4 Billion on Foreign Travel Last Year
JNITED STATES residents traveled
abroad in record numbers last year and
spent over $4 billion, 8 percent more
than in 1965. About $2.7 billion of the
total covered expenses for travel within
foreign countries, and $0.7 billion went
to foreign sea and air carriers for transocean transportation. Another $0.6 billion was paid as fares to U.S. transocean
carriers.
Nearly 3 million U.S. travelers spent
$1.4 billion in countries overseas, while
millions more spent close to $1.3 billion
in the neighboring countries of Canada
and Mexico. As in past years, spending
for oversea travel was concentrated in
Europe and the Mediterranean area,
where U.S. travelers spent $920 million,
6 percent more than in 1965.
Receipts from foreign visitors in the
United States totaled nearly $1.8 billion, including about $0.2 billion paid to
U.S. steamships and airlines for fares to
and from this country. Visitors from
Canada and Mexico spent over $1 billion for travel in the United States, 17
percent more than in the preceding
year, and travelers from oversea countries spent $550 million, 10 percent
more than in 1965.
The balance on travel expenditures,
about $1.6 billion, was practically unchanged from 1965. This balance measures the difference between U.S. travel
expenditues abroad (including U.S. fare
payments to foreign carriers) and U.S.
receipts from foreign visitors (including
receipts by U.S. carriers of fares paid
by foreign visitors).
Estimates for the years-1960-66 have
been revised upward to reflect changes
in the method of computing travel expenditures and receipts involvingMexico. The most significant revision
is an increase in receipts from Mexican




residents visiting the U.S. border zone.
U.S. payments in the Mexican border
zone were also re-estimated at a somewhat higher level, but not enough to
offset the change in receipts. The effect
of the revisions on the years before 1960
is insignificant.

SURVEY OF CUREENT BUSINESS

Travel to Bermuda rose more than
usual, to $41 million, or 17 percent more
than in 1965.
Total expenditures in other oversea
areas rose 10 percent over 1965 as a
15-percent increase in the number of
visitors was partly offset by a decrease
in average spending. About threefourths of all travelers to the Pacific
area visited Japan, spending $62 million
in that country, about 3 percent more
than in 1965. In Hong Kong, which was
visited by about half of all U.S. visitors
in the Pacific, receipts rose 7 percent to
about $30 million.
Cost of European trips lower
A trip to Europe cost U.S. travelers
an average of $1,070 last year, including transocean transportation. The total
was 5 percent lower than the 1965
amount, $1,120, and resulted from declines in both average transocean fare
payments and average outlays in European and Mediterranean countries.
Transatlantic fares cost each U.S.
traveler about $487 last year, $23 less
than the year before, but accounted
for about the same proportion of the
total outlay for the trip. More Americans took advantage of excursion fares

for limited stays, which helped reduce
average spending for air travel to
Europe by 6 percent to $460 in 1966.
In contrast, fewer travelers reached
Europe by sea, but paid about $715
each, 8 percent more than a year ago.
A larger proportion of the sea travelers
appears to have sailed to Mediterranean
ports, a longer voyage than to the
North Atlantic. This probably contributed to the higher average spending of
sea travelers, and could be related to
the competition of low-cost air travel,
which may affect North Atlantic traffic more severely than Mediterranean
traffic.
As in 1965, the popularity of lower
air fares for 14- to 21-day transocean
trips contributed to a declining average
outlay for lodging, food, and other
travel expenses on the continent. The
average duration of the U.S. resident's
European visit was 37 days, 2 less than
in 1965. Per capita spending per day
rose slightly, but the total expenditure
per traveler was reduced from the 1965
average of $611 to $583. Thus, the
reduction in average spending in 1966
can be accounted for almost entirely by
the 2-day reduction in length of stay.
U.S. travelers who were born abroad
characteristically stay for a longer
period in Europe than native-born U.S.
travelers. In 1966, they remained in
Europe an average of 46 days and spent
about $10 per day. On the average, they
visited only two countries in Europe—
one of them being the country in which
they were born. The average nativeborn American spent about $18 per day
during a visit of 34 days and visited
four European countries.
Total outlays within Europe by persons reaching the continent by air were
$554, or 3 percent lower than in 1965.
Air traveleis to Europe tend to make
shorter trips than sea travelers and to
spend more per day, but less per trip.
Part of the reason for the shorter visits
is the continued availability of lower air
fares when the length of stay is between
14 and 21 days. Sea travelers spent
about $815 in Europe last year.
Rise in U.S. oversea travelers
An increase of 13 percent raised the
total number of U.S. travelers who

June 1967

visited oversea areas in 1966 to 2,975,000. The number of sea travelers, at
aboub 220,000, was 7 percent lower than
in 1965, but the number of air travelers,
at 2,755,000, was 15 percent higher.
Last year, 93 percent of all U.S.
travelers crossed the oceans by air, as
compared with 91 percent the year
before.
Travel on cruise ships (not included
in the total number of travelers given
above) dropped from about 333,000 in
1965 to about 280,000 last year. The
decrease in cruise travel was concentrated among the foreign-flag carriers,
who nevertheless carried about 85 percent
of all U.S. cruise passengers. U.S.-flag

amount includes about $38 million in
expenditures by Canadians on 1-day
visits, in which they enter and leave
the United States in the course of the
same day.
About 12 percent more travelers from
overseas visited the United States than
in 1965. The total of 1,360,000 spent
about $550 million in this country, in
addition to the $195 million they paid
to U.S. transocean carriers. The growth
of pleasure travel kept pace with increases in business travel, but total
travel receipts from oversea visitors
rose relatively less than the volume
of visitors.
About 660,000 foreign visitors arrived
here from Europe and the Mediterranean area, over one-third of them from
the United Kingdom. Europeans spent
about $215 million here last year, $10
million more than a year ago. British
visitors, however, spent less than in
1965, despite an increase of nearly
30,000 in their number. The decline in
average outlays of British visitors may
have been partly the result of currency
restrictions, instituted by the United
Kingdom in the last half of the year;
these restrictions limited British travelers to about $140 in U.S. currency
for a trip.
Visitors from South and Central
America and the West Indies spent
$226 million while on visits in the
United States last year. Of the 517,000
travelers from the area, about 82 percent came on pleasure trips. Business
visits, however, recorded a 20-percent
rise over 1965, reaching 30,000.
About 185,000 visitors came from
other oversea areas and spent $110
million here last year. Those from
Japan, about 50,000 visitors, spent
nearly $35 million. Average outlays of
Japanese visitors are relatively large,
partly because a large proportion (very
close to one-half) come for business
purposes.

Balance of Payments Division of OBE
and the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco. In addition, helpful consultations were held with Mexican Government officials in Mexico City.

cruise ships carried almost 5,000 more
passengers than in 1965, and the proportion of total cruise passengers carried
in U.S. ships increased to 14 percent
from only 10 percent in 1965.
Record

Outlays by Foreign
Visitors Here
U.S. receipts from foreign visitors
reached $1.8 billion last year. This
record total includes close to $200
million paid by visitors from overseas
to U.S. sea and air carriers for transocean transportation. Canadian and
Mexican visitors accounted for about
65 percent of the nearly $1.6 billion in
outlays for travel within the United
States.
Revised estimates of spending by
Mexican travelers in this country put
the total at about $435 million for 1966
and $390 million for 1965. The original
estimates were $275 million for 1966
and $265 million for 1965. The difference between the original and the revised estimates lies in receipts in the
border area, which have been recalculated using improved procedures. (See
technical note.)
Canadians spent about $585 million
last year for travel in the United States.
About 60 percent of the total, or $340
million, represents outlays by Canadians traveling by automobile. This

The Balance oi Payments
in the First Quarter of 1967

"UR1NG the first quarter, several of
the major categories of U.S. international transactions were affected by
developments that resulted in significant changes in either amounts or the
direction of movement. However, in
the aggregate, the effects of these
changes on the balance measured on
the liquidity basis were largely offsetting. As chart 8 indicates, this is not
unusual. Experience over many years
has shown that cyclical fluctuations in
the balance on goods and services and
in the balance on capital flows (other
than liquid funds) have frequently been
in opposite directions and have been
much larger than fluctuations in the
liquidity balance. In contrast to the
relatively small change in the liquidity
balance, the balance measured on the
official reserve transactions basis deteriorated by an exceptionally large
amount in the first quarter.
Major changes
The following major developments in
the first quarter, adjusted for seasonal
variations, affected both balances:
1. The long expansion in merchandise
imports, which lasted about 4 years
and which greatly accelerated during
the last 2 years, was interrupted, while
nonmilitary merchandise exports increased more rapidly than in previous
quarters. The balance on nonmilitary
merchandise trade rose $280 million
from the fourth quarter to reach $1
billion. This rise was the first major
reversal of a downward movement of
the trade balance, which had lasted
about 3 years, except for the period of
the shipping strike at the beginning
of 1965.



3. Government grants (excluding military) and Government capital outflows
net of scheduled loan repayments and
of changes in liabilities other than
marketable or convertible securities
increased about $250 million from the
preceding quarter. Some of the increase
was related to the rise in exports of
goods and services.
4. The movement of U.S. private
capital and of foreign capital (excluding
foreign holdings of liquid assets and of
time deposits and time deposit certificates with an original maturity of 1

2. The gain in the balance on nonmilitary trade was augmented by an
extraordinary increase of about $130
million in deliveries under military sales
contracts, a rise that substantially exceeded the $70 million increase in military expenditures abroad. Net receipts
of investment income, however, were
lower. Consequently, the first quarter
balance on all transactions in goods and
services excluding exports under military grants rose about $250 million,
only $30 million less than the balance
on nonmilitary merchandise trade alone.

seasonally adjusted balance of about
$420 million in the preceding quarter
and $650 million in the first quarter
of 1966.
The balance measured on the official
reserve transactions basis—which reflects the changes in U.S. official reserve
assets and in liquid and nonliquid liabilities to foreign official agencies only—
was adverse by $1,279 million in the
first quarter. Seasonally adjusted, the
adverse balance was about $1,820 million. This compares with adverse balances of about $20 million in the
preceding quarter and $440 million in
the first quarter of last year. The
extraordinarily large deterioration in
the first quarter reflects shifts of liquid
liabilities from foreign private accounts
(including accounts of foreign private
banks and foreign branches of U.S.
banks) to foreign official accounts.
These shifts partly reversed last year's
movements of liquid dollar liabilities
from foreign official to foreign private
accounts.
In 1966, liquid dollar liabilities to
foreign private accounts increased about
$2.9 billion, with more than $900
million (after seasonal adjustment)
occurring in the last quarter of the year.
In the first quarter of 1967, such
liabilities declined by nearly the same
amount (after seasonal adjustment),

approximately equals the deterioration
in the balance measured on the official
reserve transactions basis over that
period. In 1966, when foreign funds
shifted from official to private accounts,
this balance improved from a 1965
deficit of $1.3 billion to a surplus of
$225 million.
The movement of liquid dollar liabilities from foreign official to foreign
private accounts and then back again
reflected two major developments: (1)
the deterioration and subsequent improvement in the balance of payments
of the United Kingdom, together with
related changes in the confidence in the
British currency and (2) the changes in
credit demand and monetary policies
in the United States. Last summer
and early fall, these policies led U.S.
banks to intensify their efforts to attract
dollar deposits through their foreign
branches, but the changed conditions
later in the year and particularly in
the first quarter permitted a substantial
reduction in such efforts.
Although the first quarter data for
the official reserve transactions balance
suggest a sharp deterioration in the U.S.
balance of payments, the flow of dollars
back to United Kingdom reserves did
not weaken our international financial
position. It was a beneficial development for us as well as for the United
Kingdom, because it strengthened confidence in the international monetary
system. The dollars flowing back into
official United Kingdom reserves enabled the British authorities to repurchase from us sterling that we had
previously acquired under swap agreements with them.
These swap agreements—which now
include $4.5 billion of mutual credit
lines between the U.S. Federal Reserve
System and foreign monetary authoriities—were set up to provide a defense
'against international currency speculation. By increasing the resources of the
authorities to meet the demands on
their reserves, these credit lines discourage speculation and thus reduce the
danger of dissipation of official reserves,
including dollar holdings by foreign
official agencies, through transfers to
private holders for speculative purposes.
Such dollar transfers from foreign official
to foreign private holders are considered



19

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
undesirable even though, by definition,
they appear as an improvement of the
official reserve transactions balance. By
early March 1967, all outstanding drawings on the Federal Reserve swap network—both by foreign authorities and
by the Federal Reserve—were repaid,
and the $4.5 billion of credit lines were
restored to a standby basis.
Goods and Services
First quarter transactions reflected
the slowdown in domestic business
activity to some extent, but the full
effect of this slowdown may be felt in
subsequent periods. Transactions were
also affected by the decline in the rate
of business expansion abroad, a development already in evidence during much
of 1966 but intensified in early 1967.
Merchandise imports

Domestic business developments had
a major effect on merchandise imports.
Purchases of foreign industrial materials
continued to decline moderately, as they
had in the preceding quarter. The first
!£$'•"'?•)-'/ '^ ' >->

quarter decline was most pronounced
in steel and other metals; imports of
most other materials were not adversely
affected. Most of the first quarter decline in imports of metals other than
steel may be attributed to an increase
in Government stockpile releases, particularly copper. However, this increase
followed a sharp drop in the preceding
quarter.
Imports of machinery stabilized in
the first quarter, interrupting a pronounced upward movement that began
in 1964. Machinery imports probably
reflect orders placed several months
earlier, when the domestic supply
situation for capital equipment was
much tighter. The recent shortening
of delivery schedules for domestically
produced equipment may result in a
decline in such imports in subsequent
quarters.
Imports of automotive equipment
remained stable from the fourth to
the first quarter and were about $180
million above the first quarter 1966
imports. All of this increase came from
Canada and reflects the effects of the

Increases in Government liabilities
associated with military transactions
were about $100 million in the first
quarter, as compared with more than
$200 million in the preceding quarter.
These liabilities are increased by receipts of advance payments from foreign
countries—including funds they had
obtained through U.S. Government
loans. Such receipts were about the
same as in the previous quarter. Liabilities are reduced by deliveries of goods
and services by U.S. military agencies.
As was stated earlier, deliveries were
about $100 million higher than in the
previous quarter.

nearly $7 billion to their security holdings, after seasonal adjustment.
Long-term claims on foreigners continued to be liquidated by U.S. banks
as they received substantial repayments
on the large volume of long-term loans
that had been made in the latter part
of 1964 and early in 1965 and as new
long-term lending was discouraged by
the Interest Equalization Tax.
Short-term claims reported by U.S.
banks continued to increase in the first
quarter, but by less than the decline
in long-term claims. The increase was
primarily in claims on Mexico and to a
lesser extent in those on Japan.
At the end of March, foreign assets
of commercial banks were $365 million
below the interim ceiling for that date
established by the Federal Reserve
Board under the voluntary program to
restrain capital outflows. During the
last three quarters of 1967, the ceiling
will rise $763 million.
U.S. corporate capital outflows—
including direct and other investments—declined from about $1,050
million in the fourth quarter of last
year to $840 million in the first quarter
of this year, after adjustment for
seasonal variations. (The seasonal adjustment for direct investment capital
outflows was changed in the first
quarter of 1967 from that used in the
corresponding quarter in earlier years,
to reflect a $300 million shift in tax
payments by U.S. oil companies to
Libya from the second quarter to the
first. The opposite adjustment will be
made in the second quarter.) Borrowing
abroad through bond issues by domestic

subsidiaries of U.S. corporations specially organized to finance direct investments abroad increased from $85 million
to about $90 million (table B). Other
corporate borrowing from foreigners,
which was about $130 million in the
fourth quarter, rose to about $175
million. The net outflow of corporate
funds in the first quarter, therefore, was
about $570 million, as compared with
$830 million in the preceding quarter
and a quarterly average of about $710
million in 1966.
Capital outflows for direct investments declined $230 million, after
seasonal adjustment. More than half of
this decline was due to the first quarter
reversal of a temporary outflow of
capital to a Canadian affiliate in the
preceding quarter. Capital outflows to
Europe also declined substantially, but
this was from an exceptionally large
amount. In fact, the funds transferred
late last year were probably not utilized
at that time, and thus the need for
additional U.S. capital outflows was reduced early this year.
The slowdown in foreign business expansion has dampened this year's increase in projected plant and equipment
expenditures by foreign affiliates of U.S.
corporations. This was indicated by
last December's survey of anticipated
expenditures in 1967, the results of
which were published in the May
1967 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
With some unutilized funds available
from the large capital outflows late
last year and from borrowing abroad by
U.S. corporations, the relatively small

The interruption in the expansion of
domestic business activity eased conditions in domestic capital and money
markets substantially. This change contributed to the $100 million rise in U.S.
purchases of newly issued foreign securities in the first quarter. Most of the
increase was in Canadian issues, some
of which may have been postponed
when capital markets were still tight.
Therefore, the first quarter amount may
have included a temporary bulge in
such transactions. The purchases also
included nearly $40 million of bonds
issued by the Inter-American Development Bank.
Net liquidations of outstanding
foreign securities—which started in the
middle of 1963, at the time the Interest
Equalization Tax became effective—
reached more than $150 million in the
third quarter of 1966, but declined
sharply in the fourth quarter and

Consists mainly of exports of military equipment under Defense Department sales contracts with foreign governments to the extent that such exports are included in the Census
data. Also includes exports of domestically owned goods into storage abroad (e.g., U.S. grain
stored in Canada); exports to the Panama Canal Zone; and exports of exposed motion 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 remittance in kind (gift parcels sent through the mail); and transfers, financed under nonmilitary aid programs, of goods to recipient countries from Defense Department stocks located
abroad.

Includes valuation adjustments for goods considered to be underpriced or overpriced in
Census data; timing adjustments for goods recorded in the Census data in one reriod but
known to have been shipped in another period; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments are omitted from the Census data.

Reflects revisions m ade by the Bureau of the Census to correct for distortions in the monthly
import totals originally reported for July to December 1965. These distortions were caused by
large irregularities in the monthly flow of documents transmitted by Customs to the Census
Bureau after the close-out date for processing a given month's statistics. The accompanying
commodity detail, lines 16-36, incorporate the Census Bureau's revisions and, in addition,
the special adjustments represented in line 14.
8
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.

rise projected for 1967 investments may
be financed without an increase in the
outflow of U.S. capital. This is in line
with the estimates submitted to the
Secretary of Commerce by corporations
cooperating in the voluntary program
to improve the balance of payments.
On the basis of these considerations it
would appear that the seasonally adjusted first quarter rate of net capital
outflows for direct investments may
have been temporarily depressed.
Summary

The effects of temporary factors on
goods and services transactions and
Government grants and capital transactions, on balance, may have canceled
out in the first quarter. However, the
first quarter bulge in net capital outflows through security transactions was
probably more than compensated for

temporary dip in the net outflow of

Line 9. Total U.S. receipts from Mexican visitors in the U.S. border zone

adjustments are also made at this time,
such as the adjustment for American
citizens living and working in Mexico

Methods of estimating interior travel




expenditures on both sides remain essentially unchanged. However, on the payments side, revisions have been made in
the basic "traffic" figures to interior
Mexico in the light of information provided by the Mexican Government.
The result of the revisions is to raise our
estimates of U.S. travel outlays in
interior Mexico somewhat.
It may be noted that, through the
Federal Reserve System, U.S. banks in

the border zone have for many years
reported their receipts of dollar currency from correspondent banks on the
Mexican side of the border. These
figures represent the total net payments
of U.S. currency in the border zone of
Mexico. They are equal to the difference
between dollar receipts and dollar sales
of Mexican banks in the border zone, as
reported to the Mexican Government
(line 1 minus 5).

FOOTNOTE FOR RAW STEEL, P. S-32.
AEffective Jan. 1967, the term raw steel has been substituted for ingots and steel for castings;
raw steel is denned as steel in the first solid state after melting, suitable for further processing
or sale, including ingots, steel castings, and continuous- or pressure-cast blooms, billets,
slabs, or other product forms. Current data for raw steel are comparable with the ingots
series.
