INTERNATIONAL financial developments
as well as domestic economic conditions have
strongly influenced interest rates in leading
countries during the past year. In part
because of increased market adaptation to
the wider convertibility of currencies reestablished nearly three years ago, international flows of funds responded to differences in interest rates and credit conditions
more rapidly and on a larger scale than in
previous postwar years. Some countries adjusted their policy practices in an attempt to
moderate these flows.

and from speculation on possible changes
in currency values. Some of this speculation took the form of international interest
arbitrage movements without forward cover
of any exchange risks. As a result, the

INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL FLOWS

Increased international flows of short-term
capital after mid-1960 at first reflected the
sharp widening of interest rate differentials
that resulted from previous increases in central bank discount rates and money market
rates in the United Kingdom and Germany
and from easing of market rates in the
United States. This divergence in interest
rate trends developed last year as the United
States was experiencing a mild recession
while boom conditions continued to prevail
in Europe. Partly because of the increased
tendency for funds to move in response to
rate differentials, U.S. interest rates did not
decline last year to as low levels as in other
postwar recessions. With the economic upturn this year there has not been the prompt
and sharp rise in rates that ensued in previous periods of recovery.
There were also flows to and among
European markets resulting from international uncertainties, such as those relating

ments to be self-limiting, although it continued to manifest itself to some extent, for
many months did not operate with sufficient
strength to eliminate the incentive to move
funds. This is illustrated in the incentives
to arbitrage between Treasury bill rates in
the New York and London markets, as
shown in the chart on the preceding page.
Since last autumn, some leading countries
have taken steps intended to limit recurrence
of destabilizing short-term capital movements and other steps to help restore equilibrium in international payments. In the
United States, where industrial production
and employment continued to decline until
January, the Federal Reserve maintained its
discount rates at the 3 per cent level of September 1960, and it endeavored to supply
reserves to banks in a manner that would

promote credit expansion while minimizing
downward pressure on short-term interest
rates.
In Germany, where boom conditions continued, the Federal Bank discount rate was
reduced. Bank reserve requirements also
were eased repeatedly.
In Britain, where economic activity and
levels of resource utilization remained high,
and long-term interest rates continued their
general upward movement, the discount rate
of the Bank of England was reduced late last
year to discourage inflows of funds. In July
1961, however, this rate was raised as part
of a program designed to stem recent outflows of funds and to help eliminate a balance-of-payments deficit.
NORTH AMERICA

\fter moving similarly for many years, inerest rates in the United States and in
Tanada have shown somewhat divergent
endencies since last autumn. Although
ates in both countries declined through
he summer of 1960, Canadian rates rose
iharply in the latter part of the year while
hose in the United States remained relaively stable. More recently, rates in Canida have declined from the levels reached
n the latter part of 1960.
United States. The general level of inerest rates in the United States rose during
he economic upswing from mid-195 8 to
;arly 1960 to the highest levels since the
1920's, then declined through August as
economic activity declined. During the rest
af 1960 and the first months of 1961, most
rates fluctuated within a narrow range.
Since late winter, market yields on private and on State and local government
securities have tended to move up, as economic recovery progressed and as the market absorbed a large volume of long-term

893

borrowing, particularly by corporations.
And after mid-May, yields on intermediateand long-term U.S. Government securities
rose fairly sharply. For neither private nor
government securities, however, has the rise
been as sudden or sharp as it was in 1958,
when yields had fallen much lower.
Rates on short-term U.S. Government
securities continued to fluctuate within a
narrow range through early August.
In 1960 the Federal Reserve followed
a policy of ease to counter recessionary
tendencies and encourage expansion. This
policy was continued into the summer of
1961, as recovery from the mild recession
progressed. The Federal Reserve also had
to take account of a balance-of-payments
deficit and, last year, of a gold outflow. To
minimize downward pressures on short-term
interest rates, declines in which might have
accentuated outward movements of shortterm capital, Federal Reserve open market
operating procedures were modified.
In late summer and fall of 1960, a large
part of the bank reserves needed to meet
seasonal requirements and offset the reserve
effects of the gold outflow were supplied by
means other than the purchase of Treasury
bills, notably through granting authority for
member banks to count vault cash as reserves
and through some purchases of short-term
securities other than bills. Later, when it
was necessary to absorb reserves, this was
accomplished by the sale of bills. Beginning
in February 1961 open market operations
were extended to longer term U.S. Government securities.
Canada. There was a marked reversal
in Canadian interest rate movements in the
latter part of 1960. After having declined
rapidly from August 1959, yields on all
maturities reached low levels in mid-September 1960, then moved sharply upward

in the next three months despite economic
slack evidenced by growing unemployment.
In mid-September the 3-month Treasury bill
yield was about Vi percentage point below
that on U.S. bills. By early December it was
about l'/2 percentage points above U.S.
yields. Yields on government issues with
longer maturities rose more than V2 percentage point during this period, and the difference between Canadian and U.S. yields
widened.
The beginning of the rise in rates coincided with the introduction of a large issue
of long-term government bonds in midSeptember. The issue found little public
interest, and the major part was purchased or
financed by the commercial banking system.
Although the money supply rose rather
sharply, upward pressure on rates was sustained by sizable refinancing issues and by

894

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

the general public's preference for more
liquid assets. Private nonbank holdings of
marketable government bonds declined by
more than $200 million during the second
half of 1960.
At the turn of the year there was some
easing of interest rates under the influence
of a continued rise in the money supply.
In March and April of this year, heavy refinancing put upward pressure on interest
rates, but in mid-June rates declined again
after the government announced that credit
conditions would be eased to promote domestic expansion and discourage large capital inflows. At the same time the government announced its intention to facilitate a
reduction in the exchange value of the Canadian dollar. The 3-month Treasury bill rate
fell to about 2.6 per cent by the end of the
month. Yields on longer maturities also
declined.
UNITED KINGDOM

Long-term interest rates in Great Britain
moved generally up throughout 1960 and
the first seven months of 1961, under pressure of heavy demands for capital and
credit. Banks sold government securities
in order to expand their loans. Other investors added to their holdings during 1960,
but tended to reduce them in the first half
of 1961. By early August the yield on
undated 3Vi per cent War Loan reached
nearly 7 per cent.
From March 1960 through the first half
of this year, industrial production in the
United Kingdom was relatively stable, although with sustained pressure on productive resources. Steps taken in the first
half of 1960 to moderate this pressure culminated in the raising of the discount rate
of the Bank of England from 5 to 6 per
cent in June.




The June 1960 increase in the bank
rate and in associated money market and
bank lending rates, together with earlier
decreases in short-term rates in the United
States, stimulated a shift of short-term funds
from New York to London. In late October and in early December, the Bank of
England reduced its discount rate from 6
to 5 per cent in two steps to help reestablish a better alignment of London and New
York money rates, and to discourage the
flow of interest-sensitive funds into the London money market. Money market rates
generally eased from their mid-1960 peaks
during the last half of the year, and fluctuated narrowly in the first half of 1961.
In July the British Government announced a number of important measures
designed to correct a large deficit in the
basic balance of payments and to halt the
heavy outflow of short-term capital that
developed after revaluation of the German
mark and the Dutch guilder in March.
Among these measures was an increase in
the discount rate of the Bank of England
from 5 per cent, the rate established in
December 1960, to 7 per cent. The amount
of special deposits which London clearing
banks are required to maintain with the
Bank of England was also raised from 2 to
3 per cent of each bank's total deposits.
In addition, arrangements were made with
the International Monetary Fund for a substantial drawing and a stand-by credit.
CONTINENTAL WEST EUROPE

Interest rates in leading continental West
European countries generally remained stable or declined during most of the past year,
although Swiss and German rates have risen
in recent months. The declines, unlike those
in earlier postwar periods of declining interest rates, did not reflect any weakening

895

INTEREST RATES IN LEADING COUNTRIES

of economic activity for boom conditions
prevailed in most countries. Instead, the
declines reflected such factors as the rise in
liquidity due to inflows of funds from abroad,
increased savings, expectations of further increases in bond prices, and official measures
designed to encourage lower interest rates.
The measures to encourage interest rate
declines had various objectives. In countries
that were attempting to control strong inflationary pressures, a primary objective was
to eliminate or reduce large-scale capital
inflows as a means of avoiding further large
increases in liquidity. The monetary authorities in such countries have recently
tended to take the view that in the light of
the circumstances they were facing—notably
the magnitude of short-term capital inflows
during the past year relative to the size of
their money markets—low interest rates, by
discouraging capital inflows, would aid their
antiinflationary policies.
Countries with large balance-of-payments
surpluses also fostered interest rate declines
in an effort to improve international balanceof-payments equilibrium.
In addition, in some European countries
interest rates during postwar years have
been relatively high. Several of these countries have attempted to lower their general
interest rate structures to encourage private
domestic investment, and they made some
progress last year.
Germany. In November 1960, Germany
reversed its policy of attempting to limit
credit expansion through measures intended
to reduce bank liquidity. This policy was
reversed because it involved high interest
rates which contributed to heavy inflows of
capital from abroad.
Such inflows had continued on a substantial scale despite the adoption in June
1960 of special measures to discourage

them. These measures included prohibition of interest payments on foreign demand and time deposits and of the sale of
money market paper to foreigners. From
June through October 1960, gold and foreign exchange reserves, including German
bank balances at foreign banks and money
market investments abijoad, had increased
by about $1 billion as a result of capital inflows as well as a balanice-of-payments surplus on current account.
In November 1960, the Federal Bank reduced its discount rate from 5 to 4 per cent.
Reductions in January and May of 1961
brought the rate to 3 per cent. Reductions

896

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

in reserve requirements through July lowered these requirements by about a fourth
from their level at the end of last year. In
line with this easing of the money market,
Treasury bill rates were substantially reduced.
Yields on long-term securities also declined sharply until May, but did not reach
levels likely to bring a significant volume of
foreign issues on the German market. On
the contrary, foreign funds were attracted to
German bonds—particularly after the German policy reversal of last November—not
only by yields that continued to be comparatively high and by possible speculative gains
in the event of an upward revaluation of the
currency (which occurred in March of this
year), but also by the expectation that German bond prices would rise further. Because
of continued capital inflow as well as a surplus on current account, the over-all German
balance-of-payments surplus remained very
high during the first half of 1961.
The rise in bond prices and decline in
yields halted in May. Since mid-June yields
have increased slightly. Foreign buying diminished and in June turned into net selling,
partly in reaction to reemergence of the Berlin question. The shift in market conditions
appears to have led to an increase in demand
for mortgage loan commitments, and this has
tended to put upward pressure on interest
rates.
France. Although rising investment increased demands for credit and capital,
short-term money rates in France were at
about the same level in 1960 as in 1959.
In the first half of 1961 these rates were
slightly lower, while intermediate- and longterm rates remained near the reduced level
reached at the end of 1959. This stability
of interest rates was due primarily to a high
rate of private saving; to the further increase




in liquidity due to foreign exchange inflow;
and to monetary actions designed to foster
relatively low interest rates to encourage
private investment during a period of no
marked pressure on productive resources.
In July 1960 rates were lowered on Treasury certificates sold to the public, and in
December rates were reduced on those sold
to banks. In October the Bank of France
lowered its discount rate from 4 to 3Vi per
cent and its rate on advances against government securities from 5Vi to 5 per cent.
Certain governmental and quasi-governmental institutions lowered their mortgage
and other lending rates by V* to V2 percentage point.
In January 1961 there were reductions of
up to VA percentage point in the interest paid
by savings and by commercial banks on time
deposits and deposit certificates.
Switzerland. Swiss money and capital
markets were among those strongly influenced by the international capital movements of the past year. Largely because of
the increasing supply of funds seeking investment there, the average yield on longterm government bonds declined from 3.32
per cent in January 1960 to 2.82 per cent
in April 1961. Interest rates paid on 3month deposits fluctuated moderately in
1960 around an average of 1.86 per cent
for the year, but dropped to 1.50 per cent
with the very large movement of short-term
funds to Switzerland in March 1961.
Throughout the past year, Swiss economic
activity was booming, and pressure on resources was strong. Under the circumstances, the Swiss monetary authorities took
the view that efforts to prevent inflation by
tightening credit and thereby bringing upward pressure on interest rates would be
self-defeating because more funds would be
attracted from abroad. Therefore, to dis-

897

INTEREST RATES IN LEADING COUNTRIES

courage capital inflows and encourage outflows, they attempted to facilitate the maintenance of low interest rates and to make it
unprofitable for foreign funds to enter
Switzerland.
The official discount rate has been kept
at 2 per cent since February 1959. Since
August 1960 the banks, in agreement with
the Swiss National Bank, have refused to
accept foreign demand deposits, have not
paid interest on other foreign-owned deposits made since July 1960, and have imposed a service charge of Vx of 1 per cent
per calendar quarter on deposits held less
than six months.
Despite these restrictions, large-scale inflows occurred but most of them were not
related to interest rate differentials. Because
of the inflationary dangers implicit in these
large inflows, arrangements were made for
temporary sterilization of part of the resulting accretions of Swiss franc reserves. Under
such arrangements a portion of such accretions was blocked in special deposits at the
Swiss National Bank.
Since April, interest rates on long-term
bonds and on 3-month deposits have risen.
Large flotations of foreign and domestic
issues on the Swiss capital market during
the first seven months of the year and expectations of an increase in mortgage rates
in the autumn contributed to the rise.
The Netherlands. During 1960 and the
first half of 1961 the main threat to monetary stability in the Netherlands, as in Switzerland, was an inflow of gold and foreign exchange resulting from balance-ofpayments surpluses during a boom. In the
Netherlands the surpluses reflected large exports and an inflow of long-term capital. Tn
the circumstances the Netherlands attempted
to discourage money inflows.




Such inflows tended to increase during
the latter part of 1960 as Dutch commercial
banks found it less attractive to keep funds
abroad than before, in part because of declines in interest rates abroad. To discourage repatriation of these funds the
Netherlands Bank facilitated a considerable
rise in money market liquidity and declines
in interest rates. The 90-day Treasury bill
rate, which had averaged 2.45 per cent in
the first quarter of 1960, fell to 1.51 per cent
by December and to .88 per cent in June
of this year.
On the other hand the Bank absorbed a
considerable part of the rise in liquidity associated with the inflow of gold and foreign
exchange. This was done primarily by increasing the minimum reserves the commercial banks are required to hold from 7 per
cent to 10 per cent between July 1960 and
April 1961 and by government borrowing
and accumulation of cash balances.
Since April of this year, foreign issues
have again been permitted on the capital
market. Such issues had been forbidden
since 1955. Several have been placed since
April, usually at yields of AVi to 5 per cent.
On September 1 a system of special measures to curtail credit expansion by the commercial banks will be put into effect for the
first time since these measures were drawn
up by the Netherlands Bank in agreement
with the commercial banks in the spring of
1960.
JAPAN

The current economic boom in Japan, which
began in mid-1958, has created tight money
market conditions. From August 1960 to
the spring of this year, however, most interest rates were reduced in line with the longrun trend of Japanese rates to come closer
to those in Western money markets. The

898

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

Bank of Japan lowered its basic discount
rate from 7.30 to 6.94 per cent in August
1960 and to 6.57 per cent in January 1961.
The average rate charged on bank loans
and discounts declined from 8.22 per cent
in July 1960 to 7.89 per cent in May 1961.
In April the Government lowered interest
rates on a broad variety of deposit, savings,
and trust accounts, and the rates on longterm bank loans. In the same month the
new-issue terms for various public and private bonds were changed, establishing
lower yields.




A sizable inflow of foreign short-term
capital, particularly in the form of acceptance credits and borrowings of dollars from
European banks by Japanese banks, was
stimulated last year by relaxation of government controls and by international differences in interest rates. Since March this
inflow has tapered off.
In July the Bank of Japan raised its discount rate to 6.94 per cent. It took this action in response to a large expansion of
bank credit and to the deterioration in the
Japanese balance of payments since early in
the year.

Quarterly Survey
of Consumer Buying Intentions
CONSUMERS' PLANS to buy automobiles,
which had been close to year-earlier levels
in both January and April, rose from April
to July. Reported plans to buy houses and
most household durable goods, however, remained below year-earlier levels. These
findings are from the eleventh Quarterly
Survey of Consumer Buying Intentions, conducted in the third week of July.1
The proportion of consumers reporting in
July that they planned to buy new or used
automobiles within the next 6 months was
slightly larger than in July 1960 and about
the same as in July 1959. The proportion
of families with plans to buy major household durable goods, however, was smaller
than in either of the two preceding July
Surveys. Plans to purchase houses during
the coming year were reported about as
often as in the three preceding Surveys, but
less often than in July 1960.
In July the proportion of consumers reporting lower incomes than a year earlier
was slightly smaller than in previous Surveys
this year, but it continued to be somewhat
higher than in the two preceding Julys. Reports of income increases showed little
change from April to July, while reports of

no change rose. Expectations regarding
future incomes remained about the same as
in July 1960, with about three-fifths of the
consumers anticipating little change and
one-fourth somewhat higher incomes a year
hence.
Automobiles. Plans to purchase new
automobiles during the next 6 months were
reported by 3.4 per cent of the families
interviewed in July, compared with 3.1 per
cent a year earlier and 3.2 per cent in July
1959.
Increases from a year earlier in
plans to buy new cars occurred in most income and age groups. The increase from
April to July was similar to the 1959 movement and contrasted with a slight decline
over the same period of 1960.
In July, 4.2 per cent of consumers reported plans to buy used cars within the
next 6 months. This was the same proportion as in July 1959 but more than in July
1960 when only 3.8 per cent reported such
plans. Plans to buy within 12 months followed a pattern similar to 6-month plans
for both new and used cars.
A higher proportion of families reported
that they were dissatisfied with the car currently owned than a year earlier or in July
1959. On the other hand, somewhat fewer
reported that they had been shopping for a
car.
The proportion of consumers reporting
purchases of new cars in the second quarter of this year, as in the first quarter, was
smaller than in the corresponding period of
last year. While this finding was in general

900

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

agreement with the reduced level of new car
sales in the first half of 1961, the decline
indicated by the Survey was somewhat
larger than that shown by sales data from
other sources.
Survey reports of used car purchases by
consumers during the second quarter of this
year were about as frequent as in the second
quarters of 1960 and 1959. In contrast,
sales data indicate a slightly lower level of
used car sales than in the second quarter of
either of the two previous years.

Household durable goods. In July, plans
to buy the three major household appliances
covered by the Survey—washing machines,
refrigerators, and television sets—during the
next 6 months continued lower than in the
same period of 1960. As in April, the
reduction from year-earlier levels reflected
decreases in plans to buy washing machines
and refrigerators. Plans to buy these two
items declined slightly from April to July
this year, compared with sharp increases in
1959, and in July were below their July
1959 levels. Plans to buy television sets
were slightly above July levels of the past
two years. The lower levels of 6-month
buying plans for washing machines and refrigerators reflected primarily a decline in
the proportion of consumers reporting indefinite plans. The proportions reporting
that they "definitely" or "probably" would
purchase these items were about the same
this July as at the same time in the two
preceding years.
Plans to buy the durable items covered
for the first time in the January 1960 Survey—air conditioners, clothes dryers, dishwashers, and radio and phonographic equipment—were also generally below yearearlier levels in July. The only exception
was plans to buy radio and phonographic
equipment. The slight increase in plans to
buy these items probably reflected the continued interest in, and promotion of, stereophonic and phonographic equipment.
Reports of purchases of the household
durable goods covered by the Survey indicate about 10 purchases per 100 families
in the second quarter of this year. This
compares with 10.8 per 100 families in the
second quarter of last year. The decline
in purchases appeared to be general for most
items except dishwashers and radio and
phonographic equipment. The lower level

901

of purchases is consistent with gross national product estimates, which show declines in total consumer expenditures for
household durable goods from year-earlier
levels.
Houses. About 5 per cent of the families
interviewed in July planned to purchase a
house during the next 12 months. This was
about the same proportion as in April but
less than the 5.4 per cent reporting such
plans in July 1960. Most income and age
groups, except those with incomes under
$3,000 and families headed by persons under 35 years of age, reported declines in
house purchase plans.
According to the Survey, about as many
families purchased houses in the second
quarter of the year as in the first quarter,
but somewhat fewer than in the second
quarter of 1960. The decline from a year
ago appears to be primarily in purchases
of new houses. As is indicated in the note
to Table 4, however, data on purchases
of houses are subject to somewhat larger
sampling errors than other data from the
Survey because of special problems involved
in estimating house purchases.
Sampling variability. Data from Quarterly
Surveys are based on about 17,000 interviews and, as is true of all sample surveys,
may differ because of sampling variability
from data that would be obtained if a complete census were taken. The reliability of
estimates of percentages obtained from the
Survey depends on the size of the estimated
percentage and the size of the total sample
—or portion of the sample—on which the
percentage is based.
Sampling errors are shown in the table
for selected percentages and sample sizes.
The sample sizes are expressed in terms of
the estimated number of households represented by the Survey (or portion of the

1 For the Quarterly Survey, data are collected only from the
principal family in the household. Therefore the number of families
is the same as the number of households.
2 Total money income (before taxes) of family in 12 months
immediately preceding interview.

The approximate number of households
by income and age groups is shown in the
table above. The estimated size of each
subgroup may be used in the foregoing table
to obtain the approximate sampling error for
that subgroup in preceding Surveys as well
as in the July 1961 Survey.

Proposed Legislation on Finance Charges
You HAVE ASKED that I appear before
you today to comment on S. 1740, a bill to
require disclosure of finance charges in connection with extensions of credit. I am
glad to give you such assistance as I can in
your consideration of this proposal.
Briefly, the bill would require a person
engaged in the business of extending credit
to furnish to each of his customers prior to
the consummation of a credit transaction a
written statement setting forth certain details concerning the credit in accordance
with rules and regulations prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. These details would include (1)
the finance charge expressed in dollars and
cents and (2) the percentage that the finance
charge bears to the total amount to be
financed expressed as a simple annual rate
on the outstanding unpaid balance of the
obligation.
I should like to begin my statement by
reaffirming the Board's general position as
set forth in our report and statement on
S. 2755, the similar bill considered by your
Subcommittee last year, and repeated in our
recent report on S. 1740. The Board is in
full accord with the objective of requiring
lenders and vendors to disclose fully their
interest rates and finance charges to credit
customers. The regulation of trade practices
of vendors and lenders in stating finance
charges, where necessary to provide credit

Jr., Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, before the Subcommittee on Production and Stabilization of the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee, July 19, 1961.

customers with better information, is a
commendable social and economic objective.
While we are in full sympathy with the
"truth in lending" objective of the bill, we
also believe, as we stated last year, that
administration of such legislation would not
constitute an appropriate activity for the
Federal Reserve System. As you are aware,
the major responsibility of the Federal
Reserve is influencing the reserves of the
banking system in the interests of economic
stability and growth. The statute proposed
in S. 1740, it seems to me, would be essentially a trade practices law not related to our
primary responsibility, which is to regulate
the availability and supply of credit in accordance with the over-all needs of the
economy.
The bill is designed to protect the interests of borrowers or other retail credit
customers on a continuing basis. It would
do this by improving the quality of their
information concerning the finance charges
on credit contracts into which they may
enter. As a result of the better information
on financing charges, the bill would presumably facilitate customer choice as to
type and source of available credit financing
best suited to his pocketbook. In this way,
the bill would work from the demand side
to make the market for funds more competitive and make more efficient the allocation of resources generally.
The bill would not be administered as a
contracyclical instrument, tightened in boom
times and eased in times of slack. Rather
it would be administered so as to give bor-

906

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

rowers truthful information at all times—
good and bad alike. Thus, regulation of
the disclosure of finance charges under the
bill would differ from the administration of
general monetary policy. Its administration
would also differ with respect to cyclical
flexibility from the selective credit regulations, such as regulation of stock market
credit which the Federal Reserve administers
at present, and from regulations of consumer
credit and real estate credit which the Federal Reserve has administered in the past.
The question as to whether or not knowledge as to the actual cost of an article
bought on credit tends to diminish cyclical
fluctuations can be thought of in two parts.
One part has to do with the price of the
article itself; the other with the additional
cost of buying it "on time."
Decisions as to whether or not to buy
the item at all are made more intelligently,
of course, when the true price is known.
Since prices of goods and services fluctuate,
potential buyers tend to be encouraged to
purchase by prices they consider low and
discouraged by those they consider high.
Price changes on the items themselves, therefore, do have contracyclical influence, and
this influence is enhanced when potential
buyers are quoted the total cost as well as
the monthly payment.
If consumer finance charges actually did
fluctuate with economic cycles, knowledge
of the total cost of consumer credit itself
would tend to have contracyclical effects.
However, finance charges on consumer instalment credit, a major area that would be
covered by the bill, have not shown much
fluctuation in response to cyclical changes
in the availability of credit during the postwar period. Also, it is hard to find evidence
as to consumer responsiveness to the changes
in charges that have occurred. Consumer




instalment credit has been more responsive
to changes in terms, such as maturities and
downpayments, and in credit standards of
lenders than to changes in finance charges.
Finance charges on instalment loans, like
charges on other types of credit, have risen
from the lows reached in the World War II
period. The rise has been gradual and, unlike money market interest rates, rates on
consumer loans have not varied much in
response to changes in the availability of
and demand for credit over the course of
postwar business cycles.
One factor of particular importance in
connection with the prevailing level and
relative invariability of credit charges on
instalment loans is the presence of State laws
setting maximum finance rates. Another
factor is the relative importance of costs
other than the cost of money per se in the
consumer lending business. These costs,
which include the cost of credit investigation, collection, and provision for losses,
do not show much cyclical fluctuation.
This is not to say that consumer instalment credit is unresponsive to changes in
monetary policy. Instalment lenders, like
other lenders, are affected by changes in the
supply of bank reserves.
Commercial
banks, which are most directly affected by
changes in Federal Reserve policy, themselves hold about two-fifths of all outstanding consumer credit and also make loans in
substantial volume to finance companies and
retailers.
Changes in the availability of credit to
instalment vendors and lenders tend to be
reflected more in changes in the credit
standards which lenders and vendors apply
than in changes in their finance charges.
When credit conditions tend to tighten, more
restrictive credit standards tend to eliminate
customers who are marginal risks.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION ON FINANCE CHARGES

On the other hand, when credit conditions become easier, instalment lenders and
vendors are more willing to extend credit and
to accept marginal risks. Moreover, consumer lenders and vendors tend to engage
in more promotional activity when funds
are readily available and to cut back on
such activity when funds are hard to come
by.
In view of the technical characteristics
of the consumer credit business, it seems
unlikely that a fuller awareness by consumers of instalment finance charges in and of
itself would make for increased cyclical variation in such charges and thereby result in
much contracyclical effect on consumer borrowing. Whatever increased cyclical variation in rates and in borrower responsiveness
to rate changes did result from the bill
would, of course, be salutary. Cyclical
flexibility in financing costs serves generally
to discourage borrowing in boom periods
and to encourage it in periods of slack.
Perhaps the most important effect of the
bill in the instalment credit field would be
in furthering the healthful functioning of
the economy generally, through better allocation of resources. It would, indeed, be
beneficial if a fuller consumer awareness of
credit charges resulted in the avoidance of
particularly burdensome indebtedness on the
part of some consumers or caused them to
allocate their funds more economically.
While most of the discussion of this bill
has been in terms of its role in requiring disclosure of terms on short-term consumer
credit, the bill also would apparently apply




907

to the mortgage credit area. Mortgage interest rates, like finance charges on consumer credit, have risen since the war, although they have fluctuated more in response
to changes in credit availability.
Contract rates on first mortgages tend to
be close to their effective rates. It is true
that appreciable discounts are sometimes
charged on mortgages insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Government. This happens
when administratively determined rates are
below market rates. However, sizable discounts are seldom charged on mortgages of
the conventional type. Moreover, charges
other than the cost of money typically add
little to the contract interest rates on mortgages.
There is unfortunately little information to
be had about practices in disclosing financing
charges to borrowers in second and third
mortgage financing. If there is a problem
requiring compulsory disclosure of contract
costs in the mortgage field, it would seem to
relate more to this area of financing than to
first mortgages.
In conclusion, let me say that the Board
of Governors looks with favor on the general
principle of the bill of requiring disclosure
of finance charges. At the same time, however, the Board believes that the administration of such a trade practice function would
be essentially unrelated to the Board's present responsibilities. On behalf of the Board,
therefore, I wish to reaffirm the position we
took last year that administration of such
legislation would not constitute an appropriate activity for the Federal Reserve.

The Balance Sheet of Agriculture, 1961
The major factual portion of the 17th in a series
of annual reports on the financial condition of
agriculture, as issued by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is given below.1 The full report has
been published as an Agriculture Information
Bulletin of the Department of Agriculture.
The study was prepared, under the direction of
Norman J. Wall, Chief, Agricultural Finance
Branch, Farm Economics Division, Economic Research Service, by F. L. Garlock, F. D. Hansing,

W. H. Scofield, F. D. Stocker, and Q. F. Dallavalle.
Data relating to the inventories of livestock,
crops, machinery, and household equipment were
prepared under the direction of the following
persons: livestock—R. H. Moats; crops—C. E.
Burkhead and R. P. Hardy; machinery—Robert
H. Masucci and Mardy Myers; household equipment—Jean L. Pennock. Data relating to farm
income and expenditures were compiled under the
direction of Mardy Myers and Albert Kendall.

SUMMARY OF THE 1961 BALANCE SHEET
During 1960, the value of farm assets rose from
about $204.8 billion to about $206.1 billion; land
values continued to rise in all regions except the
Corn Belt; and, at $11.7 billion, the net realized
income of farm operators from farming was about
4 per cent higher than in 1959. Opposed to these
gains were an increase in farm debts that equaled
the increase in farm asset values; a decline in farm
mortgage debt repayments accompanied by an increase in renewals of non-real-estate farm debts;
and a drop in the liquid financial assets of farmers.
Despite the higher income in 1960, indications
are that farmers were in a tighter cash position
than in 1959. This is suggested not only by the
continued decline in farmers' liquid assets and the
debt trends cited above, but also by a reduction of
about $475 million in farmers' expenditures for
motor vehicles and machinery. The Federal Reserve estimates of farmer-owned demand deposits

indicate that nearly 260,000 fewer farmers had
checking accounts early in 1961 than a year
earlier.
There are also indications that more farmers
had difficulty in financing their operations in 1960
than in other recent years. This is suggested by a
substantially lower rate of increase in non-realestate farm debt, by an increase in the proportion
of farm mortgage loans used to refinance existing
debts, and by the fact that the Farmers Home Administration supplied a larger part of the operating credit obtained by farmers in 1960 than in
other recent years.
The tighter cash position of farmers and their
greater difficulty in obtaining financing are interrelated, because farmers use credit to maintain
their bank accounts as well as to buy goods and
services. A possible reason for the tighter situation in 1960 is suggested by reports of lending

The balance sheet as presented here brings together the assets and liabilities of agriculture as
though it were one large enterprise. It is the 17th in
a series that contain comparable annual estimates
beginning in 1940. The annual changes shown provide a means of appraising the effects of developments
in both the farm and nonfarm sectors of the economy
on the financial structure of agriculture.
This report shows farm assets and farm debts as of
the beginning of 1961 and selected earlier years. It
deals mainly with changes in thefinancialsituation of
agriculture that occurred during 1960.




908

In using and interpreting the balance sheet, it
should be remembered that the data are aggregates
and that they do not show the distribution of assets
and debts among owner-operators, tenants, and landlords. Nor do the data permit full separation of the
farm firm as a production unit from the farm family
as a consumption unit.
The general financial and credit position of agriculture and the way it varies among regions is given
special attention in the Agricultural Finance Outlook
issued in November of each year by the Farm Economics Division, Economic Research Service.

institutions that a growing number of farmers
have built up their debts to such levels that lenders are reluctant to extend them additional credit.
But apparently something more than this is involved. From the decline in the number of
farmers who have checking accounts it seems

probable that the financial pressures on smaller
farmers became heavier in 1960.
The principal reason for the increase in the
value of farm assets in 1960 was the continued
rise in the price of farm real estate. Early in
1961, this asset reached a record high value of
$136.5 billion, and it represented so large a part
of the value of all farm assets that it raised the
total value of these assets despite a net decline
in non-real-estate farm assets (Table I). 2
Farm assets other than real estate that increased
in 1960 included crop inventories, household furnishings and equipment, and investment in farm
cooperatives. The increases in the values of these
assets were small. Substantial declines occurred
in farmers' holdings of deposits and currency and
in the value of motor vehicles and machinery on
farms. Depreciation exceeded farm expenditures
for motor vehicles and machinery.
During 1960 farm debt rose from $24.1 billion
to $25.4 billion. Most of the increase was in farm
mortgage loans. Part of the rise of $800 million
in farm mortgage debt was caused by a decline in
payments on mortgage loans. Price-support loans
of the Commodity Credit Corporation increased
by about $100 million, and other non-real-estate
loans to farmers increased by about $400 million.
Despite the increases in farm debt during recent
years, proprietor's equities on January 1, 1961,
amounted to about $181 billion, or nearly 88 per
cent of the value of farm assets.
As reflected by valuations in 1940 prices, the
physical quantity of farm assets at the beginning
of 1961 showed little change—possibly a slight
decline—from a year earlier (Table 2).
Both gross and net income from agriculture
were about $700 million higher in 1960 than in
1959, and the net realized income of farm operators from farming was up nearly $500 million.
Realized net income from farming is estimated"
(new basis) at $2,925 per farm in 1960 compared
with $2,738 in 1959.
2

The number of farms and the size of the farm
population are used in computing values for some of
the series in these tables. As the 1959 Census of
Agriculture showed a greater reduction in the number
of farms than had been expected, the affected series
must be revised. In Table 1 and some of the other
tables, the figures presented under the heading "new
basis" are preliminary estimates of what the values
are likely to be after final revisions have been made.

creased sufficiently to overbalance a decline in
business purchases for fixed investment. In addition to a strong domestic demand, foreign takings
of agricultural products rose to a new record in
1960, in both volume and dollar value, as part
of a general export expansion.
The general price level—a major influence on
values of farmland and other farm assets—showed
small increases during 1960. The consumer price

INFLUENCE OF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION

These changes in the financial situation of farmers
occurred in an economic environment of expanding activity at the beginning of the year and
gradually declining activity after the first quarter.
The sharp rise in economic activity at the beginning of the year was spurred by business demand
for inventories with which to rebuild stocks depleted during the 1959 steel strike. By the second quarter, however, inventory investment had
slackened considerably, and in the fourth quarter there was disinvestment.
Industrial production (seasonally adjusted)
started the year at a record 11 per cent above the
1957 base, but by year-end, the index was at a
rate of only 3 per cent above 1957. Employment
also peaked in 1960. An expansion during the
first half of the year brought total civilian employment to a record 68.7 million in July. But layoffs
after midyear, especially in manufacturing, reduced the total to 66 million at the close of the
year.
For the year, consumer disposable income totaled $351.8 billion, 4 per cent above the 1959
total, and the gross national product was $504.4
billion, a rise of 4.5 per cent over 1959. Final
demand grew slowly throughout the year as consumer, government, and foreign purchases in-

THE BALANCE SHEET OF AGRICULTURE, 1961
the Federal Reserve changed from restraint to
ease. The demand for credit also eased. Loans
of commercial banks, for example, increased only
$7.4 billion in 1960, compared with a rise of $12.6
billion in 1959. Interest rates in the central money
markets moved generally lower during the year.
AGRICULTURAL INCOME

Total gross farm income was $38.3 billion in 1960,
nearly 2 per cent higher than in 1959 (Table 3).
Most of this increase was in cash receipts from
farm marketings.
Production costs (other than wages, rent, and
interest on mortgages) were up less than one-half
of 1 per cent in 1960. Most of the cost items
increased slightly from 1959, but livestock purchases and repairs on capital items decreased
slightly.

With gross farm income greater in 1960 and
production costs changing very little, the net income from agriculture increased about 4 per cent
to a total of $16.6 billion. After allowing for
wages to hired labor, net rent, and interest on
farm mortgage debt, the net income of farm operators increased by almost 6 per cent to almost $12
billion. Omitting adjustments for changes in inventory, the realized net income of farm operators was about $11.7 billion, or about 4 per
cent more than in 1959.
The purchasing power of the realized net income of farm operators from farming increased
3.6 per cent over that in 1959. This resulted
chiefly from an increase in current dollar income
and a relatively smaller increase in prices paid
for items and services used in family living.

THE 1961 BALANCE SHEET IN DETAIL
In the preceding paragraphs, the balance sheet
was summarized in general terms. In the sections
that follow, each item of the 1961 balance sheet
is treated in detail.
ASSETS

Assets fall into two general classes: (1) physical
assets, both real estate and tangible personal; and
(2) financial assets, which include cash, bank deposits, U.S. savings bonds, and farmers' investments in cooperative associations.
Farm real estate. Preliminary (new basis) estimates place the total market value of farm real
estate at $136.5 billion as of March 1, 1961. This
is only $1.7 billion, or 1 per cent, higher than the
revised estimate for March 1, 1960, which is $5.7
billion higher than had previously been estimated
for that date. The value of farm buildings in
March 1961 is estimated at $28.4 billion, or 20.8
per cent of the total value of land and buildings.
Dwellings on farms are estimated to account for
about half of the total value of all farm buildings.
The rise in market value per acre of farm
real estate slowed perceptibly in 1960 after having
advanced at an annual rate of 6 to 7 per cent between the spring of 1956 and the fall of 1959.
The revised (new basis) national estimate of $122
per acre for March 1, 1960, was about $10 per
acre higher than had been estimated previously




for that date. The average value of land and
buildings per farm was nearly $36,000 in 1961.
Market prices of farm real estate strengthened
slightly in the Corn Belt in the four months ended
March 1, 1961, but remained about 3 per cent
below a year earlier. Elsewhere, prices held
steady or showed) small gains in the year ended
March 1, 1961, but the gains were generally less
than had prevailed before 1960.
CHANGE IN DOLLAR VALUE
OF FARMLAND*

The rate of voluntary sales in the year ended
March 1, 1961, was 8 per cent below that of the
previous year and the lowest since the early
thirties. This low rate of 28.1 farms per 1,000,
applied to the smaller number of farms, probably

912

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

represented the smallest number of farm sales in
many years. Weaker demand, rather than a smaller
supply of farms for sale, was responsible. Farm
foreclosures and other distress transfers were at
about the same low rate as those in the last few
years.
Sales made in 1960-61 were financed in about
the same general way as they were a year earlier.
A total of about $1.5 billion in credit was extended
as a result of voluntary transfers, and half of this
was provided by sellers. The land instalment contract continues to be the principal means of financing sales of farms, particularly in the Lake,
Corn Belt, and Great Plains States. Downpayments made by buyers under this method of sale
averaged 27 per cent, whereas buyers who obtained mortgage financing from commercial lenders averaged downpayments of 45 per cent.
Livestock and poultry. The estimated value of
livestock on farms on January 1, 1961, excluding
horses and mules, totaled $15.5 billion (Table 4).
This was about the same as the value shown for
a year earlier, which included horses and mules.3
In 1960, other livestock on farms increased in
value by nearly $300 million. This increase resulted from a $400 million increase in the value of
hogs and an increase of $62 million in the value of
chickens and turkeys. Declining values for cattle,
down $104 million, and for sheep, down $66 million, offset part of the gain for the other groups.
The value of livestock on farms represented 7.5
per cent of total farm assets on January 1, 1961.
The number of all cattle and calves on farms
increased during 1960 for the third consecutive
year. After increasing for two years, the number
of hogs and pigs on farms declined to 55.3 million
on January 1, 1961, down 6 per cent from a year
earlier. The number of all sheep on farms also
declined, but the total on January 1, 1961, 32.9
million, was still the second highest number on
farms since 1948.
Completion of the 1959 Census of Agriculture
3
Starting with January 1, 1961, estimates of the
value of horses and mules on farms will no longer
be made. On January 1, 1940, the first date for
which balance-sheet data were aggregated, the value
of horses and mules totaled about $1.3 billion, almost
9 per cent of total livestock values. On January 1,
1960, the value of horses and mules totaled $0.3
billion, only 2 per cent of the total farm investment
in livestock.

provided the necessary data for revising estimates
of the numbers and value of livestock on farms
from January 1, 1955, to January 1, 1960. When
the revisions were made, it was found that the
numbers and values of livestock on farms as of
January 1 for all years from 1956 to date were
less than previously estimated.
Motor vehicles and machinery on farms. Farm
operators invested $3.1 billion in motor vehicles
and farm machinery during 1960, a drop of $475
million from the amount invested in 1959 and a
continuation of the decline from the recent high
peak achieved in 1958. Farmers cut back most
on their purchases of tractors. Expenditures for
tractors were reduced to $496 million, $267 million less than in 1959, and the lowest since 1947.
Although expenditures for new machines were
reduced in 1960, they were still large as reflected
by increases in numbers of major machines on
farms. Despite the increases in numbers of machines, the value of the inventory declined about
$480 million from the record high level of $18.6
billion on January 1, 1960 (Table 5).
Prices paid by farmers for new machines were
slightly higher in 1960 than they were in 1959
for tractors and "other" farm machinery, un-

changed for trucks, and lower for automobiles as
the compact models came on the market in increasing numbers.
Crop inventories. Farmer-owned inventories of
harvested crops on January 1, 1961, including
crops pledged under loan to the Commodity Credit
Corporation, were valued at slightly over $8 billion, an increase of about 3.5 per cent over the
value a year earlier. This increase resulted chiefly
from an increase in the quantity of stocks stored
off farms under CCC loans. On January 1, 1961,
the value of stocks stored off farms was almost 30
per cent more than a year earlier. Off-farm
storage of all major crops except soybeans and
rice showed an increase in value on January 1,
1961, over a year earlier, with wheat and grain
sorghum accounting for most of the increase.
The value of all crops stored on farms changed
less than 2 per cent between January 1, 1960, and
January 1, 1961. Food grain stocks, however,
increased in value about 25 per cent, chiefly because of an increase of about 28 per cent in the
physical quantity of wheat stocks. The inventory
value of hay and forage increased about 3 per
cent, while feed grains decreased about 2 per cent
and soybeans, the principal oil crop, decreased
about 13 per cent.
As measured in 1940 prices, the physical quantity of crop inventories increased about 5 per cent
between January 1, 1960, and January 1, 1961.
For crops stored on farms, the quantity increased
about 3 per cent, and for crops stored off farms
under CCC loan, it increased about 33 per cent.
Liquidfinancialassets. The bank deposits, currency, and U. S. savings bonds owned by farmers
declined during 1960 for the second consecutive
year. New basis estimates place the total of these

About $300 million of the decrease in liquid
financial assets in 1960 was in farmers' checking
accounts. According to Federal Reserve estimates, farmer-owned demand deposits decreased
during 1960 in all except the Kansas City and
Cleveland Districts. The average size of farmers'
checking accounts increased about 2.5 per cent
nationally during 1960, while the number of accounts decreased by more than 8 per cent. Of the
12 Federal Reserve districts, 10 showed decreases
in the number of farm checking accounts. Seven
had increases in the average size of demand deposits ranging from 5 to 12 per cent, while the
other 5 had decreases ranging from 4 to 18
per cent.
Preliminary (new basis) estimates indicate that
the value of the U. S. savings bonds owned by
farmers on January 1, 1961, was about $4.6
billion, $100 million less than a year earlier.
During 1960, purchases of both E and H bonds
declined. Redemptions of E bonds increased, but
redemptions of H bonds decreased. Purchases of
E bonds increased slightly in the Northeast, Lake
States, and Southeast. Purchases of H bonds increased slightly during 1960 in the Southern Plains,
Lake States, and Southeast.
Net worth of farmers' cooperatives. On January

1, 1961, the net worth of farmers' cooperatives
was $4.3 billion, reflecting an increase of a little

914

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

more than 5 per cent during 1960. For the last
eight years, the net worth of cooperatives has
increased by 5 to 8 per cent each year.
The marketing and purchasing associations continue to have the largest net worth, accounting
for a little more than 50 per cent of the total
net worth of cooperatives on January 1, 1961.
The rural electric cooperatives increased 14.3
per cent in net worth, the largest increase of any
of the cooperative groups. For this group, however, it was the smallest increase in the last 10
years.
The net worth of production credit associations
increased to a high of $301 million on January 1,
1961. This was an increase of 9 per cent in
1960 compared with increases of 14 per cent for
both 1958 and 1959.
During 1960, because of greater fire losses,
the net worth of farmers' mutual fire insurance
companies decreased almost 3.5 per cent.
Assets used in farm production. Preliminary
(new basis) estimates put the value of the assets
used in farm production on January 1, 1961, at
$163.5 billion, or about four-fifths of the total
value of all farm assets. During 1960, these
assets increased by about one-half of 1 per cent.
The value of farmland and service buildings,
which make up about three-quarters of the total
productive assets, increased by about 1.3 per cent.
All other categories of assets declined during
1960.
More significant is the amount of productive
capital per farm and per worker. Although the
value of productive assets has increased greatly
over the last 10 years, numbers of farms and
of farmworkers have decreased; thus, assets per
farm and per farmworker have increased even
more than the total of productive assets.

than the increase in 1959, but it was the fourth
largest annual increase since 1910.

CLAIMS

Claims on agricultural assets are of two general
kinds: (1) liabilities, which are divided into real
estate and non-real-estate debts; and (2) equities,
which represent the value of the residual rights in
agricultural assets belonging to the proprietors—
owner-operators, tenants, and landlords. Included
among these proprietors are individuals, corporations, and Federal, State, and local government
agencies.

All lender groups increased their holdings of
farm mortgages during 1960. The largest percentage increase was made by the Farmers Home
Administration. It resulted from heavy lending
activity during the last half of 1960 when the

915

THE BALANCE SHEET OF AGRICULTURE, 1961
1961 fiscal appropriations became available. The
smallest increase was by insured commercial
banks, whose holdings were increased by 4 per
cent. The increase by banks was probably limited
by the relatively high ratios of loans to deposits,
which developed at many banks during recent
years.
Two significant changes in lending activity occurred during 1960. The first was a decline in
payments on principal indebtedness. According
to reports from three lender groups—the life insurance companies, the Federal land banks, and
the Farmers Home Administration—the payment
rate on debt outstanding during 1960 was the
lowest since 1957. This happened despite the
fact that the source of funds for payments, farm
operators' realized net income, was higher in
1960 than in 1959.
The second important change in farm lending
activity occurred in the use of farm mortgage
funds. Reports from 20 life insurance companies
indicate that there was an increase in the use of
funds for refinancing mortgages and for making
repairs and improvements to land and buildings
and a decline in the planned use of funds for
purchasing farm real estate and for refinancing
other indebtedness. Scattered reports from the
field indicate that more and more loans secured
by real estate are used by borrowers for buying
seed, feed, machinery, and livestock. The generally lower rate of farm transfers and a weakened
demand for land reflects this situation. In total,
however, mortgage loans used to refinance existing
indebtedness increased and those used for other
purposes decreased in 1960.
The volume of farm mortgages recorded was
smaller in 1960 than in 1959. The number of
mortgages recorded was also down, but the average size was up. Loan size has increased year
after year in response to higher land prices and
the increased cost of equipping and operating a
farm business.
Interest rates on new farm mortgage loans in
1960 remained firm at about 6 per cent until the
last quarter, when the rates charged by major
lenders declined slightly. On outstanding mortgage loans, the average interest rate on January 1,
1961, was 5.05 per cent—highest since the midthirties—compared with 4.97 per cent on January
1, 1960.




Non-real-estate debt. The non-real-estate debt
of farmers (including CCC loans) on January 1,
1961, was estimated to be $12.3 billion, an increase of about 4 per cent over a year earlier

only 4 per cent during 1960 compared with almost

owed by farmers to the Commodity Credit Corporation and debts owed to miscellaneous lenders
each increased $100 million.
During 1960, outstanding loans held by banks
increased only 3.5 per cent compared with an
increase of almost 16 per cent during the preceding year. Loans held by the production credit

same period compared with an increase of 22 per
cent a year earlier. Loans held by the Farmers
Home Administration—a small part of the total—
increased nearly 6 per cent during 1960 compared
with a decline of 2 per cent during 1959.
Farmers' non-real-estate loans held by the principal lending agencies increased in all geographic
regions except the Corn Belt, where there was a
decline of 1 per cent. Areas of greatest expansion
were in the Delta, Southeast, and Lake States.
Expansion of bank loans was not large during
1960. Areas of greatest increase were in the
Northeast, Northern Plains, and Lake States.
Loans made by the production credit associations
increased about one-sixth in the Lake, Southeast,
and Pacific regions.
The continued increase in outstanding non-realestate loans of farmers during 1960 probably
resulted chiefly from an increase in the volume of
renewed loans. From January through October
1960, new loans of the production credit associations were slightly lower than during the same
periods of 1959. Since then, they have run
higher than in the corresponding months a year
earlier. Renewals were 19 per cent larger during
1960 than a year earlier, and in the early months
of 1961 they were greater than in the corresponding months of the previous year.
Probably because more farmers needed credit,
and more of them could not obtain all the credit
they needed from banks and production credit
associations, non-real-estate loans obligated by the
Farmers Home Administration were 26 per cent
greater during the second half of 1960 than in the
same period a year earlier. Most of this increase
was in operating loans, which increased 28 per




cent. Emergency loans increased only 2 per cent.
Interest payments on non-real-estate debt increased again during 1960. Interest charges for
banks and Federally sponsored agencies are estimated to have increased almost 13 per cent during
1960 to a high of almost $490 million. Despite
this increase, interest rates paid by farmers decreased somewhat during the latter part of 1960.
This was particularly true of loans made by the
production credit associations, which tend to
follow rates in the money market. Rates for
marketable securities in the central money markets declined sharply during the first half of 1960.
This reduced the cost of money to the banks of
the Farm Credit System and lowered the yields
of alternative investments for other farm lenders.
Bank rates on farm loans showed little change as
they are not very responsive to changes in the
money market.
Total farm debt Excluding price-support loans,
the total farm debt during 1960 increased 5 per
cent to a high of $24.1 billion. Farm mortgage
debt increased $800 million, or about 6.6 per
cent, compared with an increase of $400 million,
or nearly 4 per cent, in non-real-estate loans. The
aggregate farm mortgage debt and non-real-estate
debt held by institutional lenders showed the
largest increases in the Delta and Southeast regions. In both regions, the percentage increase
in non-real-estate loans was slightly higher than
for mortgage loans. The Corn Belt showed the
smallest increase in total farm debt during 1960.
This was the only region in which the non-realestate loans decreased during 1960; mortgage
loans increased by only about 5 per cent.

Administrative interpretations, new regulations, and similar material

Old Series Currency Adjustment Act
The Act of Congress approved June 30, 1961
(Public Law 87-66) cited as the "Old Series Currency Adjustment Act," authorizes the Board of
Governors, with the approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury, to require any Federal Reserve Bank
to pay to the Secretary an amount equal to the
amount of Federal Reserve notes of any series
prior to the series of 1928 issued by such bank
and outstanding at the time of such payment. The
Act also amends Section 16 of the Federal Reserve
Act with respect to the liability, collateral, reserves, and redemption fund for any notes as to
which a Reserve Bank has made such payment to
the Secretary. The text of these provisions of the
Act read as follows:
Sec. 4. The Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, with the approval of the Secretary,
may require any Federal Reserve bank to pay to the
Secretary, to be credited as a public debt receipt, an
amount equal to the amount of Federal Reserve notes
of any series prior to the series of 1928 issued to such
bank and outstanding at the time of such payment.
Sec. 5. Any currency the funds for the redemption
or security of which have been transferred pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3 of this Act, and any Federal Reserve notes as to which payment has been
made under Section 4 of this Act, shall thereafter,
upon presentation at the Treasury for redemption, be
redeemed by the Secretary from the general fund of
the Treasury and thereupon retired.
Sec. 6. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c)
of this section, there shall be carried on the books of
the Treasury as public debt bearing no interest Federal Reserve notes as to which payment has been
made to the Secretary under Section 4 of this Act and
the amount of the payment credited as a public debt
receipt in accordance with such section.
(c) The Secretary is authorized to determine, from
time to time, the amount of—
(1) outstanding currency of any type designated in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section.
(2) circulating notes of Federal Reserve
Banks, issued prior to July 1, 1929, for
which the United States has assumed
liability, and
(3) circulating notes of national bankin? associations, issued orior to July 1, 1929,
for which the United States has assumed
liability.
which, in his judgment, have been destroyed or
irretrievably lost and so will never be presented for
redemption, and to reduce accordingly the amount or




amounts thereof outstanding on the books of the
Treasury and to credit such amounts to the appropriate receipt account.
Sec. 8. (a) The fifth paragraph of Section 16 of
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C., 415) is amended
by adding at the end thereof the following new sentence: "The liability of a Federal Reserve bank with
respect to its outstanding Federal Reserve notes shall
be reduced by any amount paid by such bank to the
Secretary of the Treasury under section 4 of the Old
Series Currency Adjustment Act."
(b) The seventh paragraph of Section 16 of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C., sec. 416) is amended
by striking out the third sentence and inserting in lieu
thereof the following: "Any Federal Reserve bank
shall further be entitled to receive back the collateral
deposited with the Federal Reserve agent for the
security of any notes with respect to which such bank
has made payment to the Secretary of the Treasury
under section 4 of the Old Series Currency Adjustment Act. Federal Reserve banks shall not be required to maintain the reserve or the redemption fund
heretofore provided for against Federal Reserve notes
which have been retired, or as to which payment has
been made to the Secretary of the Treasury under
section 4 of the Old Series Currency Adjustment Act."
Sec. 9. Nothing contained in this Act shall impair
the redeemability of any currency of the United States
as now provided by law.

STATEMENT

The Atlantic National Bank of Jacksonville and
Atlantic Trust Company, both of Jacksonville,
Florida ("Applicants"), have applied pursuant to
Section 3(a) (2) of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 ("the Act"), for the Board's prior
approval of the acquisition of up to 39,400 of
the 40,000 shares of a proposed new bank, the
Lake Shore Atlantic Bank, Jacksonville, Florida
("Bank"). Both of the Applicants are registered
bank holding companies; Atlantic Trust Company
(which is not a bank) directly owns a controlling
interest in eight banks, and all of its outstanding
stock is held by trustees for the benefit of the




shareholders of The Atlantic National Bank of
Jacksonville.
Views and recommendations of the supervisory
authorities. One of the Applicant companies is a
national bank. The proposed bank to be acquired
is to be a State bank. Pursuant to Section 3(b)
of the Act, notice of the application was given to,
and views and recommendations requested of,
both the Comptroller of the Currency and the
State Commissioner of Banking of the State of
Florida. Both recommended approval of the
applications.
Statutory factors. Section 3(c) of the Act requires the Board to take into consideration the
following five factors: (1) the financial history
and condition of the holding companies and bank
concerned; (2) their prospects; (3) the character
of their management; (4) the convenience, needs,
and welfare of the communities and the area concerned; and (5) whether or not the effect of the
acquisition would be to expand the size or extent of the bank holding company system involved
beyond limits consistent with adequate and sound
banking, the public interest, and the preservation
of competition in the field of banking.
Discussion. The 17 commercial banks in Duval
County (in which Jacksonville is located) hold
total deposits of $662 million as of December 31,
1960. Applicants' group of banks includes four
of these, with total deposits of $236 million. The
largest of these four banks is The Atlantic National Bank of Jacksonville, with total deposits of
$209 million.
Bank would be located in a suburban area about
two miles southwest of the city limits of Jacksonville, at the intersection of Harlow and Blanding
Boulevards, and .4 mile south of a fairly large
shopping center. Bank's anticipated primary service area has a population estimated at 20,000 to
30,000. The area has no industry, but population growth has been pronounced in recent years
and may be expected to continue in the foreseeable
future. At present, there is no bank located within
Bank's anticipated primary service area. The two
banks closest to Bank's proposed site are about
4.5 and 5 miles distant. Of Applicants' banks,
The Atlantic National Bank of Jacksonville is the
closest to the proposed location of Bank. It is
approximately 8 miles away.
The financial history and condition, prospects,
and management of the Applicants are satis-

919

LAW DEPARTMENT
factory. The prospects and proposed management
of Bank are also satisfactory; since Bank has not
yet been established, financial history and condition are not relevant factors with respect to it.
Relative to the fourth statutory factor, while the
need for a bank in the area is not deemed urgent,
it is felt that a need is sufficiently evidenced and
that the convenience and welfare of the area concerned would be benefited to an extent which
would support approval under this factor.
The proposed acquisition would give the Applicants' group 5 of the 18 banks (27.8 per cent)
in the metropolitan area of Jacksonville (Duval
County). It does not appear that the acquisition
would increase substantially Applicants' present
control of banking resources nor strengthen significantly their competitive ability. The banks in
Applicants' holding company system held approximately 32 per cent of the deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations ("IPC deposits")
of all banks in Duval County, compared with
about 29 per cent held by the Florida National
Group (not a bank holding company as defined
in the Act), 23 per cent by the Barnett National
Bank of Jacksonville and the subsidiary banks of
the affiliated Barnett National Securities Corporation (a registered bank holding company), and
16 per cent by all other banks. If Bank's anticipated deposits at the end of three years of
operation should consist entirely of IPC deposits
and should be added to Applicants' year-end 1960
totals, Applicants' proportion of the total of such
deposits held by Duval County banks would increase by only 1 percentage point.
In the Board's opinion, under Applicants' control Lake Shore would be operated soundly, and
the establishment of the bank would not produce
an overbanked situation in the area. Neither
does it appear that the proposed acquisition would
expand the size of the Applicants' system beyond
limits consistent with adequate and sound banking, the public interest, and the preservation of
competition in the field of banking.
It is the judgment of the Board, based on the
relevant facts considered in the light of the general
purposes of the Act and the factors enumerated
in Section 3(c) thereof, that the proposed acquisition would be consistent with the statutory objectives and the public interest, and that the application should be approved.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN MARTIN AND
GOVERNORS SHEPARDSON AND KING

Northwest Bancorporation's application to
acquire the stock of the proposed Roseville Northwestern National Bank was filed with the Board
on June 29, 1960, after preliminary approval of
the Bank's organization had been granted by the
Comptroller of the Currency. As required by the
Bank Holding Company Act, the Board requested
the Comptroller's views with respect to Northwest's application, and the Comptroller recommended approval.
Although a hearing on the application was not
required by the statute, the Board ordered a public hearing, which was conducted before a Hearing Officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from October 17 to October 26, 1960.
In addition to testimony by witnesses for the
Applicant, testimony in opposition to the application was presented by witnesses for three banks,
the Falcon Heights State Bank and the St. Anthony
Park State Bank, both of St. Paul, and the Fidelity
Bank and Trust Company of Minneapolis. Also
opposing the application were witnesses representing a group that had applied to the Minnesota
Department of Commerce for authority to organize a State bank to be called "Roseville State
Bank" and to be located at the same site as that
contemplated for Northwest's proposed bank. The
United States Department of Justice filed a Statement in Opposition, which was introduced at the
hearing and made a part of the record. The
Hearing Officer in his Report of February 21,
1961, recommended that the application be approved.
The application to organize Roseville State
Bank was filed with the Department of Commerce
of Minnesota one week after the filing of Northwest's application with the Comptroller of the
Currency. The Department of Commerce held a
hearing on the Roseville State Bank application
after the Comptroller's preliminary approval of the
organization of Northwest's bank and after the
Board's hearing. The Department of Commerce
approved the State bank application, but because
the Department was of the opinion that at the
present time only one of the two proposed banks
should be established, and because Northwest's
application was prior in time, such approval was
conditioned upon denial of Northwest's application
by the Board.




While this is admittedly a difficult case, we
agree with the Hearing Officer's conclusion that a
balancing of all considerations pertinent to the
five statutory factors set forth in Section 3(c)
of the Act warrants favorable action in this case.
As to the first three factors—financial history
and condition, prospects, and management—there
appear to be no considerations that would affirmatively suggest approval, but likewise none, either
as to Northwest or as to Bank, that would suggest
disapproval of the application.
With respect to the convenience, needs, and
welfare of the area proposed to be served by
Bank, we agree with the finding of the Hearing
Officer that there is a need for a bank in the
Village of Roseville. Between 1950 and 1960,
Roseville has grown in population from about
6,500 to about 24,000. Continued growth is
anticipated, and for some time Roseville's residents and businesses have been making efforts
to obtain a bank in the Village, leading to the
two separate proposals for the establishment of
a bank at the proposed site.
We concede that the prospect of the organization of the Roseville State Bank somewhat
lessens the favorable weight of considerations
relating to the need for banking services in Roseville. However, we still regard the needs and
convenience of the community as lending strong
support for approval of Northwest's application.
Our opportunity to evaluate Northwest's proposal
has enabled us to satisfy ourselves that Northwest
can and would provide needed services to the community in a sound manner. While there is substantial evidence in the record in this case as to
the State bank proposal, that application is not
before us and our opportunity to make a similar
evaluation of it is necessarily limited. Further, we
cannot adopt the views of the Minnesota Department of Commerce on the merits of that proposal
as our own, because the Department acts under
one statute and the Board under another. Moreover, the grant of permission to the State bank
group is, by its terms, subject to the Board's action
on Northwest's application. In these circumstances,
we believe that our responsibilities under the Act,
as well as justice to the applicant, require us to give
weight to the favorable effects of the proposed
transaction under the fourth factor despite the
alternative prospect of organization of the Roseville State Bank.

LAW DEPARTMENT
The question, then, is whether this favorable
consideration is outbalanced by any adverse considerations under the fifth factor relating to "preservation of competition in the field of banking."
For several reasons, we regard the expansive
effect of the proposed acquisition as not significantly adverse to approval. Bank is a proposed
bank, so that there would be no immediate shift
of deposits to the holding company's control such
as there would be upon acquisition of an existing
bank. The addition of deposits to the holding
company system would be gradual and Bank's
projected deposits even after a few years would
constitute only a very small percentage of total
deposits in the relevant areas (which are discussed more fully below). Further, Northwest
banks' percentage of total commercial bank deposits in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan
Area has declined in the period 1945 to 1960, as
has the percentage held by the banks of First
Bank Stock Corporation, the other large bank
holding company in the area. In the same period,
the percentage of such deposits held by nonholding-company banks has increased. If this trend
should continue, Bank's growth might well be
insufficient to offset it and thus it would not have
the effect of increasing the relative size of the
applicant's system in such area in terms of deposits.
In Ramsey County, including St. Paul, Northwest has increased its percentage of total commercial bank deposits in the period 1945 to 1960,
but only from 7 to 10 per cent. The declining
trend in the Metropolitan Area as a whole is
apparently attributable in part to the fact that
the deposit strength of the nonholding-company
banks is found more in faster-growing suburban
areas while that of the Northwest system is in the
more settled downtown areas. The proposed
acquisition would, of course, add a new bank in
a fast-growing area but probably would not by
itself materially affect the over-all situation.
We agree with the Hearing Officer's view that,
on the record, the Twin Cities area comprises an
integrated financial center and that, for evaluation
of the situation with respect to concentration in
this case, Ramsey County should be viewed in
conjunction with Hennepin County and as a
part of the Metropolitan Area. In the Metropolitan Area (five counties), Northwest banks
hold about 34 per cent of deposits of individuals,
partnerships and corporations ("IPC deposits") in




921
commercial banks. The Northwest and First Bank
Stock systems together hold over 75 per cent of
such deposits in the area. In Ramsey County
alone, Northwest banks hold only 11 per cent of
such deposits while First Bank Stock banks hold
57 per cent.
We believe the combined resources of Northwest banks and First Bank Stock banks to be a
material consideration, since the two systems are
by far the largest banking organizations in the
area in terms of aggregate resources under centralized control. In this situation, their combined size is pertinent to the effect of the Northwest system's own size and any expansion thereof
on the smaller organizations, whether systems or
independent banks. We believe that there is
potential danger to competition in a high degree
of concentration, but we do not find substantial
evidence in the record in this case that the size of
Northwest or of the two large holding company
systems combined has had a demonstrable adverse
effect on banking competition in the area, and it
does not appear that the proposed acquisition
would increase present concentration to a significant degree.
The establishment of Bank would actually increase competition for Roseville banking business.
While Bank would draw some business away from
existing banks, we agree with the conclusion of the
Hearing Officer that Bank would not create an
overbanked situation in the area of Roseville
and that the acquisition would otherwise be consistent with adequate and sound banking.
On the basis of the record in this case, we conclude that any adverse considerations under the
fifth statutory factor are outweighed by favorable
considerations under the fourth factor and, in the
absence of unfavorable considerations under the
first three factors, that the acquisition would be
consistent with the public interest and that the
application should be approved.
STATEMENT OF GOVERNORS BALDERSTON
AND ROBERTSON

After consideration of all facts relevant to the
five statutory factors, it is our opinion that this
application should be denied.
The record of the public hearing in this case
discloses a situation with respect to concentration
of banking resources that is of concern to us un-

922

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

der the fifth statutory factor, which requires the
Board to consider whether the effect of a holding
company's acquisition of a bank would be to expand the size or extent of the bank holding company system involved beyond limits consistent
with, among other things, "the preservation of
competition in the field of banking."
As of June 15, 1960, banks controlled by Northwest held more than one-third of the deposits of
individuals, partnerships, and corporations ("IPC
deposits") held by commercial banks in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area. Over threequarters of such deposits were held by banks controlled by Northwest and by First Bank Stock Corporation, also a bank holding company. While
the banks of each of these two systems may actively compete with those of the other, and even
among themselves to some extent, such concentration of control of banking resources represents an
excessive imbalance of competitive strength among
banks in the area.
In Ramsey County alone (which includes St.
Paul and Roseville), Northwest's banks have only
about 11 per cent of the IPC deposits of commercial banks as against 57 per cent in First Bank
Stock's banks but, although Northwest contends
that only the situation in Ramsey County should
be considered in this case, we agree with the Hearing Officer that Ramsey County should be considered in conjunction with Hennepin County,
the two comprising most of the Metropolitan Area.
Although the acquisition would not immediately
increase the relative size of the Northwest system
to the same extent that the acquisition of an existing independent bank would, the tendency of the
establishment of a Northwest bank in the fastgrowing Roseville area would be expansive from
the standpoint of concentration, while the tendency of the establishment of a new independent
bank would be to further the slight gradual decline in concentration of banking resources in
holding companies in the Metropolitan Area that
has been in process in recent years. In view of
the still high levels of such concentration, the
latter effect is to be desired, and would be promoted by denial of Northwest's application because of the apparent certainty that Roseville State
Bank would thereupon be established. These considerations must be regarded as adverse to approval. Our conclusion is not altered by the fact
that a new bank in Roseville would increase com-




petition in that area, since that effect can be
achieved by the establishment of either bank and
perhaps somewhat more by the establishment of
the State bank, since some Roseville banking business is now in Northwest banks.
We therefore conclude that, in net result, the
proposed acquisition would have potentially adverse effects under the fifth statutory factor and,
unless we find sufficient offsetting favorable considerations under the other factors, we cannot
approve this application.
We find Northwest's financial history and condition, its prospects, and its management to be
satisfactory. It further appears that Bank would
be adequately capitalized and managed and that
its prospects are favorable. Consequently, under the first three statutory factors there is no objection to approval, but neither is approval affirmatively indicated.
Upon consideration of the convenience, needs,
and welfare of the area concerned, we find that
the establishment of a bank at the proposed site
is justified. However, the proposal to establish
Roseville State Bank raises a strong probability
that the convenience and needs of residents and
businesses in the Roseville area, to the extent that
they are not now served by existing banks, will be
provided for within a reasonable time even if
Northwest's application is denied. While this
consideration is not, in itself, adverse to Northwest,
it materially diminishes the weight of the arguments for approval based on the need for a bank
in Roseville.
Organization of the State bank was approved
by the Minnesota Department of Commerce on
March 6, 1961, "provided that the application
of the Roseville Northwestern National Bank
pending before the Federal Reserve Board shall
be denied. . . ." We make no conjecture as to
the effect such approval might have had upon the
favorable recommendations of the Hearing Officer
and the Comptroller of the Currency, which were
made prior to the State action, but in our view
it further lessens the importance of approval of
Northwest's application to the provision of banking facilities in Roseville.
We conclude upon the record as a whole that
considerations favorable to approval are outweighed by those that are adverse, and that this
application should therefore be denied.

LAW DEPARTMENT
STATEMENT OF GOVERNOR MILLS

Persuasive reasons for denying this application
focus on a choice between the proposed Roseville
State Bank and the proposed Roseville Northwestern National Bank as the more appropriate
commercial banking vehicle capable of adequately
serving the clearly demonstrated banking needs of
the growing community of Roseville. In this case,
the minimal expansion in the size of the applicant
Northwest Bancorporation that would result from
the proposed acquisition cannot be considered as
being contrary to the public interest on adverse
grounds of comparative size of competing commercial banking institutions operating in the Metropolitan Area of St. Paul-Minneapolis. In fact,
other things being equal, a strong argument could
be made for permitting the parent Northwest Bancorporation to make available its recognized high
quality banking services through the proposed
Roseville Northwestern National Bank to a section of the St. Paul-Minneapolis Metropolitan
Area that it does not materially serve at the present
time and which might benefit from the kind of




923
"service station" banking facilities that have been
evolved over the years for the convenient use of
population concentrations located within the territorial boundaries of a large metropolitan area.
Provision of this kind of commercial banking service can fill an important community need and is
not to be compared to the expansion of a bank
holding company into a distant geographical area
alien to the existing field of its operations.
In the instant case, however, the commercial
banking facilities proposed to be made available
by the Roseville State Bank for the community
of Roseville are indicated as being adequate for
the convenience, needs, and welfare of that community, and as they would be supplied by a new
competitive element introduced into the St. PaulMinneapolis commercial banking complex, primacy of the choice of banking services sought to
be granted should fall to the lot of that proposed
institution.
The application of the Northwest Bancorporation, Minneapolis, to establish the Roseville Northwestern National Bank consequently should be
denied.

1001). These series combine reported figures
for member bank deposits with estimates for nonmember banks. The estimates for nonmember
banks are based on ratios of nonmember deposits
to country member bank deposits derived from
regular Reports of Condition and interpolated for
intervening periods. These ratios are applied to
the semimonthly average deposit figures for country member banks.
The new series will appear in the BULLETIN
each month in the table on "Money Supply and
related Data" (see page 937); they will replace
the member bank data formerly shown in that
table.

National Summary of Business Conditions
Released for publication August 15

Industrial production, construction activity, and
nonfarm employment continued to increase in
July. The unemployment rate was unchanged.
Total commercial bank credit increased further,
while the money supply showed little change and
time deposits rose substantially. Following announcement in late July of a substantial increase
in defense spending, common stock prices rose
and yields on U. S. Government and on corporate
bonds advanced. Commodity prices generally
changed little.

duction of industrial and commercial machinery
increased and total output of business equipment
regained its mid-1960 level.
Output of iron and steel, other metals, and construction materials continued to rise. Total output of durable materials, however, was still somewhat below its high in early 1960 when inventory
accumulation was at an exceptionally rapid rate.
Nondurable materials reached another new high
as output of chemicals, paper, and some other
materials rose further.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

CONSTRUCTION

Industrial production rose further in July to a
new high as gains continued widespread among
both final products and materials. At 112 per cent
of the 1957 average, the index was 2 per cent
higher than in June and 2V2 per cent above the
plateau in the first half of 1960. The previous
high of 111 was in January 1960.
Output of consumer goods, already at a record
high in June, rose further in July. Output of
television and home radios remained at advanced
levels while production of most other home goods
and of consumer staples continued to increase.
Auto assemblies were unchanged after allowance
for the earlier model changeover this year. Pro-

New construction activity advanced 2 per cent
further in July to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $58.7 billion, a new high. Residential
and highway building continued to rise and activity
on military facilities increased sharply while most
other construction changed little.

1NDUSTR1AL PRODUCTION
1957 = 100

EMPLOYMENT

Seasonally adjusted employment in nonfarm establishments continued to rise in July, reflecting
further gains in durable goods industries and in
construction, trade, and services. At 53.4 million,
nonfarm employment was 1.2 million above the
March low and equal to the peak reached a year
earlier. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment was 6.9 per cent, about the level prevailing
since December.

Retail sales, which had increased more than 2
per cent from April to June, declined 1 per cent
in July mainly because of a decrease at stores in
the automotive group. Department store sales rose
further in July, and total sales at stores other than
the automotive group were nearly maintained; in
June total sales excepting the automotive group
had risen 2 per cent, almost regaining the peak
of April 1960.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • AUGUST 1961

7 per cent below the production record in 1960.
Feed grain output is expected to be down 15 per
cent from last year as acreage was reduced under
the Feed Grain Program. The cotton crop was
forecast at 13.9 million bales, 3 per cent less than
last year. Output of livestock and products is
increasing further this year.
COMMODITY PRICES

The comprehensive index of wholesale commodity prices has been relatively stable since mid-July.
Although prices of steel scrap and a few other
sensitive industrial materials have increased, prices
of basic commodities generally have shown little
change since July 25 when an increase in defense
spending was announced.

The average money supply, seasonally adjusted,
showed little change at the level prevailing since
late March. Time deposits increased substantially
further.
Member bank excess reserves averaged about
$600 million and borrowings from the Federal
Reserve averaged about $75 million over the four
weeks ending August 9. Between early July and
early August, reserves were absorbed principally by
reductions in Reserve Bank float and were supplied
by currency inflow and Federal Reserve purchases
of U. S. Government securities. Required reserves
rose reflecting mainly increases in U. S. Government deposits associated with bank purchases of
new Treasury securities.
SECURITY MARKETS

Total commercial bank credit increased further
in July, as banks added to holdings of U. S. Government securities in connection with Treasury
financing operations. Bank holdings of other
securities also rose while loans declined somewhat.

Common stock prices declined during the first
three weeks of July and then advanced substantially to new highs. Yields on U. S. Government
securities rose considerably after the third week
of July, and yields on corporate bonds also increased while those on State and local issues
changed little.

2 Includes $156,039,431 held as reserve against United States notes

is not included in total Treasury currency outstanding.
* Less than $500,000.
5 Because some of the types of currency shown are held as collateral or
reserves against other types, a grand total of all types has no special
significance and is not shown. See NOTE for explanation of duplications.
NOTE.—There are maintained in the Treasury—(1) as a reserve for
United States notes and Treasury notes of 1890—$156,039,431 in gold
bullion; (2) as security for Treasury notes of 1890—an equal dollar amount

and standard silver dollars of a monetary value equal to the face amount
of such silver certificates; and (4) as security for gold certificates—gold
bullion of a value at the legal standard equal to the face amount of
such gold certificates. Federal Reserve notes are obligations of the
United States and a first lien on all the assets of the issuing Federal Reserve
Bank. Federal Reserve notes are secured by the deposit with Federal
Reserve agents of a like amount of gold certificates or of gold certificates
and such discounted or purchased paper as is eligible under the terms of
the Federal Reserve Act, or of direct obligations of the United States.
Each Federal Reserve Bank must maintain a reserve in gold certificates of
at least 25 per cent against its Federal Reserve notes in actual circulation. Gold certificates deposited with Federal Reserve agents as collateral, and those deposited with the Treasury of the United States as a
redemption fund, are counted as reserve. Gold certificates, as herein
used, includes credits with the Treasurer of the United States payable
in gold certificates. Federal Reserve Bank notes and national bank
notes are in process of retirement.

in capital and miscellaneous accounts, net, and balances of the Postal
Savings System and the Exchange Stabilization Fund with the U. S.
Treasury are netted against capital and miscellaneous accounts, net,

and currency shown in the monthly Chart Book excludes foreign bank deposits, net, and Treasury cash. Except on call dates, figures are rounded
to nearest $100 million and may not add to the totals.

bank (two prior to July 1961 and three prior to 1960) that became members
in 1941 (these banks are excluded from all commercial banks).
Stock savings banks and nondeposit trust companies are included with
commercial banks. Number of banks includes a few noninsured banks,
for which asset and liability data are not available. Comparability of
figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by changes in Federal
Reserve membership, insurance status, and the reserve classifications of
cities and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
2 Beginning with June 30, 1942, excludes reciprocal balances, which on
Dec. 31, 1942, aggregated $513 million at all member banks and $525
million at all insured commercial banks.
3 Includes other assets and liabilities not shown separately.

1 Data for cols. 4-7 are for last Wednesday of month.
Ledger balances of member firms of the New York Stock Exchange
carrying margin accounts, as reported to the Exchange. Customers' debit
and free credit balances exclude balances maintained with the reporting
firm by other member firms of national securities exchanges and balances
of the reporting firm and of general partners of the reporting firm. Balances are net for each customer—i.e., all accounts of one customer are
consolidated. Money borrowed includes borrowings from banks and
from other lenders excerrt member firms of national securities exchanges.

3 Figures are for weekly reporting member banks. Prior to July 1959,
loans for purchasing or carrying U. S. Government securities were reported separately only by New York and Chicago banks. Accordingly,
for that period col. 5 includes any loans for purchasing or carrying such
securities at other reporting banks. Composition of series also changed
beginning with July 1959; revised data for the new reporting series (but
not for the breakdown of loans by purpose) are available back through
July 1958 and have been incorporated.

The figures include all securities sold by dealers under repurchase
contracts regardless of the maturity date of the contract unless the contract
is matched by a reverse repurchase (resale) agreement or delayed delivery
sale with the same maturity and involving the same amount of securities.
Included in the repurchase contracts are some that more nearly represent
investments by the holders of the securities rather than dealer trading
positions.

Data prior to 1957 are from the Bond Buyer as classified by Federal
Reserve.
2
Classifications prior to 1957 as to use of proceeds and type of issuer
are based principally on issues of $500,000 or more; smaller issues not
classified. As a result some categories, particularly education, are understated relative to later data.
3 Includes only bonds sold pursuant to the Housing Act of 1949.
These are secured by contract requiring the Public Housing Administration to make annual contributions to the local authority.
* Beginning with 1957, coverage is considerably broader than earlier.

Consists of municipalities, counties, townships, school districts and,
prior
to 1957, small unclassified issues.

of delivery of bonds to purchaser (and of payment to issuer), which occurs
after
date of sale. Other data in table are based on date of sale.
7
Includes urban redevelopment loans.
8 Beginning in 1957 this figure differs from that shown on the following
page, which is based on Bond Buyer data. The principal difference is in
the treatment of Federal Government loans.

On Jan. 1, 1959, holdings of commercial banks increased by $143
million, and those of mutual savings banks declined by that amount,
as a result of the absorption of a mutual savings bank by a commercial
bank.
5 Data reflect a $40 million reclassification by one bank from commercial and industrial to real estate loans, reported August 24, 1960.

Corporation from data supplied by Federal and State bank supervisory
agencies, Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Reserve.

Revised.
NOTE.—-Certain mortgage loans secured by land on which oil drilling
or extracting operations are in process are classified with farm through
June 1959 and with "other" nonfarm thereafter. These loans totaled
$38 million on July 31, 1959.
For loans acquired, the monthly figures may not add to annual totals
and for loans outstanding, the end-of-December figures may differ from

end-of-year figures, because monthly figures represent book value of
ledger assets whereas year-end figures represent annual statement asset
values, and because data for year-end adjustments are more complete.
SOURCE.—Institute of Life Insurance; end-of-year figures are from
Life Insurance Fact Book, and end-of-month figures from the Tally of
Life Insurance Statistics.

lExtensions and repayments include currant data for Alaska and
Hawaii beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The
differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the
effect of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
2
Obtained by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in note 1.
NOTE.—Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-48 of
the BULLETIN for October 1956; for 1955-59, in the BULLETIN for
December 1957, pp. 1420-22, November 1959, p. 1418, and December
1960, pp. 1406-09.

A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other
transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

1 Data on extensions and repayments have been adjusted to avoid
duplication resulting from large transfers of other consumer goods paper.
As a result, the differences between extension and repayments for some
types
of holders do not equal the changes in outstanding credit.
2
Extensions and repayments include current data for Alaska and
Hawaii beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The
differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the
effect
of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
3
Obtained by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in notes 1 and 2.

December 1957, pp. 1421-22, November 1959, p. 1419, and December
1960, pp. 1406-09.
A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

In Tables 3-4, figures for 1959 have been adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain structural changes,
in order to reflect only transaction flows. Structural changes are (1) the shift of banks in Alaska and
Hawaii from the finance n.e.c. sector to the commercial banking sector (2) and the shift of a large mutual
savings bank to the commercial banking sector resulting from a bank merger early in 1959. The adjustments apply to the first three quarters and to the annual totals for 1959.
Details may not add to totals because of rounding.
For other notes see pp. 985 and 987.

Beginning with 1959, figures include all banks in Alaska and Hawaii.
One national bank in Alaska with no branches and one in the Virgin
Islands with one branch have been included in this series since 1954 and
1957, respectively. Other banks in territories and possessions are excluded.
2
State member bank and insured mutual savings bank figures both
include, 1941 to 1959, inclusive, three member mutual savings banks not
included in the total for commercial banks; and subsequent figures reflect
the withdrawal of one from membership in 1960 and one in 1961. State
member bank figures also include, since 1954, one noninsured trust
company
without deposits.
3
Series revised as of June 30, 1947. The revision resulted in a net
addition of 115 banks and 9 branches.

checks are drawn and one member mutual savings bank.

NOTE.—Coverage has changed in some of the periods shown. Beginning with 1956, changes reflect the expended coverage and the new
classification of activities by type of fund now reported in the Treasury
Bulletin. Classifications by supervisory authorities are those in existence
currently. Where current Treasury compilations do not provide a detailed breakdown of loans, these items have been classified by Federal
Reserve on basis of information about the type of lending activity involved.

Tables on the following pages include the principal available statistics of current significance
relating to international capital transactions of
the United States, foreign gold reserves and dollar holdings, and the balance of payments of the
United States. The figures on international capital transactions are collected by the Federal Reserve Banks from banks, bankers, brokers, and

dealers in the United States in accordance with
the Treasury Regulation of November 12, 1934.
Other data are compiled largely from regularly
published sources such as central bank statements and official statistical bulletins. Back figures for 1941 and prior years, together with descriptive text, may be obtained from the Board's
publication, Banking and Monetary Statistics.

discounts or makes advances against eligible commercial paper and/or
government securities for commercial banks or brokers. For countries

Argentina—3 and 5 per cent for certain rural and industrial paper, depending on type of transaction;
Brazil—8 per cent for secured paper and 4 per cent for certain agricultural
paper;
Ceylon—4.0 per cent for advances against certain types of commercial
and production paper;

of up to 5 years, and 2 per cent for specific small business, cooperative
and employee paper;

bills; end-of-month rate shown.
4 Beginning with Apr. 1, 1959, new rediscounts have been granted at
the average rate charged by banks in the previous half year. Old rediscounts remain subject to old rates provided their amount is reduced by
one-eighth each month beginning May 1, 1959, but the rates are raised
by 1.5 per cent for each month in which the reduction does not occur.
5 Rate shown is for advances only.
^ Beginning with May 16, 1957, this rate applies to advances against
commercial paper as well as against government securities and other
eligible paper.
