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.

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 Consumer Spending Nominal retail sales are estimated to have risen 0.3 percent in November. 1
In the retail
control category, which excludes
spending at automotive dealers and at building material and supply stores, sales also increased 0.3 percent.
However, growth rates for
previous months were revised down sharply:
Retail control now is
estimated to have declined 0.7 percent in September 0.3 percent),
and 0.4 percent in October
Growth in total retail
(rather than
(rather than 0.2 percent).
sales was revised down from 0.6 percent to
0.3 percent in September and was little changed in October. downward
The
revisions to spending in September and October occurred
mainly in nondurable goods. The revised figures imply that real personal consumption expenditures in the third quarter were about $2 billion rate,
(annual
1987 dollars) below the level shown in the preliminary
estimate of GDP.
Moreover, consumer spending in the fourth quarter
now appears to be running lower than the already-weak performance projected in the December Greenbook. Among the components dealers rose 0.6
of spending, retail sales at automotive
percent last month and were revised upward in both
September and October.
Sales at building material and supply stores
fell a steep 2.2 percent and were revised down in September and

October.
Within the retail control category, sales at general
merchandise, apparel, and furniture outlets (the GAF grouping)-where expenditures tend to be more discretionary--were revised down to show even steeper drops in both September and October; they advanced 0.6 percent in November, but retraced only a small part of the prior decline. The early responses (315 of the roughly 500 households who typically report) to the University of Michigan indicate little change in consumer attitudes in December from the low level reached in November.
Assessments of personal finances, expected business
conditions, and buying conditions for large household appliances all remained quite unfavorable.
Households also reported that their
willingness to use credit or savings stayed at the low levels that have prevailed since October.
Expected inflation for both a year
ahead and 5 to 10 years ahead dropped about 1/2 percentage point in the preliminary reading--to 4.0 and 4.9 percent, respectively. Retail Inventories Retail inventories rose sharply again in October.
In current-
cost terms, stocks in the retail trade sector increased at an annual rate of $33.6 billion, following a $35.9 billion accumulation in September.
2
Slightly more than half of the October retail
inventory buildup was in stocks held by auto dealers ($18.3 billion).
Among the non-auto retail establishments, the
largest accumulation in October was reported by general merchandisers ($6.9 billion).
Stocks held by furniture and
appliance outlets, building materials suppliers, and food stores
2. The September accumulation was revised down from the $42.9 billion annual rate indicated in the preliminary report. The bulk of the downward revision was in stocks of apparel, food, and miscellaneous nondurable goods.
-3rose only moderately, and inventories at apparel stores showed a small drop. With declines in sales, the inventory-sales ratios for most Excluding
types of retail establishments rose markedly in October.
auto dealers, the ratio rose to 1.51 months, close to the recent peak posted in January of this year. Prices The consumer price index rose 0.4 percent in November--about in line with the Greenbook forecast--after an increase of only 0.1 percent in the previous month.
Food and energy prices jumped in
November, and the index for items other than food apd energy moved up 0.3 percent, after an unusually small increase of only 0.1 percent in October. The November rise in food prices was 0.6 percent.
A surge in
the index for fruits and vegetables accounted for most of this increase; lettuce prices, which were affected by the whitefly infestation in California and Arizona, were up 45 percent.
Fairly
sharp increases also were reported in the indexes for dairy products and for cereals and bakery products, but prices of other grocery foods either rose only slightly in November or declined.
The index
for food away from home, which accounts for nearly 40 percent of total food in the CPI, was up only 0.1 percent for the third month in a row; its twelve-month rate of change dropped below 3 percent for the first time since mid-1965. Energy prices rose 0.8 percent in November.
Gasoline prices
turned up last month, and the price of fuel oil increased sharply for the third month in a row.
Upward pressures on energy prices
through the autumn have been largely the reflection of a rise in
-4crude oil prices that began around midyear and extended through midOctober.
Since October, however, oil prices have dropped back,
fully reversing their earlier increase; the pressures at retail thus seem likely to abate. The November pickup in prices of items other than food and energy was concentrated in the commodities category, which rose 0.4 percent after declining 0.1 percent in October.
Apparel prices
were up 1.0 percent last month, after two months of decline. Tobacco prices also rose sharply last month, and a further big increase may be in store in December, given the large price hike recently announced by manufacturers.
By contrast, prices of
household durables were unchanged for the third month in a row; car prices were up a moderate 0.2 percent, and the prices of furniture and major household appliances fell. The CPI for services less energy increased 0.3 percent in November, the same as in the previous month.
The cost of airfares
turned up sharply in November, but auto finance charges continued to decline and the heavily weighted rental indexes were up only about 1/4 percentage point, on balance. Producer prices of finished goods rose 0.2 percent in November, held down by the food and energy components.
Prices of other
finished goods were up 0.3 percent, about the average monthly pace over the preceding year. The PPI for finished foods edged down 0.1 percent in November. As expected, prices climbed for fresh vegetables, but large offsetting declines occurred for fresh fruits, meats, and poultry. Energy prices were unchanged, on average, in the November PPI, after three months of increases.
Refinery prices of gasoline and fuel oil
-5rose further, reflecting previous increases in crude oil costs, but residential electricity declined. Excluding food and energy items, the PPI for finished consumer goods rose 0.4 percent in November.
Manufacturers' prices of cars
and light trucks were up 1.3 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. These indexes were 4-1/2 percent and 6 percent, respectively, above the levels of a year earlier.
The PPI for capital equipment rose
0.2 percent in November--about the average monthly rate over the past year--despite the increases for cars and light trucks.
Prices
of heavy trucks dropped back, and increases for other capital equipment items remained small. At earlier stages of processing, prices of intermediate materials
(nonfood, nonenergy) edged up 0.1 percent in November and
have been about unchanged over the past six months.
The PPI for
crude nonfood materials less energy fell 1.8 percent further, mainly reflecting declines for metal scrap.
