Financial
Developments in the
Second Quarter
of 1971
This report, which was sent to the Joint Economic Com m ittee
of the U.S. Congress, highlights the important developments in
financial markets during the spring and early summer.
DOMESTIC FINANCIAL market conditions were influenced during

the second quarter of 1971 by a complex of factors that resulted
in a substantial rise in interest rates despite continued sharp
expansion in the monetary aggregates. However, even with the
general advance in interest rates over the quarter, midyear bor­
rowing costs in both short- and long-term markets were no higher
than the reduced levels that had been established by late fall of
last year.
The Nation’s output of goods and services rose further,
although by less than the exceptionally large increase for the
first quarter. Reflecting this further gain in spending as well as
precautionary demands for cash balances and other factors, the
narrowly defined money stock (privately held demand deposits
plus currency) increased at an 11 per cent annual rate over the
quarter. This was somewhat more rapid than the already strong
rate of advance recorded in the first quarter. Growth in other
monetary measures, however, although remaining quite strong
relatively, was substantially slower than in the first quarter.
A sharp further increase in the narrowly defined money stock
was not an unexpected development since conditions had pointed
in this direction from the outset of the quarter. However, be­
cause interest rates were already being pushed upward by other
factors, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to move

cautiously in instituting action to moderate this growth; it was
felt that additional strong upward pressures on rates would be
inappropriate when the economy was just beginning to recover
its forward momentum. As the quarter progressed and it be­
came apparent that the tendency for the monetary aggregates to
rise was stronger than initially estimated, some further firming
actions were taken.
The combination of Federal Reserve action and further
growth in GNP produced a significant increase in money market
rates, which was reflected more generally in smaller advances
of other interest rates. In addition, borrowing in capital markets
by business firms and State and local governments remained
quite substantial over the quarter, while investors became some­
what more reluctant to acquire the oncoming supply of new
issues. This increased investor caution reflected uncertainties
regarding the potential strength of the current economic recovery,
the chances for further abatement of inflationary pressures, the
possibility of tighter monetary conditions, and the future value
of various currencies in foreign exchange markets. Substantial
outflows of U.S. funds occurred prior to the German decision
to permit the mark to float in early May, and the indicated deficit
in U.S. balance of payments for the quarter was very large.

Reflecting the impact of these various forces, yields on new
corporate issues rose about one-half of a percentage point, and
somewhat larger advances were recorded in yields on other types
of bonds. Advances in short-term market rates were considerably
larger— the market rate on 90-day Treasury bills, for example,
increased about 150 basis points from the last week in March
to the last week in June— so that the wide spreads formerly
prevailing between short- and long-term rates narrowed some­
what.
Despite continued weakness in business loan demands, banks
also raised the rates charged on loans to their prime customers,
apparently in response to the general uptrend in open market
rates that had the effect of raising marginal costs of bank funds.
Advancing a quarter of a percentage point early in the quarter,
the prime rate was raised a further half a point to 6 per cent by a
few banks in late June and this higher rate was generally
adopted by early July. With money market rates and bank prime
rates up substantially, Federal Reserve Bank discount rates were
raised one-quarter of a percentage point to 5 per cent in midJuly in order to bring the cost of such borrowing at these banks
into better alignment with the cost to banks of obtaining funds
from other sources.
AGGREGATES The monetary aggregates continued to expand at a strong pace




in the second quarter of 1971. In particular, the narrowly defined
money stock (M i) displayed a very sharp advance, rising at an
annual rate of about 11 per cent. This rate of increase was 2
percentage points larger than in the first quarter when a catch­
up in money demands from the low growth of late last year was
an important explanatory factor. The unusually rapid rate of
increase was apparently attributable in part to increased demand
to hold money balances in view of uncertainties regarding
financial developments and the economy generally. Primarily,
however, the increase reflected the impact on transaction de­
mands for money of the substantial expansion in expenditures
that occurred in both the first and second quarters of the year
and the lagged response of consumer demands for money to the
sharp earlier decline of market interest rates. For the first and
second quarters combined, Mi increased at an annual rate of
10 per cent, closely paralleling the rate of expansion in nominal
GNP from the fourth quarter of 1970 to the second quarter of
1971.

Growth in broader measures of money balances that include
interest-bearing deposits (other than large negotiable certificates
of deposit, which are really money market instruments) receded
considerably from the exceptionally rapid rate of advance in the
first quarter. Growth in the time and savings deposit components
of these measures, while still quite strong in comparison with
historical standards, was limited by the rise in interest rates on
competing market instruments, as well as by the scattered reduc­
tions that banks made early in the quarter in rates paid on such
deposits. In addition, it seems likely that the massive reinter­
mediation— the shift back into deposit accounts at thrift institu­
tions from market securities, which represented a reversal of
transactions undertaken during the tight money period of 1969
and early 1970— had largely run its course by the end of winter.
Sales of CD’s picked up in the last 2 months of the quarter
after showing little change following their January bulge. This
May-June strengthening was apparently in part a reflection of
corporate demands for short-term liquid assets encouraged by
bank efforts to compete more vigorously for CD’s. Growth in
CD’s was also stimulated to some extent by the side effects of
the international financial crisis in early May. Following that
crisis a substantial volume of dollar holdings accumulated by

Nevertheless, despite the end-of-quarter pick-up, the net increase
in CD’s fell short of the first-quarter expansion. This shortfall,
along with a decline in U.S. Treasury balances and a further
sharp decline in nondeposit sources of funds (chiefly in Euro­
dollar borrowings), reduced the rate of expansion in the adjusted
bank credit proxy to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.5
per cent, about AVt. percentage points below the first-quarter
rate of growth.

COMMERCIAL BANK
USES OF FUNDS




With lendable funds readily availabie while demands for
business loans remained relatively weak, commercial banks
continued to channel a large volume of funds into securities.
Total investments increased by somewhat more than $5 billion
in the second quarter; although about $3.5 billion less than the
extraordinary first-quarter increase, this was still large by his­
torical standards. As in the first quarter, municipal securities
and Federal agency issues accounted for about two-thirds of
the expansion. The growth that occurred in holdings of U.S. Gov­
ernment securities resulted mainly from bank participation in
the underwriting of the Treasury’s late June sale of 1 6 ^ -month

notes carrying a 6 per cent coupon for which payment could be

The rate of expansion of total loans slowed to some extent
in the second quarter, mainly due to a reversal of the earlier
sharp rise in security loans. Growth in business loans remained
quite modest by historical standards, but real estate loans ex­
panded at a faster pace than the already strong rate of increase
established in the first quarter. Consumer loan growth was also
stronger than in the first quarter. The continued strength in real
estate loans reflects the sustained recovery in residential con­
struction that reached boom proportions late last year, while
the further rise in consumer loans is attributable to continued
strength in purchases of durable goods by consumers, following
the first-quarter resurgence in such purchases after settlement
of the auto strike.

Growth in business loans over the second quarter, at an

annual rate of about 3 per cent, continued the general pattern
of sluggishness in such credit demands that began in the latter
half of last year. The same factors that dampened business loan
developments in the past still appear to have been at work.
Balance sheet restructuring by large business firms continued,
as an additional substantial volume of long-term debt and equity
instruments were sold; some of the proceeds of these financings
were used to repay short-term debt and to meet other current
bills that otherwise would have been financed with bank loans
and other short-term sources of funds. In both the first and
second quarters, moreover, the pick-up in corporate profits ac­
companying the cyclical recovery served to reduce the over-all
need for external sources of funds in an environment where busi­
ness capital spending had leveled out and inventory investment
remained quite moderate.
Over recent quarters, business loan demands at smaller com­
mercial banks have not displayed the weakness experienced by
large commercial banks. This contrasting experience reflects
differences in the nature of loan demands facing the two groups
of banks. Principal business customers of the smaller banks are
generally smaller firms that may not experience the same fluctua­
tion in inventory positions as large corporations. In addition,
they do not have the option of obtaining a major part of their
external funds from the capital market, and hence would not
have been repaying short-term debt in volume out of nonbank
fund sources.

Deposit growth at nonbank thrift institutions slowed to an annual
rate of 17 per cent in the second quarter of 1971 from the ex­
traordinarily high 23 per cent rate evident in the first quarter.
However, the second-quarter rate still exceeded by a wide
margin that for any quarter of 1970. While consumer savings
continued to increase, as evidenced by the slight rise in the
personal saving rate from the first to the second quarter of 1971,
the upturn in yields on competing short-term investments was
probably a factor in the moderation of savings growth at deposi­
tary institutions. The tapering of the reintermediation process
also affected nonbank savings deposit growth.
Savings and loan associations used part of the funds they had
acquired in the first quarter to repay advances from the Federal
home loan banks, but both their new commitments and mortgage
acquisitions increased faster than in the first 3 months of the
year. Although mutual savings banks also increased their mort­
gage activity, they continued to invest heavily in corporate bonds
as well, as yields on such issues rose appreciably from April to
June. Over the first 6 months of 1971, corporate security invest­
ments accounted for about three-fifths of the over-all net increase
in mutual savings bank assets, a substantially higher proportion
than the average for the first half of 1969 or 1970.
Net mortgage debt formation increased at a record quarterly
rate of $9.1 billion, seasonally adjusted, during the second quarter
of 1971. Reflecting the sharply accelerated pace of housing and
related activity, net expansion of residential mortgage debt
reached a new high; but the pace of nonresidential mortgage debt
formation slowed somewhat from the record first-quarter rate. As
in the previous quarter, savings and loan associations provided
the greatest impetus to the over-all expansion, although the
other major depositary institutions were also quite active.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

For the second consecutive quarter, the Federal National
Mortgage Association reduced its gross mortgage holdings.
However, a sharp increase in commitment activity by FNMA
during the second quarter suggests that support for the mortgage
market from that agency is likely to be increasing in the near
term.

FUNDS RAISED IN
SEC U R ITY M ARKETS




The volume of new corporate security issues declined in the
second quarter from the record level in the first quarter. Public
issues of corporate bonds moderated, as many large firms had
apparently completed their restructuring requirements in the
fall and winter months. However, private placements rose as
cash flows at insurance companies improved this year. Further­
more, new equity issues were at a record level in the second
quarter, despite the lack of vigor in the stock market during May
and June. New offerings of stocks came from a wide variety of
industries, but utilities represented about one-third of the total.
Offerings of long-term debt by State and local governments
in the April-June period also fell below the peak first-quarter
volume, but volume has now been at a monthly-average level
of $2 billion or more for three quarters. A large backlog of con­
struction needs and a desire to fund some of the unusually large
amount of outstanding short-term debt have contributed to the
demand for long-term funds by State and local units.

Total net borrowing by the U.S. Government from the public
was unchanged from that of the previous quarter, but the Treas­
ury was able to rebuild its cash balance over the 3-month period
due partly to the sale of special issues to foreign central banks in
May. Large paydowns of debt by the Federal home loan banks
resulted in net repayment of debt by the federally sponsored
credit agencies during the quarter.

INTEREST RATES




Money market conditions tightened appreciably in the second
quarter of 1971. Commercial banks raised the prime rate, in
two steps, back to the 6 per cent level prevailing early in the year.
Rates on Treasury bills, Federal funds, and commercial paper
increased more than 100 basis points from late March through
June. By the end of June, the 90-day Treasury bill yield, for
example, had returned to the 5 per cent level, well above the
1971 low of 3.32 per cent reached in mid-March but still far
below the December 1969 high— which was close to 8 per cent.
In mid-July, the Federal Reserve raised the discount rate to 5 per
cent, in order to bring the rate into closer alignment with other
market rates, to assist in holding down inflationary pressures,
and to discourage member bank borrowing at the discount win­
dow. Such borrowing began to rise sharply in June and amounted
to almost $1 billion in mid-July, as contrasted to a level of about
$250 million at the end of the first quarter.
Accompanying the sharp increase in short-term interest rates
was a smaller rise in long-term rates. In June monthly-average

yields on 20-year Government bonds and new high-grade cor­
porate bonds were 44 basis points higher than in March. Yields
on new corporate issues of highest quality were close to the 8
per cent level by the end of June. This represented a reversal of
the first-quarter decline in yields, but these rates were still only
about 30 basis points higher than the 1970 low. Interest rates
on tax-exempt bonds rose almost 80 basis points over the second
quarter with the long-term end of the market particularly affected
by a slackening of acquisitions by commercial banks and casualty
insurance companies. Reflecting the rising level of other long­
term rates, yields on FHA mortgages in secondary markets had
risen 57 basis points from March through June. Since flows of
funds to mortgage lenders remained ample, however, rates on
conventional mortgages did not show a corresponding rise. The
average contract rate on conventional first mortgages reached
7.70 per cent in June, only 10 basis points above the March
level.

Study Summaries
A TEST OF THE “ EXPECTATIONS HYPOTHESIS” USING DIRECTLY OBSERVED WAGE AND
PRICE EXPECTATIONS

Stephen J. Turnovsky, University of Toronto, and
Michael L. Wachter, University of Pennsylvania
This paper was prepared under a grant from the Social Science Research Council in connection with a continu­
ing study of the impact of monetary policy directed by the SSRC Subcommittee on Monetary Research. This
research effort is sponsored by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The paper was presented
at a conference of the Subcommittee, Washington, D.C., April 30, 1971.

Recent research directed at improving the
theoretical underpinning of the Phillips
curve relationship has given rise to several
new models of wage determination. One
theory that has received considerable atten­
tion is the “expectations hypothesis,” which
suggests that money wages depend upon ex­
pectations of future prices and/or money
wages, as well as the unemployment rate.
The absence of money illusion implies that
these expectational variables should enter
the wage equation with a coefficient equal to
unity. This in turn would imply the absence
of a long-run money wage-unemployment




trade-off or equivalently the existence of a
long-run, vertical Phillips curve that passes
through the “natural” rate of unemployment.
Unfortunately, direct observations on ex­
pectations are not widely available and so a
proxy variable needs to be substituted for the
expectations variable. In the literature, the
typical solution to this problem is to assume
that expectations of price and/or money
wage changes are generated by a distributed
lag on past values of these variables. In this
paper, direct survey data on price and wage
expectations are introduced. This is done
with a twofold objective. First, the expecta­
649

650

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

tions data are used directly as explanatory
variables in wage equations to test the expec­
tations hypothesis. Second, an attempt is
made to explain the wage expectations series.
The major results of the paper are as fol­
lows: First, expectations of wage or price
changes are important in explaining the be­
havior of actual wage changes. Second, the
size of the response of actual wage changes
to the expectations variable is largely invari­
ant with respect to the specification of the
wage equation. The average response is ap­
proximately 0.35, with a small variance, and
a range of approximately ±0.15. This is
considerably less than the coefficient of
unity, which is the value required for con­
firmation of the neoclassical expectations hy­

pothesis. Finally, attempts to explain the
wage expectations series show that the
simple adaptive or extrapolative expecta­
tions hypothesis is not satisfactory. A more
general model— which posits that expected
wage changes are a function of unemploy­
ment, of unemployment lagged one period,
and of expected price changes (or actual
price changes)— is much more successful.
The coefficients suggest that expectations (in
keeping with the expectations model) are
largely formed in real terms, but that these
real wage expectations are generally constant
over the postwar period. This latter result
follows from the fact that the sum of the
coefficients on the two unemployment terms
is approximately zero.

MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS AS A SOURCE OF LOANABLE FUNDS

Robert Moore Fisher— Staff, Board of Governors
Prepared as a staff paper and completed in the summer of 1971

This paper explores the subject of repay­
ments to lenders of principal on outstanding
mortgages— a flow of funds amounting to
several billion dollars each month. Graphic,
tabular, statistical, and descriptive ap­
proaches are used to analyze the influence of
major shifts in monetary policy on fluctua­
tions in mortgage repayments. Cyclical
changes in these repayments are significant
not only because they provide a variable flow
of funds available for new mortgage lending
but also because they affect earnings of mort­
gage lenders that compete for savings.
Also discussed are the impact on sched­
uled amortization of original interest rate
and maturity terms and the effect on un­
scheduled prepayments of subsequent
changes in availability and cost of credit on
new mortgages. Sources of data include
statistics for repayments on mortgages held




by insured savings and loan associations,
mutual savings banks, reporting life insur­
ance companies, and the Federal National
Mortgage Association and on mortgages in­
sured by the Federal Housing Administra­
tion. Trends in scheduled amortization are
compared with those in unscheduled prepay­
ments for all mortgages held by New York
State mutual savings banks and for all out­
standing home mortgages insured by the
FHA.
The study indicates that mortgage repay­
ments during recent decades have provided
a flow of funds to savings and loan associa­
tions and mutual savings banks that has
often been larger and usually more stable
than net savings flows and has invariably
been positive. However, the impact of
changes in monetary policy on net savings
flows has been reinforced by cyclical swings

in unscheduled mortgage prepayments,
which were quite low in 1970. Meanwhile,
scheduled amortization rates on outstanding
loans have tended downward secularly with
long-run increases in interest rates and ma­
turities on newly originated mortgages. With

tion depressed in 1970, total mortgage re­
payment rates were reported to be the lowest
in several decades. Thus, lenders were able to
improve their portfolio earnings only to a

repaid with new loans at the postwar high
levels of interest rates reached in 1970.

Statements to Congress
Statement by Arthur F. Burns, Chairman,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, before the Committee on Banking
and Currency, House of Representatives,
July 2 0 ,1 9 7 1 .

Developments over the past year or so have
underscored the need for standby authority
for Government guarantees of loans to
business firms in emergencies where the
alternative could be severe damage to the
national economy. We hope that such
guarantees will be needed only rarely, if at
all. But in the light of recent experience,
the prudent course is to put in place loan
guarantee machinery, to provide better pro­
tection against the risk that a temporary
liquidity problem of one business enterprise
may grow into a major national problem.
One example of how this could happen
came in mid-1970. The insolvency of the
Penn Central Transportation Company, a
prominent borrower in the commercial
paper market, was followed by a sharp con­
traction of credit in that market. Since
commercial paper is unsecured, investors
backed away from other issuers about whom
there was any question. Concern spread
through other credit markets, fed by fears
that some firms with maturing commercial
paper might be unable to obtain refinancing
from alternative sources and would thus be
forced into bankruptcy. With investors gen­
erally becoming more cautious, companies
with credit ratings less than Aaa experienced
increasing difficulty in borrowing through
N o t e .-Chairman Burns delivered a similar state­
ment. to the Committee on Banking, Housing and
Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate, June 16, 1971 ( B u l l e t in
of June 1971, pp. 491-94).




the bond market, as was evidenced by the
sharp widening of spreads in the structure
of corporate bond yields. In short, there
appeared to be a risk of bankruptcies
spreading to firms that in other circum­
stances would be regarded as perfectly
sound.
Confronted with an incipient crisis, the
Federal Reserve System acted promptly to
assure the availability of loanable funds to
meet the credit needs of firms that were
being squeezed by the contraction of the
commercial paper market. First, the System
made it clear to member banks that the dis­
count window would be available to assist
them in meeting such needs. Second, the
Board of Governors suspended ceilings on
the rates of interest that member banks could
pay on certificates of deposit of $100,000
or over. In this way banks were placed in a
much better position to attract funds to lend
to their hard-pressed customers.
These two actions helped to restore con­
fidence, and fear of a liquidity crisis abated.
We can all take comfort from the fact that
the money and credit markets met the tests
of mid-1970 successfully. Looking ahead,
however, we need better assurance that tem­
porary liquidity problems of major corpora­
tions will not be allowed to damage the na­
tional economy.
Congress is now considering this issue in
connection with the pressing financial dif­
ficulties of another business enterprise, the
Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. In testify­
ing today, it is certainly no part of my pur­
pose to suggest that Congress delay its deci­
sion about Lockheed. My aim is rather to
recommend that your committee, with
Lockheed fresh in mind, address itself to
653

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

the question of devising more general stand­
ards and procedures to govern credit guar­
antees in possible future emergencies.
The Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System believes there are several
guiding principles that should be followed
in designing such assistance. First, assist­
ance should be reserved for those rare
instances where it is needed to enable a
sound enterprise to continue to furnish
goods or services to the public, and where
failure to meet that need could have serious
consequences for the Nation’s output, em­
ployment, and finances.
Second, since the assistance is designed
to protect the public interest, it follows
that it should not be used simply to protect
large firms from failure, or to bail out bad
management, or to shield creditors or share­
holders from the consequences of unwise
investments. Guarantees should be a last
resort, issued only when there is reasonable
assurance of repayment of the guaranteed
loan and when there is no other way to avoid
serious injury to the economy. Since any
such guarantee would be subject to condi­
tions assuring a preferential status for the
Government relative to other creditors or
shareholders in the event of insolvency, and
since guarantees would be available only
in emergencies, the existence of the authority
should not in any real sense erode the dis­
ciplines of the private enterprise system.
Rather, it should be regarded as a kind of
insurance policy to protect the general public
against a highly specialized risk.
Third, assistance should be provided
through Federal guarantees of private loans
rather than through outright advances of
public funds. Aside from its obvious budget
savings, this approach would have the
advantage of assuring that experienced
private lending officers will administer the
loans in accordance with Federal guidelines
and supervision.




Fourth, to assure thorough and wellbalanced consideration of the need for
assistance, responsibility for passing on
guarantees should be vested in top Federal
officials concerned with over-all economic
and financial policy. We suggest that this
function be vested in a board chaired by the
Secretary of the Treasury, with the Secre­
tary of Commerce and the Chairman of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System as members. No permanent staff
would be required, since guarantees would
be issued only under exceptional circum­
stances, and staff could be assigned as
needed from the governmental units repre­
sented on the board. Thus, no bureaucracy
would be created with an interest in expand­
ing the “program.” There would be no “pro­
gram”— only standby authority, ready for
use in the event of need.
Fifth, Congress should be informed in
advance of any proposed guarantee, so that
it will have an opportunity to review the
proposal to the fullest extent consistent with
the need for prompt action.
These principles are embodied in a bill,
H.R. 8962, submitted to the Congress by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and introduced by Chairman Patman
by request. The bill approved by the Senate
Committee on Banking, Housing and
Urban Affairs follows the same general
pattern, except for the make-up of the
Emergency Loan Guarantee Board. Both
the Senate bill and H.R. 8962 provide for a
three-man board, with the Secretary of the
Treasury as Chairman and the Chairman of
the Board of Governors of the Federal
System as a member. They differ, however,
as to the third member. Under H.R. 8962,
the other member would be the Secretary of
Commerce, but under the Senate bill he
would be the President of the Federal Re­
serve Bank of the district in which the pro­
spective borrower is located. In the unlikely

STATEMENTS TO CONGRESS

event that two or more applications were
pending at one time involving borrowers in
different Federal Reserve districts, the make­
up of the board would be uncertain. Per­
haps arrangements could be worked out to
divide the board’s responsibilities so that
each of its actions would be related to a
particular application, with one of the three
members changing according to the bor­
rower’s location. But such arrangements
would make it difficult to achieve a con­
sistent policy in passing on guarantee ap­
plications. The Board of Governors strongly
prefers the provisions of H.R. 8962 in this
respect.
I can well understand that Members of
Congress may be concerned about possible
abuse of the guarantee authority, and insist
therefore on safeguards to ensure careful
evaluation of proposed guarantees. Both
H.R. 8962 and the Senate bill include such
safeguards. Under either bill we can antici­
pate very limited use of guarantees. Both
bills avoid the creation of a new bureaucracy
which might develop an interest in drum­
ming up business. Both bills provide for
advance notice to Congress before a guar­
antee may be issued, to assure an opportu­
nity for congressional review. Both bills
assure that the new board will have the
benefit of the independent judgment of the
Chairman of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System.
Both bills also recognize the key role of
the Secretary of the Treasury by designating
him as chairman of the new board. If Con­
gress objects to having two Cabinet officers
serving as members of the board, perhaps
the Chairman of the Securities and Ex­
change Commission, an independent agency,
should be considered as an alternative to the
Secretary of Commerce. But the Senate
bill would allot two votes on the new board
to officials of the Federal Reserve System
who are to serve in an individual capacity,




655

while providing only one vote to the admin­
istration official who serves as chairman.
Thus it would create confusion as to whether
the administration or the Federal Reserve
System should be held accountable for the
new board’s actions. Both the administration
and the Federal Reserve System would be
given the appearance of responsibility with­
out the authority to exercise it.
In other respects the bill reported to the
Senate carries out the general recommenda­
tions of the Board of Governors. Whatever
decision is reached about Lockheed, we
hope that it will be possible for Congress to
agree upon a longer-range solution along
the lines of H.R. 8962, or the Senate bill
with the amendment we suggest. Experience
has demonstrated the need for this kind of
protective umbrella for our economy.

Statement by Arthur F. Burns, Chairman,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, before the Joint Economic Com ­
m ittee , July 2 3 ,1 9 7 1 .

I am pleased to meet with you again today
to report the views of the Board of Gover­
nors of the Federal Reserve System regard­
ing the state of the economy at midyear.
Since I last appeared before this com­
mittee on February 19, it has become evident
that a cyclical recovery of our economy has
commenced. Indicators of future business
activity, which were already rising in the
latter part of 1970, have strengthened fur­
ther. Comprehensive measures of current
activity— such as the physical volume of
industrial production, total employment, re­
tail sales adjusted for price changes, and
total real output of goods and services—
have shown moderate improvement as the
year has progressed. We are confident that
this recovery process will continue and
broaden in the months to come.

656

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

Nonetheless, some of the economic prob­
lems that have troubled us as a people over
the recent past are still much in evidence.
Large increases in wages and prices persist
in the face of extensive unemployment of
labor and capital. The international balance
of payments remains unsatisfactory; indeed,
our fragile export surplus has disappeared
in recent months. In financial markets,
interest rates are responding to fears of con­
tinued high rates of inflation by moving up
again despite rapid monetary expansion.
And while business profits have improved
somewhat, they remain exceptionally low.
The cost-push inflation we are experienc­
ing, and the widespread concern over con­
tinued rapid inflation, are a grave obstacle
to the full economic improvement we all
ardently seek. As long as inflation persists,
consumers are likely to remain rather con­
servative in their spending plans, fearing the
possibility of budgetary overcommitment.
As long as inflation persists, businessmen are
likely to remain cautious in their investment
policies, apprehensive that profit margins
may erode despite higher prices. As long as
inflation persists, financial investors will re­
main reluctant to commit funds to long-term
securities unless they are compensated by a
higher interest rate. Expectations of inflation
thus permeate the gamut of private decisions
to spend and invest, and this is restraining
the private efforts needed for vigorous and
sustained economic recovery.
A year or two ago it was generally ex­
pected that extensive slack in resource use,
such as we have been experiencing, would
lead to significant moderation in the in­
flationary spiral. This has not happened,
either here or abroad. The rules of econom­
ics are not working in quite the way they
used to. Despite extensive unemployment in
our country, wage rate increases have not
moderated. Despite much idle industrial
capacity, commodity prices continue to rise




rapidly. And the experience of other in­
dustrial countries, particularly Canada and
Great Britain, shouts warnings that even a
long stretch of high and rising unemploy­
ment may not suffice to check the inflation­
ary process.
I shall return to the causes and implica­
tions of this new rigidity in our economic
structure at a later point. Let me turn first,
however, to a brief review of economic
developments during the first half of 1971,
and to the supportive role that public policy
has played— and will continue to play— in
the evolving economic recovery.
RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

The performance of the economy during the
first half of 1971 is not easy to interpret be­
cause many crosscurrents are always present
in the vicinity of a cyclical turning point. In
addition, the rebound from the extended
auto strike last fall and the accumulation of
steel inventories in anticipation of a possible
strike this summer have been distorting the
underlying trend.
Abstracting from these transitory influ­
ences, the record of the first half of 1971 is
one of gradual, but quickening, recovery.
Late last year, only the construction industry
exhibited significant strength, as the sharp
recovery in residential building that began
in the spring was joined by renewed ex­
pansion in the construction programs of
State and local governments. Early this year
consumer spending began to improve, with
increases of sales spreading to a wide variety
of consumer items. The sales of retailers
other than automobile dealers rose at about
a 10 per cent annual rate in the second
quarter— considerably more than normal
and well above the rise in consumer goods
prices. Recently, activity in our factories
has also been stepped up, especially in con­
sumer goods lines. The index of industrial
production, adjusted to exclude autos and

STATEMENTS TO CONGRESS

steel, rose at a 6 per cent annual rate be­
tween March and June.
The improving trend of business is being
supported by a faster rate of growth in
personal incomes. During the 3 months from
March through May, total personal income
rose at an annual rate of 8 per cent, com­
pared with a 6 per cent rate over the previ­
ous 6 months. Governmental transfer pay­
ments, which have been contributing to re­
cent income growth, were particularly large
during June when the retroactive increase in
social security benefits was paid. The flow
of private wage and salary payments has
also quickened, in response to some gain in
manhours worked as well as to continued
large increases in wage rates. And while
employers have not yet re-entered the labor
market for appreciable numbers of new em­
ployees, further business improvement
should soon lead to faster employment
growth also.
Inventory investment promises to supply
an added source of economic impetus in the
months ahead, after allowance for a prob­
able rundown in steel stockpiles. Thus far in
the recovery, there has been little accumula­
tion of inventories, apart from the restocking
by automobile dealers and strike-hedge buy­
ing by steel merchants and users. But with
business sales rising, and the ratio of inven­
tories to output and to sales declining in
many lines, we are coming closer to the time
when needs for larger inventories— of raw
materials, work in process, and finished
goods— will begin to express themselves.
The adjustment of stocks to higher levels of
activity will in turn generate further in­
creases in output, employment, and incomes.
This is a common element in cyclical re­
coveries, and I judge that we are approach­
ing that point in the current recovery proc­
ess.
There are grounds for concern, nonethe­
less, with regard to some features of the re­




657

covery now underway. First, there is little
evidence as yet of any material strengthen­
ing in consumer or business confidence.
Recent surveys of consumer attitudes show
only modest improvement, while uneasiness
appears to persist among many businessmen
and investors regarding the effects of con­
tinuing rapid increases in labor costs on
future profitability. Confidence is likely to
strengthen with the passage of time, as sales
and employment conditions improve. But
there is a danger that hesitation and uncer­
tainty will continue on an extensive scale
until significant progress is made in moderat­
ing inflation. Greater success in the battle
against inflation is probably the most impor­
tant single prerequisite of more rapid and
enduring economic expansion.
Second, our international competitive
position appears to have deteriorated. In the
first 5 months of 1971, imports spurted and
our normal trade surplus vanished. This is
a distressingly poor performance in an
economy experiencing substantial under­
utilization of its resources of labor and
capital. The problem is dramatized by the
success of foreign manufacturers in captur­
ing a rapidly expanding share of our auto­
mobile market. In the past 6 months, sales
of foreign models have accounted for 16
per cent of total U.S. sales and, in addition,
close to one-tenth of the American models
sold were produced in Canada. It may be
tempting to react to foreign competition by
imposing added restrictions and quotas on
imports, but such a policy would not serve
our national interests. The constructive
course is to bring inflation under control and
to stimulate our businessmen to increase
their penetration of the expanding markets
abroad and to compete more effectively with
foreign producers in our domestic markets.
I would favor consideration of new Govern­
ment incentives toward this end.
Third, there is as yet no evidence of re­

658

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN a AUGUST 1971

surgence in business capital spending pro­
grams. New orders for capital equipment
show little— if any— recovery from the 1970
lows when allowance is made for rising
prices. Construction contract footage for
commercial and industrial buildings remains
far below earlier highs. Official surveys of
business spending plans for plant and equip­
ment show no increase, even in dollar terms,
for the remainder of this year. The hesitation
in business investment may reflect the sizable
amounts of unused capacity that presently
exist. But it also results, I believe, from low
business profits and uncertainty about the
profit outlook. History indicates rather
clearly that a vigorous, sustained economic
recovery requires a strengthening trend in
business capital investment.
We need to encourage business firms to
undertake new capital investment; and I
strongly supported, therefore, the liberaliza­
tion of depreciation allowances recently
adopted by the Treasury. I have also en­
dorsed the general proposition that an in­
vestment tax credit be adopted permanently.
At the moment, however, I am doubtful
about the wisdom of restoring the invest­
ment tax credit— or of taking other stimu­
lative fiscal actions— in view of the state of
the Federal budget. In the fiscal year just
ended, the budget deficit was in excess of
$20 billion. It will remain very large in fiscal
1972. Many influential citizens in the busi­
ness and financial community view this sit­
uation with alarm, so that these large budget
deficits have become an important psy­
chological factor contributing both to in­
flationary expectations and to high interest
rates.
A large part of the budget deficit is, of
course, attributable to the shortfall in tax
receipts stemming from sluggishness in the
economy. Some expenditures, notably on
unemployment insurance and welfare, have
risen for this same reason. Even taking these




factors into account, however, the Federal
budget is more stimulative now than a year
or two ago. The President submitted in Jan­
uary a moderately expansive budget for
fiscal 1972, and since then the net effect of
congressional actions has been to make it
more stimulative. Social security benefits
have been liberalized, retroactive to the first
of the year, and the scheduled increase in
social security taxes postponed for a year.
The public service employment bill has be­
come law, and it appears probable that the
military pay raise bill will be larger than
the budget proposals. These and other
actions, along with increases in the so-called
uncontrollable items in the budget, as Chair­
man McCracken reported to you, have
served to raise estimated expenditures $5
billion above those originally proposed for
fiscal 1972, and to reduce estimated receipts
by some $2 billion.
I would not want to rule out additional
fiscal stimulus if the recovery in the economy
should prove to be well below normal pro­
portions, particularly if such a move were
preceded or accompanied by a more effec­
tive incomes policy. But I would urge cau­
tion at the present time. Once confidence
becomes stronger, we may find that there is
enough fiscal stimulus already at work.
And in any case, the fear of inflation is much
too great, and its potential effect on private
behavior too negative, to run the risk of
taking new fiscal actions that would now
seem imprudent.

Let me turn next to monetary policy, and
to the substantial contribution it has made to
stimulating economic activity over the past
year.
The shift toward monetary expansion
early in 1970 was rather promptly followed
by a resurgence in bank deposits and in the
flow of funds to other financial intermedi­

STATEMENTS TO CONGRESS

aries. As financial institutions rebuilt their
liquidity, they became more eager lenders,
the availability of credit increased greatly,
and interest rates declined. As a result, hous­
ing starts rebounded and State and local
government construction began to rise more
briskly. More receptive credit markets also
enabled our business corporations to issue
new securities in record volume, thereby re­
building their liquidity and putting them­
selves in a financial position to expand pro­
duction and the capital investment that they
may wish to carry forward later on.
Late last year, as this committee knows,
there was a marked decline in the rate of
expansion of the narrowly defined money
supply— that is, currency plus demand
deposits. In these circumstances, a brief
period of more rapid expansion in the money
supply to compensate for the fourth quarter
shortfall seemed appropriate. The System,
consequently, provided bank reserves lib­
erally over the winter months, and interest
rates— partly reflecting the increased supply
of reserves— declined sharply further. Ex­
pansion of the narrowly defined money sup­
ply rose to a 9 per cent annual rate during
the first quarter of this year; but the average
growth rate for the fourth and first quarters
combined, being little more than 6 per cent,
remained very close to the earlier trend in
1970.
This March and April, the Federal Re­
serve System faced a dilemma. Information
available at that time suggested that high
rates of monetary growth might well persist
under existing conditions in the money
market. Interest rates, however, were already
displaying a tendency to rise, and vigorous
action to restrain monetary growth might
have raised them sharply further. In view of
the delicate state of the economic recovery,
which was just getting underway, it seemed
desirable to prevent the possible adverse
effects of sharply higher interest rates on




659

expenditure plans and public psychology.
The Federal Open Market Committee
decided, therefore, to move very cautiously
toward restraining the growth of the mone­
tary aggregates.
With the benefit of hindsight, I now feel
that stronger action was warranted this
spring. For, as matters turned out, we ex­
perienced even faster monetary growth in
the second quarter than had been antici­
pated, while interest rates also moved sub­
stantially higher. Present estimates indicate
that the narrowly defined money supply
rose at an annual rate of 11 per cent in the
second quarter. However, growth in a
more broadly defined money supply— that
is, currency, plus demand deposits, plus
commercial bank time deposits other than
large denomination CD’s— receded from an
annual rate of 18 per cent in the first quarter
to a rate of 13 per cent in the next 3 months.
It is worth noting also that bank credit ex­
pansion has been considerably more re­
strained than growth in any of the measures
of the money supply. Total bank credit rose
at a 12 per cent annual rate during the first
quarter and then dropped to a 7 per cent
rate in the second.
It may be that the recent high growth
rates in money balances, besides being a
lagged response to the lower interest rates
of this past winter, reflect some of the un­
certainties of the general public about the
economic situation. To the extent that this
is true, the inclination to hold unusually
large money balances should subside as
economic recovery becomes more evident.
In any event, it is clear that recent mone­
tary growth rates are higher than is neces­
sary or desirable over any length of time to
sustain healthy economic expansion. The
Federal Reserve has, therefore, already
taken some steps to reduce the growth rate
of bank reserves and thereby promote a
more moderate rate of monetary expansion.

660

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

These actions are partly responsible for
the recent rise in interest rates— particularly
interest rates on very short-term market
securities. But it should be kept carefully
in mind that the rise in interest rates since
March has occurred despite rapid rates of
monetary growth and continuing large flows
of savings funds to depositary institutions.
Factors other than monetary policy must
therefore be primarily responsible for the
upturn in interest rates this spring; they in­
clude in addition to indications that a busi­
ness recovery is developing, the prospect of
very large Treasury financing needs, deepen­
ing concern about the unrelenting character
of cost-push inflation, some apprehension
over international financial developments,
and not a little anticipatory borrowing in
the capital market on top of that currently
needed. The fear of inflation appears to have
been especially important in the recent be­
havior of our money and capital markets,
and a reversal of psychology may well be
required to achieve a significant downward
adjustment of interest rates.
The rise in short-term interest rates dur­
ing recent months had the effect of putting
the Federal Reserve discount rate, which
had been reduced in a series of actions to
4% per cent last February, well below the
rates at which funds could be obtained by
banks in the open market. The effect of this
discrepancy in rates was to encourage mem­
ber bank borrowing from the Reserve
Banks— borrowing which was rising rapidly
and thereby providing reserves to support
continued high rates of monetary expansion.
Accordingly, as you know, the Board last
week approved increases in Federal Reserve
Bank discount rates to 5 per cent by a un­
animous vote of the five Board members
present at the meeting. I participated by
telephone in the discussion leading to this
action, and I want you to know that I
supported it fully. Our hope is that the




higher discount rate will serve to moderate
the demand for discounting at the Federal
Reserve, that it will help prevent excessive
growth of the monetary aggregates, and also
impart a degree of stability to interest rate
expectations.
I continue to feel that the country needs
lower interest rates, and that lower rates—
especially on mortgages and State and local
government securities— would contribute to
a more vigorous economic recovery. But I
am not hopeful that substantially lower
interest rates can be achieved, until we as
a nation make steady and meaningful pro­
gress in solving our inflation problem.
WAGES AND PRICES

The inflation we are confronted with has
become deeply rooted since its beginnings
in 1965. The forces of excess demand that
originally led to price inflation disappeared
well over a year ago. Nevertheless, strong
and stubborn inflationary forces, emanating
from rising costs, linger on. I wish I could
report that we are making substantial prog­
ress in dampening the inflationary spiral.
I cannot do so. Neither the behavior of
prices nor the pattern of wage increases as
yet provides evidence of any significant
moderation in the advance of costs and
prices. If growth in productivity accelerates
with a quickening economy, some real
moderation may well develop in the months
ahead. Even so, the residual rate of infla­
tion may well run above the characteristic
level of previous cyclical upswings.
Let me cite some of the evidence that
leads me to this view. Thus far in 1971,
prices of newly produced goods and serv­
ices in the private economy are still rising,
on the average, at about a 5 per cent annual
rate— or at essentially the same rate as in
1969 and 1970. The rate of advance of
consumer prices did diminish conspicuously
during the first 5 months of 1971, but most

STATEMENTS TO CONGRESS

of this improvement is attributable to the
decline in mortgage interest rates. The
wholesale price index for all commodities
has increased at an annual rate of 5 per
cent thus far this year, or twice last year’s
rate. Wholesale prices of industrial com­
modities, moreover, have accelerated from
a 3^2 per cent increase last year to a 4
per cent rate thus far in 1971.
Much the same picture emerges from a
review of changes in wages and salaries—
by far the most important component of
business costs. Wages in the private non­
farm economy, adjusted for changes in
industrial composition and for overtime
work, rose at about a 7 per cent annual rate
in the first half of 1971— slightly more than
in 1970 or 1969. This sustained sharp rise
in wages during a period of substantial
economic slack contrasts markedly with our
experience in earlier recessions, when the
rate of advance in wages typically dropped
sharply or actually ceased.
Nor is the picture more encouraging when
one inspects the trend of new agreements
reached in major collective bargaining settle­
ments— agreements which tend to establish
wage trends throughout industry. The wage
increases agreed to, for example, in the
automobile, can, and aluminum settlements,
and most recently by AT&T, amount to 12
per cent or more for the first year. The full
extent of the increase contracted for later
years is not yet known, since it will depend
in part on the speed of future advances in
the consumer price index.
It is important to inquire into the reasons
for this unusual behavior of wages and
salaries. The answer is doubtless complex,
involving a myriad of structural, psycholo­
gical, and social changes. Ironically, our
national commitment to high employment
and economic prosperity, and our relative
success in achieving these objectives, ac­
counts for part of the problem. For a gen­




661

eral expectation has developed on the part
of both business and labor that recessions, if
they occur at all, will prove brief and mild;
and this expectation has influenced both the
strength of wage demands and the willing­
ness of management to accept them.
A second factor contributing materially
to the sustained character of wage rate in­
creases in the current situation is the in­
tensity and duration of the previous phase of
excess demand. Consumer prices have been
rising steadily since 1965— much of the
time at an accelerating rate. Continued sub­
stantial increases are now widely anticipated
over the months and years ahead. In such an
environment, workers naturally seek wage
increases sufficiently large to compensate
for the effects of past inflation on their real
incomes, and to give some protection against
future price advances— besides providing
for a measure of improvement in living
standards. Thoughtful employers are bound
to have some sympathy with these efforts,
all the more so when they reckon— as they
now generally do— that cost increases can
probably be passed on to buyers grown
accustomed to inflation.
Other factors too have been at work. The
increased militancy of workers, whether
union or nonunion and whether in private
or public service, has probably led to wider
and faster diffusion of excessive wage rate
increases through the economy. I cannot
help but wonder, also, whether our recent
experience with wage settlements in union­
ized industries may not reflect a gradual
shift in the balance of power at the bargain­
ing table.
Labor seems to have become more insist­
ent, more vigorous, and more confident in
pursuing its demands, while resistance of
businessmen to these demands appears to
have weakened— perhaps because they fear
the loss of market position that would be
caused by a long strike or because they

believe that their competitors too will give
in to similar wage demands. More recently,
the balance of power— so important to the
outcome of wage bargaining— may have
been influenced by expansion in the public
welfare programs which can be called upon
to help sustain a striking employee and his
family, valid though these programs may
be on social grounds. And the hand of labor
may have been strengthened also by the
evident success that public sector employees
have had in recent years in winning large
wage increases, frequently with the use of
illegal strikes against the Government.
In my judgment, and in the judgment of
the Board as a whole, the present inflation
in the midst of substantial unemployment
poses a problem that traditional monetary
and fiscal remedies cannot solve as quickly
as the national interest demands. That is
what has led me, on various occasions, to
urge additional governmental actions in­
volving wages and prices— actions that
would serve, by moderating the inflationary
trend, to free the American economy from
the hesitations that are now restraining its
great energy.
There has been some progress in this area
over the past year or two. The President
deserves credit for his efforts to deal with

662



the special supply-demand problems that
have developed in the lumber and petroleum
industries, and for bringing together labor
and business leaders in the steel industry for
a discussion of basic economic issues at the
outset of the current wage negotiations. The
Construction Industry Stabilization Com­
mittee, formed earlier this spring, appears to
be having some success in moderating the
staggering trend of wage settlements in that
industry. The periodic Inflation Alerts serve
a useful function in stimulating public dis­
cussion of areas in which wage or price
decisions do not seem to conform to eco­
nomic fundamentals. And the National
Commission on Productivity may yet pro­
vide the basis for important improvements
in the cost trends of our economy.
In the Board’s judgment, these efforts
need to be carried further— perhaps much
further. The problem of cost-push inflation,
in which escalating wages lead to escalating
prices in a never-ending circle, is the most
difficult economic issue of our time. It needs
to be given top priority by our business and
labor leaders as well as by the Government.
There is much good will and statesmanship
in the ranks of business and labor, and it
would be wise for the Government to draw
upon it more fully.

Record of Policy Actions
of the Federal Open Market Committee

Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market Com­
mittee at each meeting, in the form in which they will appear in the
Board’s Annual Report, are released approximately 90 days following
the date of the meeting and are subsequently published in the Federal
Reserve B u l l e t i n .
The record for each meeting includes the votes on the policy deci­
sions made at the meeting as well as a resume of the basis for the
decisions. The summary descriptions of economic and financial condi­
tions are based on the information that was available to the Committee
at the time of the meeting, rather than on data as they may have
been revised since then.
Policy directives of the Federal Open Market Committee are issued
to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York—the Bank selected by
the Committee to execute transactions for the System Open Market
Account.
Records of policy actions have been published regularly in the
B u l l e t i n beginning with the July 1967 issue, and such records have
continued to be published in the Board’s Annual Reports.
The records for the first four meetings held in 1971 were pub­
lished in the B u l l e t i n s for April, pages 320-27; May, pages 391-98;
June, pages 503-11; and July, pages 599-606. The record for the
meeting held on May 11, 1971, follows:

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

MEETING HELD ON MAY 11, 1971
Authority to effect transactions in System Account.

Preliminary estimates of the Commerce Department indicated that
real output of goods and services had increased at an annual rate of
6.5 per cent in the first quarter, after having declined at a 3.9 per
cent rate in the fourth quarter of 1970. The strength of the firstquarter rise was attributable primarily to a resumption of higher
automobile production following the strike in that industry, and more
moderate growth of real GNP appeared to be in prospect for the
current quarter.
In April nonfarm payroll employment again remained about un­
changed and the unemployment rate edged up to 6.1 from 6.0 per
cent in the previous month. Tentative estimates indicated that indus­
trial production had risen somewhat. The latest data for retail sales
suggested that there had been a pick-up in consumer spending, apart
from the post-strike recovery in automobile purchases; revised figures
revealed that nonautomotive sales had strengthened somewhat more
over the course of the first quarter than had been thought earlier,
and according to preliminary indications for April such sales were
continuing at about the level they had reached in March. Private
housing starts increased substantially further in March.
Wholesale prices of industrial commodities rose sharply in April,
after having advanced at a moderate pace earlier in the year. The rate
of increase in the consumer price index slowed in March for the third
successive month, reflecting to an important extent a further decline
in mortgage interest costs. Wage rates continued to rise rapidly.
Growth in real GNP was projected to slow in the second quarter
mainly because of the waning effect of the post-strike recovery in the
automobile industry. In light of the recent strengthening of retail
sales, the projected amount of improvement in personal consumption
expenditures had been raised somewhat, although it remained well
below the gain recorded in the first quarter. The staff projections
continued to suggest a further decline in defense spending and further
substantial increases in residential construction expenditures and
State and local government outlays—and also a step-up in business
inventory accumulation, in part reflecting stockpiling of steel in

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

anticipation of a possible strike in the industry when current wage
contracts expire at the end of July.
While the possibility of a steel strike continued to cloud the outlook
for the second half of the year, the average rate of growth was still
expected to be somewhat higher than in the second quarter if the
duration of any such strike did not exceed 60 days or so. It appeared
likely that the rate of growth in residential construction outlays would
slacken as the year progressed. However, prospects were for further
large increases in State and local government expenditures and mod­
erate gains in outlays for business fixed investment. Various develop­
ments were expected to help sustain expansion in consumer spending
during the second half of the year: the recently enacted increase
in social security benefits, under which payments retroactive to Jan­
uary 1 were scheduled to be made in late June; a possible increase
in military pay scales around midyear; and a possible decline in the
rate of personal saving in the third and fourth quarters.
Although the U.S. merchandise trade balance improved somewhat
in March, exports exceeded imports by only a small margin over the
first quarter as a whole. The over-all payments balance was in ex­
tremely large deficit during the quarter on both the liquidity and offi­
cial settlements bases, and tentative estimates indicated that the deficit
was again very large in April. In great part the deterioration of the
payments balance in the first 4 months of 1971 reflected outflows of
short-term capital, at first primarily in response to higher interest
rates abroad and later also in response to a growing belief that there
might be increases in the exchange rates for certain European
currencies.
Movements from the dollar into the German mark and some other
European currencies, which had been particularly heavy in the first
few days of April, subsided during the next 3 weeks. The atmosphere
in foreign exchange markets remained uneasy, however, and a new
wave of uncertainty was evidenced late in the month by an upsurge of
demands for forward marks. On April 28 the German monetary au­
thorities announced that they were discontinuing forward sales of
marks; and during the next few days, against the background of vari­
ous public statements and market rumors regarding possible exchange
rate policies, upward pressures intensified on the exchange rate for
the mark and for several other European currencies. Flows of funds,




665

666




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

particularly into marks, reached massive proportions on May 4 and
5, and on the latter date the central banks of Germany, Switzerland,
the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria suspended sales of their cur­
rencies for dollars. On Sunday, May 9, announcements were made
that exchange rates for the German mark and the Dutch guilder
would be allowed to float for the time being, and that the Swiss franc
and Austrian schilling were being revalued upward, by 7.07 and
5.05 per cent, respectively.
On April 28 the Treasury announced the terms on which it would
refund securities maturing in mid-May, including $5.8 billion held by
the public. Holders of the maturing obligations were offered the
choice of two relatively short-term notes— a new 15-month, 5 per
cent note priced at par and a reopened issue of 3 Vi year, 53A per
cent notes priced to yield about 5.88 per cent. Although the outcome
of the financing was affected adversely by the developments in for­
eign exchange markets around the May 5 closing date for subscrip­
tions, the proportion of publicly held maturing issues redeemed for
cash—about 30 per cent—was less than many observers had ex­
pected under the circumstances.
The atmosphere of crisis in foreign exchange markets in early May
added to uncertainties already prevailing in domestic financial mar­
kets. Interest rates on most types of short- and long-term securities
had risen sharply in recent weeks, reflecting continued heavy demands
for funds in capital markets and growing expectations on the part of
market participants of higher rates to come. Contributing to the
change in market psychology were favorable business developments,
the recent firming of money market conditions, and the belief that the
Federal Reserve would seek still firmer conditions in light of current
rapid rates of growth in the monetary aggregates and of developments
in international financial markets. Market rates on short-term Treasury
bills shared in the general uptrend through most of April; for example,
the rate on 3-month bills advanced from about 3.70 per cent on the
day before the April 6 meeting of the Committee to slightly more than
4 per cent near the end of the month. Subsequently, however, the 3month rate declined—to about 3.85 per cent on the day before this
meeting—partly as a result of large-scale bill purchases by foreign
official accounts.
Interest rates on conventional new-home mortgages declined fur­

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

ther in March, but more slowly than earlier in the year. Yields in
secondary markets for federally insured mortgages, which had leveled
out in March, advanced in late April. Incomplete data for April sug­
gested that inflows of funds to nonbank thrift institutions were re­
maining close to the extraordinarily high monthly volume recorded in
the first quarter.
At commercial banks, inflows of consumer-type time and savings
deposits slowed substantially in April from their very high firstquarter pace, partly in response to reductions in rates offered on such
deposits. The volume of large-denomination CD’s outstanding de­
clined slightly. Business loans outstanding (including loans that had
been sold to affiliates) changed little over the course of the month,
after having declined in March. On April 22 and 23 a number of
major banks announced an increase in their prime lending rates from
5V4 to 5V2 per cent, and by the date of this meeting the higher prime
rate had become general. This increase, which followed a series of
reductions during the fall and winter months, was attributed to the
advance in short-term market interest rates that had occurred since
the last such reduction in March.
Commercial bank holdings of Treasury securities declined during
April, following a substantial rise in the first quarter, and holdings of
other securities expanded at a somewhat slower pace than earlier in
the year. Banks continued to reduce their use of funds from nonde­
posit sources. Most of the reduction in April was associated with
declines in head-office liabilities to foreign branches, largely in con­
nection with branch acquisitions of the $1.5 billion of special certifi­
cates offered to them by the Treasury for payment on April 9. Growth
in total bank credit, as measured by the adjusted proxy series—dailyaverage member bank deposits, adjusted to include funds from non­
deposit sources—slowed further from March to April.
Estimates of the average March level of both the narrow and
broader measures of the money stock— Mx and M 2—had been re­
vised upward somewhat since the preceding meeting of the Com­
mittee. It now appeared that Mx (private demand deposits plus cur­
rency in circulation) had increased at an annual rate of about 9 per
cent over the first quarter as a whole 1 and that M 2 ( M 1 plus commer­

quarter relative to that in the last month of the preceding quarter.

cial bank tim e deposits other than large-denom ination C D ’s) had
grow n at a rate of about 18 per cent. A ccording to prelim inary esti­
m ates, both m easures of the m oney stock expanded substantially fu r­
ther from M arch to A pril— M 1 considerably m ore and M<> slightly
m ore than the Com m ittee had deem ed desirable at the tim e of its p re ­
vious meeting.
System open m arket operations im m ediately following the A pril 6
m eeting of the C om m ittee had been directed at achieving som ew hat
firm er conditions in the m oney m arket. Shortly thereafter, w hen
available d ata indicated that M u and to a lesser extent M 2, were
growing at rates in excess of those expected, some slight additional
firming was sought. T he Federal funds rate— which had fluctuated
m ostly around 3 3A per cent following the M arch m eeting— m oved
up to a range around 4 lA per cent, where it rem ained through the
end of A pril. Subsequently, however, despite large-scale reservesupplying operations by the System, the Federal funds rate advanced
to a range around AV2 per cent. This additional firming occurred
against the background of the crisis atm osphere in foreign exchange
m arkets, and in p art was a consequence of aggressive bidding for
funds by m ajor banks in an effort to position themselves against pos­
sible outflows of deposits.
It was noted th at the current outlook for the m onetary and credit
aggregates was m ore uncertain than usual because of the possible im ­
p act on dom estic financial m arkets of developm ents in foreign ex­
change m arkets. Staff analysis suggested that, if conditions in the
m oney m arket were similar to those prevailing during m ost of A pril,
inflows of tim e and savings deposits would slacken in the second
q u arter and grow th in M 2 and the bank credit proxy would m oderate
considerably from the first-quarter pace. M lf on the other hand, was
expected to expand at an annual rate of approxim ately 9 per cent
over the second quarter, or about as rapidly as in the first quarter.
T he analysis suggested that, if m oney m arket conditions were som e­
w hat firmer, expansion in M 1 w ould slow gradually during coming
m onths; but th at— in p art because of the sharp increase that had
already occurred in A pril and in p art because of lags in responses to
changed m oney m arket conditions— M x would still grow at a rate of
about 8.5 per cent over the second quarter as a whole. It appeared
th at a sharp firming of m oney m arket conditions would be required

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

to slow expansion in M 1 sufficiently during the rest of the second
q uarter to achieve a substantial m oderation of growth over the
quarter as a whole.
In the discussion Com m ittee m em bers expressed concern both
about the recent high rates of growth in the m onetary aggregates and
about the m arked increases that had occurred in long-term interest
rates. T he view was widely held am ong m em bers th at expansion in
M x at the first-quarter pace for an extended period would be incon­
sistent with an orderly reduction in the rate of inflation. A lso widely
held, however, was the view that sharp increases in long-term rates
at this juncture m ight have adverse consequences for spending,
particularly in the residential construction and State and local govern­
m ent sectors, and m ight thus pose a threat to the econom ic recovery
under way.
A lthough there were some rath er m arked differences in the stress
th at individual m em bers placed on these two types of considerations,
the C om m ittee agreed th at it would not be desirable at present either
to revert to the m oney m arket conditions th at had prevailed until
the end of A pril or to seek the am ount of firming th at evidently
would be required to achieve a substantial slowing of growth in the
aggregates over the second quarter. Instead, the C om m ittee decided
that in the early p art of the coming period, w hen open m arket oper­
ations in any case would be conditioned by even-keel considerations
related to the current T reasury refunding, the objective should be to
m aintain the m oney m arket conditions currently prevailing. Similar
conditions were to be sought later if the m onetary aggregates ap ­
peared to be on paths consistent with gradual m oderation of growth
during the second quarter. If the aggregates appeared to be deviating
significantly from such paths, the objective was to be modified accord­
ingly— except th at any firming of m oney m arket conditions directed
at slowing excessive growth was to be carried out cautiously, with a
view to avoiding undue reactions in capital m arkets.
T he C om m ittee agreed that, in light of the uncertainties prevailing
in dom estic financial m arkets and in foreign exchange m arkets, the
A ccount M anager should have m ore than the usual degree of dis­
cretion in m aking day-to-day operating decisions. However, the C om ­
m ittee also agreed th at it would be advisable at present for the Sys­
tem to engage in purchases of longer-term G overnm ent securities on

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

a sm aller scale than in recent m onths in the process of m eeting needs
for reserves.
T he following current economic policy directive was issued to the
Federal R eserve B ank of New Y ork:
The information reviewed at this meeting suggests that real out­
put of goods and services rose substantially in the first quarter pri­
marily because of the resumption of higher automobile production,
and more moderate growth appears to be in prospect for the current
quarter. The unemployment rate remained high in April. Wage
rates in most sectors are continuing to rise at a rapid pace. The rate
of advance in consumer prices and in wholesale prices of industrial
commodities moderated in the first quarter, but the rise in industrial
prices stepped up again in April. The money stock both narrowly
and broadly defined expanded substantially further in April but
growth in bank credit slowed. Inflows of consumer-type time and
savings funds to banks moderated, partly as a result of reductions
in the interest rates offered by banks, but flows to nonbank thrift
institutions continued heavy. Interest rates on most types of shortand long-term market securities rose sharply in April and early
May, reflecting uncertainties about domestic, and more recently in­
ternational, financial prospects. The over-all balance of payments
deficit in the first four months of 1971 was exceptionally large, in
great part reflecting short-term capital outflows. Recently, after
further large international flows of funds, several European central
banks suspended sales of their currencies for dollars; subsequently,
announcements were made that the German mark and Dutch
guilder would be permitted to float for the time being, and that the
Swiss franc and Austrian schilling were being revalued. In light of
the foregoing developments, it is the policy of the Federal Open
Market Committee to foster financial conditions conducive to the
resumption of sustainable economic growth, while encouraging an
orderly reduction in the rate of inflation, moderation of short-term
capital outflows, and attainment of reasonable equilibrium in the
country’s balance of payments.
To implement this policy, the Committee seeks to moderate
growth in monetary and credit aggregates over the months ahead,
taking account of the current Treasury financing, developments in
capital markets, and uncertainties in foreign exchange markets.
System open market operations until the next meeting of the Com­
mittee shall be aimed initially at maintaining currently prevailing

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

money market conditions, and thereafter conducted with a view to
maintaining bank reserves and money market conditions consistent
with the above-cited objectives.

SHORT TITLE
S ec tio n 1. This Act may be cited as the “Emer­
gency Loan Guarantee Act”.

672




ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BOARD
2. There is created an Emergency Loan Guar­
antee Board (referred to in this Act as the “Board”)
composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, as Chair­
man, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, and the Chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Decisions of
the Board shall be made by majority vote.
S ec.

AUTHORITY
S e c . 3. The Board, on such terms and conditions
as it deems appropriate, may guarantee, or make
commitments to guarantee, lenders against loss of
principal or interest on loans that meet the require­
ments of this Act.

LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS
4. (a) A guarantee of a loan may be made
under this Act only if—
(1) the Board finds that (A) the loan is needed
to enable the borrower to continue to furnish goods
or services and failure to meet this need would
adversely and seriously affect the economy of or
employment in the Nation or any region thereof,
(B) credit is not otherwise available to the borrower
under reasonable terms or conditions, and (C) the
prospective earning power of the borrower, together
with the character and value of the security pledged,
furnish reasonable assurance that it will be able to
repay the loan within the time fixed, and afford
reasonable protection to the United States; and
(2) the lender certifies that it would not make
the loan without such guarantee.
S ec.

(b) Loans guaranteed under this Act shall be pay­
able in not more than five years, but may be renew­
able for not more than an additional three years.
(c)(1) Loans guaranteed under this Act shall bear
interest payable to the lending institutions at rates
determined by the Board taking into account the
reduction in risk afforded by the loan guarantee and
rates charged by lending institutions on otherwise
comparable loans.
(2) The Board shall prescribe and collect a guaran­
tee fee in connection with each loan guaranteed under
this Act. Such fee shall reflect the Government’s ad­
ministrative expense in making the guarantee and the
risk assumed by the Government and shall not be less
than an amount which, when added to the amount of
interest payable to the lender of such loan, produces
a total charge appropriate for loan agreements of com­
parable risk and maturity if supplied by the normal
capital markets.

SECURITY FOR LOAN GUARANTEES
S e c . 5. In negotiating a loan guarantee under this
Act, the Board shall make every effort to arrange that
the payment of the principal of and interest on any
plan guaranteed shall be secured by sufficient property
of the enterprise to collateralize fully the amount of
the loan guarantee.

REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO LOAN
GUARANTEES
S e c . 6. (a) A guarantee agreement made under
this Act with respect to an enterprise shall require
that while there is any principal or interest remaining
unpaid on a guaranteed loan to that enterprise the
enterprise may not—
(1) declare a dividend on its common stock; or
(2) make any payment on its other indebtedness
to a lender whose loan has been guaranteed under
this Act.
The Board may waive either or both of the require­
ments set forth in this subsection, as specified in the
guarantee agreement covering a loan to any particular
enterprise, if it determines that such waiver is not
inconsistent with the reasonable protection of the
interests of the United States under the guarantee.
(b) If the Board determines that the inability of an
enterprise to obtain credit without a guarantee under
this Act is the result of a failure on the part of
management to exercise reasonable business prudence
in the conduct of the affairs of the enterprise, the
Board shall require before guaranteeing any loan to
the enterprise that the enterprise make such manage­
ment changes as the Board deems necessary to give
the enterprise a sound managerial base.
(c) A guarantee of a loan to any enterprise shall
not be made under this Act unless—
(1) the Board has received an audited financial
statement of the enterprise; and
(2) the enterprise permits the Board to have the
same access to its books and other documents as
the Board would have under section 7 in the event
the loan is guaranteed.
(d) No payment shall be made or become due
under a guarantee entered into under this Act unless
the lender has exhausted any remedies which it may
have under the guarantee agreement.
(e)(1) Prior to making any guarantee under this
Act, the Board shall satisfy itself that the underlying
loan agreement on which the guarantee is sought
contains all the affirmative and negative covenants
and other protective provisions which are usual and
customary in loan agreements of a similar kind, in­
cluding previous loan agreements between the lender
and the borrower, and that it cannot be amended, or
any provisions waived, without the Board’s prior con­
sent.
(2)
On each occasion when the borrower seeks an
advance under the loan agreement, the guarantee
authorized by this Act shall be in force as to the funds
advanced only if—
(A) the lender gives the Board at least ten days’
notice in writing of its intent to provide the bor­
rower with funds pursuant to the loan agreement;
(B) the lender certifies to the Board before an




advance is made that, as of the date of the notice
provided for in subparagraph (A), the borrower
is not in default under the loan agreement: Pro­
vided, That if a default has occurred the lender
shall report the facts and circumstances relating
thereto to the Board and the Board may expressly
and in writing waive such default in any case where
it determines that such waiver is not inconsistent
with the reasonable protection of the interests of
the United States under the guarantee; and
(C)
the borrower provides the Board with a plan
setting forth the expenditures for which the ad­
vance will be used and the period during which
the expenditures will be made, and, upon the ex­
piration of such periods, reports to the Board any
instances in which amounts advanced have not
been expended in accordance with the plan.
(f)(1) A guarantee agreement made under this
Act shall contain a requirement that as between the
Board and the lender, the Board shall have a priority
with respect to, and to the extent of, the lender’s
interest in any collateral securing the loan and any
earlier outstanding loans. The Board shall take all
steps necessary to assure such priority against any
other persons.
(2)
As used in paragraph (1) of this subsection,
the term “collateral” includes all assets pledged under
loan agreements and, if appropriate in the opinion of
the Board, all sums of the borrower on deposit with
the lender and subject to offset under section 68 of the
Bankruptcy Act.
INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS; AUTHORITY
TO DISAPPROVE CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
S e c . 7. (a) The Board is authorized to inspect and
copy all accounts, books, records, memoranda, corre­
spondence, and other documents of any enterprise
which has received financial assistance under this Act
concerning any matter which may bear upon (1) the
ability of such enterprise to repay the loan within the
time fixed therefor; (2) the interests of the United
States in the property of such enterprise; and (3) the
assurance that there is reasonable protection to the
United States. The Board is authorized to disapprove
any transaction of such enterprise involving the dis­
position of its assets which may affect the repayment
of a loan that has been guaranteed pursuant to the
provisions of this Act.
(b)
The General Accounting Office shall make a
detailed audit of all accounts, books, records, and
transactions of any borrower with respect to which
an application for a loan guarantee is made under
this Act. The General Accounting Office shall report
the results of such audit to the Board and to the
Congress.
MAXIMUM OBLIGATION
S e c . 8. The maximum obligation of the Board
under all outstanding loans guaranteed by it shall
not exceed at any time $250,000,000.
EMERGENCY LOAN GUARANTEE FUND
Sec. 9. (a) There is established in the Treasury an
emergency loan guarantee fund to be administered by

673

674

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

the Board. The fund shall be used for the payment of
the expenses of the Board and for the purpose of ful­
filling the Board’s obligations under this Act. Moneys
in the fund not needed for current operations may be
invested in direct obligations of, or obligations that
are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by,
the United States or any agency thereof.
(b) The Board shall prescribe and collect a guaran­
tee fee in connection with each loan guaranteed by it
under this Act. Sums realized from such fees shall be
deposited in the emergency loan guarantee fund.
(c) Payments required to be made as a conse­
quence of any guarantee by the Board shall be made
from the emergency loan guarantee fund. In the event
that moneys in the fund are insufficient to make such
payments, in order to discharge its responsibilities, the
Board is authorized to issue to the Secretary of the
Treasury notes or other obligations in such forms and
denominations, bearing such maturities, and subject
to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by
the Board with the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury. Such notes or other obligations shall bear
interest at a rate determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury, taking into consideration the current aver­
age market yield on outstanding marketable obliga­
tions of the United States of comparable maturities
during the month preceding the issuance of the notes

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The Board of Governors has amended its Rules
Regarding Delegation of Authority, effective July
29, 1971, in order to expedite and facilitate its
response to requests for information of the Board,
by delegating to the General Counsel of the Board
authority (1) to make available to other agencies
of the United States for their use where necessary
in their official duties certain information regard­
ing supervised institutions, and (2) to determine,
in any case of service of subpoena on an officer,

Reserve Bank, the response to such subpoena. The
text of the amendment reads as follows:

TRUTH IN LENDING
OPEN END CREDIT— CHAN GE IN THE
METHOD OF D ETERM IN IN G THE
BALANCE ON W HICH FIN A N CE
CHARGES ARE COMPUTED
The creditor of an open end credit account
plan desires to change his method of determining
the balance on which finance charges are com­
puted from a method in which payments and
credits made during the billing cycle are not de­
ducted in determining such balance to a method
in which such payments and credits are deducted
in determining such balance. This change results
in a reduction in finance charges to the customer,
where full payment of the account is deferred. The
question arises whether notice of such change is
required to be sent to customers of open end
credit accounts under § 226.7(e), since that sec­
tion also provides that prior notice is not required
if the only change is a reduction in the “periodic
rate or rates, or in any minimum, fixed, check
service, transaction, activity, or similar charge ap­
plicable to the account.”
Where a creditor changes his method of deter­
mining the balance on which finance charges
are computed from a method in which payments
and credits made during the billing cycle are not
deducted in determining such balance, to a method
in which such payments and credits are deducted
in determining such balance, § 226.7(e) requires
no prior notice of such change in terms, provided
no other changes in terms applicable to the ac­
count are made simultaneously which would re­
quire § 226.7(e) notification.

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(1 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(1 )),
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­
tion Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3 (a)), the application of
Continental Bancor, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona ( “Ap­
plicant” ), for the Board’s prior approval of action
whereby Applicant would become a bank holding
company through the acquisition of 69 per cent or
more of the voting shares of Continental Bank,
Phoenix, Arizona (“Bank”).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the applica­
tion to the Superintendent of Banks for Arizona
and requested his views and recommendation. The
Superintendent recommended approval of the
application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on May 13, 1971
(36 Federal Register 8830), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. The
time for filing comments and views has expired
and all those received have been considered by the
Board.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of Applicant and
Bank, and the convenience and needs of the com­
munities to be served. Upon such consideration,
the Board finds that:
Applicant is a nonoperating corporation formed
for the purpose of acquiring Bank, and is owned
and managed by a group of directors and officers
of Bank who have extensive banking experience in
the Phoenix area. Bank has deposits of about




$46 million and ranks eighth in size in the Phoenix
area. (All banking data are as of December 31,
1970, and reflect holding company formations and
acquisitions approved through May 31, 1971.)
The proposal involves only a shift in ownership
of Bank from a Texas corporation to Applicant,
and would not adversely affect competition in any
relevant area.
The financial and managerial resources and fu­
ture prospects of Applicant and Bank are con­
sistent with approval of the application. Although
Applicant would have substantial debt in relation
to its net worth, several considerations diminish
the importance of this factor. The management of
Applicant is composed of senior officials of Bank
who have exhibited strong managerial abilities
since Bank’s establishment in 1964. Further, Bank
has shown an earnings record which coupled with
its potential earnings indicate Applicant’s ability to
service its debt without significant danger to the
condition of Bank. Other considerations that lead
to the conclusion that Applicant’s debt position
does not preclude approval of the application are
the adequacy of Bank’s capital and a definite debt
repayment program by Applicant. Considerations
relating to the convenience and needs of the com­
munities to be served lend weight toward approval
of the application since the proposal involves the
substitution of local for non-local ownership and
such ownership will be more likely to be aware of
and sensitive to the banking needs of the Phoenix
area. It is the Board’s judgment that the proposed
transaction would be in the public interest, and
that the application should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth
in the findings summarized above, that said appli­
cation be and hereby is approved, provided that
the action so approved shall not be consummated
(a) before the thirtieth calendar day following
the date of this Order, or (b) later than three
months after the date of this Order, unless such
time shall be extended for good cause by the
Board, or by the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco pursuant to delegated authority.
By order of the Board of Governors, July 15,
1971.
Voting for this action: Vice Chairman Robertson
and Governors Daane, Maisel, and Sherrill. Absent
and not voting: Chairman Burns and Governors
Mitchell and Brimmer.

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(3 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(3 ))
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regu­
lation Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3 (a )), an application by
United Virginia Bankshares Incorporated, Rich­
mond, Virginia (“Applicant” ), for the Board’s
prior approval of the acquisition of 80 per cent or
more of the voting shares of the successor by
merger to Security National Bank of Roanoke,
Roanoke, Virginia (“Bank” ). The merger has
significance only as a means of acquiring all of the
shares of Bank; the proposal is therefore treated
herein as one to acquire shares of Bank.
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Comptroller of the Currency, and
requested his views and recommendation. The
Comptroller offered no objection to approval of
the acquisition.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on May 26, 1971
(36 Federal Register 9581), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acqui­
sition on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the banks concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant, Virginia’s largest banking organ­
ization, controls 11 banks with deposits of $1.1
billion, or 13.9 per cent of the deposits in the




State. (Banking data are as of December 31,
1970, and reflect holding company formations and
acquisitions approved by the Board to May 31,
1971.) Bank ($21 million deposits) is the smallest
banking organization in the Roanoke area (4.8
per cent of deposits), where it competes with
offices of three independent banks and two bank
holding companies. Although Applicant is the
largest bank organization in the State, its nearest
subsidiary is more than 40 miles from Bank, and
neither it nor Applicant’s other subsidiaries com­
pete in the Roanoke area. Because of the distances
involved, Virginia law, and other facts of record,
the development of significant competition is con­
sidered unlikely. In view of the foregoing, Appli­
cant’s entry into Roanoke through acquisition of
the smallest bank should serve to enhance com­
petition and will not have a significantly adverse
effect on competition in any relevant area.
The financial condition of Applicant and its
subsidiaries and Bank is regarded as satisfactory.
Consequently, considerations under these factors
are consistent with approval.
The financial resources and increased com­
petitive capacity of Bank resulting from approval
of the application would benefit residents of the
pertinent market area. Accordingly, considerations
relating to the capacity of Bank to meet the con­
venience and needs of the community weigh
slightly in favor of approval. It is the Board’s
judgment that consummation of the proposal
would be in the public interest and that the appli­
cation should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth
above, that said application be and hereby is
approved, provided that the acquisition so ap­
proved shall not be consummated (a) before the
thirtieth calendar day following the date of this
Order or (b) later than three months after the
date of this Order, unless such period is extended
for good cause by the Board, or by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond pursuant to delegated
authority.

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(3 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(3 ))
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regu­
lation Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3 (a )), an application by
T G Bancshares Co., St. Louis, Missouri (“Appli­
cant” ), a bank holding company, for the Board’s
prior approval of the acquisition of an additional
53.6 per cent or more of the voting shares of
Bank of House Springs, House Springs, Missouri
( “Bank” ). Applicant presently owns 24.99 per
cent of the voting shares of Bank.
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Commissioner of Finance for the
State of Missouri, and requested his views and rec­
ommendation. The Commissioner recommended
approval of the application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on May 18, 1971
(36 Federal Register 9043), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in
the light of the factors set forth in section 3(c)
of the Act, including the effect of the proposed
acquisition on competition, the financial and man­
agerial resources and future prospects of the Ap­
plicant and the banks concerned, and the con­
venience and needs of the communities to be
served, and finds that:
Applicant, the eighth largest bank holding com­
pany and the ninth largest banking organization in
Missouri, has one subsidiary bank with $125.7
million in deposits, representing 1.1 per cent of
the total commercial bank deposits in the State.
(All banking data are as of December 31, 1970,




adjusted to reflect holding company formations
and acquisitions approved by the Board to date.)
Bank ($4.7 million deposits), with 9.9 per cent
of the area’s deposits, is the fifth largest of the
seven banks located in its primary service area,
which is approximated by the northwest portion
of Jefferson County. Applicant’s only subsidiary
bank, the Tower Grove Bank and Trust Company,
is located 24 miles from Bank in St Louis, and
does not compete with Bank to any significant
extent. In light of the facts of record, including
the distance separating Bank from Applicant’s sub­
sidiary, the presence of numerous banking alter­
natives, and Missouri’s restrictive branching law,
it does not appear that consummation of the
proposal herein would foreclose the development
of potential competition. Affiliation with Appli­
cant should enhance Bank’s ability to compete
more effectively within the St. Louis banking
market. It does not appear, therefore, that existing
competition would be eliminated or significant
potential competition foreclosed by consummation
of Applicant’s proposal, or that there would be
undue adverse effects on any bank in the area
involved.
Based upon the foregoing, the Board concludes
that consummation of the proposed acquisition
would not have significant adverse effects on com­
petition in any relevant area. Considerations re­
lating to the financial and managerial resources
and future prospects are regarded as consistent
with approval of the application as they relate to
Applicant and its subsidiary, and lend weight in
support of approval as they relate to Bank, since
affiliation with Applicant would insure Bank’s
future financial stability and provide Bank with
greater management depth. Applicant proposes to
expand Bank’s lending operations and to assist
Bank in establishing new services such as business
development and trust services. The residents of
Bank’s service area should benefit from these serv­
ices. Consequently, considerations relating to the
convenience and needs of the area lend some addi­
tional weight toward approval. It is the Board’s
judgment that consummation of the proposed ac­
quisition would be in the public interest, and that
the application should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth

whereby Applicant would become a bank holding
company through the acquisition of the successor
by merger to The First National Bank of Corsi­
cana, Corsicana, Texas ( “Corsicana Bank” ). As
an incident to the merger, Applicant would acquire
the beneficial ownership of at least 24 per cent
but less than 25 per cent of the shares of each of
the following three Texas banks: Citizens National
Bank in Ennis (24.7 per cent); Citizens State
Bank, Malakoff (24.0 per cent); and First N a­
tional Bank of Streetman (24.0 per cent).
The described shares of the three banks other
than Corsicana Bank are owned by Cornavco Cor­
poration, all the shares of which are held by
trustees for the benefit of the shareholders of Cor­
sicana Bank. As a result of the merger, Applicant
will succeed to beneficial ownership of all of the
shares of Cornavco Corporation and, indirectly, of
the described shares of the three banks.
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Texas Commissioner of Banking and requested




their views and recommendations. The Commis­
sioner and the Comptroller recommended approval

the light of the factors set forth in section 3(c)
of the Act, including the effect of the proposed
acquisition on competition, the financial and man­
agerial resources and future prospects of the Ap­
plicant and the banks concerned, and the con­
venience and needs of the communities to be
served, and finds that:
Applicant is a newly-formed organization and
has no operating history. Upon acquisition of
Corsicana ($40 million of deposits), Applicant
would become the sixth largest bank holding com­
pany in the State and would control about 0.2
per cent of the commercial bank deposits in the
State. (All banking data are as of December 31,
1970, and reflect holding company acquisitions
approved through May 31, 1971.)
Corsicana Bank, the lead bank, is located in
downtown Corsicana, and is the largest of ten
banks in the Corsicana market by virtue of control
of 56.8 per cent of deposits in that market. (Corsi­
cana Bank will be merged into a nonoperating
bank which has significance only as a vehicle to
accomplish the acquisition of all the shares of
Corsicana Bank. Acquisition of the shares of the
resulting bank is treated as an acquisition of the
shares of Corsicana Bank.) Streetman Bank ($2
million of deposits), located 18 miles south of
Corsicana is also in the Corsicana market and has
2.3 per cent of deposits there.
Citizens State Bank ($3 million of deposits),
is located in Malakoff which is 27 miles east of
Corsicana and is in the Athens-Malakoff market
which covers approximately the area within a 12mile radius of Athens. In this market, Citizens
State Bank, with 9.4 per cent of deposits, ranks
fourth among six banks located there. In the Ennis
market, which is adjacent to the Corsicana market,
Citizens National Bank in Ennis ($14 million of
deposits) is the largest of three banks and holds
57.6 per cent of the deposits.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

Corsicana Bank, through Cornavco, acquired an
indirect interest in Malakoff Bank in 1966, Ennis
Bank in 1967, and Streetman Bank in 1969. It
appears that Corsicana Bank exerts some influence
over the operations of these three banks. However,
the Board notes Applicant’s assertion that “neither
Applicant nor FNBC [Corsicana Bank] controls
the election of directors of any such banks or
exercises a controlling influence over their manage­
ment or policies.” It appears that the proposed
transaction is essentially a corporate reorgani­
zation of existing interests and reflects neither
expansion of the group nor an increase in the
banking resources controlled by it. On the facts
presented, consummation of Applicant’s proposal
is not expected to have a significant effect on
existing or potential banking competition.
On the basis of the record before it, the Board
concludes that consummation of the proposal
herein would not have a substantially adverse
effect on competition in any relevant area. Con­
siderations relating to financial and managerial
resources and prospects as they relate to Applicant,
Corsicana Bank, and the three associated banks
are consistent with approval of the application.
Applicant will begin operations in a satisfactory
financial condition and will be able to draw man­
agement expertise from Corsicana Bank. Appli­
cant’s prospects, which depend largely on those of
Corsicana Bank, are favorable. Factors relating to
the convenience and needs of the relevant markets
are consistent with approval. It is the Board’s
judgment that the proposed transaction would be
in the public interest and that the application
should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons summa­
rized above, that said application be and hereby is
approved, provided that the acquisition so ap­
proved shall not be consummated (a) before the
thirtieth calendar day following the date of this
Order or (b) later than three months after the date
of this Order, unless such period is extended for
good cause by the Board, or by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas pursuant to delegated authority.

voting shares of First Trust & Deposit Company,
Syracuse, New York (“First Trust” ).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Comptroller of the Currency and to
the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New
York, and requested their views and recommen­
dations. The Comptroller did not object to ap­
proval of the application, and the Superintendent
recommended approval.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 3, 1971 (36
Federal Register 10825), providing an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views with respect to the proposal. A copy of the
application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant

LAW DEPARTMENT
and the banks concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant is a newly-organized corporation.
Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant
will control $1.0 billion in deposits, representing
1.2 per cent of total commercial bank deposits in
the State, and would become the fourteenth largest
banking organization and seventh largest multi­
bank holding company in New York. (Banking
data, unless otherwise noted, are as of December
30, 1970, and reflect holding company acquisitions
approved through June 30, 1971.)
National Commercial ($705 million in deposits),
has 58 offices and operates throughout the Fourth
Banking District of New York. It controls 30
per cent (as of June 30, 1970) of the commercial
bank deposits in the relevant market, which is
approximated by all of Albany, Schenectady and
Rensselaer Counties and the southern portion of
Saratoga County. On the basis of deposits, it is
the second largest of the fifteen banking organi­
zations in that market.
First Trust ($300 million in deposits) operates
34 offices all of which are located in the Sixth
Banking District. It controls 30 per cent (as of
June 30, 1970) of the commercial bank deposits
in the relevant market, which is approximated by
Oswego and Onondaga Counties and the northern
half of Madison County. On the basis of deposits,
it is the largest of the eleven banking organizations
in that market.
National Commercial and First Trust do not
compete with each other to any meaningful extent,
and it appears unlikely they would do so in the
near future. No office of one is located within
50 miles of any office of the other, and New York
law prevents either bank from branching or merg­
ing outside its Banking District. It appears that
affiliation of the two banks in a holding company
system would not have an undue adverse effect on
other banks in the relevant markets, and would
have the procompetitive advantage of creating an
organization with sufficient resources to compete
with large banking organizations in upstate New
York as well as those based in New York City
which are seeking to expand throughout the
State. On the basis of the record before it, the
Board concludes that consummation of the pro­
posal would not have a significant adverse effect
on competition in any relevant market.
The financial condition of each bank appears
satisfactory; both are regarded as having com­




681
petent managements and favorable prospects. It
appears that Applicant will begin operations in
satisfactory condition and with competent manage­
ment; its prospects, which are largely dependent
upon those of its two proposed subsidiaries, also
appear favorable. Affiliation of the two banks
should enable each to offer improved and ex­
panded services. ,It is expected that National Com­
mercial’s specialization in financial services for
local governments would be extended to Syracuse,
and that First Trust would be able to offer more
convenient international banking services. It is the
Board’s judgment that the proposed transaction is
in the public interest, and that the application
should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons summa­
rized above that said application be and hereby is
approved, provided that the transaction so approved
shall not be consummated (a) before the thirtieth
calendar day following the date of this Order or
(b) later than three months after the date of this
Order, unless such time is extended for good cause
by the Board or by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York pursuant to delegated authority.

682

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

acquisition of 80 per cent or more of the voting
shares of Olmsted County Bank & Trust Company,
Rochester, Minnesota ( “Bank” ).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Minnesota Commissioner of Banks,
and requested his views and recommendation. The
Commissioner responded that he had no objection
to approval of the application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on May 29, 1971
(36 Federal Register 9894), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered by the Board.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the banks concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant has four subsidiary banks with aggre­
gate deposits of $171.7 million, representing 1.8
per cent of the total commercial bank deposits in
the State. Applicant is the fifth largest banking
organization and the fifth largest bank holding
company in Minnesota. (All banking data are as
of December 31, 1970, adjusted to reflect holding
company acquisitions and formations approved
through June 30, 1971.) Consummation of the
proposal herein would increase Applicant’s share
of commercial bank deposits in the State to 2.3
per cent, but would effect no change in Applicant’s
position in relation to other banking organizations.
Bank, with deposits of $37.3 million, is the third
largest of eight banks located in the Rochester
banking market and holds 22.1 per cent of area
deposits. The two largest banks in the market, each
affiliated with one of the two largest holding com­
panies in the State, have 61.9 per cent of market
deposits. Applicant’s subsidiary closest to Bank is
located 90 miles from it and, in light of this fact
and other facts of record, notably, the close exist­
ing relationship between Applicant and Bank, and
the unlikelihood that Applicant would enter Bank’s
market de novo, it appears that acquisition of Bank
by Applicant would not eliminate any significant
existing competition nor foreclose future com­




petition between Bank and any of Applicant’s
present subsidiaries. Indeed, consummation of the
proposal herein may serve to enhance competition
between Bank and the two larger banks in the
market without adverse affects on the five smaller
banks within the market. On the basis of the
record before it, the Board concludes that con­
summation of the proposed acquisition would not
adversely affect competition in any relevant area.
The financial and managerial resources and
future prospects of Applicant, its subsidiary banks,
and Bank are regarded as satisfactory. Based on
the record, it appears that Applicant is in a better
position to provide any needed financial and
managerial support to the Bank, than the current
owner of the Bank. The major banking needs of
the Rochester area appear to be adequately served
at present. Applicant proposes, however, to im­
prove Bank’s services by making the expertise of
Applicant’s lead bank’s trust department available
to Bank, consolidating the data processing services
it now obtains from four separate sources, and
providing for Bank internal audits and manage­
ment counsel relating to investments and credit
policies. Thus, considerations related to financial
and managerial resources as well as to convenience
and needs of the community lend some weight in
favor of approval. It is the Board’s judgment that
the proposed acquisition would be in the public
interest and that the application should be ap­
proved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , on the basis of the Board’s
findings summarized above, that said application
be and hereby is approved, provided that the ac­
quisition so approved shall not be consummated
(a) before the thirtieth calendar day following the
date of this Order or (b) later than three months
after the date of this Order, unless such period is

First Virginia Bankshares Corporation, Arlington,
Virginia ( “Applicant” ), a registered bank holding
company, for the Board’s prior approval of the
acquisition of 80 per cent or more of the voting
shares of the successor by merger to Bank of
Bland County, Bland, Virginia ( “Bank”).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Virginia Commissioner of Banking,
and requested his views and recommendation. The
Commissioner recommended approval.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 9, 1971 (36
Federal Register 11127), providing an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views with respect to the proposal. A copy of the
application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the banks concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant is the sixth largest banking organi­
zation and the fifth largest holding company in
Virginia, controlling 15 banks with $474.5 million
in deposits. (Banking data are as of June 30, 1971,
and reflect holding company acquisitions and for­
mations approved by the Board to date.) Acquisi­
tion of Bank (deposits $4.0 million) would not




change Applicant’s ranking and consummation of
the proposal would not increase concentration in
any market.
Bank, located in Bland and having a branch at
Rocky Gap, is the only bank located in Bland
County, and there is no competition between it
and Applicant’s closest subsidiary located in N ar­
rows, 21 miles northeast of Rocky Gap. For geo­
graphic reasons such competition appears unlikely
to develop, and the declining population of the
Bland area makes de novo entry by Applicant
unlikely. Consummation of the proposed trans­
action would neither eliminate existing competi­
tion, foreclose potential competition, nor have
adverse effects on the viability or competitive effec­
tiveness of any competing banks. The proposal, by
allowing Bank to provide full banking services,
might strengthen Bank’s ability to compete for
Bland County deposits with Banks in Wytheville,
Virginia, and Bluefield, West Virginia, and thus
stimulate competition. Based upon the foregoing,
the Board concludes that consummation of the
proposed acquisition would not have an adverse
effect on competition in any relevant area, and
might have a procompetitive effect in Bland
County.
Applicant, through Bank, proposes to introduce
to the area additional types of deposit services,
such as certificates of deposit, additional loan
services, such as overdraft checking accounts, and
trust services, and considerations relating to the
convenience and needs of the communities to be
served lend strong weight in favor of approval due
to the proposed local availability of full banking
services. Considerations relating to the banking
factors lend some weight toward approval of the
application, in that Bank’s financial condition and
prospects, although generally satisfactory, would
be enhanced through affiliation with Applicant. It
is the Board’s judgment that the proposed trans­
action would be in the public interest and should
be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth
above, that said application be and hereby is
approved, provided that the acquisition so ap­
proved shall not be consummated (a) before the
thirtieth calendar day following the date of this
Order, or (b) later than three months after the

Midlantic Banks Inc., Newark, New Jersey
(“Applicant” ), a registered bank holding com­
pany, has applied to the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(3 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(3 )),
for prior approval of the acquisition of 100 per
cent (less directors’ qualifying shares) of the
voting shares of the successor by merger to
Citizens National Bank, Englewood, New Jersey
(“Citizens Bank” ).
Views and recommendation of supervisory au­
thority. As required by section 3(b) of the Act,

the Board notified the Comptroller of the Currency
of receipt of the application and requested his
views and recommendation thereon. The Comp­
troller recommended approval of the application.
Statutory considerations. Section 3(c) of the
Act provides that the Board shall not approve an
acquisition that would result in a monopoly or
would be in furtherance of any combination or
conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monop­
olize the business of banking in any part of the
United States. N or may the Board approve a
proposed acquisition the effect of which, in any
section of the country, may be substantially to
lessen competition, or to tend to create a monop­
oly, or which in any other manner would be in
restraint of trade, unless the Board finds that the
anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction
are clearly outweighed in the public interest by
the probable effect of the transaction in meeting
the convenience and needs of the communities to
be served. In each case, the Board is required to
take into consideration the financial and mana­
gerial resources and future prospects of the bank
holding company and the banks concerned, and
the convenience and needs of the communities
to be served.
Com petitive effect o f proposed transaction. Ap­
plicant controls four banks with aggregate deposits
of $678 million and is the fourth largest banking

LAW DEPARTMENT
organization in New Jersey, with 4.9 per cent of
the deposits in the State.1 The acquisition of Bank
(deposit of $194 million) would increase Appli­
cant’s share of deposits in the State to 6.3 per cent
and make it the largest banking organization in
the State. The acquisition would also increase
Applicant’s share of deposits in the First Banking
District from 8.7 per cent to 11.3 per cent.
Applicant presently has two subsidiaries in the
First District: National Newark & Essex Bank
( “National Newark” ), a $602 million institution
which is the fourth largest bank in New Jersey and
the third largest bank in Newark; and The Sussex
& Merchants National Bank of Newton, a $46
million institution which is the largest of four
relatively small banks in Sussex County. It also
controls a bank in the Second District: Raritan
Valley National Bank, Edison Township, a $22
million bank which is the ninth largest of 20 banks
located in Middlesex County; and a bank in the
Third District: Elmer Bank & Trust Company,
Elmer, an $8 million bank which is the fourth
largest of seven banks located in Salem County.
Citizens Bank, located in Bergen County in the
First District, has deposits of $194 million. It is
the fifth largest of 39 banking organizations in the
Paterson m ark et2 and the eleventh largest of 88
banks in the First District.
There is no present competition existing between
Applicant’s three smaller subsidiaries and Citizens
Bank and, based on the facts of record, there is
unlikely to develop substantial competition. N or
would consummation of the acquisition eliminate
substantial present competition between Citizens
Bank and Applicant’s largest subsidiary, National
Newark. Despite the fact that these institutions are
in adjoining markets and that their closest offices
are 12 miles apart, the record indicates that there
is little deposit or loan overlap between the in­
stitutions.
However the elimination of present competition
is not the only competitive aspect that the Board
must consider in determining whether the approval
of an acquisition would be in the public interest.
In connection with the review of the application,
the Board has considered a comment from the
Department of Justice which concluded that con­
summation of the proposal “would have an ad­
verse effect on competition”. The Department took

the position that the proposal would eliminate
Applicant as a potential de novo entrant or as an
entrant through purchase of a small or “foothold”
bank into Bergen County and also would eliminate
Bank as a potential member of a new holding
company system in New Jersey. The Department
further expressed concern that the acquisition of
Bank would serve to trigger additional acquisitions
which would result in the consolidation of com­
mercial banking in the N orth Jersey area in a few
institutions.
The Commissioner of Banking for the State
of New Jersey also commented upon the proposal.
He expressed his concern that approval of the
acquisition of Bank “could be instrumental in
establishing a precedent for similar concentra­
tion, which could be accompanied by serious anti­
competitive ramifications.”
Applicant was offered an opportunity to respond
to the contentions of the Commissioner and the
Department. It replied to the Commissioner’s
statement by stating that approval of its proposal
would have little precedential value because each
individual proposal has a unique character which
differentiates it from other proposals. Applicant
answered the Justice Department’s comments by
stating that the possibility of the opening of de
novo branches in the market area of Bank was
extremely restricted by home office provisions and
population limitations. Applicant further stated,
“While the acquisition of a smaller bank than
Citizens is theoretically possible, the economic
feasibility is here limited by the earnings dilution
involved in the acquisition of such banks resulting
from the highly unrealistic market price which has
been caused by the new law [permitting intra­
district mergers] and by constant emphasis on the
acquisition of small banks as a desirable entrance
medium.” Moreover, Applicant argued that either
de novo or foothold entry would not be as procompetitive as entry through acquisition of Bank
because only such an acquisition would provide a
sufficiently large base for competition by the
proposed subsidiary with the large New York
banks.
The Board recognizes that additional competi­
tion with the larger New York City banks for
large customer services would result from approval
of the application. While this result is in the public
interest insofar as those customers are concerned,
the Board must also consider any adverse effects
to other segments of the banking public. The
Board agrees with the Department and the Com­

686

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

missioner that there will be important adverse
effects on competition resulting from consum­
mation of the acquisition.
First, substantial potential competition would be
foreclosed in the Paterson area. Bank is the fifth
largest of 39 banking organizations in the Paterson
market, which is adjacent to the greater Newark
market in which Applicant’s largest subsidiary is
located. Applicant’s significant size and its com­
petitive capability in this latter market make it
one of the most likely potential entrants into the
Paterson market. That market, as are many of the
banking markets, is relatively concentrated in that
four banks have over 55 per cent of the deposits.
A number of communities which are attractive
and capable of supporting entry are available to
Applicant in the Paterson market. That market
appears to be attractive for entry in view of its
proximity to New York City. In fact, since 1969,
seven banking organizations not represented in
that market have opened new branches in the area.
Additionally, there are 26 independent banks in
the Paterson market, each with deposits of under
$100 million, whose acquisition by Applicant
would be less anticompetitive than the acquisition
of Bank. These alternatives bring substantial
weight against approval of the present proposal.
Second, Bank is a desirable subsidiary for a hold­
ing company located in either the Second or Third
Banking District of New Jersey. If Applicant is
permitted to acquire Bank, this would prevent a
bank holding company from the other districts
from using Bank as a means of entry into the
First Banking District.
Third, the approval of the application could
presage a trend towards concentration within
banking districts which would have anticompeti­
tive consequences for the small and medium size
banking customers who need a sufficient number
of alternatives to compete for their business.
“While the Board is not required to follow prece­
dent which subsequent developments establish to
be improvident, it should avoid establishing a
precedent which, if consistently applied will
clearly do violence to the letter and spirit of the
legislation which it has the duty of impartially
administering.” (1968 B u l l e t i n 925)
Based on the foregoing, the Board concludes
that consummation of Applicant’s proposal would
not result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of
any combination, conspiracy, or attempt to mo­
nopolize the business of banking in any area.
However, the anticompetitive effects of the pro­




posal are sufficiently serious as to provide sig­
nificant weight against approval of the application.
Financial and managerial resources and future
prospects. The financial condition of Applicant

and its subsidiary banks is satisfactory, their man­
agement is capable, and prospects of the group are
favorable.
The financial condition and management of
Bank are generally satisfactory, and its prospects,
whether operating independently or as a subsidiary
of Applicant, are favorable.
These considerations, while consistent with ap­
proval of the application, provide no significant
weight in support of such action.
Convenience and needs of the com munities in­
volved. Consummation of Applicant’s proposal

would have an adverse effect on the convenience
and needs of Englewood since it would preserve
Bank’s home office protection under New Jersey
law and close that city to branching from without.
(On tjie other hand, merger with Bank would re­
move the home office protection from Engle­
wood.) While no additional types of banking
services would be introduced into the Paterson
market as a result of the proposed affiliation with
Applicant, an additional competitive alternative
for larger customers would be provided. The con­
sideration of continued home office protection pro­
vides weight against approval of the application
which is not offset by other factors relating to
convenience and needs.
Summary and conclusion. On the basis of all
relevant facts contained in the record, and in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, it is the Board’s judgment that the proposed
transaction would not be in the public interest,
and the application should be denied.

We concur in the majority view that the applica­
tion should be denied. However, we have a differ­
ing judgment as to the weight to be given several
factors involved in the application.
The majority rely heavily on what they consider
to be a substantial lessening of potential competi­
tion that would result from approval of the appli­
cation. They give relatively little weight to the
procompetitive benefits that would result from
approval.
In our judgment, the procompetitive aspects are
entitled to greater weight. Northern New Jersey
and Bergen County are closely linked to the New

LAW DEPARTMENT

York City market and New Jersey banks must
compete with the large New York banks for both
individual and business customers. W hat is needed
in New Jersey is less fragmentation of its banking
resources. In the New York City metropolitan
area a $200 million bank is a relatively modest
sized institution. To more nearly meet the compe­
tition of the larger banks across the river, New
Jersey needs larger banks. The merging of Appli­
cant and Bank would strengthen the resources
needed to better match competitive alternatives in
New York. W ithout affiliation with Applicant,
Bank will remain a comparatively passive competi­
tive factor in the Northern New Jersey-New York
City area.
We would file a dissent from the majority in this
case were it not for the fact that approval of the
application would mean that Bank’s existing
“home office protection” would continue to close
the community of Englewood to new branches for
the foreseeable future. “Home office protection”
is basically inconsistent with a competitive banking
system. It continues to survive in some States even
though public policy at the national level, and in
most States, increasingly stresses the need to
achieve and maintain competitive banking
conditions.
If Applicant sought to merge Bank with its lead
bank, National Newark and Essex, home office
protection would be eliminated in Englewood. We
would encourage Applicant to explore this method
of affiliation.
On the basis of the facts of record we would
deny the application.

cant” ), for the Board’s prior approval of action
whereby Applicant would become a bank holding
company through the acquisition of 50.4 per cent
of the voting shares of First Security Bank of
Glendive, Glendive, Montana (“Bank” ).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the applica­
tion to the Superintendent of Banks of the State
of Montana and requested his views and recom­
mendation. The Superintendent recommended ap­
proval of the application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on April 22, 1971
(36 Federal Register 7623), providing an op­

S tatu tory considerations. Section 3(c) of the
Act provides that the Board shall not approve an
acquisition that would result in a monopoly or
would be in furtherance of any combination or
conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monop­
olize the business of banking in any part of the
United States. Nor may the Board approve a pro­
posed acquisition, the effect of which, in any
section of the country, may be substantially to
lessen competition, or to tend to create a mo­
nopoly, or which in any other manner would be in
restraint of trade, unless the Board finds that the
anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction
are clearly outweighed in the public interest by
the probable effect of the transaction in meeting
the convenience and needs of the communities to
be served. In each case, the Board is required to
take into consideration the financial and man­
agerial resources and future prospects of the bank
holding company and the bank concerned, and
the convenience and needs of the communities to
be served.
Insurance A ctivitie s. Applicant is a general in­
surance agency. Section 3 of the Act permits
Board approval of the acquisition of a bank by
such a company, if such transaction is determined
to be in the public interest. Section 4 of the Act,
however, requires that, within two years of ac­
quiring the bank, the company cease to engage in
nonbanking activities or obtain the Board’s ap­
proval under section 4 (c )(8 ) for their continua­
tion.
The Board has outstanding a proposed amend­
ment to its Regulation Y (“Bank Holding Com­
panies”) that would declare certain types of in­
surance activities to be permissible for bank
holding companies subject to Board approval in
individual cases. The Board’s action today is not
intended to reflect its views on the permissibility
of the insurance activities of Applicant.
N ature o f the transaction. Applicant, an operat­
ing insurance agency, formerly Exchange In­
vestors, Inc., received a certificate of incorporation
from the State of Montana on January 4, 1971,
to become a bank holding company and conduct a
general insurance business in Glendive, Montana,
a town of 6,305 inhabitants. Applicant operates
on the premises of Bank ($12 million deposits).1
Mr. George C. Johnson is Chairman of the
Board of Bank and President of Applicant, and has
been associated with its predecessor organizations
since the first organization of the insurance agency
1 Banking data are as of June 30, 1970.

in 1954. Mr. Johnson owns 67.2 per cent of the
stock of Bank personally; he and his family to­
gether control 70.2 per cent, and other directors
of Bank and their families control an additional
25.5 per cent. Shareholders unrelated to Bank’s
officers own the remaining 4.3 per cent of Bank’s
stock. Mr. Johnson proposes to transfer voting
shares representing 50.4 per cent of the stock of
Bank to Applicant in return for 96 per cent of the
500 shares of Applicant’s outstanding stock. No
formal offer has been made to acquire the interests
of minority shareholders or permit them to share
in the exchange.
S ta tu to ry considerations. Applicant has no
banking subsidiaries and consummation of the
proposal would not eliminate existing or potential
competition among the area’s banking offices or
among local insurance agencies.
However, other aspects of the proposal cause
substantial concern. First, the failure of an appli­
cant to make an equivalent offer to minority share­
holders has long been regarded by the Board as an
adverse circumstance. More importantly, Appli­
cant’s acquisition debt may adversely affect pros­
pects of Applicant and Bank.
In applications involving multibank holding
companies, the Board has considered significant
debt to acquire banks as being an adverse factor.
(E.g. 1970 B u l l e t i n 948.) Such debt may ad­
versely affect the company itself, or lessen the
ability of the company to furnish capital to its
subsidiary banks as needed. Thus, the amount and
maturity of the debt must be considered in relation
to the ability of the holding company to service
the debt, and the likelihood that the subsidiary
banks will need capital. The debt factor is then
balanced with other considerations in determining
whether the acquisition would be in the public
interest.
The record reflects the following facts: Appli­
cant proposes to assume $219,000 debt (now owed
by Mr. Johnson to a third party bank) which
would result in a debt-to-equity ratio of 105 per
cent. The loan bears interest at 4 Vi per cent per
year and is renewable annually; it is contemplated
that the loan will be repaid in seven to nine years.
Assuming all of Applicant’s insurance activities to
be permissible (which is not in issue in this appli­
cation), Applicant estimates that net insurance
income added to projected dividends of Bank
will be sufficient to meet its debt obligations. How­
ever, Applicant’s gross commission income has
been declining, and there is some question whether

LAW DEPARTMENT

689

Applicant could maintain its percentage of net to
gross income. Furthermore, data submitted by
Applicant indicate that funds available for debt
service would not cover the anticipated reduction
of the principal and interest. In view of these
considerations, Applicant’s ability to service the
debt is questionable.
The financial history and condition of Bank
can be considered to be fairly satisfactory and
capital has recently improved to a reasonably
satisfactory level because of retained earnings.
Under all of the circumstances in this case, the
Board concludes that the acquisition debt involved
in this proposal presents adverse circumstances
bearing on the financial condition and prospects
of Applicant and Bank. Such circumstances are
not outweighed by any procompetitive factors or
by circumstances relating to the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served. Accord­
ingly, approval of the application is not in the
public interest and it should be denied.

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(3 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(3 ))
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­
tion Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3 (a )), an application by At­
lantic Bancorporation, Jacksonville, Florida (“Ap­
plicant”), a registered bank holding company, for
the Board’s prior approval of the acquisition of
52 per cent or more of the voting shares of Gaines­
ville Atlantic Bank, Gainesville, Florida (“Bank”),
a proposed new bank.
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Florida Commissioner of Banking,
and requested his views and recommendation. The
Commissioner responded that he recommended
approval of the application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 9, 1971 (36
Federal Register 11126), providing an opportu­




nity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered by the Board.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the banks concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant has 17 subsidiary banks with ag­
gregate deposits of $645.7 million, representing
4.6 per cent of the bank deposits in Florida and
ranks as the fourth largest bank holding company
in the State. (Banking data are as of December
31, 1970, and reflect holding company formations
and acquisitions approved by the Board through
June 30, 1971.) Approval of the acquisition of
Bank would not presently alter this ranking or in­
crease Applicant’s deposits since Bank, as stated
above, is a proposed new bank.
All of Applicant’s existing subsidiaries are in
excess of 45 miles from Gainesville with one ex­
ception. Applicant’s First National Bank of
Gainesville is four miles southeast of Bank and is
the largest bank in the Gainesville area with de­
posits of $47.7 million. However, there are nine
other banks competing in the area, including af­
filiates of Florida’s first, fifth, and thirteenth largest
holding companies. These latter three control
some 44 per cent of area deposits and are able to
provide strong competition. Moreover, the Gaines­
ville area has experienced rapid population growth
and appears to possess attractive opportunities for
other de n ovo entrants. Considering the present
competition existing in Gainesville and the proba­
bility of increased future competition, the Board
concludes that consummation of the proposed ac­
quisition would not adversely affect competition
in any relevant area.
The financial and managerial resources and fu­
ture prospects of Applicant, its subsidiary banks,
and Bank are regarded as satisfactory. The estab­
lishment of Bank would provide a more conven­
ient banking location for many customers in the
northern Gainesville area. Thus, considerations re­
lated to the convenience and needs of the commu­
nity lend some weight in favor of approval. It is
the Board’s judgment that the proposed acquisition

would be in the public interest and that the appli­
cation should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , on the basis of the
Board’s findings summarized above, that said ap­
plication be and hereby is approved, provided that
the acquisition so approved shall not be consum­
mated (a) before the thirtieth calendar day follow­

As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Commissioner of Financial Institu­
tions for the State of Michigan, and requested his
views and recommendation. The Commissioner
recommended approval of the application.




Notice of receipt of the application was pub­

(36 Federal Register 13004), providing an op­

Act. including the effect of the proposed acquisi­

resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the bank concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant is a nonoperating Michigan corpora­
tion recently formed for the purpose of acquiring
Bank. As Applicant has no present operations or
subsidiaries, consummation of the proposal would
eliminate neither existing nor potential competi­
tion, and there would be no adverse effects on
competing banks.
Bank, with deposits of approximately $55 mil­
lion, controls .3 per cent of commercial bank de­
posits in the State of Michigan. The acquisition
proposed herein should result in Bank becoming a
stronger and more viable banking institution and
a more effective competitor in the relevant mar­
ket. Banking factors weigh in favor of approval of
the application since the transaction would place
responsible local interests in management of Bank,
and Applicant proposes to undertake specific meas­
ures to improve Bank’s present financial condition
and to continue to improve operating procedures.
While it appears that banking needs of the area are
being adequately served at the present time, it is
expected that consummation of the proposal will
strengthen the Bank and enable it to better serve
the banking needs of the area. Therefore, consid­
erations relating to convenience and needs of the
communities to be served also lend weight in favor
of approval of the application. It is the Board’s
judgment that the proposed transaction would be
in the public interest and that the application
should be approved.

Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(3 )), for prior
approval of the acquisition of 100 per cent (less

the Board notified the Comptroller of the Cur­
rency of receipt of the application and requested
his views and recommendation thereon. The
Comptroller recommended approval of the pro­
posed acquisition.
S ta tu tory considerations. Section 3(c) of the
Act provides that the Board shall not approve an
acquisition that would result in a monopoly or
would be in furtherance of any combination or
conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to mo­
nopolize the business of banking in any part of the

tive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly
outweighed in the public interest by the probable
effect of the transaction in meeting the conven­
ience and needs of the communities to be served.
In each case, the Board is required to take into
consideration the financial and managerial re­
sources and future prospects of the bank holding

692

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

company and the banks concerned, and the con­
venience and needs of the communities to be
served.
C o m p etitiv e effect o f p ro p o sed transaction. Ap­
plicant, the third largest banking organization in
Virginia, controls one bank, First & Merchants
National Bank (“Merchants”), which has 67 bank­
ing offices located throughout the State. Mer­
chants, with aggregate deposits of $768 million,
has 9.6 per cent of the deposits in Virginia and is
the second largest bank in the State.1 Applicant’s
acquisition of First National ($45 million depos­
its) would increase its share of deposits in Vir­
ginia by only .6 per cent and would not change its
ranking.
First National is the largest of ten banks located
in Pittsylvania County, a relevant market area,
controlling 27 per cent of deposits in the market.
The closest office of Merchants to First National
is approximately 65 miles away and competition
between this office and First National is minimal,
with little likelihood of increasing in the future be­
cause of the State branching limitations.
The Board has considered a report of the De­
partment of Justice which concluded that approval
of the proposal would have an “adverse effect on
competition.” The Department recognized there
was little existing competition between Merchants
and First National but argued that acquisition of
the largest competitor in the market would elimi­
nate the potential of Merchants entering Pittsyl­
vania County, either through de n o vo entry, or by
purchase of a small bank in the County.
Applicant was given an opportunity to reply
and did so. Applicant answered the Department’s
contention that Merchants was a potential de novo
entrant into the Pittsylvania market by stating that
the economy of the market is uncertain due to its
heavy reliance on the tobacco and textile indus­
tries, and that there are fewer persons per banking
office in Pittsylvania County than in other areas
of the State. Applicant answered the Department’s
contention that entry through acquisition of a
small or “foothold” bank would be less anticom­
petitive than the proposed acquisition by stating
that there was no indication that any “foothold”
banks were available, or that the Pittsylvania mar­
ket was attractive enough so that Applicant would
enter it regardless of whether its application was
denied.
1 Banking data are as o f December 31, 1970, and re­
flect holding com pany formations and acquisitions ap­
proved by the Board through May 31, 1971.




It should first be noted that although First Na­
tional is the largest in the relevant area, it is not
substantially larger than the second largest bank,
and, during the last eight years, First National’s
rate of growth has been considerably smaller than
that of the other Danville banks. Moreover, there
exists substantial competition for First National.
As far as entry into the market is concerned Pitt­
sylvania County does not appear to be attractive
for de n ovo entry. The population of Pittsylvania
County and Danville, the largest city in the
County, has increased by less than 1 per cent over
the past decade. The tobacco and textile indus­
tries, which are the two most important for the
area, have been stagnant or declining, and the ad­
ministrative headquarters of the largest employer
in Danville has been moved out of the State. Addi­
tionally, the number of persons per banking office
and the ratio of deposits to banking offices in the
market area are considerably lower than the State­
wide average.
There is little likelihood of Applicant acquiring
a smaller bank in the Pittsylvania market than
First National. There are four independent banks
headquartered in Danville besides First National.
Of these four, two are converted industrial loan
associations which are unsuitable because of their
size and inexperience in commercial bank prac­
tices. A third bank has indicated little or no inter­
est in affiliation with a holding company. The
fourth bank is the second largest in the market,
with a market share of 21.4 per cent, and its
growth rate over the recent past has been nearly
double that of First National. The acquisition of
this bank would appear to have similar competi­
tive consequences as the acquisition of First
National.
There are three other independent banks in
Pittsylvania County which are located outside of
Danville. Another holding company has already
indicated it will seek to acquire one of these banks.
The other two banks are relatively small, in
smaller towns, and are not attractive to Applicant
at this time.
Financial and m anagerial resources and fu tu re
prospects. The financial condition and manage­

ment of Applicant and its subsidiary are satisfac­
tory and the prospects of each are favorable.
First National has satisfactory financial condi­
tion and management and its prospects seem fa­
vorable. These factors are consistent with approval
of the application.
C on ven ien ce and needs. As stated above, Pitt­
sylvania County’s economy rests heavily on the

LAW DEPARTMENT

693

tobacco and textile industries which together ac­
count for almost one-half of the total area work
force. Both these industries have experienced diffi­
culties in recent years, textiles from a large in­
crease in imports and tobacco from health con­
cerns. These difficulties have resulted in the area
economy becoming stagnant and have increased
interest on the part of local people in diversifica­
tion. Several new companies have been brought
into Pittsylvania County through the efforts of
these local people. However, before further diver­
sification can be accomplished, a full-scale whole­
sale banking organization is needed in order to
facilitate such expansion. Applicant’s acquisition
of First National would provide Pittsylvania
County with such a banking organization through
the use of Merchant’s extensive experience in the
field of wholesale banking. It is unlikely that First
National could evolve into the type of banking or­
ganization that is needed without affiliation with
Applicant. These considerations of convenience
and needs of the community lend support for ap­
proval of the application.
Su m m ary and conclusion. On the basis of all re­
levant facts contained in the record, and in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, it is the Board’s judgment that the proposed
transaction would be in the public interest, and
that the application should be approved.

I dissent from the majority’s approval of this
application since I feel Applicant has not carried
the burden of showing that approval would be in
the public interest.
There is no dispute on my part with the conclu­
sion that there is little existing competition be­
tween Applicant’s subsidiary First & Merchants
National Bank ( “Merchants”) and The First Na­
tional Bank of Danville (“First National”). How­
ever, Applicant’s acquisition of First National, the
dominant competitor in Pittsylvania County,
would foreclose the possibility of Applicant’s en­
trance into that market through a less anticom­
petitive route.
Alternative methods of entry would increase
bank competition, with obvious benefits to the
public. Applicant states that acquisition of large
organizations is consistent with its operations, and
that it would not consider other means of entry.
It is easy to understand Applicant’s reluctance to
consider these other means, which would not pro­
vide it with immediate dominance in the market,




especially in the light of Board approval of appli­
cations such as the present one.
Nevertheless, because of my strong belief in the
ability of competition to advance the public inter­
est, I would require a greater showing that alter­
native means of entry are unavailable. Applicant
has not made that showing in this case and there­
fore I would deny the application.

and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­
tion Y (12 CFR 22 2 .3 (a )), an application by
Hamilton Bancshares, Inc., Chattanooga, Tennes­
see ( “Applicant”), a registered bank holding com­
pany, for the Board’s prior approval of the acquisi­
tion of 90.5 per cent or more of the voting shares
of The First National Bank of Polk County, Cop­
perhill, Tennessee ( “Bank”).
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the applica­
tion to the Comptroller of the Currency, and re­
quested his views and recommendation. The
Comptroller has recommended approval of the
application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 9, 1971 (36
Federal Register 11127), providing an opportunity
for interested persons to submit comments and
views with respect to the proposal. A copy of the
application was forwarded to the United States De­
partment of Justice for its consideration. Time for
filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the banks concerned, and the convenience
and needs of the communities to be served, and
finds that:

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ AUGUST 1971

Applicant, the largest bank holding company
and fifth largest banking organization in Tennes­
see, controls 9 banks which hold combined depos­
its of $441.6 million, representing 5.9 per cent of
the total deposits held by Tennessee banks.1 (All
banking data are as of December 31, 1970, ad­
justed to reflect holding company formations and
acquisitions approved by the Board through June
30, 1971.) Upon acquisition of Bank (deposits of
$12.7 million), Applicant would remain the fifth
largest banking organization and its control of de­
posits in the State would increase slightly to 6.1
per cent.
Bank, which operates one office at Copperhill,
Tennessee, is the largest of three banks in Polk
County with 60.1 per cent of the deposits in the
county. Acquisition of Bank would represent Ap­
plicant’s initial entry into Polk County; Applicant’s
subsidiary closest to Bank is approximately 60
miles away from it. Because of the distances in­
volved, Tennessee’s restrictive branching laws, and
the unlikelihood that Applicant would enter the
Polk County market de n o v o , it appears that con­
summation of the proposal herein would not re­
sult in the elimination of any significant present
competition, nor the foreclosure of any significant
potential competition between Bank and Appli­
cant’s subsidiaries. Although Applicant is acquir­
ing the largest bank in the relevant market, the
limited size and nature of the market (each bank
is the sole bank within its community) make it
appear unlikely that competition between existing
banks in the market will be altered. On the basis of
the record before it, the Board concludes that con­
summation of the proposed acquisition would not
adversely affect competition in any relevant area.
The financial and managerial resources and fu­
ture prospects of Applicant, its subsidiary banks,
and Bank are regarded as satisfactory. The major
banking needs of Copperhill appear to be ade­
quately served at present. Applicant proposes to
improve bank services by making its trust services
and managerial resources more readily available.
Thus, considerations related to financial and man­
agerial resources as well as convenience and needs
of the community are consistent with approval. It
is the Board’s judgment that the proposed transac­
tion would be in the public interest, and that the
application should be approved.

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(1 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1 8 4 2 (a )(1 ))
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­
tion Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3 (a )), an application by The
Suncook Bank, Suncook, New Hampshire ( “Ap­
plicant”), for the Board’s prior approval of action
whereby Applicant would become a bank holding
company through the acquisition of 48 per cent of
the voting shares of The Hooksett Bank, Hook­
sett, New Hampshire (“Bank”), a proposed new
bank.
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the New Hampshire Bank Commissioner,
and requested his views and recommendation.
The Commissioner recommended approval of the
application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 19, 1971
(36 Federal Register 11833), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with respect to the proposal. A copy of
the application was forwarded to the United States
Department of Justice for its consideration. Time

LAW DEPARTMENT
for filing comments and views has expired and all
those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in the
light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of the
Act, including the effect of the proposed acquisi­
tion on competition, the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Applicant
and the bank concerned, and the convenience and
needs of the communities to be served and finds
that:
Applicant, a bank with $16.2 million deposits,
has one office with 1.6 per cent of the deposits in
the State, and 25 per cent of the deposits in the
Concord area. (Banking data are as of December
31, 1970.) Applicant proposes to acquire 48 per
cent of the voting shares of Bank, and directors of
Applicant propose to acquire an additional 4 per
cent, with local residents owning the remainder.
Bank, the first to be located in Hooksett, a town of
5,300 3 miles south of Applicant, will, in effect,
serve as a branch of Applicant. Bank should as­
sume a portion of Applicant’s existing business
from the Hooksett area* However, this will not re­
sult in an elimination of existing or potential com­
petition since Bank will be a new institution and
will not open except as a subsidiary of Applicant.
Based on the record before it, the Board concludes
that consummation of the proposal will have no
adverse effects on existing or potential competition.
Rather, the formation of Bank will result in in­
creased banking facilities and competition.
The financial and managerial resources and fu­
ture prospects of Applicant and Bank are reason­
ably satisfactory and consistent with approval of
the application.
The development of an industrial park and a
shopping center, both in the vicinity of Bank, have
created the need for additional banking services in
the area. In view thereof and in view of recent in­
creases in population of the area, considerations
relating to the convenience and needs of the com­
munity to be served weigh in favor of approval.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth
above, that said application be and hereby is ap­
proved, provided that the acquisition so approved
shall not be consummated (a) before the thirtieth
calendar day following the date of this Order or
(b) later than three months after the date of this
Order, and provided further that (c) The Hooksett
Bank shall be open for business not later than six
months after this Order. The periods described in
(b) and (c) hereof may be extended for good
cause by the Board, or by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston pursuant to delegated authority.

and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­

Commerce Bancshares, Inc., Kansas City, Mis­

As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Missouri Commissioner of Finance,
and requested his views and recommendation. The
Commissioner responded that his office considered
the proposal a very progressive step for banking in
Missouri.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­

needs of the communities to be served, and finds
that:
Applicant, the third largest bank holding com­
pany and the third largest banking organization in
Missouri, controls eighteen banks with aggre­
gate deposits of $866.7 million, representing 7.6
per cent of the commercial bank deposits in the
State. (All banking data are as of December 31,
1970, adjusted to reflect holding company forma­
tions and acquisitions approved by the Board
through June 30, 1971.) As a result of consumma­
tion of the proposal herein, Applicant’s position
in relation to the State’s other bank holding com­
panies and banking organizations would remain
unchanged.
Bank ($14.1 million), located 16 miles south­
west of downtown St. Louis in the extreme south­
ern portion of St. Louis County, is the fifth largest
of the eight banks competing in its primary service
area, with 9.9 per cent of that area’s deposits.
The addition of Bank to Applicant’s system would
give Applicant four subsidiaries in the St. Louis
banking market; however, Applicant would con­
trol only 1.9 per cent of the deposits therein and
rank sixth among the bank holding companies
operating in the St. Louis market. None of Ap­
plicant’s present subsidiaries compete with Bank
to any significant extent, and the development of
such competition in the future appears remote be­
cause of natural and man-made barriers, and the
presence of banks in the intervening areas. The
overall effect on competition should be procompetitive since Bank’s acquisition by Applicant will
dissolve an existing affiliation of Bank with one
of the banks operating in its service area. It does
not appear, therefore, that significant existing com­
petition would be eliminated or significant poten­
tial competition foreclosed by consummation of
Applicant’s proposal, or that there would be undue
adverse effects on any bank in the area involved.
Based upon the foregoing, the Board concludes
that consummation of the proposed acquisition
would not have significant adverse effects on com­
petition in any relevant area. The banking factors,
as they relate to Applicant, its subsidiaries, and
Bank, are regarded as consistent with approval of
the application. Considerations relating to the con­
venience and needs of the communities to be
served lend some weight in support of approval.
Applicant intends to assist Bank in expanding its
physical facilities; moreover, affiliation with Ap­
plicant should enable Bank to offer a wider range
of banking services, including bond portfolio man­
agement, expanded consumer lending, and data
processing. It is the Board’s judgment that the



proposed transaction would be in the public in­
terest, and that the application should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons set forth
above, that said application be and hereby is ap­
proved, provided that the acquisition so approved
shall not be consummated (a) before the thirtieth
calendar day following the date of this Order or
(b) later than three months after the date of this
Order, unless such period is extended for good
cause by the Board, or by the Federal Reserve

There has come before the Board of Governors,
pursuant to section 3 (a )(1 ) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 18 4 2 (a )(1 ))
and section 222.3(a) of Federal Reserve Regula­
tion Y (12 CFR 2 2 2 .3(a)), an application by
United Bank Corporation of New York, Albany,
New York, for the Board’s prior approval of action
whereby Applicant would become a bank holding
company through the acquisition of 100 per cent
of the voting shares of State Bank of Albany,
Albany, New York ( “State Bank”), and 100 per
cent of the voting shares (less directors’ qualifying
shares) of the successor by merger to Liberty
National Bank and Trust Company, Buffalo, New
York ( “Liberty National”). (Liberty National is
to be merged into a nonoperating bank that has
significance only as a vehicle to accomplish the
acquisition of all the shares of Liberty National;

LAW DEPARTMENT
accordingly, acquisition of the shares of the suc­
cessor bank is treated as an acquisition of shares
of Liberty National.)
As required by section 3(b) of the Act, the
Board gave written notice of receipt of the appli­
cation to the Comptroller of the Currency and to
the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New
York, and requested their views and recommenda­
tions. Both the Comptroller and the Superinten­
dent recommended approval of the application.
Notice of receipt of the application was pub­
lished in the Federal Register on June 15, 1971
(36 Federal Register 11539), providing an oppor­
tunity for interested persons to submit comments
and views with resptct to the proposal. A copy
of the application was forwarded to the United
States Department of Justice for its consideration.
Time for filing comments and views has expired
and all those received have been considered.
The Board has considered the application in
the light of the factors set forth in section 3(c)
of the Act, including the effect of the proposed
acquisition on competition, the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of the
Applicant and the banks concerned, and the con­
venience and needs of the communities to be
served, and finds that:
Applicant is a newly-organized corporation.
Upon consummation of this proposal, Applicant
will control $1.2 billion in deposits, representing
1.4 per cent of total commercial bank deposits in
New York, and would become the thirteenth
largest banking organization and sixth largest
multi-bank holding company in the State. (Bank­
ing data, unless otherwise noted, are as of Decem­
ber 30, 1970, and reflect holding company ac­
quisitions approved through June 30, 1971.)
State Bank ($743 million in deposits), operates
in the Fourth Banking District and has 31 offices
located therein. It controls 34 per cent (as of
June 30, 1970) of the commercial bank deposits
in the relevant market, which is approximated by
Albany, Schenectady and Rensselaer Counties and
the southern portion of Saratoga County. On the
basis of deposits, State Bank is the largest of fif­
teen banking organizations in that market.
Liberty National ($452 million in deposits) op­
erates its 34 offices in the Ninth Banking District,
and controls 14 per cent (as of June 30, 1970)
of the commercial bank deposits in the relevant
market, which is approximated by Erie and N i­
agara Counties. On the basis of deposits, Liberty
National is the third largest of the ten banking
organizations in that market.
State Bank and Liberty National do not compete



697
with each other to any meaningful extent, and it
appears unlikely they would do so in the reason­
ably foreseeable future. No office of one is located
within 185 miles of the other, and at the present
time New York law prevents either from branch­
ing or merging outside its Banking District. It
appears that affiliation of the two banks in a hold­
ing company system would enable Liberty Na­
tional to compete more effectively with the larger
Buffalo banks and would result in a banking
organization of sufficient size to compete with
the major bank holding companies now doing
business in upstate New York or planning to do
so in the future. The affiliation should not raise
significant barriers to entry into the relevant
markets nor have an undue adverse effect on other
banks there, many of which are or propose to be­
come subsidiaries of holding companies. On the
basis of the record before it, the Board concludes
that consummation of the proposal would not have
a significant adverse effect on competition in any
relevant area.
The financial condition of each bank appears
satisfactory; both are regarded as having com­
petent managements and favorable prospects. It
appears that Applicant will begin operations in
satisfactory condition and with competent man­
agement; its prospects, which are largely depend­
ent upon those of its two proposed subsidiaries,
also appear favorable. Affiliation of the two banks
should enable each to offer improved and ex­
panded services. Liberty National could expand its
services in areas such as leasing and computer
services. It is the Board’s judgment that the pro­
posed transaction is in the public interest, and
that the application should be approved.
I t is h e r e b y o r d e r e d , for the reasons sum­
marized above, that said application be and hereby
is approved, provided that the acquisition so ap­
proved shall not be consummated (a) before the
thirtieth calendar day following the date of this
Order or (b) later than three months after the
date of this Order, unless such period is extended
for good cause by the Board or by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York pursuant to delegated
authority.

CHANGES IN BOARD STAFF

EXPANDED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System has announced the appointment of Robert
C. Holland to the newly created post of Executive
Director, effective August 15, 1971. Mr. Holland
is succeeded as Secretary of the Board by Tynan
Smith, who has been Assistant Director of the
Board’s Division of Supervision and Regulation.
Mr. Holland continues to hold the position of
Secretary of the Federal Open Market Committee.
The functions of the new Office of Executive
Director will include the coordination and over-all
planning of the activities of the staff in carrying
out the Board’s programs, and the handling of
administrative affairs under the direction of the
Chairman of the Board and other Board members
with delegated functions.
Under this arrangement, the Board’s various
divisions will continue to deal directly with the
Board on substantive policy matters. However, the
Office of Executive Director will exercise super­
vision over the Office of the Secretary and over
the work of the several Program Directors pre­
viously designated by the Board.
Effective September 1, 1971, the Board of
Governors appointed James L. Vining as Assistant
Director in the Division of Federal Reserve Bank
Operations, in charge of the planning and systems
development function.
Mr. Vining, who joined the staff of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta in 1966, has been an
Assistant Vice President in the Planning Depart­
ment of that Bank since January 1970. He holds
a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from
Oklahoma State University and an M.S. in In­
dustrial Management from the Georgia Institute
of Technology.

To further expedite payment traffic by making
financial transactions for individuals and busi­
nesses quicker and cheaper, the Board of Gov­
ernors on August 11, 1971, opened the System’s
recently expanded nationwide communications net­
work for use, free of charge, for wire transfers of
$1,000 or more.
The new rules give depositors in Federal Reserve
member banks direct access, through their banks,
to the System’s network. Depositors in nonmem­
ber banks can also arrange for such transfers,
without charge for use of the System’s facilities,
when the payment is made via a correspondent
member bank. The System’s network provides ac­
cess by member banks to communications among
the 12 Federal Reserve Banks and their branch
banks in 24 additional locations.

RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR
Roy J. Fisher, who had served since January 1,
1970, as a Board-appointed director of the Nash­
ville Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta, resigned effective June 15, 1971, to take
an overseas position with the Aluminum Com­
pany of America. Mr. Fisher had been Manager
of Tennessee Operations of the Aluminum Com­
pany of America at Alcoa, Tennessee.

CHANGE IN DISCOUNT RATE
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System on July 22, 1971, announced its approval
of actions by the directors of the Federal Reserve
Banks of Cleveland, Richmond, Chicago, Kansas
City, and Dallas increasing the discount rate of
those banks from 4 3A per cent to 5 per cent,
effective July 23. As of that date, the rate was 5
per cent at all Reserve Banks.
RECIPROCAL CURRENCY ARRANGEMENTS
The Federal Reserve announced on August 12,
1971, an increase in its reciprocal currency
( “swap”) arrangements with the Swiss National
Bank and the National Bank of Belgium.
The arrangement with the Swiss National Bank
has been increased by $400 million to $1 billion,
and that with the National Bank of Belgium has
been increased by $100 million to $600 million.
The increases enlarge the System’s swap net­
work with 14 central banks and the Bank for
International Settlements to $11.73 billion.
A swap arrangement is a renewable short-term
facility under which a central bank agrees to
exchange on request its own currency for the
currency of the other party up to a maximum
amount over a limited period of time.

The Federal Reserve swap network was initiated
in 1962. In all reciprocal currency arrangements
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York acts on
behalf of the Federal Reserve System under the
direction of the Federal Open Market Committee.
The Federal Reserve’s reciprocal currency arrange­
ments are now as follows (in millions of dollars):
Austrian National Bank
National Bank of Belgium
Bank of Canada
National Bank of Denmark
Bank of England
Bank of France
German Federal Bank
Bank of Italy
Bank of Japan
Bank of Mexico

changes, effective Monday, August 16, 1971, in
its “List of OTC Margin Stocks” that was issued
in revised form July 12, 1971. The list was first

National Summary of Business Conditions
Released for publication August 16

Industrial production and retail sales declined in
July. Employment rose as did the unemployment
rate and wholesales prices increased somewhat
further. Commercial bank credit, the money
supply, and time and savings deposits increased.
Between mid-July and August 13, yields on U S.
Government securities rose, while yields on sea­
soned corporate and municipal bonds changed
little on balance.
The President on August 15 announced a farranging economic program dealing with prices,
wages, fiscal policy, foreign trade, and interna­
tional financial relationships.

to July at an annual rate of 8.5 million units. Out­
put of television sets, some appliances, and most
other home goods, as well as consumer nondurable
goods, also changed little. Production of manu­
facturing, commercial, and defense equipment
declined. Output of copper and coal was reduced
because of strikes and the secondary effects of the
railroad strike, and the decline in production of
steel products reflected reductions in orders prior
to the settlement of the new wage contract. Output
of nondurable materials in July was maintained at
the June level.
EMPLOYMENT

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
Industrial production declined 0.8 per cent in
July. The new revised total index was at 106.0
per cent in July and 106.9 in June on the 1967
comparison base year and was 5.3 per cent below
the 1969 high but was 3.3 per cent above the low
last November. Output declines in July were cen­
tered in the material-producing sectors, reflecting
cutbacks in steel inventories and strikes in some
other industries. Production of total equipment
was off somewhat further but output of consumer
goods was little changed.
Auto assemblies, after allowance for the model
changeover period, were unchanged from June

Nonfarm payroll employment declined 190,000
in July with the largest reduction in manufactur­
ing, mainly in the durable goods sector. Employ­
ment increased modestly in trade and State
and local government but declined slightly further
in services. The average workweek in manu­
facturing declined 0.1 hour to 39.9 hours and was
0.2 hour below the year-earlier level. The unem­
ployment rate rose to 5.8 per cent in July from
5.6 per cent in June, reflecting somewhat faster
growth in the labor force than employment in
July.
RETAIL SALES
The value of retail sales declined almost 1 per cent
from June to July but was 7 per cent above a
year earlier, according to the advance report. Non­
durable goods sales were 1 per cent lower than in
June, largely because of a drop in sales of apparel
and general merchandise. Durable goods sales
were virtually unchanged from June.
WHOLESALE AND CONSUMER PRICES
Wholesale prices, seasonally adjusted, rose 0.2
per cent between June and July. The index of
industrial commodities advanced 0.7 per cent,
with increases for lumber and wood products and
metals and metal products particularly important.
But average prices of farm and food products
dropped 1.0 per cent, with large declines for fresh
fruits and vegetables, grains, and eggs.

Consumer prices rose 0.5 per cent in June, after
seasonal adjustment, with substantial advances for
fruits and vegetables, beef, gasoline, and houses.
Among services, home repair and maintenance and
public transportation costs rose sharply.
BANK CREDIT, DEPOSITS, AND RESERVES

ciated with reduced inflows of consumer-type time
and savings deposits. Sales of large negotiable CD’s
were larger than in other recent months.
Net borrowed reserves of member banks aver­
aged about $670 million over the 4 weeks ending
July 28 compared with $300 million in June.
Member bank borrowings from the Federal Re­
serve increased further and excess reserves de­
clined somewhat.

Commercial bank credit adjusted for transfers of
loans between banks and their affiliates increased
$2.9 billion in July, about the same as the average
monthly increase in the second quarter. Loan
expansion accounted for almost all of the July
growth with most major categories increasing.
Acquisitions of municipal and Federal agency
securities picked up considerably from the reduced
June rate and were at a slightly faster pace than
over the second quarter. Holdings of U.S. Govern­
ment securities declined, however, following a
sharp rise in June.
The money stock increased at an annual rate
of 10.6 per cent in July, a little less than in the
second quarter. Expansion in time and savings
deposits at all commercial banks— at an annual
rate of 11.3 per cent— was also slower than in the
second quarter and sharply below the very rapid
first-quarter pace. The slowing in July was asso­

Yields on long-term Treasury bills rose by 20 to
30 basis points from mid-July to August 13, prior
to the President’s announced changes in economic
policy. Shorter bill maturities fluctuated fairly
widely over the month, declining on balance by
around 10 to 15 basis points. The 3-month bill
was bid at around 5.20 per cent, compared with
about 5.35 per cent a month earlier. Yields on
Treasury notes and bonds rose from 20 to 40
basis points, with the greater increases in short
maturities.
Yields on new corporate securities rose over the
period, while yields on seasoned issues, as well as
on municipal issues, changed little on balance.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Minus signs are used to indicate (1) a decrease, (2)
a negative figure, or (3) an outflow.
A heavy vertical rule is used in the following in­
stances: (1) to the right (to the left) of a total when
the components shown to the right (left) of it add to
that total (totals separated by ordinary rules include
more components than those shown), (2) to the right
(to the left) of items that are not part of a balance
sheet, (3) to the left of memorandum items.
“U.S. Govt, securities” may include guaranteed issues
of U.S. Govt, agencies (the flow of funds figures also

include not fully guaranteed issues) as well as direct
obligations of the Treasury. “State and local govt.” also
includes municipalities, special districts, and other politi­
cal subdivisions.
In some of the tables details do not add to totals
because of rounding.
The footnotes labeled N o t e (which always appear
last) provide (1) the source or sources of data that do
not originate in the System; (2) notice when figures are
estimates; and (3) information on other characteristics
of the data.

N ote .—Regulations G, T, and U, prescribed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, limit the amount of credit
to purchase and carry margin stocks that may be extended on securities as collateral by prescribing a maximum loan value, which is
a specified percentage of the market value of the collateral at the time the credit is extended; margin requirements are the difference
between the market value (100 per cent) and the maximum loan value. The term margin stocks is defined in the corresponding regulation.
Regulation G and special margin requirements for bonds convertible into stocks were adopted by the Board of Governors effective
Mar. 11, 1968.

1 Averages of daily figures. Data reflect percentages of reserve require­
ments made effective Apr. 17, 1969. Required reserves are based on
average deposits with a 2-week lag.
2 Averages of daily figures. Deposits subject to reserve requirements in­
clude total time and savings deposits and net demand deposits as defined
by Regulation D. Private demand deposits include all demand deposits ex­
cept those due to the U.S. Govt., less cash items in process of collection
and demand balances due from domestic commercial banks. Effective June
9, 1966, balances accumulated for repayment of personal loans were elim­
inated from time deposits for reserve purposes. Jan. 1969 data are not
comparable with earlier data due to the withdrawal from the System on
Jan. 2, 1969, of a large member bank.

3 Total member bank deposits subject to reserve requirements, plus
Euro-dollar borrowings, bank-related commercial paper, and certain
other nondeposit items. This series for deposits is referred to as “the
adjusted bank credit proxy.”
N ote .—Due to changes in Regulations M and D, required reserves
include increases of approximately $400 million since Oct. 16, 1969.
Back data may be obtained from the Banking Section, Division of Research
and Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Wash­
ington, D.C. 20551.

for payment of personal loans were deducted as a result of a change in
Federal Reserve regulations.
Beginning June 30, 1966, CCC certificates of interest and ExportImport Bank portfolio fund participation certificates totaling an estimated
$1 billion are included in “Other securities” rather than “Loans.”

subsidiaries and other significant majority-owned domestic subsidiaries;
earlier data include commercial banks only. Also, loans and investments

revision, see Aug. 1969 B u ll e tin , pp. 642-46.
4 Beginning June 30,1971, Farmers Home Administration insured notes
totaling approximately $700 million are included in “Other securities”
rather than in “Loans.”

1 Includes Special Drawing Rights certificates beginning January 1970.
2 Beginning with data for June 30, 1966, about $1.1 billion in “Deposits
accumulated for payment of personal loans” were excluded from “Time
deposits” and deducted from “Loans” at all commercial banks. These
changes resulted from a change in Federal Reserve regulations. See table
(and notes), Deposits Accumulated for Payment o f Personal Loans, p. A-32.
3 See note 2 on p. A-23.
4 After June 30, 1967, Postal Savings System accounts were eliminated
from this Statement.
5 Figures for this and later dates take into account the following changes
(beginning June 30, 1969) for commercial banks: (1) inclusion of con­
solidated reports (including figures for all bank-premises subsidiaries and
other significant majority-owned domestic subsidiaries) and (2) reporting
of figures for total loans and for individual categories of securities on a
gross basis—that is, before deduction of valuation reserves. See also note 1.
6 Series began in 1946; data are available only for last Wed. of month.
7 Other than interbank and U.S. Govt., less cash items in process of
collection.




8 Includes relatively small amounts of demand deposits. Beginning with
June 1961, also includes certain accounts previously classified as other lia­
bilities.
9 Reclassification of deposits of foreign central banks in May 1961 re­
duced this item by $1,900 million ($1,500 million to time deposits and $400
million to demand deposits).
10 See note 9 on p. A-23.
N ote .—For back figures and descriptions of the consolidated condition
statement and the seasonally adjusted series on currency outside banks and
demand deposits adjusted, see “Banks and the Monetary System,” Section
1 of Supplement to Banking and Monetary Statistics, 1962, and B u lletins
for Jan. 1948 and Feb. 1960. Except on call dates, figures are partly esti­
mated and are rounded to the nearest $100 million.
For description of substantive changes in official call reports of
condition beginning June 1969, see B u l l e t i n for August 1969, pp.
642-46.

1 See table (and notes) at the bottom of p. A-32.
2 Beginning June 30, 1966, loans to farmers directly guaranteed by
CCC were reclassified as securities, and Export-Import Bank portfolio
fund participations were reclassified from loans to securities. This reduced
Total loans and increased “Other securities” by about $1 billion. Total
loans include Federal funds sold, and beginning with June 1967 securities
purchased under resale agreements, figures for which are included in
“ Federal funds sold, etc.,” on p. A-24.
3 Reciprocal balances excluded beginning with 1942.
4 Includes items not shown separately. See also note 1.
5 Beginning with Dec. 31, 1947, the series was revised; for description,
see note 4, p. 587, May 1964 Bulletin.
6 Figure takes into account the following changes beginning June 30,
1969: (1) inclusion of consolidated reports (including figures for all bankpremises subsidiaries and other significant majority-owned domestic
subsidiaries) and (2) reporting of figures for total loans and for individual
categories of securities on a gross basis—that is, before deduction of
valuation reserves—rather than net as previously reported.
v Regarding reclassification as a reserve city, see Aug. 1962 B u l l e t in ,
p. 993. For various changes between reserve city and country status in
1960-63, see note 6, p. 587, May 1964 B u l l e t in .
8 Beginning Jan. 4, 1968, a country bank with deposits of $321 million
was reclassified as a reserve city bank. Beginning Feb. 29, 1968, a reserve
city bank in Chicago with total deposits of $190 million was reclassified as
a country bank.




185

9 Beginning June 30, 1971, Farmers Home Administration notes are
classified as “Other securities” rather than “Loans.” As a result of this
change, approximately $700 million was transferred to “Other securities”
for the period ending June 30, 1971, for all commercial banks.
N ote .—Data are for all commercial banks in the United States (includ­
ing Alaska and Hawaii, beginning with 1959). Commercial banks represent
all commercial banks, both member and nonmember; stock savings
banks; and nondeposit trust companies.
For the period June 1941-June 1962 member banks include mutual
savings banks as follows: three before Jan. 1960; two through Dec. 1960,
and one through June 1962. Those banks are not included in insured
commercial banks.
Beginning June 30, 1969, commercial banks and member banks exclude
a small national bank in the Virgin Islands; also, member banks exclude,
and noninsured commercial banks include, through June 30, 1970, a small
member bank engaged exclusively in trust business.
Comparability of figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by
changes in F.R. membership, deposit insurance status, and the reserve
classifications of cities and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
Data for national banks for Dec. 31, 1965, have been adjusted to make
them comparable with State bank data.
Figures are partly estimated except on call dates.
For revisions in series before June 30, 1947, see July 1947 B u ll e tin ,
pp. 870-71.

1 Beginning with June 30, 1948, figures for various loan items are
shown gross (i.e., before deduction of valuation reserves); they do not
add to the total and are not entirely comparable with prior figures. Total
loans continue to be shown net. See also note 10.
2 Includes securities purchased under resale agreements. Prior to June 30,
1967, they were included in loans—for the most part in loans to “Banks.”
Prior to Dec. 1965, Federal funds sold were included with “Total” loans
and loans to “Banks.”

4 Breakdowns of loan, investment, and deposit classifications are not
available before 1947; summary figures for 1941 and 1945 appear in the
table on pp. A-20—A-23.
5 Beginning with June 30, 1966, loans to farmers directly guaranteed
by CCC were reclassified as “Other securities,” and Export-Import Bank
portfolio fund participations were reclassified from loans to “Other
securities.” This increased “Other securities” by about $1 billion.
6 Beginning with Dec. 31, 1965, components shown at par rather than
at book value; they do not add to the total (shown at book value) and are
not entirely comparable with prior figures. See also note 10.

7 Beginning with 1942, excludes reciprocal bank balances.
8 Through 1960 demand deposits other than interbank and U.S.
Govt., less cash items in process of collection; beginning with 1961,
demand deposits other than domestic commercial interbank and U.S.
Govt., less cash items in process of collection.
9 For reclassification of certain deposits in 1961, see note 6, p. 589,
May 1964 B u l l e t in .
10 Beginning June 30, 1969, reflects (I) inclusion of consolidated reports
(including figures for all bank-premises subsidiaries and other significant
majority-owned domestic subsidiaries) and (2) reporting of figures for
total loans and for individual categories of securities on a gross basis—that
is, before deduction of valuation reserves. See also notes 1 and 6.

N ote .—Data are for all commercial banks in the United States; member
banks in U.S. possessions were included through 1968 and then excluded.
For the period June 1941—June 1962 member banks include mutual
savings banks as follows: three before Jan. 1960, two through Dec. 1960,
and one through June 1962. Those banks are not included in all insured or
total banks.
A small noninsured member bank engaged exclusively in trust business
is treated as a noninsured bank and not as a member bank for the period
June 30, 1969—June 30, 1970.
Comparability of figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by
changes in F.R. membership, deposit insurance status, and the reserve
classifications of cities and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.

1 Includes bonds rated Aa and A, data for which are not shown sep­
arately. Because of a limited number of suitable issues, the number
of corporate bonds in some groups has varied somewhat. As of Dec.
23, 1967, Aaa-rated railroad bonds are no longer a component of the
railroad average or the Aaa composite series.
2 Number of issues varies over time; figures shown reflect most recent
count.
N o te .—Annual

yields are averages of monthly or quarterly data.
Bonds: Monthly and weekly yields are computed as follows: (1) U.S.

500

Govt.: Averages of daily figures for bonds maturing or callable in 10 years
or more. (2) State and local govt.: General obligations only, based on
Thurs. figures. (3) Corporate: Averages of daily figures. (2) and (3) are
from Moody’s Investors Service series.
Stocks: Standard and Poor’s corporate series. Dividend/price ratios
are based on Wed. figures; earnings/price ratios are as of end of period.
Preferred stock ratio is based on eight median yields for a sample of noncallable issues—12 industrial and two public utility; common stock ratios
on the 500 stocks in the price index. Quarterly earnings are seasonally
adjusted at annual rates.

Terms on Mortgages:

i Begins June 30, 1965, at 10.90. On that day the average price of a share
of stock listed on the American Stock Exchange was $10.90.

i Fees and charges—related to principal mortgage amount—include
loan commissions, fees, discounts, and other charges, which provide
added income to the lender and are paid by the borrower. They exclude
any closing costs related solely to transfer of property ownership.

N ote .—Annual data are averages of monthly figures. Monthly and
weekly data are averages of daily figures unless otherwise noted and are
computed as follows: U.S. Govt, bonds, derived from average market
yields in table on preceding page on basis of an assumed 3 per
cent, 20-year bond. Municipal and corporate bonds, derived from average
yields as computed by Standard and Poor’s Corp., on basis of a 4 per cent,
20-year bond; Wed. closing prices. Common stocks, derived from com­
ponent common stock prices. Average daily volume o f trading, normally
conducted 5 days per week for 5% hours per day, or 27% hours per week.
In recent years shorter days and/or weeks have cut total weekly trading
to the following number of hours: 1967—Aug. 8-20, 20; 1968—Jan. 22Mar. 1, 20; June 30-Dec. 31, 22; 1969—Jan. 3-July 3, 20; July 7-Dec. 3122.5; 1970—Jan. 2-May 1, 25.




N o te .—Compiled by Federal Home Loan Bank Board in cooperation
with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Data are weighted averages
based on probability sample survey of characteristics of mortgages
originated by major institutional lender groups (including mortgage
companies) for purchase of single-family homes. Data exclude loans for
refinancing, reconditioning, or modernization; construction loans to
homebuilders; and permanent loans that are coupled with construction
loans to owner-builders. Series beginning 1965, not strictly comparable
with earlier data. See also the table on Home-Mortgage Yields, p. A-55.

1End-of-month data. Total amount of credit extended by member firms
of the N.Y. Stock Exchange in margin accounts, excluding credit extended
on convertible bonds and other debt instruments and in special subscrip­
tion accounts.
2 Figures are for last Wed. of month for large commercial banks re­
porting weekly and represent loans made to others than brokers or dealers
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying securities. Excludes loans col­
lateralized by obligations of the U.S. Govt.
3 Change in series. From Jan. 1966 to June 1970 the total of brokerextended margin credit was estimated by expanding the total of such
credit extended by a small sample of N.Y. Stock Exchange member firms
according to the proportion of total Customers’ net debit balances ex­
tended by these firms. Beginning with June 30, 1970, total broker-extended
margin credit is derived from reports by the majority of N.Y. Stock Ex­
change member firms that carry margin accounts for customers; these
firms, as a group, account for nearly all such credit extended by members of
that exchange.
4 Series discontinued.
5 Change in series.
N o t e .—Customers’ net debit and free credit balances are end-of-month
ledger balances as reported to the New York Stock Exchange by all
member firms that carry margin accounts. They exclude balances carried
for other member firms of national securities exchanges as well as balances
of the reporting firm and of its general partners. Net debit balances are
total debt owed by those customers whose combined accounts net to a
debit. Free credit balances are in accounts of customers with no unfulfilled
commitments to the broker and are subject to withdrawal on demand. Net
credit extended by brokers is the difference between customers’ net debit
and free credit balances since the latter are available for the brokers’ use
until withdrawn.

i Debt representing more than 30 per cent but less than 35 per cent of
collateral value is unrestricted as of May 6, 1970, but is not separable from
the remainder of this category.
N ote .—Adjusted debt is computed in accordance with requirements set
forth in Regulation T and often differs from the same customer’s net debit
balance mainly because of the inclusion of special miscellaneous accounts
in adjusted debt. Collateral in the margin accounts covered by these data
now consists exclusively of stocks listed on a national securities exchange.
Unrestricted accounts are those in which adjusted debt does not exceed the
loan value of collateral; accounts in all classes with higher ratios are
restricted.

N ote .—Special miscellaneous accounts contain credit balances that
may be used by customers as the margin deposit required for additional
purchases. Balances may arise as transfers based on loan values of other
collateral in the customer’s margin account or deposits of cash (usually
sales proceeds) occur.

1 Equals net expenditures plus net lending.
2 The decrease in Federal securities resulting from conversion to private
ownership of Govt.-sponsored corporations (totaling $9,853 million) is
not included here. In the bottom panel, however, these conversions de­
crease the outstanding amounts of Federal securities held by the public
mainly by reductions in agency securities. The Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA) was converted to private owership in Sept. 1968 and
the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks (FICB) and Banks for Coopera­
tives in Dec. 1968.
3 Represents non-interest-bearing public debt securities issued to the




International Monetary Fund and international lending organizations.
New obligations to these agencies are handled by letters of credit.
4 Includes accrued interest payable on public debt securities, deposit
funds, miscellaneous liability and asset accounts, and seigniorage.
5 Includes debt of Federal home loan banks, Federal land banks, R.F.K.
Stadium Fund, FNMA (beginning Sept. 1968), FICB, and banks for
cooperatives (beginning Dec. 1968).
N o t e . —Half years may not add to fiscal year totals due to revisions in
series which are not yet available on a monthly basis.

N ote .—Direct public issues only. Based on Treasury Survey of
Ownership.
Beginning with Dec. 1968, certain Govt.-sponsored but privately-owned
agencies and certain Govt, deposit accounts have been removed from U.S.
Govt, agencies and trust funds and added to “All others.” Comparable data
are not available for earlier periods.
Data complete for U.S. Govt, agencies and trust funds and F.R. Banks
but for other groups are based on Treasury Survey data. Of total mar-




ketable issues held by groups, the proportion held on latest date by those
reporting in the Survey and the number of owners surveyed were: (1)
about 90 per cent by the 5,680 commercial banks, 490 mutual savings
banks, and 741 insurance companies combined; (2) about 50 per cent by
the 468 nonfinancial corporations and 487 savings and loan assns.; and
(3) about 70 per cent by 502 State and local govts.
“All others,” a residual, includes holdings of all those not reporting
in the Treasury Survey, including investor groups not listed separately.

N o te . —Annual data are averages of monthly figures. The
FHA data are based on opinion reports submitted by field offices
on prevailing local conditions as of the first of the succeeding
month. Yields on FHA-insured mortgages are derived from
weighted averages of private secondary market prices for Sec.
203, 30-year mortgages with minimum downpayment and an
assumed prepayment at the end of 15 years. Gaps in data are
due to periods of adjustment to changes in maximum permis­
sible contract interest rates. The FHA series on average contract
interest rates on conventional first mortgages in primary markets
are unweighted and are rounded to the nearest 5 basis points.
Th 3 FHLBB effective rate series reflects fees and charges as well
as contract rates (as shown in the table on conventional firstmortgage terms, p. A-37) and an assumed prepayment at end
of 10 years

5 Includes IM F gold sales to and purchases from the United States.
U.S. payment of increases in its gold subscription to IMF, gold deposits
by the IM F (see note 1 (b) to Table 4), and withdrawal of deposits. The
first withdrawal, amounting to $17 million, was made in June 1968.
IMF sold to the United States a total of $800 million of gold ($200
million in 1956, and $300 million in 1959 and in 1960) with the right of
repurchase; proceeds from these sales invested by IMF in U.S. Govt,
securities. In Sept. 1970 IM F repurchased $400 million.
6 Payment to the IMF of $259 million increase in U.S. gold subscription
less gold deposits by the IMF.

Notes to Table 5 on opposite page:
1 Represents net IMF sales of gold to acquire U.S. dollars for use in
IM F operations. Does not include transactions in gold relating to gold
deposit or gold investment (see Table 6).
2 Positive figures represent purchases from the IMF of currencies of
other members for equivalent amounts of dollars; negative figures repre­
sent repurchase of dollars, including dollars derived from charges on
purchases and from other net dollar income of the IMF. The United
States has a commitment to repurchase within 3 to 5 years, but only to
the extent that the holdings of dollars of the IMF exceed 75 per cent of
the U.S. quota. Purchases of dollars by other countries reduce the U.S.
commitment to repurchase by an equivalent amount.
3 Includes dollars obtained by countries other than the United States
from sales of gold to the IMF.




4 Represents the U.S. gold tranche position in the IMF (the U.S.
quota minus the holdings of dollars of the IMF), which is the amount
that the United States could purchase in foreign currencies automatically
if needed. Under appropriate conditions, the United States could pur­
chase additional amounts equal to its quota.
5 Includes $259 million gold subscription to the IMF in June 1965 for
a U.S. quota increase, which became effective on Feb. 23, 1966. In figures
published by the IM F from June 1965 through Jan. 1966, this gold sub­
scription was included in the U.S. gold stock and excluded from the
reserve position.
6 Includes $30 million of special drawing rights.
N o te . —The initial U.S. quota in the IMF was $2,750 million. The U.S.
quota was increased to $4,125 million in 1959, to $5,160 million in Feb.
1966, and to $6,700 million in Dec. 1970. Under the Articles of Agreement,
subscription payments equal to the quota have been made 25 per cent in
gold and 75 per cent in dollars.

increases. For corresponding liabilities, see Table 6 .
2 Includes gold in Exchange Stabilization Fund.
3 The United States has the right to purchase foreign currencies equiva­

1 Represents liability on gold deposited by the International Monetary
Fund to mitigate the impact on the U.S. gold stock of foreign purchases
for the purpose of making gold subscriptions to the IMF under quota in­
creases.
2 U.S. Govt, obligations at cost value and funds awaiting investment
obtained from proceeds of sales of gold by the IMF to the United States
to acquire income-earning assets. Upon termination of investment, the
same quantity of gold can be reacquired by the IMF.
3 Includes Bank for International Settlements and European Fund.
4 Derived by applying reported transactions to benchmark data;
breakdown of transactions by type of holder estimated for 1960-63.
Includes securities issued by corporations and other agencies of the U.S.
Govt, that are guaranteed by the United States.
5 Principally the International Bank for Reconstruction and Develop­
ment and the Inter-American Development Bank.
6 Includes difference between cost value and face value of securities in
IMF gold investment account. Liabilities data reported to the Treasury
include the face value of these securities, but in this table the cost value of
the securities is included under “Gold investment.” The difference, which
amounted to $19 million at the end of 1970, is included in this column.
7 Includes total foreign holdings of U.S. Govt, bonds and notes, for
which breakdown by type of holder is not available.
8 Data on the two lines shown for this date differ because of changes in
reporting coverage. Figures on the first line are comparable with those




1,111

1,310

shown for the preceding date; figures on the second line are comparable
with those shown for the following date.
9 Data included on the first line for holdings of marketable U.S. Govt,
securities are based on a July 31, 1963, benchmark survey of holdings and
regular monthly reports of securities transactions (see Table 16). Data in­
cluded on the second line are based on a benchmark survey as of Nov. 30,
1968, and the monthly transactions reports. For statistical convenience,
the new series is introduced as of Dec. 31, 1968, rather than as of the
survey date.
The difference between the two series is believed to arise from errors in
reporting during the period between the two benchmark surveys, from
shifts in ownership not involving purchases or sales through U.S. banks
and brokers, and from physical transfers of securities to and from abroad.
It is not possible to reconcile the two series or to revise figures for earlier
dates.
10 Includes $17 million increase in dollar value of foreign currency
liabilities resulting from revaluation of the German mark in Oct. 1969.
N o te .— Based on Treasury Dept, data and on data reported to the
Treasury Dept, by banks and brokers in the United States. Data correspond
to statistics following in this section, except for minor rounding differences.
Table excludes IMF “holdings of dollars,” and holdings of U.S. Treasury
letters of credit and non-negotiable, non-interest-bearing special United
States notes held by other international and regional organizations.

s Data on the two lines shown for this date differ because of changes in
reporting coverage. Figures on the first line are comparable in coverage
with those shown for the preceding date; figures on the second line are
comparable with those shown for the following date.
9 Increase in valuation resulting from revaluation of Swiss franc.
N o te . —“Short-term” refers to obligations payable on demand or having
an original maturity of 1 year or less. For data on long-term liabilities
reported by banks, see Table 10. Data exclude the “holdings of dollars”
of the International Monetary Fund; these obligations to the IMF consti­
tute contingent liabilities, since they represent essentially the amount of
dollars available for drawings from the IMF by other member countries.
Data exclude also U.S. Treasury letters of credit and non-negotiable, noninterest-bearing special U.S. notes held by the Inter-American Develop­
ment Bank and the International Development Association.

1 Effective Feb. 14, 1966, Australia adopted the decimal currency
