Quarterly Totals, Seasonally Adjusted.

E,

ECONOMIC activity continued to
rise in October as seasonally adjusted
personal income and establishment employment reached new peaks and industrial production improved after slowing
in September. The course of total
activity continues to be dominated by
rising business capital outlays and a
strong expansion in defense purchases,
although some crosscurrents have become more prominent since late summer. The pace of inventory accumulation has apparently lessened; the
decline in residential construction has
been extended, and net exports remain
sluggish. Sales of new cars in the first
month of the new model year declined
slightly, after seasonal adjustment.
Pressures on prices also appear to
have moderated in the past few months.
The indications have been clearest in
wholesale markets, where the index of
prices for commodities other than farm
products and processed foods was unchanged for the fourth straight month;
farm and food prices dropped sharply
in October as livestock and meat
supplies expanded further and crop
prospects improved.
Income and employment up

ment in the trade and service industries
combined advanced 120,000 in October,
and manufacturing employment was up
75,000. Most manufacturing industries reported some increase in employment, the largest gains occurring in
metals and machinery and in apparel.
Reflecting the slowdown in building
activity, employment in contract construction declined, as it had each
month of the third quarter, and in
October was barely above its level a
year earlier.
Industrial production recovers
The index of industrial production
rose to a new record in October, with
further increases in output of business
and defense equipment and a sharp
recovery in auto assemblies from the
relatively low September level. Auto
producers turned out 830,000 new cars
last month, a sizable advance for the
month after seasonal adjustment but
somewhat below planned production.
Dealers' sales of new domestically
produced cars totaled 795,000 units in
October; after seasonal adjustment,
this represents an annual rate of 7.9
million cars. The sales pace was off
about 5 percent from the third quarter
average and was somewhat below the
October 1965 level. Output exceeded
retail deliveries last month, and dealer
inventories rose further.

Personal income rose $4.6 billion in
October to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $594.6 billion; this was the third
month in a row in which the total rose
more than $4K billion. Wage and
salary payments increased $2.6 billion

ing to the new estimates, inventory investment declined $2K billion, at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate, from
the second to the third quarter, and
net exports fell by $K billion. The
increase in real output was about 1
percent in the third quarter as compared with % of 1 percent in the
second.
Corporate profits, including the inventory valuation adjustment, declined
from a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of $79.9 billion in the second quarter to
$79.3 billion in the third. The decrease
centered in manufacturing, particularly the automobile industry. Aftertax profits decreased $% billion over the
quarter, and with dividends unchanged
and capital consumption allowances up

revision next month.

bookings for defense products during
September. Orders for defense products rose $1.5 billion over August,
bringing the third quarter rate of defense ordering some 15 percent above
the rate for the second quarter of 1966
and 40 percent (annual basis) above
the full-year total for 1965. Although
the Census Bureau includes civilian
aircraft under defense products in its
monthly manufacturing series, there can
be little doubt that orders for military
aircraft have risen considerably.
Machinery orders remain high
September orders for machinery and
equipment were about the same as
their high levels of July and August,
making the third quarter the eighth in

CHART 2

Consumer Prices Up 3.3 Percent
New Orders for Durable Goods
Producers of durable goods continued
to book a large volume of new business
during the summer and early fall. New
orders rose sharply in September after
seasonal adjustment, exceeding the
previous peak reached in March; for
the third quarter as a whole, they
averaged $24.4 billion a month, the
same as the monthly average for the
second quarter (chart 1).
The continued buildup of the -U.S.
military effort gave an impetus to
orders for defense products during the
third quarter. However, orders received by nondefense industries eased
slightly from first and second quarter
levels. The slippage resulted mainly
from reductions in orders placed with
steel mills and with producers of motor
vehicles, other consumer durable goods,
and construction materials. Orders received by producers of machinery and
equipment increased further as businessmen expanded their capital investment programs.

a row in which new orders for machinery
have risen.
Nonelectrical machinery orders,
spurred by demands from manufacturers to enlarge plant capacity and to
improve worker productivity, have
advanced vigorously so far this year.
In the third quarter, new orders for
nonelectrical machinery averaged 2 percent above the rate for the second
quarter and were nearly 12 percent
higher than in the third quarter of 1965.
Electrical machinery orders have shown
an even larger gain, especially for types
of equipment used by the public utilities. Orders received by producers of
household electrical appliances, including radio and television sets, increased
substantially during the last half of
1965 and have remained on a high
-plateau throughout 1966.

The slowing of residential and commercial construction activity has
lowered the demand for steel and other
construction materials in recent months.
Although new orders received at steel
mills declined slightly from the second
to the third quarter, orders were still
at one of the highest rates in recent
years, even including periods of heavy
inventory buildup associated with strike
threats. Defense requirements for steel
are undoubtedly offsetting a large
part of the decline by other sectors,
which probably reflects the cautious
inventory policies of auto and appliance producers as well as the weakness in construction.
Orders for construction materials and
supplies other than steel have responded more directly to the drop in
construction activity. New orders declined from a peak of nearly $3K billion
a month in the first quarter of 1966 to
an average of $3.3 billion in the second
and slipped to about $3.15 billion in the
third. The inflow of orders in September was the smallest since August
1965.

A lessening of inflationary pressures

index for October, which fell 0.6 per-

cent for the largest monthly drop in 4
years. On a seasonally adjusted basis,
prices of farm products and processed
foods combined decreased 2.6 percent
while industrial commodity prices, after
3 months of stability, edged down 0.1
percent.
Meat prices down., production up

Almost all components of the farm
and food price indexes eased in October,
but some of the largest declines were in
livestock, poultry, and processed meats.
Meat prices are reflecting the very
sizable increases in production that are
now occurring in response to higher
prices earlier this year. Slaughter of
livestock and poultry during the third
quarter was at a new peak, after
seasonal adjustment, nearly 10 percent
above the first quarter level. Although
beef production has increased only a
little since last winter, pork supplies
have risen 20 percent and poultry
slaughter 10 percent since then.
Among industrial commodities, the
pattern of mixed price change evident
since midsummer continued in October.
As in September, the most prominent
decreases were for products whose
demand has slackened perceptibly;
prices of hides and skins have fallen
because of much lower export demand,
and lumber prices are off considerably
because of the decline in residential
homebuilding and commercial construction. In some cases—manmade textile




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
fibers and certain industrial chemicals—
prices have eased because supplies have
risen much faster than demand.
Steadily rising demand for machinery
and equipment has been reflected in the
trend of wholesale prices for these items.
Among the 13 major industrial groups,
only the machinery price index has
advanced uninterruptedly this year.
The 0.6 percent rise in seasonally adjusted machinery prices during October
was the largest monthly increase in 6
years and boosted the index 2% percent
above its December 1965 level.
Consumer price rise slows

Falling prices for meats and poultry
moderated the advance in the consumer
price index during the third quarter.
On the average, third quarter consumer
prices, seasonally adjusted, were up
0.7 percent from the second quarter
after increasing 0.9 percent in the
first quarter of this year and 1.1 percent
in the second.
Retail meat prices have been moving
steadily downward since March and in
the third quarter averaged 2.8 percent
below those of the second quarter.
The decline in meat prices during the
summer months about offset large price
increases for many other foods, notably
dairy products, cereals, and bakery
products. As a result, prices for all
foods at home were virtually unchanged
in the third quarter; food prices rose
2.9 percent in the first quarter and

L2 percent in the second. The cost of
housing and apparel also showed smaller
gains in the third quarter than in the
second, but on balance, gains in service
prices accelerated. Prices of consumer
durables have risen moderately since
early spring after declining most of
last year.
Over the past year, consumer prices
have risen 3.3 percent, and among the
major components, food and services
have shown the largest increases (chart
2). Together they account for about
57 percent of the weight in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI), but they have
contributed some 75 percent of the
overall rise in the CPI since the third
quarter of 1965. The largest relative
increases among the major service
categories have occurred in medical
care; medical services have a weight
of less than 5 percent in the CPI but
accounted for more than 8 percent of
the total increase in the index. Much
of the increase in medical service prices
over the past year occurred in the
second and third quarters of this year.
Price increases for commodities other
than food accounted for only one-fourth
of the over-the-year rise in consumer
prices, despite the fact that they
account for more than two-fifths of the
weight in the index. Even after recent
gains, prices for durable goods are only
slightly above the third quarter of
1965, and the index jof prices for new
car has declined.

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1966

Hes of Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Firms in 1965

FOREIGN manufacturing affiliates of
U.S. firms raised their sales to $42.4
billion in 1965, about 13 percent over
the 1964 amount. This rate of increase
was somewhat above the average since
1957, though less than the extraordinary
17 percent gain in 1964.
The vigorous growth of the sales of
these foreign affiliates is based partly on
the broad advances in economic activity
in the major industrial countries abroad,
which are the chief markets of these
firms. It is also related to the continuing rapid buildup of productive
facilities, the growth of which is indi-

cated in chart 3 in terms of the cumulative gross expenditures for plant and
equipment since 1957. No allowance
has been made for depreciation or
discards in the data plotted in the chart;
the increase in the stock of fixed capital
would be somewhat slower. Nevertheless, the data suggest that fixed assets
have expanded at a faster rate than
sales. This may indicate a considerable accumulation of facilities that are
not yet at the producing stage. It is
also possible that some firms are
becoming increasingly capital intensive
in their foreign operations and that they
are tending to produce for themselves
some intermediate products which they
had formerly purchased from others.

rate. The transportation equipment
industry is the largest in terms of
European sales, but in 1965 it scored a
notable expansion only in Germany.
In Canada, total sales of U.S. manufacturing affiliates in 1965 increased
sharply to $13.4 billion. In most product lines gains were moderately larger
than in 1964. For automobiles, however, there was an upsurge of about:
$% billion, indicating at least in part a
significant impact of the U.S.-Canadian
agreement on trade in automobiles.
Some of the gain in sales is reflected in
higher exports to the United States
(table 3), but the full effect on exports

European affiliates have tripled their
sales since 1957 and now account for
44 percent of the sales of all foreign
affiliates. Sales of these affiliates were
up by $2.1 billion in 1965, a slower rise
than in 1963 or 1964. Smaller gains in
France and Italy last year probably
reflected a reduced pace of economic
activity, though an uptrend began in
both countries in 1965. German affiliates continued to score large sales
increases in 1965, but they may be encountering slowdowns this year because
of generally slack conditions. Sales
gains in the United Kingdom moderated
in 1965 after their sharp rise in 1964.
This reflected a considerable drop in the
rate of economic expansion in the
United Kingdom, and was marked by
a flattening out of sales in the transportation equipment industry (table 1).
Although most of the individual manufacturing industries in Europe registered large sales increases in 1965, only
the chemical and food products industries were able to do so at an accelerated

Destination of manufacturers9 sales
There was little change in 1965 in
the overall breakdown of foreign manufacturing sales by destination. About
82 percent were sold in the same countries in which the plants were located,
14 percent were exported to other foreign countries, and a little over 4 percent were exported to the United
States.
Exports by manufacturing affiliates
to the United States, though still a
small part of the total, rose somewhat
more than usual in 1965; most were from
Canadian affiliates of U.S. firms.
These reflected not only the normal rise
in industrial materials typically associated with rising economic activity
in the United States but also a substantial gain in shipments of transportation
equipment to the United States. Exports from European affiliates to the
United States remained relatively small
and showed little change (table 3).




sales of foreign plants operated by U.S.
firms. Detailed comparisons are difficult for 1965 because of changes in the
classification of U.S. exports in the trade
statistics. In chart 4, the export figures for 1965 have been adjusted as far
as possible so as to be consistent with
data for earlier years. This involves
primarily the deletion throughout the
period shown of exports that until 1965
were grouped under "special category"
exports. For the six major commodity
groups shown, the 1965 export performance was quite weak not only as compared with the sales growth of the foreign affiliates in similar industries but
also as compared with trends since 1960.
Sales of mining affiliates
Foreign mining affiliates of U.S. firms
increased their sales substantially in
1965, although not as much as in 1964.
The output of most metals and minerals has been spurred by increasing
world demand, and U.S. firms have also
opened up some new resources. The
sales value of the output has also
benefited from rising prices.
Sales increases were reported for
every area of operations. Of the $420
million increase in sales during 1965,
about one-third represented exports to
the United States, and one-third exports to third countries.

U.S. exports vs. foreign sales
Aggregate U.S. exports of manufactures rose by less than 5 percent in 1965
and thus grew much more slowly than

Industrial Impact of the 1966 Housing
and Commercial Building Decline
THE restrictive effect of tight money
was quite apparent in the sharp decline
of new housing construction from the
first to the third quarter of 1966. In
current dollars, private nonfarm residential outlays for new housing units
fell from a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $21.5 billion in the first quarter
to $18.2 billion in the third, or 15%
percent; the decline in constant dollars
was 18 percent. Housing starts, which
lead outlays by about one quarter,
showed an even larger contraction over
the same period; the private nonfarm
total dropped from an annual rate of
1.49 million units to a little over 1.06
million, or 29 percent. Building permits, which lead starts slightly, declined
still further, by 33 percent.
Commercial building—offices, stores,
and warehouses—has also been affected
by the tight money market in 1966.
Current dollar expenditures fell from
an annual rate of $7.6 billion in the
first quarter to $6.3 billion in the third,
or 17 percent; the reduction in constant
dollars was 20 percent.

Measuring the industrial impact

Largest impact on durable manufacturing industries

Not only has the cutback in housing
and commercial building activity affected the construction industry but
it has also spread to the suppliers of
the construction industry, to the industries that supply the suppliers, and
so on. OBE's input-output study provides the basis for tracing the decline
in housing and commercial building
through the various industries. The
data presented here show the percentage
of each industry's output directly and
indirectly attributable to housing and
commercial building in the first quarter
of 1966 and the decline in output
from the first to the third quarter of
1966 attributable to the building decline. It is important to keep in
mind that total GNP rose over this
period, so that for the great majority

Table 1 shows the estimated percentage of total output in manufacturing, mining, and utilities in the first
quarter of 1966 attributable to expenditures for housing and commercial building during the first, quarter of 1966
(column 1), and the change in output
from the first to the third quarter
attributable to the decline in private
nonfarm residential and commercial
building from the first to the third
quarter (column 2). For example, for
the fabricated metal products industry,
the proportion of total output generated by the direct and indirect requirements of housing and commercial building in the first quarter of 1966 was 11.8
percent. The decline in housing and
commercial building from the first to
third quarter was responsible for a 2.2
percent decline in the total output of

cial building for one-third of the decline
in all industries.
The declines in the lumber, stone,
clay, and glass; and metal manufacturing industries were relatively large
because greater proportions of the total
output of these industries are attributable to housing and commerical building. In contrast, the nondurable manufacturing industries and utilities are
much less dependent upon the output
generated by housing and commerical
building and consequently had small
output changes due to the building
decline. It is also of interest to note
that although the residential and commercial building demand for the output
of the stone and earth minerals and
metal mining industries stems solely
from indirect (rather than direct) requirements of the construction industry,
the building decline has had a comparatively large effect on these industries.
Chart 5 shows those industries within
the durable manufacturing, nondurable
manufacturing, and mining components
that had larger percent declines than

the group average: 1.1 percent for the
durable manufacturing and mining
industries and 0.4 percent for the nondurable manufacturing industries.
Implications of the decline
It may be surprising that a decline of
close to 20 percent in housing and commercial building has not led to a
reduction in output of more than 5
percent for any one industry. This is
due to the fact that none of the industries as defined in the input-output
table has a high proportion of its output associated with residential and
commercial construction. The building
decline affected the output of seven
industries by more than 1 percent.
During the current situation of high
capacity utilization and upward pressures on capacity and on costs and
prices, even a small change in total output can have a significant bearing on
price behavior. The recent leveling in
industrial prices reflects in part the
impact of this declining demand.
The decline in housing starts and
building permits that has already

occurred, continued maintenance of
tight money market, and the recent
suspension of accelerated depreciation
allowances on rental housing and commercial building until Janaury 1968
suggest a continued contraction in
these building outlays during the coming months. If housing outlays were
to fully reflect the 33 percent decline
in permits, real outlays would decline
by another 18 percent, or about as
much as they decreased from the
first to the third quarter. Thus, the
decreases in industry output attributable to a one-third decline in real
outlays would be about twice as large
as shown in column 4 table 1.
How the estimates were made
1. Industrial output generated by housing and commercial building.—Construction expenditures in 1958 dollars were
estimated separately for one- to fourfamily housing, high-rise apartments,
low-rise apartments, offices, warehouses, and stores, restaurants, and
garages. For each of these categories,
expenditures in the first and third
quarters of 1966 were multiplied by
the direct and indirect requirements
coefficients for these components of
construction that appeared in table 3
of the input-output article on construction activity in the May 1965
SURVEY.
2. First quarter 1966 total output of
individual industries in 1958 dollars.—
The 1958 industry output totals (in
1958 dollars) shown in input-output
table 1 in the September 1965 SURVEY
were extrapolated to the first quarter
of 1966 by the movement of the Federal
Keserve Board industrial production
indexes from 1958 to the first quarter
of 1966.
3. Importance of output generated by
housing and commercial building.—Industry output attributable to housing
and commercial building in the first
quarter of 1966 was divided by the
estimated total industry output in the
first quarter of 1966 to obtain the
proportion shown in the first column
of table 1. A proportion similarly
calculated but based on third quarter
expenditures, when subtracted from the
figure in columns 1 and 3, yielded the
figure shown in columns 2 and 4.

Reeent Developments in Money and Financial Markets
JL HE sustained rise in economic
activity over the past 5% years, which
was intensified by the step-up in the
war in Vietnam, has brought new
problems to the economy in 1966.
With resources already being utilized
at near-capacity rates, inflationary pressures have increased. The heavy demands for goods and services in most
major sectors of the economy have been
accompanied by exceptionally strong
demands for credit accommodation.
Much of the burden of containing
excess demand pressures this year has
fallen on monetary policy. In an
attempt to bring aggregate demand
more into line with the economy's
productive potential and thereby to
reduce inflationary pressures, the monetary authorities have pursued a policy
of credit restraint. With financial markets curbed and with credit demands
very high, interest rates this year
reached levels not seen since the 1920's.
Although the expansion in economic
activity and pressures on prices have
moderated since late 1965 and early
1966, there has been no pronounced
abatement in the demand for money
and credit. Since mid-September, interest rates have generally eased, and
some of the turbulence that characterized financial markets in midsummer
has disappeared. At the moment, it is
too early to determine the significance
of this easing. Although it may be
related to uncertainties about the
economic outlook for 1967, it may also
be due to the President's announcement
in early September that new fiscal
measures would be introduced to help
moderate the expansion; to Federal
Reserve Board pressure against loans,
which has helped slow down the liquidation of government securities; and
finally, to the interest rate ceilings

September.

banks to a search for new time deposits.
The banks have been willing to pay a
high price for such deposits since they
carry a lower reserve requirement than

demand deposits and thus permit a
larger volume of loan expansion.
Throughout most of this year, banks
have been paying the legal limit of 5%
percent on large certificates of deposits
and, until very recently, some banks
have been paying the same rate on
some maturity classes of small CD's.
Under these circumstances, new pressures have emerged in the market for
savings funds. Consequently, and in
an attempt to ward off withdrawals of
funds and to stay competitive with
commercial banks, other institutions—
chiefly savings and loan associations—
have been forced to raise the rates they
pay on deposits. The result has been a
spiraling of rates, which has narrowed
the gap between what savings and loan
institutions have to pay for funds and
what they can earn by making mortgage
loans, their principal type of investment
activity. This development has contributed to a drastic curtailment of
their mortgage lending, which in the
third quarter was down 43 percent from
the third quarter of 1965.
The reduced flow of time deposits
has been accompanied by an acceleration in the direct channeling of funds
from borrower to lender—a practice in
which funds bypass financial intermediaries. Such a development is typical
of periods of strong credit demands and
monetary restraint, when rapidly advancing yields on marketable securities
become more attractive to investors
than those available on time or savings
deposits. Unlike the situation in earlier
periods of credit stringency, this shift
to security purchases has occurred despite competition from banks and
financial institutions and sharp rate
increases for time and savings deposits,
and it highlights the overall severity
of the shortage of loanable funds.
Two steps taken in recent months
relieved some of the distortions that
had arisen in the market for savings.
First, the increase in reserve requirements against time deposits made such
deposits relatively less attractive to
commercial banks. Second, the ceiling
on multiple maturity time deposits was
rolled back from 5K to 5 percent. This
action was directed at small, consumertype CD's and does not affect the large

growth

slackens

in

During the summer months, as
monetary policy became more restrictive and as commercial banks encountered greater difficulty in acquiring and
holding time deposits, growth in commercial bank credit slackened appreciably. After substantial gains during
the first half of this year, total bank
credit, seasonally adjusted, rose only
$2.3 billion from June to September—
the smallest quarterly increase since
1960. During the third quarter, loans
increased $2.9 billion after seasonal
adjustment—less than half the second
quarter increase —while investments declined $0.6 billion. Moreover, during
the month of September, seasonally
adjusted bank credit fell $2.2 billion
from the August level, the first decline
in nearly 5% years.
For the first three quarters of 1966,
total loans and investments at commercial banks increased at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of $17.6 billion, or
6 percent. (This compares with 8.5
percent and 10.2 percent annual growth
rates for the full years 1964 and 1965.)
The loan component of bank credit,
however, advanced at an $18 billion
annual rate, or 9.4 percent. During
the same period, bank holdings of
"other securities"—in large part municipals—increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of only $4.3 billion,
or 9.5 percent, slightly more than onehalf the rate of increase for the comparable period of 1965. This greater
increase in loans and municipals than
in total bank credit was made possible
by a $4.9 billion reduction (annual rate)
in U.S. Government securities. The
heavy bank sales of U.S. Government
securities and the reduced demand for
"other securities" had the further effect
of putting additional downward pressures on bond prices and thereby contributed substantially to the rapid rise
of bond yields. This in turn reduced
the attractiveness of time and savings
deposits.
Business loan expansion has been
strong this year (chart 6). Business
(Text continues after blue pages]

November 1966

demands for external funds have accelerated in the wake of exceptionally
high rates of plant and equipment expenditures and of working capital expansion. With bond financing costs
especially high, a major share of business financing has been attempted
through bank loans. Prompted by
strong customer relationships and vigorous competition, while restrained by
tight reserve positions, commercial
bankers have attempted to accommodate business needs by a considerable
readjustment in portfolio activities.
Besides selling U.S. Government securities, banks have supplied credit to
commercial and industrial users by
substantially curtailing loan funds to
other users. So far this year, seasonally
adjusted business loans have increased
about 13 percent, and all other loans
have advanced only 4 percent. This
reallocation among credit users explains
much of the strength in the business
loan component during the current
period of credit restraint.
In recognition of these shifts and in
an attempt to achieve an orderly expansion of bank credit, the Federal
Reserve System recently announced a
new review function for the discount
window. While pledging support to
member banks in making adjustments
to higher, reserve requirements against
time deposits, the Federal Reserve
System cautioned that in satisfying
loan requests by member banks, consideration would be given to the asset
side of the borrowing bank's portfolio.
It was made clear that a reduction in
business loan expansion was a key element in maintaining sound credit conditions.
Interest rates and bond yields

Financing costs began to rise sharply
in the last quarter of 1965, and except
for a moderate decline in March and
early April, they have climbed steadily
higher throughout 1966. During the
third quarter, interest rates and bond
yields advanced at an accelerated pace.
This exceptionally sharp rise in rates
was dispersed rather evenly throughout
the maturity structure and, after reaching highs not seen in most cases since
the 1920's, peaked in mid-September.
Rates have declined moderately since




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
their recent highs, and some of the
turbulence in financial markets has
subsided.
The course of interest rates since the
third quarter of last year stands in
marked contrast to the stable or
slightly rising interest rates that characterized the earlier phases of the current
economic expansion. For the year
ending in September, yields on selected
long-term bonds increased from onehalf to 1 percent while short-term rates
increased about 1% percent (chart 7).
These increases, generally speaking,
about matched the accumulated advances recorded during the previous 4%
years of the current cyclical upswing.
A peculiar aspect of the present tight
money situation is the difference that
persists between the discount rate—
the price at which member banks can
borrow from their district banks—and
other short-term market rates. In
the past, whenever the Treasury bill
yield rose above the discount rate, the
Federal Reserve System generally took
quick action to raise the latter and
restore compatibility among short-term
money rates. In the present situation,
the Federal Reserve System has been
reluctant to increase the discount rate
despite the advances in bill yields and
other short-term rates. Consequently,
since January of this year, bill yields
have been consistently above the discount rate, with the spread averaging
a record 0.86 percent in September.

vances posted in 1964 and 1965
(chart 8). Moreover, the latest OBESEC survey of plant and equipipent
expenditures found that the business
community plans to continue a strongadvance through at least the end of
1966. In an effort to moderate the
growth in business fixed investment and
to relieve some of the burden on monetary policy, in early September the
President presented a program that
emphasized fiscal measures. It called
for a 16-month suspension of both the
7-percent investment tax credit and the
accelerated depreciation option on new
buildings and structures.
In contrast to the rise in plant and
equipment expenditures, investment in
residential construction has declined
this year as a result of tight money
conditions. After peaking in the opening quarter, residential investment by
corporations fell slightly during the
second quarter and sharply in the third.

So far during 1966, rapidly rising investment expenditures have outpaced
advances in profits and other components of internal funds. As a result,
corporations have reduced their liquid

dependent upon external financing. As
corporations have stepped up their external financing activities, they have
added to demands on money and credit
markets.
Through September, fixed investment

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

Aside from increased capital expenditures, nonfinancial corporations have
been faced this year with heavy financing demands to accommodate rising
inventories and the recent acceleration
in corporate tax payment schedules.
Through the third quarter of 1966,
nonfarm inventory accumulation averaged $3 billion above the rate for the
full year 1965. At seasonally adjusted
annual rates, corporate inventories were
up $7 billion during the opening quarter,
rose very sharply to $12 billion in the
second, and then fell back to $10
billion for the most recent quarter.
While requirements for corporate
funds have increased considerably since
1965, the advance in corporate cash
flows has slowed down; indeed, since
the first quarter of this year, cash flows
have leveled off as a result of a slight
dip in profits. For the first three
quarters of this year, the increase in
corporate internal funds at annual
rates amounted to only $2.5 billion
more than the volume of internal funds
generated in the full year 1965. In
contrast, fixed investment outlays and
inventory investment so far this year
have increased about $11% billion over
1965. As a result, investment by
corporations in real assets has begun to
exceed the flow of internal funds for the
first time in the current expansion.
Under these conditions, nonfinancial
corporations have stepped up the volume of external financing. Bank loans,
as was noted earlier, have increased
sharply this year, and for the first half
of 1966, nonfinancial corporate borrowings were at a record high annual rate
of $9.2 billion. This compares with
totals of $8.7 billion and $3.6 billion^or
the full years 1965 and 1964. New
bond issues, which recorded an extraordinary increase in the first quarter,
moderated in the second and rose again
in the third. New issues during the
first 6 months of this year were as high
as the total for all of last year.

in home purchases and the demand for
home financing. In addition, after a
very high first quarter, the demand for
automobiles has slackened, so that
credit demands in this area have lessened. Consumer financial patterns
have also altered as consumers have
responded to high interest rates by a
relative shift from claims on financial
intermediaries to security purchases.
Mortgage markets

As is typical of tight money periods,
the mortgage market has been among
the first sectors of the economy to feel
the pressures resulting from shifts in
credit flows. Throughout this year,
severe shortages of funds and rapidly
rising interest rates have brought serious distortions to this market, and the
resulting strains have apparently spread
quickly to the homebuilding and construction industries.
On the basis of preliminary data,
nonfarm mortgage debt rose at an
annual rate of $23.6 billion during the
first three quarters of this year. This
advance is considerably less than the
$28 billion increases recorded in the
full years 1964 and 1965. Nonfarm
mortgage debt, at annual rates, increased $23.2 billion during the first
quarter of this year, rose to $25.2
billion in the second quarter, and fell
back sharply to $22.4 billion in the
summer quarter.
Evidence of pressures in mortgage
markets appeared in late 1965 as rates
on conventional first mortgages began
to rise. The advance in rates on new
homes (FHLBB series) has accelerated
throughout 1966, and over the year
ending this September, it climbed onehalf percent to a record 6.22 percent.
Eates on mortgages backed by FHA
and VA have also increased this year.
These rates were raised from 5% percent
to 5K percent in February, to 5% percent in April, and finally to the 6 perConsumer Finance
cent statutory limit in early October.
The net growth in consumer and However, despite the rapid rise in
mortgage credit has been less this year mortgage rates, yields on bonds and
than in 1965. High interest rates and other marketable securities generally
the reduced availability of mortgage increased even more. Consequently,
funds have occasioned sharp cutbacks flows of funds have changed direction




November 1966

as banks and other nonspecialized
mortgage lenders have sought more
attractive outlets for their funds. The
stringency in mortgage markets has
been intensified in the current situation
as lenders specializing in mortgage
credit have found the inflow of savings
to them sharply reduced. New mortgage loans of all savings and loan
associations were at a $14.7 billion
annual rate during the third quarter of
this year; this may be compared to a
rate of $26 billion for the third quarters
of 1964 and 1965.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

November 1966

The restricted availability of mortgage financing has contributed substantially to a decline in home construction
and purchases. Private nonfarm housing starts, seasonally adjusted, which
were at a 1.5 million annual rate in the
first quarter, declined to a 1.3 million
rate in the second and to about a 1
million rate in the third. In the first
2 months of the third quarter, the
seasonally adjusted annual rate of new
home sales declined to 408,000 units.
This is a sharp decrease from the
573,000 units sold in 1965 and continues
a trend evident in both the first and
second quarters of this year.
In an attempt to relieve some of the
financial plight affecting the homebuilding industry, Congress passed new
legislation in September authorizing
$4% billion in new FNM.A purchases of
FHA and VA mortgages. Also, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board has
rapidly accelerated its advances to
savings and loan associations. During
the first 9 months of 1966, these advances increased $1.2 billion, as com-

17

pared with less than $K billion for the
comparable period of 1965.

other than auto credit has remained
strong in 1966.

Consumer installment credit

Personal finance
In the first half of 1966, a marked
change emerged in the composition of
individuals' financial savings. Largely
in response to the high yields prevailing
in the securities markets, individuals
shifted their investment pattern of
saving from cash and claims on financial
intermediaries into securities. From
January through June of this year,
individuals/ savings shares and time
and savings deposits were $4.6 billion
below the total for the first half of 1965,
while individuals' purchases of securities were $5.7 billion higher. This relative shift into securities involved mainly
increased purchases of Government
bonds, which were $3.8 billion higher in
the first two quarters of this year than
in the same period of 1965. Also, purchases of State and local and corporate
issues recorded significant increases in

Consumer installment credit has continued to rise in 1966, but at a slower
rate than in 1965. From January
through September of this year, the
net change in installment credit was
at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of $6.7 billion. This compares with
an $8 billion increase for the full year
1965 and with increases of $6.1 billion
and $6.4 billion in 1963 and 1964.
The slower advance in installment
credit use has been due mostly to
automobile credit. Auto sales in the
second and third quarters of 1966 were
well below their peaks early in the
year, and the net changes in auto paper
were well under those of 1965. Thus,
for the year to date, the net change in
automobile credit, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.3 billion, was
substantially below the $3.6 billion
increase for 1965, and the lowest rate
since 1962. Installment credit use

Statistics on the sources and uses of nonfarm, nonfmaiicial corporate business have been revised for prior years, and will be published in the near future.
The figures shown here for "internal sources," "undistributed profits," and "capital consumption allowances" differ from those shown for "cash flow net of dividends," "undistributed
profits" and "capital consumption allowances" in the gross corporate product table (p. 5 of the November 1966 SURVEY) for the following reasons: (1) these figures include, and the statistics
in the gross corporate product table exclude, branch profits remitted from foreigners net of corresponding U.S. remittances to foreigners; and (2) these figures exclude, and the gross corporate
product figures include, the internal funds of corporations whose major activity is farming.
3 Includes some categories not shown separately.

Patterns of Output Growth
L HIS is another article in a series on
output growth rates of a large number
of selected products and services. It
expands and brings up to date an analysis that was published in the September 1964 SURVEY.1
The present study includes 447 items,
72 more than the previous tabulation.
All of the twenty 2-digit SIC major
manufacturing industries are represented except instruments and related
products and miscellaneous manufactures; industry representation, however,
varies widely. The individual products
for which growth rates are presented
account for roughly two-thirds of the

SURVEY: January 1953, April 1957, May 1959, and September
1961.

production index.
Basis of classification
The complete list of products and
services is given in table A, which is
divided into two parts, a basic list and
a supplementary one. The basic list
contains 381 items for which production
data are available for all the years from
1948 to 1965. Products of manufacturing are presented first, followed by
products of mining and "services," a
catchall. Within manufacturing, products have been grouped by 2-digit SIC
industries and are arranged within each
industry according to decreasing size of
the average annual growth rate from
1948 to 1965. The supplementary list
includes an additional 66 products—

many of them relatively new—for which
output figures are incomplete. These
products are listed in the same industry
order as in the basic table.
The basic table presents production
data for 1948 and 1960 and for the
years from 1963 through 1965. Average annual rates of growth for each
product are shown for the entire
1948-65 period and for three subperiods:
1948-53, 1953-60, and 1960-65.2 The
last four columns in the table rank
each of the 381 items in the basic list
according to the size of the average
2. Average annual growth rates, calculated from data for
the beginning and ending years, are derived by the use of
the following formula: P2=Pi (1+0 S where Pz is the terminal year production; Pi is the beginning year production;
r is the rate of growth; and t is the number of years (terminal
year minus beginning year). When 1948 or 1965 data were
not available, data for 1947 or 1949 were substituted for 1948
and 1964 for 1965.

annual growth rates for each of the
four time periods. In the previous
SURVEY article, the products were
listed according to the size of the
average annual rate of growth for the
period 1948-63.
The list is partial and represents only
a very small fraction of the total number
of individual products in the economy;
it is limited to items for which consistent production data, measured in
physical units, are available.
A number of important qualifications
regarding the data should be kept in
mind, as was noted in earlier articles.
The list is particularly deficient for
producers' durable equipment. The
basis of classification is not consistent;
some items are defined broadly and
others narrowly. The list excludes
many products that are known to be
new and growing rapidly—for example,
computers and stereophonic phonographs—for which data are not available. Finally, the output of any item
is measured by a simple count of
physical units; no account is taken of
changes in product mix or quality.
Growth rate patterns: 1948-65

Over the entire postwar period, 17
percent of the 381 items in the basic
list had annual growth rates of 10
percent or more; about 60 percent had
growth rates up to 10 percent, while 23
percent showed output declines over
the period. Table 1 provides a freTable 1.—Frequency Distribution of Average Annual Growth Rates for 381 Products, Based on Change From 1948 to 1965

Variation in rates over time

Although real GNP grew at an average
annual rate of 3.8 percent over the 17
years from 1948 to 1965, the growth
rate was not uniform. From 1948 to
1953, which includes the Korean war,
the average rate was 5 percent per year.
The rate of growth slowed considerably
from 1953 through 1960 to an average
of 2.4 percent per year. However, as a
result of the sustained and rapid expansion since early 1961, the growth rate
accelerated to an average of 4% percent
for the 1960-65 period; inclusion of 1966
in the calculation would raise the average to approximately 4.9 percent per
year.

have encountered increasing difficulty
from the 4% percent interest ceiling on
long-term bonds, recent Federal debt
operations have been confined to 1to 5-year maturity classes. This emphasis on short-term issues has reduced
the average maturity of marketable
debt to 4 years, 11 months in fiscal
1966—a drop of 5 months.
Although net Treasury borrowing
this year has been considerably less
than was forecast in the President's
January Economic Report, federally
sponsored (but not guaranteed) credit
agencies have sharply accelerated their
debt-issuing activities. A large part of
this year's new issues have gone to
support the failing mortgage market,
but this activity has no doubt added
to pressures in financial markets, since
agency borrowing competes with private borrowing for scarce loanable
funds. For the first 8 months of this
year, new security issues by these
agencies amounted to $4.9 billion.
This compares with $1.7 billion and
$0.7 billion in new issues for comparable
periods in 1965 and 1964. In this regard, it may be noted that the President's fiscal program of September
proposed to review all Federal agency
security sales and—barring substantial
improvement in money market conditions—to cancel sales of FNMA participation certificates for the remainder
J
of 1966.
State and local finance
During the first 9 months of this
year, both revenues and expenditures
of State and local governments continued their steep, long-run advance.
Despite tight money conditions and
sharply rising interest costs, gross
proceeds from sales of new securities
were at record levels during the first
half of this year, but because of a
relatively sharp decline in July, some
slackening was apparent in the third
quarter. Through September, gross
proceeds from new issues amounted to
nearly $8.5 billion, roughly the same as
for the comparable period in 1965 and
slightly higher than the $8.1 billion in
the first 9 months of 1964. The slackening in new issues in the third quarter
of this year probably reflects in large
part some attempt by State and municipal governments to alter the timing of
their borrowing in hopes of obtaining
more favorable terms at a later date.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

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

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

THE NATIONAL INCOME AND
PRODUCT ACCOUNTS OF THE
UNITED STATES, 1929-1965
Statistical Tables
THIS VOLUME contains the complete set of national income and
product tables that resulted from the comprehensive benchmark
revisions connected with the incorporation of the 1958 economic
censuses into the national income and product estimates. Summary
results of these revisions, with explanations, were first published in
the August 1965 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
In the present report, previously published statistics for 1963,
1964, and 1965 have been updated to take into account the annual
revisions of the estimates that are customarily made in the July issue
of the SURVEY.
81 tables—annual, quarterly, monthly—covering 165 pages.
Price, $1.00 Orders may be placed with the
