the BUSINESS SITUATION
EVIDENCE for April and May suggests that economic activity is expanding a little in this quarter.
Increases occurred in industrial production and employment in nonfarm
establishments, and the growth of
personal income accelerated.
The industrial production index increased an average 0.4 percent per
month, reversing the average 0.5 percent decline in the first 3 months.
Virtually all broad market categories
contributed to this increase, with
automobiles and equipment showing
the strongest gains.
As a result of a rebound in auto production, consumer goods output rose
an average 0.6 percent. The increase
in auto output averaged 8.1 percent,
in contrast to the average monthly
decline of 6.2 percent in the first
quarter. Total equipment production
increased an average 0.7 percent, after
remaining essentially unchanged in the
first quarter. Business equipment production rose at an average rate of 0.6
percent—double the first-quarter rate.
Commercial and transit equipment
production was unchanged; thus the
rise reflected output gains in the industrial categories. Defense equipment
production, which is highly volatile,
increased an average of 1 percent,
following an average decline of 0.8
percent in the first quarter. Materials
production also turned around; the 0.2
percent average monthly gain compares
with a decline of 0.6 percent per month
in the first quarter. This improvement
was confined to durable goods.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased an average 150,000 per month—
a modest gain, but more than double the
rate in the first quarter. The improvement was mainly in manufacturing.
It chiefly reflected the recovery in the
automobile industry and a strengthening in rubber and plastics industries




that resulted from the improved supply
of petro-chemicals. Employment was
little changed in other manufacturing
industries. Trade employment increased
somewhat more than in the first quarter,
and the rate of expansion in finance,
services, and government continued
about the same, but construction employment declined sharply. The average
workweek in manufacturing was about
the same in May as in the first quarter,
remaining much below last year's levels.
As measured in the household survey,
total employment has changed very
little since the beginning of the year.
Although nonfarm employment rose
moderately, after remaining unchanged
in the first quarter, the rise was offset
by a decline in farm employment. The
civilian labor force held at the firstquarter level, and unemployment remained steady, at about 5.2 percent.
In April and May, personal income
increased sharply in contrast to the
small increase in the first quarter. Total
income rose by an average of $9.8 billion
per month, more than doubling the
average monthly increase of $4.1 billion
in the first quarter. The sharp increase
was almost entirely attributable to
wages and salaries, but it also reflected
the 7 percent increase in social security
benefits that went into effect in April.
In the first quarter, reductions in employment and in average weekly hours
worked led to a decline in manufacturing payrolls of about $0.4 billion per
month. Employment increased in both
April and May and average hourly
earnings jumped sharply in May. As
a result, payrolls grew by an average
of $2.5 billion per month. Payrolls in
the rest of the private sector also improved substantially in April and May.
The sharp increases in average hourly
earnings, which contributed to higher
payrolls, were partially attributable to
large cost-of-living increases in some

industries (see "wages under collectivebargaining")- Other factors contributing to higher payrolls were increases in
the number of workers covered by the
Federal minimum wage law and in the
minimum wage rate.
Wholesale food prices have been
declining in recent months, but prices
of other commodities have continued
to rise sharply. The wholesale price
index for farm products and processed foods and feeds declined an
average 2.3 percent per month in
April and May, compared with an
average monthly increase of 0.9 percent
in the first quarter. Prices of industrial
commodities rose an average 2.8 percent, compared with an average 2.3
percent per month in the first quarter.
In part, these increases reflected the
selective lifting of price controls in
February and March and the ending
of all controls at the end of April.
The most important increases occurred
in the metals industries, where demands have been strong and where
many plants have been operating at
or near capacity for over a year.
Increases in prices of fuels and power,
which were very steep last fall and
winter, decelerated from the firstquarter rate.
In May, the fuels component of the
industrials index was revised to measure
a larger part of the petroleum market.
Before the revision, this component
was based on spot market quotations,
which, in recent months, have come to
represent a small and declining portion
of domestic transactions; the component is now based on industry
revenue and production figures. The
effect of the revision is to lower both
the level and the rate of increase of
the fuels price index.
In the consumer price index, food
prices declined 0.4 percent in April
(the latest month for which data are
1

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
available) after rising 1.5 percent per
month in the first quarter. Most of
this decline was concentrated in meat
prices. Prices for nonfood commodities

rose 1.1 percent in April, a little below
the first-quarter average. The services
index increased 0.6 percent, also about
the same as in the first quarter.

Current Housing Developments
LATE last year and early this year, an
easing in money and credit markets
gave rise to the expectation that residential construction would begin to
recover this spring and contribute sig-

nificantly to demand expansion in the
second half of the year. However, the
sudden surge in interest rates since last
February has set back the prospects
for such a recovery and made the outlook uncertain.
High interest rates are once again
leading savers to divert funds from the
thrift institutions. In April, savings
before interest crediting declined $650
million at mutual savings banks and
$335 million as savings and loan associations. Preliminary May data indicate a further decline of nearly $200
million at mutual savings banks. These
outflows were the first since the height
of the credit stringency last summer
and followed an $8.2 billion increase
in deposits from December to March.
With savings flows threatened, thrift
institutions have become reluctant to
make new mortgage commitments, and
this has contributed to the rise in mortgage interest rates. From February to
May, the yield on FHA new home mortgages increased 92 basis points to a
record 9.46 percent.
The availability of mortgage credit,
particularly that extended to builders
of multifamily units, is also threatened
by serious financial problems currently
facing real estate investment trusts.
The REIT's raise funds by sales of
stock and by credit market borrowings
and relend to developers and builders
of large projects; in the past few years

June 1974

REIT's have become an important
source of construction loans, accounting
last year for about one-fifth of mortgage
lending for multiunit housing. In the
past several months, builders, facing
steeply rising financing and construction costs and prolonged weakness in
the housing market, have been defaulting on their debt to the REIT's.
Rising defaults have weakened the
financial position of the REIT's and,
as a result, they are cutting back on new
lending.
Housing activity

Housing starts averaged L54 million
units at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate in April and May, a little below the
average of 1.63 million units for the
first quarter and one-third below the
highs of early 1973. Sales of new onefamily homes increased in the first
quarter for the first time in more than
a year, in part because of the temporarily easing of credit conditions (table
1). As a result, the ratio of homes for
sale to homes sold fell a little, the first
decline in 3 years, and the very large
inventory of unsold homes appeared to
be less of a deterrent to new singlefamily starts. However, tight money
conditions will have an adverse impact
on sales and the overhang of unsold
homes will present a serious obstacle
to a starts recovery.
In the rental market, the national
vacancy rate rose to 6.2 percent in the
first quarter, from 5.8 percent last year
(table 1). The rise was sharpest in the
South, where homebuilding has been
strongest in recent years. The vacancy
rate will probably increase further as
the very large number of units in
apartment-type buildings are corn-

pleted. The backlog of uncompleted
units was 880,000 units in the first
quarter, down only moderately from
the peak of 975,000 in the summer of
last year. Further evidence of slack in
the rental market is provided by the
market absorption rate of apartments
in newly constructed buildings. The
percentage of apartments completed in
the fourth quarter and rented within
the next 3 months fell below the yearearlier rate. This was the first year-overyear decline since the summer of 1972,
but its extent was small.
New Federal assistance
In early May, the administration
announced a series of programs intended to support the housing market:
The Federal Home Loan Banks were
authorized to make $4 billion in
advances to the savings and loan
associations at relatively low interest
rates; the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation was authorized to buy $3
billion of conventional mortgages at
8.75 percent; and, the "Tandem" plan,
which provides a secondary market for
federally backed mortgages, was expanded by $3.3 billion. In total, these
programs could provide $10.3 billion
for housing, but the actual extent of
support will be determined by the use
lending institutions and builders make
of them.
Of the three programs, the FHLB
advances are the most likely to be used.
However, the S&L's already owe a
record $16 billion to the Federal Home
Loan Bank System, and they may be
reluctant to increase their indebtedness
by the full $4 billion. Moreover, even
the funds that are borrowed could be
invested in higher yielding money
market assets rather than mortgages.
The FHLMC support of conventional
mortgages will not take effect until
late this year, and the extent to which
these funds will be used will depend on
the level of mortgage market interest
rates at that time. There probably will
not be much help this year from the
new expansion of the 'Tandem" plan.
About $4 billion of the $6.6 billion
expansion authorized last January has
not been used, and those funds must
be spent before the new authorization
becomes effective.

NOTE.—Quarterly figures are based on seasonally adjusted

During the past year, net consumer
credit extensions largely reflected the
movements in automobile sales. Not
until the first quarter of this year,
after unemployment had risen sharply,

did the drop in credit extensions spread
to other types of loans.
Extensions amounted to 17.6 percent
of disposable personal income in the
first quarter, down from the record 19.1
percent in the summer of last year.
Repayments, however, amounted to a
record 16.7 percent of income, the same
as last summer. Faced with this high
debt repayment ratio, rising unemployment, and steep increases in prices of
necessities, consumers have encountered
greater difficulty in meeting their debt
obligations, and delinquencies have increased. According to data compiled by
the American Bankers Association, the
proportion of bank installment loans
with payments overdue for 30 days or
more reached about 2% percent of loans
outstanding in the first 4 months of this
year. Normally, this rate is about 1%
percent, and it has rarely exceeded 2
percent.

Wages Under Collective Bargaining
UNION contract negotiations in the
first quarter of this year reflected union
efforts to mitigate the adverse impact
that inflation is having on workers' real
income. Contract settlements included
higher first-year wage increases and
lower deferred increases, bigger wage
gains and smaller fringe benefits improvements, and, in a number of important contracts, liberalized formulas for
calculating cost-of-living adjustments.
The first-year wage gain negotiated
in major collective bargaining agreements (those covering 1,000 or more
workers) averaged 6.2 percent in the
first quarter, compared with 5.8 percent
for the year 1973 (table 3). It was the
largest quarterly increase in more than
a year, and the first to exceed the average of the preceding four quarters since
late 1971—the beginning of the steep
downtrend in the size of settlements.
The increase was higher than last year's
average in both manufacturing and
nonmanuf acturing industries other than
construction, and equal to last year's
average in construction.
The increase in the size of first-year
wage settlements represented a rise in




front loading—that is, providing for a
disproportionate share of the total
increase in the first contract year. Deferred increases—those specified for
future years—were smaller than in
1973, but the size of wage settlements
averaged over the life of the contract,
at 5.3 percent per year, was about the
same. The difference between the firstyear wage increase and the average over
the life of the contract amounted to
nearly 1 percent, up from roughly onehalf of one percent in 1973.
Front loading had reached a peak in
1970 and 1971, when first-year increases exceeded life-of-contract gains
by 3 to 3% percentage points. Heavy
front loading reflected union efforts to
catch up with the rapid and unexpected price increases that had
Recurred during the life of the expiring
contracts, most of which were negotiated in 1967 and 1968. After 1971, the
n^ed for such raises lessened, because
the rate of inflation slowed and because
substantially more workers were
covered by cost-of-living clauses providing automatic pay raises tied to the
consumer price index. In addition, wage

June 1974

controls introduced in mid-1971 principally affected first-year increases.
When prices rise rapidly, unions
attach greater importance to increased
paychecks than to fringe benefits, such
as vacations, sick leave, and health and
pension plans; this was evident in firstquarter settlements. In 1972 and 1973,
the value of settlements including
benefits exceeded that of settlements
excluding benefits by about 1.3 percentage points for first-year increases
and 1 percentage point for life-of-contract increases. In the first quarter of
1974, however, these differences were
appreciably less (table 3).
Changes in the value of fringe benefits
cannot be measured directly, mainly
because in the available data they are
combined with wage changes. In addition, data relating to fringe benefits are
confined to collective bargaining settlements covering 5,000 or more workers.
Nevertheless, for a rough indication of
the trend in fringe benefits, contract
settlements combining wages and benefits can be compared with those covering wages alone.
Improvements in cost-of-living escalator clauses were an important element
of first-quarter negotiations. In several
large contracts, the formulas were
changed to provide a larger increase in
wages for a given increase in the consumer price index. In many cases,
limits to the size of cost-of-living increases were removed. However, the
number of workers covered by cost-ofliving escalator clauses remained at
about the 4 million level of the past 3
years, or 40 percent of all workers
under major contracts. Unions in the
can and aluminum industries, in addition to gaining substantial improvements in their cost-of-living escalator
clauses, negotiated a major innovation
for industrial contracts by extending
these clauses to cover pensions.
The steel contract settlement

The steel industry's contract settlement was announced in mid-April, 3K
months before the existing contract
expired. The new contract, which took
effect on May 1, extends 39 months
through July 31, 1977. Settlement
was negotiated under the provisions

Collective bargaining
mainder of 1974

in the re-

The number of workers covered by
contracts scheduled for negotiations in
1974 is the largest in recent years. Approximately 5.2 million workers in
private nonfarm industries are covered
by major agreements either expiring or
scheduled for reopening in 1974; this
figure compares with 4.7 million last
year, 2.8 million in 1972, and 4.8 million
in 1971. Agreements reached in the first
quarter covered only 466,000 workers—
less than 10 percent of the year's expected total—in 118 settlements.
The most important industries and
the number of workers involved in negotiations during the remaining three
quarters of 1974 are: clothing in May
(125,000), construction from May to
September (800,000), telephone communications in July (600,000), nonferrous metals from June to December
(115,000), longshoring in September
(38,000), aircraft in September and
October (78,000), coal mining in November (80,000), and railroads in December (500,000).
The large number of workers involved
in negotiations this year is partly due
to the expiration of major 3-year contracts—the normal duration—settled in
the heavy bargaining year of 1971. It is
also due to a trend toward shorter contracts in recent years. Agreements
reached in 1973 averaged 28 months in
length, compared with 32 months at
the time of their previous settlement.
The shortening was principally in the
construction and railroad industries,
where unions became unwilling to make
long-term commitments under a wage
control system that they thought might
last for only a brief period.
The climate for collective bargaining
for the rest of this year is notably
different from that of the past 3 years.
Since wage and price controls expired
on April 30, no official restraints on the
size of contract settlements exist for
the first time in 3 years. This termination of controls, combined with the
erosion of workers' real incomes by
inflation, could result in much larger
wage demands. However, several factors
may hold down the size of settlements.
First, since the unions involved in some

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
of the negotiations, notably in the
communications industry, already have
cost-of-living escalator clauses, they
are likely to settle for moderate wage
increases. Second, settlements in the
construction industry may be tempered
by the slack in homebuilding. Third,
high unemployment could also affect the
size of wage increases in the aircraft
industry; in addition, increases for
aircraft workers tend to follow patterns
set in the automobile industry, where
the increases negotiated last fall were
relatively moderate.
Union leaders who will be negotiating
new contracts during the rest of this
year have stated that improvements in
cost-of-living protection, both to extend coverage and to liberalize existing
terms, will be a major goal in bargaining. Roughly two-thirds of the workers
whose contracts are to be negotiated
in the final quarters of 1974 are not
covered by cost-of-living escalator
clauses.
Effective wage increases under union
contracts in 1973

The size of wage increases currently
negotiated is one of three determinants
of the total wage increase received by
union workers in a given year. The
others are deferred increases—those
specified for the current year by agreements made in prior years—and automatic cost-of-living increases resulting
from escalator clauses in existing contracts (table 4).
These wage increases may be calculated in two ways: (1) as an average
for all of the workers covered by major
contracts, including the workers who
received no increases, or (2) as an average limited to those who received increases. The first type of average shows
the effect of union bargaining activity
as a whole on the average wage of all
union members. Figures of this type
appear in the top half of table 4. The
second type of average measures the
effect of settlements on only the workers
covered by the settlements. Figures for
this group are shown in the lower half
of the table.
In 1973, the change for all workers
covered by major union agreements in
force was 7 percent, compared with 6.6
percent in 1972 and 9.2 percent in 1971.

Since each of the three types of wage
increase is calculated as a percentage
of the same initial total wage bill, the
three elements can be added together
to obtain the total wage increase becoming effective during the year. In 1973,
for instance, the 7 percent total increase
was made up of first-year increases of 3
percent, deferred increases of 2.7 percent, and cost-of-living increases of 1.3
percent.
In this calculation, the average size of
each of the three types of wage increase
depends on the number of workers who
received the increase, as well as on the
size of the increase they received. Since
many more workers were covered by
contract negotiations in 1973 than in
1972, the first-year wage gain was much
larger and the deferred increases were
much smaller. The total of first-year
and deferred increases was a little
smaller in 1973, and the rise in the total
effective wage increase from 1972 was
therefore attributable to the sharply
higher cost-of-living adjustment.
In the second method, which is the
more familiar way of presenting wage
increases, each of the three types of
increase is calculated as a percentage of
the total wage bill of only those workers
who received the increase (workers who
received two types of increases are
counted in both categories). Hence, a
total percentage wage increase broken
down into its three components cannot
readily be calculated on the basis of the

available data. Because workers not
receiving an increase are omitted from
these calculations, the averages are
necessarily much larger than those for
all union workers. On this basis, both
first-year and deferred increases were
smaller in 1973 than in 1972, but the
increase due to cost-of-living escalator
clauses was twice that of 1972.
Since deferred increases are specified
in contracts already in effect, the
average for this type of increase is the
one element of the total effective wage
change that can be calculated in advance. Deferred wage increases are
scheduled this year for some 4% million
workers covered under major contracts;
this is about the same number as last
year. For these workers, the average
size of the increase will be 5.0 percent,
or about the same as in 1973. The size
of deferred increases, like that of firstyear gains, has diminished since 1971;
in that year, they averaged a record
7.8 percent (table 4). About 2 million
of the workers receiving deferred increases this year are also covered by
cost-of-living escalator clauses; for these
the average deferred increase will be
4.5 percent, while for workers under
contracts without such clauses the
average will be 5.4 percent.
While the size of the cost-of-living
wage increase this year cannot be
calculated in advance, the rise that
will be associated with a given increase
in the consumer price index can be

approximated from relationships in the
past 4 years. In each of those years,
the average cost-of-living wage increase for workers receiving an increase
was roughly two-thirds of the rise in

the annual average of the consumer
price index (table 4). The ratio this
year could be a little higher, given the
recent liberalization of the escalation

Revised Estimates of Federal Budget
REVISED estimates of Federal unified budget receipts and outlays were
released in mid-May by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). The
new estimates must be considered tentative, largely because congressional
action had not been completed on the
fiscal 1975 appropriation bills or on
significant items of proposed legislation
affecting the budget.
The revised estimates are based on
a projected calendar 1974 GNP of
$1,401 billion, $11 billion above the
figure underlying the February budget.
Personal income is estimated at $1,142
billion, up $7 billion, and corporate
profits before taxes are now estimated
at $134 billion, compared to $124 billion
projected in February.
Higher fiscal 1975 deficit estimated
For fiscal 1975, an $11.4 billion deficit
is now estimated, compared to $9.4
billion in February.
Receipts are revised down $1.0 billion, the net result of a $3.5 billion
downward revision in corporate tax
collections and a $2.5 billion upward
revision in other taxes, primarily individual income taxes. The lower corporate tax estimates are due to two
factors of approximately equal magnitude: (1) the House Ways and Means
Committee's modification of the administration's proposed windfall profits
tax, and (2) actual tax collection experience this year. (The Committee's action phasing out the percentage oil
depletion allowance has a negligible
effect on fiscal 1975 collections.) The
increased estimate of individual income
taxes is primarily due to higher inflation.
Fiscal 1975 outlays are estimated
$1 billion higher than in February. Increases attributable to higher unemployment benefits ($1.6 billion), interest
costs ($1.0 billion), and veterans compensation ($0.4 billion) more than

tions for social insurance ($1.2 billion).
(The OMB estimates of fiscal 1974 and
1975 corporate tax liabilities—$51.1
billion and $51.9 billion, respectively—
extrapolate from currently published
BE A levels; however, based on preliminary calculations for the forthcoming July revision of the NIA, it is
likely that current levels of corporate
tax liabilities will be revised downward
substantially.) On the expenditures side,
the upward revision occurs in transfer
payments to persons ($2.3 billion) and
grants-in-aid to State and local governments ($1.4 billion). Other NIA categories show only minor changes and,
on balance, do not affect the revision in
total expenditures.
For fiscal 1974, NIA receipts are
$2.3 billion lower than those in the
February estimate, expenditures are
$6.4 billion lower, and the deficit is
$4.1 billion lower. Almost all NIA expenditure categories—purchases, transfers, grants, and interest—are revised
down. (About $2 billion of the downward revision in expenditures is attributable to a different statistical treatment

of the February transfer of rupees to
India. In the February budget estimates, it was included in NIA expenditures as a foreign transfer; in the May
estimates, it is excluded from NIA
expenditures as a capital grant.)

June 1974

On a full-employment NIA basis, the
Council of Economic Advisers estimates
a surplus of $12.9 billion in 1975 and
$13.2 billion in 1974. In February, the
Council had estimated $13.3 billion
and $5.8 billion, respectively.

Public and Private Debt-1968-73
NET public and private debt totaled
more than $2% trillion at the end of
1973. Public debt—liabilities of Federal, State, and local governments—
amounted to 23% percent of the total;
corporations were liable for 44 percent,
and individuals, including those owning
unincorporated enterprises, were liable
for 32% percent.
The increase in net public and private
debt last year was $256 billion, or 11 %
percent—more than the $224 billion,
or 11 percent, increase in 1972. The
acceleration centered in corporate and
in public debt; individuals added about

the same total to their indebtedness in
both years.
Corporations added $133 billion, as
compared with $109 billion in 1972. The
acceleration occurred in the short-term
instruments; these increased $90 billion,
as compared with a rise of $60 billion
in 1972. The increase in long-term debt
slowed to $43 billion from $49 billion
in 1972.
The acceleration in public debt reflected a marked increase in the outstanding liabilities of Federal financial
agencies. These rose $18% billion in

SUEVEY OF CUKKENT BUSINESS
(Continued from page 8)

1973, as compared with $1% billion in
the prior year. The increase in the
Federal debt slowed to $8 billion from
$15% billion in 1972. State and local
governments added $9% billion to their
debt in 1973; in 1972 it had increased
$12^ billion.
Although individuals added about the
same amount to their indebtedness in
1973 as in 1972, there were marked
variations among debt categories. The
liabilities associated with nonfarm business—multifamily residential and commercial mortgages, commercial and

"financial" debt—rose $20 billion, as
compared with $28 billion in 1972.
Debts secured by mortgages on one-tofour family residential properties rose
about $35 billion in both years. The
increase in farm debt accelerated from
$5 billion in 1972 to $9}£ billion in 1973.
Consumer debt increased $23 billion,
as compared with $19 billion in the
prior year.
The tables presented here update
the debt statistics that have appeared
in previous issues of the SURVEY. In
addition to the regular updating, the

17
estimates of nonfarm mortgage debt
have been revised, beginning with 1970,
to incorporate newly available data
sources. A technical note describing the
mortgage debt estimates is available on
request from the National Income and
Wealth Division, Bureau of Economic
Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230.
Data for public and private debt for
1965-67 are in the May 1973 SURVEY,
data back to 1955 are in the May 1970
SURVEY, and data for earlier years are
in the May 1969 SURVEY.

1974 Plant and Equipment Expenditure Programs
B.

BUSINESSMEN expect to spend
$112 billion on new plant and equipment in 1974, according to the BEA
survey conducted in late April and
May.1 This would be a 12.2 percent
increase over actual expenditures last
year (table 1), compared with increases
of 12.8 percent in 1973 and 8.9 percent
in 1972.
Spending increased 3.4 percent from
the fourth quarter of 1973 to the first
quarter of 1974, to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of $107.3 billion; a 3.1
percent increase is projected for the
second quarter. These quarterly increases are about in line with the 3.0
percent average quarterly increase in
1973. Smaller increases are planned for
the remainder of 1974—2.3 percent
in the third quarter and 2.5 percent in
the fourth (table 2).
Present spending plans for the year
1. The expectations figures have been adjusted for sys"
tematic biases (table 5, footnote 2). Before such adjustment*
1974 expenditures were expected to be $112.08 billion for all
industries. $46.71 billion for manufacturing, and $65.36 billion
for nonmanufacturing. The adjustments were applied separately to each major industry; their net effect was to lower
the manufacturing total by $1.19 billion and raise the nonmanufacturing total by $1.07 billion.

550-325 O - 74 - 3




1974 are two-thirds of 1 percent lower
than in the February survey, because
of reduced spending plans for the second
half of the year. Actual spending in the
first quarter about equaled plans in
February, and plans for the second
quarter are about one-half of 1 percent
higher.
The reduction in 1974 spending plans
centers in industries other than manufacturing. Electric and gas utilities, and
mining and communication firms have
reduced their plans since the February
survey, more than offsetting increases
by railroads and other transportation
industries excluding air. Manufacturers
have raised spending plans slightly.
Increases for the petroleum, chemical,
primary metal, nonelectrical machinery,
and stone-clay-glass industries outweigh
reductions for motor vehicles, electrical
machinery, food-beverage, rubber, and
for some other manufacturing industries
that are not shown separately in the
tabulations.
Manufacturing programs
In the first quarter, manufacturers'
spending rose 5.8 percent to a seasonally

adjusted annual rate of $43 billion. If
the 5.2 percent rise planned for the
second quarter materializes, spending
for the first half of this year will rise
11 percent from the second half of
last year. Plans for the second half of
this year call for a 6 percent increase
from the first half. Investment plans

for all the major manufacturing industries except rubber, food, and stoneclay-glass show larger increases in the
first half of 1974 than in the second
half.
Manufacturers' spending plans for
1974 exceed actual spending in 1973 by
almost 20 percent, with nondurable

June 1974

and durable goods, producers planning
23 and 17 percent increases, respectively. All major industry groups except
"other nondurables" plan increases,
with the largest reported by petroleum
refining, paper, aircraft, and primary
metals.
New investment projects started by
manufacturers during the first quarter
of 1974 totaled $11.8 billion after
seasonal adjustment, compared with
$12.5 billion in the preceding quarter
and $10.9 billion a year ago. Starts by
nondurable goods producers rose about
2% percent, reflecting increases for the
petroleum and food industries. Producers of durables reported a 12 percent
decline from the record set in the fourth
quarter of 1973; all of the major industry groups except nonelectrical machinery reported declines.

SUEVEY OF CUKEENT BUSINESS

June 1974

The value of new projects started
exceeded spending in the first quarter,
resulting in an increase of carryover—
the amounts still to be spent on projects
already underway. Seasonally adjusted
carryover at the end of March totaled
$33.1 billion, up $1.1 billion from the
end of the fourth quarter (table 3).
There was little change in manufacturers' evaluation of the adequacy of
their capacity, in light of their prospective sales over the next 12 months.
Companies owning 54 percent of total
fixed assets in manufacturing reported
inadequate facilities as of March 31.
The figure was the same as the one
reported in the preceding survey (table
4). Increases for primary metals and
chemicals were offset by decreases for
the food-beverage machinery, and
transportation equipment industries.




19

Eailroads, which have increased their
1974 spending plans since the February
survey, now plan an increase of 30 percent, compared with a 9 percent actual
increase last year. Airlines plan to
spend about 13 percent less this year;
their spending declined 2 percent last
year after the large investment in
jumbo jets in 1972. Other transportation firms plan a 20 percent rise in
spending this year. This is traceable
primarily to the construction of the
Alaska pipeline.
The communication industry plans to
spend 1% percent more in 1974, about
the same as the actual increase in 1973.
Increases planned by the mining and
commercial groups—9 percent and 1
percent—are smaller than the actual
increases in 1973.

Nonmanufacturing programs

In the first quarter, nonmanufacturing industries spent at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of $64.3 billion,
2 percent more than in the fourth quarter; they plan increases of \% percent,
2.7 percent, and 2.2 percent in the
remaining quarters of the year.
For 1974, nonmanufacturing industries as a whole plan a 7% percent
increase, compared with 8 percent in
1973. Public utilities plan a large increase—14 percent; in 1973 their spending increased 10 percent. In the first
quarter, starts of new projects totaled
$10.4 billion—$700 million more than
in the fourth quarter of 1973. Carryover
rose $5% billion to a total of $69.2
billion, after seasonal adjustment.

11.8. Balance of Payments Developments:
First Quarter 1974
JL HE major measures of the U.S.
balance of payments in the first quarter
were diversely affected by several
special developments, especially changes
in trade and in financial transactions
related to the international petroleum
situation, the removal of U.S. controls
on capital outflows in late January,
and extraordinary U.S. Government
transactions.
Although the balance on goods and
services, in surplus by $2.9 billion in
the first quarter, was unchanged from
the fourth, there were contrasting
movements in the components of that
balance. A sharp decline in the merchandise trade surplus, primarily due
to higher-priced petroleum imports,
and a drop in military sales, reflecting
reduced transfers to Israel, were offset
by increased net income receipts stemming primarily from higher earnings of
foreign affiliates of U.S. petroleum
companies.
The balance on current account
shifted from a surplus of $1.8 billion in
the fourth quarter to near-balance in
the first. The shift was more than
accounted for by an extraordinary $2.0
billion U.S. Government grant (in
rupees) to India. The grant was fully
offset by an equivalent repayment (in
rupees) by India of loans previously
extended. Accordingly, there was no
net effect on the balance on current
account and long-term capital. The

balance on current account and longterm capital was favorably affected also
by a reduction in net long-term outflows reported by banks and by a
slowing in the net repayment of longterm corporate borrowing abroad.
In contrast, net nonliquid short-term
private capital outflows increased $2.0
billion to $3.2 billion in the first
quarter. Most of the increase was in
bank lending to foreigners, which rose an
unprecedented $2.8 billion compared
with a $1.1 billion rise in the fourth
quarter. The outflow was particularly
large in February and March, following
the removal of U.S. capital controls.
This increase in nonliquid short-term
outflows, combined with a $0.5 billion
decline in inflows associated with unrecorded transactions, nearly offset the
improvement in long-term capital transactions. Thus, the net liquidity deficit—
$0.9 billion in the first quarter—was
only slightly reduced.
Net liquid private capital inflows
decreased $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion
in the first quarter. The decline was
primarily due to a sharp rise in liquid
claims on foreigners, mainly those
reported by U.S. banks, that was partly
offset by an increase in liquid liabilities
to foreigners. (Included in the latter

percent volume drop. Imports of other
goods rose about 7 percent in value and
3 percent in volume. Exports of agricultural products rose 12 percent to
$5.9 billion— entirely due to higher
prices. Nonagricultural exports rose
10 percent in value, to $16.4 billion,
and about 2 percent in volume.
The $1.2 billion deterioration in the
first quarter trade balance was more
than accounted for by changes with the
developing areas. The balance with
Latin America shifted from nearbalance to a deficit of $0.9 billion,
as imports rose $1.4 billion and exports
$0.5 billion, and the balance with the
developing nations of Asia and Africa
shifted from a $0.2 billion surplus to
a $0.2 billion deficit. Among other
areas, the widening of the deficits
with Japan and Canada reflected more
rapid rises in imports than exports,
while reduced surpluses with the United
Kingdom and Eastern Europe occurred
as exports declined and imports increased. On the other hand, substantially higher exports accounted
for the rise in the surpluses with
continental Western Europe and with
Australia, New Zealand, and South
Africa as a group.
The deficit on military transactions
(excluding transfers under military
grants of goods and services) was $0.5
billion in the first quarter, compared
with $0.1 billion in the fourth. Deliveries under U.S. military agency sales
contracts dropped to $0.7 billion, from
$1.0 billion in the fourth quarter. Increased deliveries of aircraft and other
military hardware to West Germany,
Greece, Iran, and Saudi Arabia were
more than offset by decreased deliveries
to Israel, following substantial special
transfers of military equipment to that
country in the fourth quarter. Direct
defense expenditures showed a small
rise, as purchases of petroleum (at
doubled prices) were increased to replenish inventories that had been reduced in the fourth quarter.
The travel and transportation deficit
declined $0.1 billion to $0.5 billion. Receipts from foreign travelers in the
United States and from fares paid by
foreign travelers to U.S. air carriers —
especially by visitors from Japan, Can-

23
ada, and Latin America—rose nearly
$0.2 billion, while U.S. travel expenditures abroad and U.S. travelers' payments to foreign carriers remained
about the same as in the fourth quarter.
Net receipts for other transportation
services declined $0.1 billion.
Net investment income receipts rose
$1.5 billion to $2.9 billion. Income receipts—interest, dividends and branch
profits —from U.S. direct investments
abroad rose $1.8 billion to $4.4 billion,
while income payments for foreign
direct investments in the United States
rose $0.4 billion to $0.8 billion. Virtually
all of the changes were related to foreign
operations of U.S. petroleum companies
and the sharply higher prices for their
products. (See Highlights and Perspectives— Transactions of U.S. Petroleum
Companies.) Receipts of income on
other U.S. investments abroad rose
nearly $0.2 billion, reflecting higher income on U.S. Government assets and a
marked increase in income stemming
from foreign lending by U.S. banks. Income payments on foreign investment
in the United States, other than direct
investment, showed little change.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, the balance on goods and services
was in surplus by $2.9 billion in the first
quarter, the same as in the fourth.
Private remittances, pensions and other
transfers declined $0.3 billion, mainly
because remittances to Israel dropped
to more normal levels following a sharp
fourth quarter rise. Consequently the
balance on goods, services, and remittances improved $0.3 billion to a
$2.5 billion surplus.
U.S. Government grants in the first
quarter were a record $2.5 billion,
largely due to the $2.0 billion (in rupees)
paid to the Indian Government under
an agreement signed February 18, 1974.
(See Highlights and Perspectives —
Special U.S. Government Transactions.) Other grants increased about
$0.1 billion. Thus, the deterioration in
the balance on current account from
a $1.8 billion surplus in the fourth
quarter to near-balance in the first
was more than accounted for by the
special transaction with India; excluding that transaction the current
account balance would have improved
$0.2 billion.

India previously mentioned.
Among net private long-term capital
transactions, the major shift was in
U.S. direct investment outflows, which
declined from $1.4 billion in the fourth
quarter to $0.2 billion in the first. There
were very large net inflows in shortterm direct investment accounts from

the Middle East, Africa, and Latin

Net U.S. Government and private
long-term capital transactions shifted
by $4.4 billion to a net inflow of $2.1

rupees) of loans .by India. This transaction, net of a $0.1 billion accompanying

America. These inflows were only partly
offset by net outflows, also in shortterm accounts, to refining and marketing affiliates of U.S. petroleum companies, particularly in Western Europe
and Japan. The changes in the shortterm accounts probably reflected delays
both by U.S. parent companies in payments to their petroleum-producing
affiliates and delays in payments by
petroleum-consuming affiliates to their

*"Adjusted" items reflect balance of payments corrections to Census trade figures for
coverage, valuation, and timing: Line 4 is adjusted for changes in stocks of U.S. grain stored
in Canada; lines 6 and 22 include exports and imports of nonmonetary gold, electric power,
and petroleum trade of the Virgin Islands, but petroleum imports by U.S. military agencies
are excluded from line 22 (and line 23); line 22 also excludes imports—and line 17 excludes
reexports—of natural gas in transit through the United States from western to eastern Canada;
line 24 and 25 include imports of vessels not recorded in Census statistics; lines 27 and 28
reflect adjustments for the overvaluation in Census import data of autos and trucks from

1. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line 14) is not
as complete and comprehensive as the identification of automotive products imports from
Canada, which are more definitively classified for duty-free status under the U.S.-Canada
Automotive Products Trade Act. The less comprehensive identification in U.S. trade statistics of automotive parts exports, combined with some degree of unreported export shipments,
results in an undercounting of automotive exports to Canada (line 14) which—estimated
from examination of Canada's import statistics—amounted to about $875 million in 1973 and
$550 million annually in 1972 and 1971.

U.S. corporations were offset by increases in purchases of other bonds.
Most of the $0.1 billion decline in
foreign purchases of U.S. stocks reflected a shift to net sales by Japan.
Japan's imposition of controls on
foreign securities investments early in
1974 may have contributed to that
shift. Foreign purchases of bonds issued
abroad by U.S. corporations dropped
to only $25 million from $0.4 billion in
the fourth quarter. Only one issue was
floated—in January, before the announcement of the removal of U.S.
controls on capital outflows. On the
other hand, transactions in other U.S.
bonds shifted by $0.5 billion to net
purchases of $0.3 billion (mostly World
Bank purchases of U.S. agency bonds).
Among other long-term transactions,
U.S. bank-reported net capital outflows, although increasing after January, were $0.4 billion less in the first
quarter than in the fourth, and net
capital inflows of other U.S. concerns
shifted favorably by $0.3 billion, as
net repayments of liabilities slowed.
The $4.4 billion favorable shift in
all long-term capital transactions,
netted against the $1.8 billion deterioration in the current account balance,

Israel
There were extraordinary transactions with Israel, associated with the
Middle East war that began in October,
in both the fourth and first quarters.
During the first 2 weeks of the conflict,
the U.S. Government authorized shipments of material to Israel costing $825
million, including transportation. This
equipment was ordered by Israel from
the U.S military services under the
Foreign Military Sales Act, utilizing
the provisions for short-term credit for
payment within 120 days of delivery.
Additional orders were placed by Israel
through the first quarter. Moreover,
$500 million in undelivered orders from
Israel had been in the military service
pipeline on October 6, and deliveries
against these earlier orders continued
in the last quarter of 1973, and in the
first quarter of 1974.
Deliveries from new orders placed
after October 6 are estimated at about
$600 million in the fourth quarter of
1973
and $75 million in the first
quarter 1974 (recorded as a credit
entry, table 2, line 3). These deliveries

and that the magnitude of the overstatement had become sizable in recent
years, rising from $0.3 billion in 1966

in 1973. Accordingly, the direct investment income receipts series was revised
beginning in 1966.

Canada.
These shifts resulted in a $0.9 billion
reduction in the deficit on current account and long-term capital to $0.6
billion in 1973.
Other countries
Although the value of petroleum imports from the Middle East, Africa, and
Latin America surged late in 1973, the
merchandise trade balance with all
other countries combined improved substantially—from a deficit of $0.2 billion
to a surplus of $1.7 billion. Nearly half
of the improvement was accounted for
by a rise in the merchandise trade surplus with Eastern Europe, largely reflecting a sharp increase in agricultural
exports.
Military transactions shifted from
net payments of $0.9 billion in 1972 to
net receipts of $0.5 billion in 1973,
mostly because of large sales to Israel
in the fourth quarter of 1973. Net investment income receipts rose substantially, from $4.8 billion in 1972 to nearly
$6.2 billion in 1973. This increase
stemmed mainly from the earnings of
U.S. petroleum companies.
Largely as a result of the above
factors, the current-account balance
increased $4.9 billion to a surplus of
$5.4 billion in 1973.
Net outflows of long-term capital
decreased from $4.0 billion to $3.4
billion because of a sharp increase in
foreign direct investment in the United
States (bolstered by the purchase of a
portion of a U.S.-incorporated petroleum company by a foreign petroleumproducing country), a decrease in U.S.
direct investment outflows, and a
decrease in U.S. bank claims on
foreigners. These changes more than
offset a $1.0 billion increase in the net
outflow of U.S. Government capital.
The balance on current account and
long-term capital shifted from a $3.5
billion deficit in 1972 to a $2.0 billion
surplus in 1973.

*Less than $500,000.
1. The figures shown for exports and imports are the trade totals published by the Census
Bureau, with the following exceptions;
Exports and Imports: Beginning with 1968 data, exports and imports as published by the
Census Bureau include trade in silver ore and bullion. To achieve comparability over time,
all pre-1968 data shown in this table have been adjusted to include silver transactions.
Imports Only: (a) 1962 imports as shown do not include an upward revision of $10 million
which is in the revised 1962 import total published by the Census Bureau, because supporting
commodity detail was not available. This amount is included instead in the balance of
payments adjustment shown in line 12, and is in total merchandise imports, balance of payments basis, lines 13 and 15. (b) 1965 imports as shown here are $92 million higher than imports
as recorded in Census Bureau published statistics. The adjustment, which corrects for large
irregularities and some omissions in the monthly receipt of documents by Census during the
last 6 months of 1965, has-been distributed in the accompanying commodity detail, lines 61-101.

7. Mainly imports of electrical energy.
8. Mainly foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables
2, 3, and 9, line 20 (Other transportation); also imports from Panama Canal Zone, and imports
of domestically owned grains returned from storage in Canada.
9. Merchandise imported directly by the Department of Defense, as well as "defense"
imports of the Coast Guard and Atomic Energy Commission, to the extent such imports are
identifiable from Census import documents and verifiable from separate reports of the importing agencies. These imports are included in tables 2, 3, and 9, line 17: "Direct defense
expenditures."
10. Includes exports and imports of silver ore and bullion for all years (see footnote 1 reference
to treatment of silver in Census statistics).
11. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
12. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line 47) is not
as complete and comprehensive as the identification of automotive products imports from




Canada, which are more definitively classified for duty-free status under the U.S.-Canada
Automotive Products Trade Act. The less comprehensive identification in U.S. trade statistics of automotive parts exports, combined with some degree of unreported export shipments,
results in an undercounting of automotive exports to Canada (line 47) which-^-estimated
from examination of Canada's import statistics—amounted to about $875 million in 1973
and $550 million annually in 1972 and 1971, and $440 million in 1970.
13. Starting in 1973, line 59 excludes reexports, and line 67 excludes imports of natural gas
in transit through the United States from western to eastern Canada.
14. Includes downward revisions in the Census/Customs value of automotive imports
from Canada which have not yet been incorporated in the Census Bureau's published import
statistics as shown in line 60, above. These revisions, annually, are valued as follows: 1970,
-$31 million; 1969, -$26 million.
NOTE.—Details may not add to totals because of rounding.

"Less than $500,000. (^)
1. Position figures reflect increase of $15 million in U.S. Treasury bills and certificates
(line 27), $113 million in U.S. Treasury bonds and notes (line 31), $19 million in nonmarketable,
nonliquid U.S. Treasury obligations (line 38), and a negligible amount in convertible currencies (line 45), as a result of revaluations in foreign currencies due to the dollar devaluation in
the first quarter, 1973. Total official reserve assets (line 42), also include an increase of $1,436
million resulting from change in par value of the dollar on October 18, 1973, consisting of
$1,165 million gold, $217 million special drawing rights, and $54 million reserve position in
the International Monetary Fund.
2. With maturity of 1 year or less; negotiable certificates of deposit with a maturity of 1 year
or less are included in "other obligations."

7. Prior to 1973 line 48 excludes all military cash receipts from Belgium-Luxembourg,
France, Netherlands and Australia and partially excludes such receipts from Italy because
these data are not available by country.
NOTE.—Country data are based on information available from U.S. reporting sources. In
some instances the statistics may not necessarily reflect the ultimate foreign transactor. For
instance: U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported destination; in many cases the
exports may be transshipped to third countries (especially true for the Netherlands and
Germany). The geographic breakdown of security transactions reflects country with which

transaction occurred but may not necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or
ultimate destination of U.S. funds.
Data for individual countries within EEC (6) may not add to the published totals for EEC
(6) since in several instances the transactions are regional and in other instances estimates
for the group are not available for each country. In addition, country data may not add to
EEC (6) totals because of rounding.

v Preliminary.
1. Balance of payments by area on the net liquidity basis and the official reserve transactions basis lack validity because liquid dollar holdings of private and official foreigners
may be affected not only by their transactions with the United States but also by transactions among themselves. The balances shown by area here have some shortcomings due
to statistical discrepancies including errors, ommissions, and incorrect area attributions.
Balances are derived from lines in table 2 (all areas) and table 9 (individual areas) as
follows:

1, 15, 29, 33, 39-41, 44, 48, 49-51, 53 (by
area only part of line 53 is included)
The balance on current account and long-term capital with "all areas" includes changes in
long-term liabilities to all private foreigners reported by U.S. banks; with "international
organizations" includes only liabilities to IBRD and affiliated organizations; and with other
areas includes only liabilities to regional organizations. Increases in the long-term liabilities
to other private foreigners included in the total, but not in the areas, amounted to (millions
of dollars): 1971 year, 95; 1972 year, 33; 1973 year, 71; 1973-1, 36; 1973-11, 6; 1973-III, 39;
1973-IV, -10; 1974-1, -68.

sales contracts and imports under direct defense expenditures.

3. Includes some short-term U.S. Government assets; area data exclude long-term liabilities reported by U.S. banks other than to international organizations (see footnote 1).
4. The "European Economic Community (9)" includes the "European Economic Community (6)", the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Ireland.
5. The "European Economic Community (6)" includes Belgium, France, Germany, Italy,
Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
6. "Other Western Europe" excludes the United Kingdom and the "E.E.G. (6) through
the fourth quarter of 1972. Beginning in the first quarter of 1973 "Other Western Europe
excludes the "E.E.G. (9)".

7 Transactions with the Ryukyu Islands that were under U.S. military administration
from the end of World War II until May 15, 1972 are included with Japan beginning in the
first quarter 1972; in previous periods they are included with "Other Countries in Asia and
8. The current account balance reflects the effect of a U.S. Government grant of $2.0
billion (in rupees) to India. This was offset in the balance on current account and long-term
capital by the repayment by India (in rupees) of loans previously extended by the U.b.
Government.

Geographic detail

In addition to the usual statistics on
U.S. international transactions with
geographic areas (tables 9 and 10),
estimates on transactions with Belgium
and Luxembourg, France, Germany,
Italy, Netherlands, Mexico, Australia,
and South Africa for the years 1971-73
are shown in tables 9a and lOa. Estimates for Australia and South Africa
are published for the first time in this
issue of the SURVEY; estimates for the
European countries and for Mexico for
the years 1968-72 were published in the
June 1972 and 1973 SURVEY articles.

reconciliation

of

Reconciliation of the 1971-72 bilateral current accounts in the balance of
payments statistics of the United States
and Canada was completed in the
spring of 1974. (The 1970 reconciliation
was completed a year earlier.) On the
basis of the conceptual framework established for the study, the results were
as follows:
(Billions of U.S. dollars)
Reconciled U.S. pubdata

been revised to incorporate new information. Using the revised data,
seasonal adjustments for most accounts
were recalculated by extending through
1973 the period used to derive adjustment factors. The data and seasonal
adjustments for 1972 and 1973 were
subject to the most extensive revisions.
Direct investment income receipts
in particular were substantially revised
for the period 1966-1973 to adjust
for the overstatement of petroleum
earnings (see Highlights and Perspec-




1970

tives—Transactions of U.S. Petroleum
Companies). Receipts and payments of
direct investment fees and royalties,
previously included in the income
accounts, were shifted to the "other
services" accounts.
Seasonal patterns for U.S. direct
investments abroad (table 3, line 39)
and long-term liabilities reported by
U.S. nonbanking concerns (table 3,
line 51) may change in 1974 due to the
removal of U.S. controls on capital
outflows late in January. However,

Some revisions based on the reconciliation have been incorporated in the
published series; other revisions will be
made after completion of the comprehensive reconciliation of 1973 trade
statistics now underway. Because of
conceptual differences, however, it is
not possible to fully substitute the
reconciled data for the published data.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

J.HE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (available from the Superintendent of Documents for $5.15) provides a description of each series, references
to sources of earlier figures, and historical data as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1969 through 1972 (1962-72 for major quarterly
series), annually, 1947-72; for selected series, monthly or quarterly, 1947-72 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1973
BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1972 issued too late for
inclusion in the 1973 volume appear in the monthly SURVEY beginning with the August 1973 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly
data for periods not shown herein corresponding to revised annual data are available upon request.
The sources of the data are given in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; they appear in the main descriptive note for each series, and
are also listed alphabetically on pages 189-90. 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.
