  • the BUSINESS SITUATIONIn October, man-hours, personal in-

    come, and industrial productionindicated some further slowdown in therate of economic advance, but pricepressures continued strong. The frag-mentary evidence now available suggeststhat the expansion in GNP will slackenin the current quarter.

    A HE scattered evidence now avail-able for the opening month of the fourthquarter appears to confirm some furtherweakening in the economy's forwardmomentum, even though price pres-sures continue to be severe. In October,the labor market continued to showsigns of softening as employment re-corded only a moderate increase, andweekly hours of work and overtimehours in manufacturing declined; un-employment remained virtually un-changed following its sharp rise inSeptember. Personal income showed avery'small increase and industrial pro-duction declined for the third consecu-tive month. According to advancereports, which have been subject toconsiderable revision, retail sales in-creased only moderately in October,partly because of some letup in salesof new cars.

    The evidence now available is toofragmentary to permit definite con-clusions about changes in businessactivity in the fourth quarter. However,with man-hours, personal income, andindustrial production signaling lessstrength, and with important strikesexerting a dampening impact on eco-nomic activity, it is likely that theexpansion in GNP will be less in thecurrent quarter than in the third.

    In the assessment of the outlook forfinal sales, consumer spending, whichhas behaved erratically over the past

    year, is a notable uncertainty. Personalincome and retail sales have started offat a rate only a little above the thirdquarter average. Auto demand is ex-hibiting less buoyancy, and reports onconsumer buying intentions indicatesome weakening in spending for themonths ahead. These factors do not

    suggest an acceleration in the rate ofincrease of consumption expenditures.

    Fixed business investment may addless to final sales in the fourth than inthe third quarter. According to theOBE-SEC survey conducted lastAugust, capital outlays by business arenot scheduled to increase. However, anew survey will appear next month.With stringent money and credit condi-tions continuing, residential investmentis likely to decline further. Governmentpurchases should add less to the fourthquarter than to the third quarter ad-vance in GNP; the latter included the$3 billion pay raise for Governmentemployees. A quarterly interpolation ofthe Federal budget estimates suggeststhat a decline in defense expenditureswill more than offset an increase innondefense outlays. Data are not yetavailable to project State and localpurchases or net exports, but thechanges here are not likely to have anunusual impact on the overall rise infinal sales. In contrast, inventorychange, for which data are also lacking,may greatly affect the final outcomeof fourth quarter GNP. Although in-ventories are always difficult to assess,from the present vantage point it seemsmore likely than not that inventorieswill contribute less to the increase inGNP in the current quarter than theydid in the third.

    Revised third quarter GNPRevised estimates of GNP put the

    third quarter advance at a seasonallyadjusted annual rate of $18 billion, aslight upward revision from the pre-liminary figure published last month.Although the total was not altered sig-nificantly, there were some changes inits composition. Last month's prelim-

    inary estimates placed the third quarterincrease in final sales at $15 billion andthe increase in the rate of inventoryaccumulation at $2% billion. Accord-ing to the revised estimates, the rise infinal sales has been lowered to about$14% billion and the change in inventoryinvestment increased to $3% billion.

    The third quarter increase in inven-tory accumulation compares with virtu-

    ally no change in the second quarterand a decline of nearly $4 billion in thefirst quarter of the year. Nearly all ofthe third quarter change in inventoryaccumulation was in durable goods, par-ticularly at the retail level. As pointedout last month, the rise appears to berelated to the current tapering in con-sumer durable goods spending.

    The revision raised the increase incurrent dollar GNP fractionally, to anannual rate of 7% percent. As measuredby the implicit deflator, prices rose 5%percent, and physical volume 2% per-centthe latter a little more than the2 percent rise indicated last month.

    Easing in labor demand

    Some letup in labor market pressureswas confirmed last month as the un-employment rate, at 3.9 percent, re-mained essentially unchanged, followingits sharp rise from 3.5 percent in Augustto 4.0 percent in September. Joblessrates remained at about their Septemberlevels for both Negroes and whites andfor most major groups of workers, i.e.,married men, adult men and women,and teenagers.

    Growth in nonfarm employment con-tinued to show signs of slowing inOctober (chart 1). Measured from theaverage employment level of the sum-mer quarter, nonfarm industries added260,000 workers to their payrolls. Thiscompares with increases averaging810,000 in the first, 570,000 in thesecond, and 375,000 in the third quarterof this year. Nearly all of the Octoberemployment advance centered in serviceindustries and in wholesale and retailtrade.

    Average weekly hours of work forproduction and nonsupervisory workers,which had held steady at 37.8 hoursfrom March through September,dropped to 37.5 hours last month. Allthe major industry groups except fi-nance, insurance, and real estate re-corded declines. In manufacturingindustries, the average workweek fellfrom 40.8 to 40.5 hours, while overtimehours declined from 3.6 to 3.4 hours.Overtime in manufacturing also declinedone-tenth of an hour in September.

    Personal income rise slowsAfter recording gains averaging more

    than $5 billion during the first 8 monthsof this year, the expansion in personalincome slowed to $3# billion in Sep-tember (revised) and to $2% billion inOctober. The slower expansion in per-sonal income has centered in wage andsalary disbursements, which rose only$1% billion last month. Governmentpayrolls advanced $% billion, but privatepayrolls were up only $1 billion.

    Within the private sector, a good-sized gain of $1 Ji billion was recorded inthe service industries. In the nonmanu-facturing commodity-producing indus-tries, wage and salary disbursementswere up slightly, but this was offset inmanufacturing industries where, as theresult of a small decline in employmentand a shorter workweek, payrolls re-corded their first dip in 18 months.The distributive industries recordedtheir first decline this year. Wages andsalaries fell by about $% billion, as theemployment gain was more then offsetby reduced weekly hours of work.

    Industrial output slips further

    Industrial output declined for thethird consecutive month in October.The Federal Reserve Index of industrialproduction fell to 173.3 (1957-59 =100), down three-fourths of 1 percentfrom its July peak. Reductions in out-put were recorded in durable and non-durable goods manufacturing and inmining; these more than offset anincrease in output by the utilities. Inmanufacturing, most of the decline wasattributable to durables, where outputwas lower for motor vehicles, electricalmachinery, instruments, and stone,clay, and glass products.

    Recent changes in auto demand

    Retail sales of new cars have shownconsiderable variation over the past12 months. Having exceeded a season-ally adjusted annual rate of 10 millioncars (both domestic and imports) forthe first time in the third quarter of1968, sales fell in each of the next twoquarters to a rate of 9.4 million.

    then rose to 9.7 million in the secondquarter and held at this rate in thethird. Although sales of domestic andimported cars fell relatively the sameamount in the 6 months ending lastMarch, imports rose faster than do-mestics in the 6-month period endingin September. Imports accounted forover 11 percent of total sales in therecent June-September period, as com-pared with 10 percent a year earlier.

    Sales of new domestic cars moved upsharply during the third quarter ofthis year, to reach a seasonally ad-justed annual rate of almost 9} millionin Septemberthe highest monthlyfigure in over 3 years. Although thisrate was not sustained during Octoberpartly due to strike-induced shortagesof certain modelssales continued highand registered an annual rate of 8%million cars.

    Producers started the 1970 modelyear at a high level of output. Duringthe summer, assemblies were at aseasonally adjusted annual rate of9 million units, as compared with8 million in the second quarter.However, in the latter part of the thirdquarter and in October, strikes atseveral plants reduced production byabout 100,000 units.Price pressures continue strong

    Inflationary pressures continuedstrong last month and the WholesalePrice Index recorded its sharpest risesince last June. After increasing 0.1percent in July and August, and 0.2percent in September, wholesale pricesrose 0.4 percent in October. All oflast month's increase centered in in-dustrial commodities. Prices for farmproducts declinedfor the fourth con-secutive monthbut this was offsetby prices for processed foods andfeeds, which were higher after decliningin both August and September. In-creases were widespread among theindustrial commodities. An unusuallysharp rise of 2.3 percent was recordedin transportation equipment prices,most of which occurred in the motorvehicle component.

    Consumer prices rose about 0.5percent in September (the latest monthfor which data are available); thiswas a little more than the rise in

    August, but about the same as theaverage advance during the first 8months of this year. Services andnondurable commodities accounted forall of the September increase. Mostof the rise in nondurable commoditiesoccurred in apparel, while the risein food prices slowed noticeably.

    Credit restraint severe

    During October, the monetary au-thorities maintained very stringent con-ditions in money and credit markets.Continuing the pattern that has beenevident since last July, most broadmeasures of monetary policy registeredlittle change. Total member bank re-serves, seasonally adjusted, dippedslightly last month, member bank bor-rowing increased, excess reserves de-clined, and net borrowed reserves aver-aged $1 billion, up from $830 millionin September. The money stock (cur-rency and private demand deposits)

    rose slightly, and time deposits, re-flecting the continued contraction incertificate of deposit funds, declined.

    Commercial bank credit, seasonallyadjusted, was unchanged in October.Bank loans, notably security loans, ad-vanced at a more rapid pace than thatwhich had prevailed since midyear, butlarger declines were recorded in bankinvestments in U.S. Government andother securities.

    After rising sharply in September,interest rates and bond yields respondedfavorably to renewed peace rumors andto expectations that a slowing in thepace of economic activity would permitsome near-term letup in credit re-straints. Interest rates declined duringthe first 3 weeks of October, but asoptimism concerning lower rates faded,they turned about and moved upwardduring late October and early Novem-ber. By mid-November, most interestrates and bond yields were very closeto their levels at the end of September.

    Corporate Profits, Internal Funds, and Investment

    Preliminary figures for the third quar-ter show a sharp drop in corporate bookprofits from the second quarter, and acontinuation of the decline in profits asmeasured for national income purposes.The latter decline, which started lastfall, was reflected in a moderate reduc-tion in internal sources of funds of non-financial corporations. Investment out-lays of these corporations moved up in1969, and the excess of fixed investmentover internal funds has been high byhistorical standards.

    CORPORATE profits as measured fornational income purposes dipped $Kbillion from the second quarter to atotal of $88% billion at seasonallyadjusted annual rates in the third.This profits measurewhich is before-

    tax and excludes inventory profits andlosseshas declined steadily since thethe fourth quarter of 1968, and is nowdown $2 billion, or 2 percent, from thepeak attained in the summer quarterof 1968.

    In the third quarter, the drop wasconfined to nonfinancial corporations,whose profits fell $1 billion to a totalof $75^ billion; financial institutions'profits continued to rise and reacheda total of over $13 billion. Profits fellmost in nondurable goods manufactur-ing, and were also off in the "all otherindustries" group. They were higherin durable goods manufacturing andin the transportation, communications,and public utility group.

  • 12was also evident earlier this year.However, in the first half of 1969,profits of durable goods manufacturershad declined and nondurable goodsprofits had advanced.

    The decline shown by corporateprofits (including the inventory valu-ation adjustment) over the past yearwas in marked contrast with the be-havior of "book" profits, which con-tinued to rise last fall and winter, wereessentially unchanged in the secondquarter, and then dropped sharply inthe third. The different movement inthe two profit measures reflected thefact that earlier this year book profitswere inflated by an understatement ofcost of goods sold. This stems fromthe use of first-in-first-out accountingin an environment of accelerating in-creases in prices of goods included ininventories, particularly raw materials.When the rate of advance in rawmaterials prices slowed in the thirdquarter, the understatement of costswas much reduced, and book profits

    declined towards the level of corporateprofits as measured for national incomepurposes.

    The fall in book profits in the thirdquarter amounted to $3 billion andbrought the total down to $92% billion.Approximately $1% billion of the thirdquarter drop in book profits was ab-sorbed by lower income tax liabili-ties. With dividends rising about $%billion, book undistributed profits fell$2% billion.Costs up sharply

    The decline in the profits of non-financial corporations over the pastyear occurred despite an increase insales. The reduction was entirely due toa narrowing of profit margins as unitlabor and nonlabor costs rose fasterthan selling prices (chart 8). Sincethe third quarter 1968 peak in profits,prices per unit of constant-dollar grosscorporate product increased 4 percent,unit labor costs rose more than 6percent, and unit nonlabor costs wereup 5 percent. In consequence, profits perunit of gross corporate output fell 6percent over this period.

    The narrowing of profit margins ofnonfinancial corporations over the pastyear marked an intensification of thetrend which began at the end of 1965(chart 9). From the fourth quarter ofthat year to the third quarter of 1968,unit prices rose at an average annualrate of 2% percent, while unit laborcosts were up 3K percent and unit non-labor costs rose 3% percent. The declinein unit profits during this periodaveraged 1% percent a year.

    Before-tax profit margins, expressedas a percent of gross corporate product,fell from a peak of 17.3 percent in thefourth quarter of 1965 to 15.5 percentby the third quarter of 1968 and to14 percent in the third quarter of thisyear.

    The pressure on after-tax profitmargins has been even more pro-nounced. The third quarter 1969 after-tax unit profit of 8.3 cents was 20 per-cent below the peak attained in late1965, while before-tax unit profits wereoff only about 9 percent. The greatertax burden in 1969 as compared with1965 reflected mainly the imposition ofthe surtax in 1968.

    Investment exceeds internal fundsThe internal funds of nonfinancial

    corporations fell almost $1 billion overthe past year, as a $4 billion reductionin undistributed profits (including IVA)more than offset a $3% billion increasein capital consumption allowances. Overthe same period, corporate plant andequipment outlays moved up sharply,

Reflecting these divergentmovements, the ratio of internal sourcesto fixed investment outlays declinedfrom 96% percent in the third quarterof 1968 to 82 percent in the thirdquarter of this year. Most of this dropoccurred in the first quarter.

    Inventory and other working capitalneeds also moved up sharply over thepast year. The conjunction of a rapidincrease in investment and workingcapital needs and a modest decline ininternal sources led corporations toincrease their borrowing during thefirst half of 1969, and to reduce the rateat which they acquired liquid assets.The step-up in borrowing was centeredin the shorter term categories: borrow-ing from banks and commercial paper.Bond flotations were up only moder-ately and mortgage borrowing declined.

    The slowdown in total liquid assetacquisitions was accompanied by a largeshift in the composition of liquid assetportfolios. There occurred a heavyliquidation of time deposits and a shiftto open-market paper and short-termmunicipal obligations. These changeswere made in large part in order tomaximize yields.

    Note on Revisions in the Sources and Uses ofFunds, Nonfarm Nonfinandal Corporations

    Revised statistics for the sources and uses of funds of nonfarmnonfinancial corporations may be found on pages 14 and 15;annual figures are shown from 1946 through 1968 and quarterlyfigures at seasonally adjusted annual rates from the first quarterof 1952 through the second quarter of 1969. These statisticsreflect the comprehensive revisions in the sectoral allocation ofinvestment and in the financial flow estimates introduced by theBoard of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in theNovember 1969 Federal Reserve Bulletin. The revision also bringsthe estimates of purchases of physical assets and internal sourcesinto line with the revised national income and product accountdata published in the July 1969 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
