Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing). 2 A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY Industrial Production Industrial production increased 0.8 percent in July after upward revised increases of 0.4 percent in June and 0.7 percent in May. July were widespread among products and materials.
Gains in
Output of consumer
goods was up 0.7 percent, with production increases for light trucks and consumer nondurables more than offsetting declines in auto assemblies and in the production of home goods.
Output of business equipment was up 0.9
percent, as strong gains continued for construction and mining, manufacturing, and commercial equipment. healthy advance.
Materials production also registered another
Overall, the July index of industrial production was
nearly 4 percent above a year earlier. Producer Price Index The producer price index for finished goods rose 0.2 percent in July, the same as in June.
Food prices declined in July at all stages of process-
ing, mainly reflecting lower prices for meats and for fresh fruits and vegetables.
However, energy prices surged.
Excluding food and energy, the
broad patterns of price change were similar to those of most other recent months, with small changes for finished goods, but a more appreciable rise for materials, the prices of which were up 0.5 percent at the intermediate level and nearly 3 percent at the crude level.
Steep increases in nonenergy
materials prices were evident for metals, cotton, and paper. Retail Sales Retail sales increased 0.8 percent in July, after an upward revised 1.4 percent advance in June.
Spending last month was boosted by higher
nominal outlays at automotive dealers and at gasoline stations-where prices have risen sharply over the past few months--but there also were increases for most other types of stores. Outlays at the "retail control" group of stores, which excludes automotive dealers, nonconsumer stores, and gasoline stations, increased 0.3 percent in July.
In addition, there were widespread revisions to the
figures for earlier months, with the new data showing increases of 0.3 percent in May and 0.8 percent in June; the previous estimates had shown essentially no change over the two-month period.
Nominal spending now
appears to have been well-maintained in recent months at stores specializing in general merchandise, apparel, and "other durables", although real outlays have been damped by higher prices for apparel and some other items. Furniture and appliance sales, although lackluster through late spring, ticked up in July.
The revisions to the data suggest the possibility of a
noticeable upward adjustment in the figure for real consumer spending when revised NIPA data for the second quarter are released on August 21. Manufacturing and Trade Inventories Retail inventories in current-cost terms rose in June at an annual rate of $34 billion, following a $25 billion accumulation in May.
With a
1.4 percent gain in sales, the retailers' inventory-sales ratio in June remained at 1.58.
Excluding auto dealers, the ratio edged up from 1.47 to
1.48--near the upper end of the range set over the preceding 12 months. Stock increases were widespread in both durable and nondurable categories.
In addition to a $9 billion rise in automotive stocks, there
were accumulations in lumber and building materials, apparel, and general
-3-
merchandise stocks.
Retail apparel inventories have risen appreciably over
the past few months as higher prices have cut into real purchases, and the inventory-sales ratio for apparel currently is near its 1982 high. Total manufacturing and trade inventories expanded at an annual rate of $31 billion in June.
For the second quarter as a whole, stocks increased
$45 billion, about the same as in the first quarter.
The inventory-
sales ratio for all manufacturing and trade fell slighly from 1.50 in May to 1.49 in June.

U.S. Merchandise Trade Through June The U.S. merchandise trade deficit in June was $15.7 billion, not seasonally adjusted, ($189 billion at an annual rate) according to figures released by the Commerce Department (Census CIF basis). deficit was larger than in any previous month of 1987.
June's
These figures
include improved data on trade with Canada (see below).
For the second
quarter, the deficit (nsa) was larger than in the first quarter.
See
the table below. Exports increased strongly in both June and the second quarter, but imports rose by more.
The strength of exports in June and
in the second quarter was spread over most categories of manufactured goods.
The rise in imports was in both oil and non-oil categories.
Oil imports
which account for about 10 percent of total imports)
expanded at a rate about twice that of nonoil imports.
The volume of
oil imports jumped 12 percent in June and averaged 7.2 million barrels per day (nsa) compared with 6.2 mbd imported in May.
The average price
of imported oil increased by nearly 60 cents per barrel in June; excluding insurance and freight charges, the average price of imported oil was about $17.70 per barrel in June compared with $16.23 per barrel in March and $12.94 per barrel in December 1986. Adjustment to Exports for Undocumented Shipments to Canada Beginning with the August press release, adjustments have been added to Census-basis export data for undocumented exports to Canada. These adjustments are available for the months of 1987 and for the years 1986 and earlier.
Balance-of-payments (BOP) basis trade data
-13-
(and GNP data) have always included estimates for these undocumented exports to Canada.
This new Census-basis adjustment will improve the
BOP-basis estimate because actual monthly data from the Canadian authorities will now be used instead of estimated values based on the last annual reconciliation.
The figures shown in column 8 of the table
below are the BOP estimates of undocumented exports to Canada that were included in the June BOP press release (and the July GNP press release).
The BOP estimates will be revised as necessary in the next
press release (August 26) on quarterly trade, BOP basis, to conform with the new Census-basis adjustments.
