  17.               
  18.   - The Securities and Exchange Commission charged four of Japan's  
  19.     largest brokerage houses Thursday with violating U.S. securities   
  20.     laws, and three of the firms agreed to settle.  The SEC filed  
  21.     complaints against Nikko Securities, Daiwa Securities America,  
  22.     Nomura Securities International, and Yamaichi Securities.  
  23.     Each brokerage firm except Nikko agreed to settle. The SEC began 
  24.     a probe in August 1991 after the four Japanese firms admitted to  
  25.     reimbursing big clients in Japan for losses. In its investigation, 
  26.     the SEC found violations of U.S. securities laws.                
  27.      
  28.   - The supply of M2 fell by $500 million.  M3 rose $11.4 billion and M1       
  29.     was up $1 billion. Wall Street was expecting M2 to be unchanged and 
  30.     M3 to be up $2.4 billion.  
  31.     
  32.   - Thousands of General Motors Corp. workers face layoffs next week      
  33.     because GM's Jobs Bank fund has run out of money. The Jobs Bank, which 
  34.     once had $1.7 billion, was created for employees represented by the  
  35.     United Auto Workers union who were laid off more than 36 weeks since 
  36.     September 1990. Those employees were called back to work and given 
  37.     their full pay even if there was no specific job for them to fill.                                     
  38.   
  39.   - Initial unemployment claims rose 4,000 to 325,000, in the latest           
  40.     reporting week.  The figure is in line with expectations.                       
  41.                                                                                 
  42.   - Sales of stock, and bond and income mutual funds, totaled $36.9 billion    
  43.     in January, according to the Investment Company Institute.   That 
  44.     compares with total sales of $38.8 billion in December and $32.6 billion 
  45.     a year ago. Net new sales of stock funds in January were $8.7 billion, 
  46.     compared with $7.5 billion in December and $7.0 billion in January 1992.  
  47.     Net new sales of bond and income funds were $9.7 billion in January versus 
  48.     $5.1 billion in December and $9.2 billion in January 1992.  Net new sales 
  49.     exclude reinvested dividends, and subtract redemptions. The liquid asset 
  50.     ratio for equity funds was 9.1% in January, up from 9.0% in December and 
  51.     7.9% January 1992.  Assets of all mutual funds totaled $1.670 trillion in 
  52.     January, compared with $1.6 trillion in December.
