CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY has increased
to a record high this autumn. Over the
year it has averaged moderately above a
year earlier and about the same as in 1959.
While residential construction dominated
the advance from the low of last spring, the
rise in housing starts this year was less
marked than in other postwar recoveries.
At the same time, since 1959 there has been
a shift in the composition of demand toward
apartments and lower priced houses.
Cost of construction rose slightly, and
land costs continued upward. Rents continued to edge higher, even though vacancies, especially for apartments, also increased. Unlike the experience in earlier
postwar recoveries, however, prices of new
as well as used houses apparently remained
steady.
While personal income has moved upward and the desire for improved housing,
particularly on the part of moderate income
groups, is still strong, many of the earlier,
special pressures for housing have moderated further. However, in the mortgage
market, savings at lending institutions have
been unusually high and capital funds have
generally been ample and on terms more
favorable to borrowers than those in 1959
or 1960.
RECENT HOUSING LEGISLATION

Permitted terms on Federally underwritten
mortgages were relaxed further on June 30,
when the Housing Act of 1961 became law.
Like other recent housing legislation, the

Act also emphasized supplementary programs to broaden the availability of housing
for those of moderate means, including the
elderly. It also made special provision to
stimulate major home improvements and to
facilitate trade-ins of existing houses.
Of particular significance was the extra,
and in some cases new, emphasis on programs for urban renewal, mass transit, and
public facilities, as well as for the preservation of open spaces. These programs look
toward improving the environment for fur-

ther residential development, as well as
ameliorating conditions created partly by the
nature of earlier expansions. They are
necessarily long-term in character. Moreover, they require extensive and direct participation by representatives of large metropolitan areas as well as those of smaller
cities and outlying suburbs, unlike earlier
housing programs, which involved mainly
builders, lenders, and the Federal housing
agencies.
The potential stimulus from the new legislation has yet to be tested. This is partly
because of the inevitable lags associated
with changes in the regular programs and
the considerable local planning required for
the other programs. Also, uncertainties
caused by the calling up of some reserve
units and by problems about fall-out shelters
have been disturbing factors.

earlier. While activity on industrial construction tended downward until the autumn,
outlays for commercial facilities turned up
by midsummer, and through the year public
utility construction remained near the peak
reached in late 1960.
Among other private nonresidential outlays, those for private schools, hospitals,
churches, and recreational facilities were

NONRESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION

Both private nonresidential and public construction had advanced sharply through
most of 1960, when private residential activity was declining. Public construction
actually peaked in February 1961, when
private residential construction reached its
low. Private nonresidential construction
edged higher through June. Through November of this year, both private nonresidential and public construction have averaged about 6 per cent above a year earlier.
Together, these two groups have accounted
for about 61 per cent of total construction
compared with 59 per cent last year and
56 per cent in 1959.
In late autumn, private business construction was only moderately below the high
at the beginning of 1961, and during the
first 11 months it averaged 4 per cent above
the already sharply advanced level of a year

maintained at a high level throughout the
year. Farm construction declined after mid1961 from an unusually high rate, but also
continued above a year earlier.
Recovery in public construction activity
during 1960 reflected a sharp although irregular upturn in highway expenditures and
a steady advance in outlays for most other
types of building. Although these outlays
have fluctuated below the peak reached in
February, their combined total has remained
high.
Expenditures for military facilities this

autumn were still sharply below the rate
earlier in 1961. However, outlays by Federal, State, and local governments for highways, schools, hospitals, sewers, and other
public facilities were at advanced or record
rates. Outlays for public housing, although
still below earlier highs, also continued to
rise.

New private housing units (farm and nonfarm) started through November were at
an average annual rate, seasonally adjusted,
of 1.3 million, or just above the declining
rate over the same period a year ago. While
this series has tended to move erratically,
the annual rate since September has held at

Total households include households headed by individuals and
by 2families.
Total families include families with and without own households.
NOTE.—Based on Census Bureau data, including projection by age
for 1965. Age data are for July 1 of each year and include armed
forces abroad. Household figures are for March of each year.
Data for families differ from those reported by Census Bureau in
that they include subfamilies. Data for 1961 reflect changed definition of households and inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii. Figures
will not always add to totals because of rounding.

Over the first 10 months, such starts were
at a postwar high more than a third above
a year earlier and over a fifth above the
corresponding period in 1959. Reflecting
this advance, more than a fifth of total private starts this year have been in multifamily structures.
A number of factors have contributed to
the greater importance of apartments in the
residential total. Along with the increasing
scarcity and cost of land, the shifting agestructure of the population has been of considerable significance. Of the age-groups
shown in the table, only the 25-44 year
group has not been expanding, and this
group accounts for most buyers of single
family houses. Moreover, no increase in
the population of this age-group is in prospect over the next several years.
The number of young people of or near
college age has begun to rise sharply, and,
for an increasing number of families, the

1386

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961

actual or anticipated costs for further education are competing more and more with the
desire to maintain or improve present residential conditions. A rising rate of marriages and of new household formation is
also indicated in the period ahead, but the
immediate increase in demand from the
younger groups—as from the elderly—is
expected to be for apartments and other
rental dwellings rather than for homeownership.
There has also been some re-evaluation
of the transportation and other difficulties
involved in home-ownership in suburban
areas, especially as more, and more attractive, apartments have become available in
urban areas. The increased emphasis of
recent legislation on broad metropolitan
problems and on the need for adequate
urban housing within the reach of low and
moderate income groups has also begun to
be a factor in the expansion in multifamily
housing.
Vacancies. Through early 1961 the number of both families and individuals without
separate living quarters of their own was
still declining. Among married couples in
early 1961, only 1 million or 2 per cent were
sharing the households of others, compared
with about 3 per cent in early 1957 and 9
per cent in April of 1947.
Reflecting the increased supply of housing
in relation to demand, vacancy rates reached
postwar highs in mid-1961. In recent years
most of the rise has been in apartments;
about 8 per cent of available apartments on
the average have been empty and for rent
this year compared with 6.5 per cent in 1959
and about 5 per cent in 1957. The proportion of houses available for sale for
owner-occupancy has also risen further in
1961, and the time needed to complete sales
of such houses has lengthened.




Rental vacancies have continued to be
more pronounced outside than within metropolitan areas, but the difference has narrowed appreciably since the second quarter
of 1959. Vacancies in public housing projects assisted by the Public Housing Administration have remained quite low.
Additions and improvements. Expenditures
for major additions and alterations were at
a new high this autumn; for the past two
years, they have averaged 23 per cent of the
value of new private residential construction
put in place. Needs for general maintenance and repairs have also increased as the
stock of housing has risen.
The possibilities for supplementing construction activity further through major expenditures on additions and alterations have
been enhanced under Sections 203 (k) and
220(h) of the 1961 Housing Act. This
legislation, which now also applies to fallout and blast shelters, allows for FHA insurance of major improvement loans up to
$10,000 per family unit, secured by junior
liens or other collateral, at 6 per cent interest and with maturities up to 20 years.
The FHA Title I improvement loans, which
are still available, allow a $3,500 maximum
and terms up to 5 years at an effective interest rate of 9.7 per cent.
THE MORTGAGE MARKET

Funds for most types of home mortgages
have been ample this year. Mortgage lending has expanded appreciably as residential
construction has picked up. While interest
rates have changed little since late May,
other terms have been relaxed further.
Mortgage terms. The 1961 Housing Act
permits maximum maturities of 35 years on
FHA-insured loans where the previous limit
of 30 years generally applied; in hardship
cases, maturities continue at 40 years. And

1387

CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING

it lowered minimum downpayments to 3 per
cent, including closing costs, for homes
valued up to $15,000.
In August the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board relaxed downpayment and maturity
terms for conventional mortgages at savings and loan associations and increased the
amount of an association's assets that may
be invested in maximum loans. Regulations
now permit lower downpayments and maturities as long as 30 years for single family
homes, up to a maximum loan of $26,500;
these compare with a former limit of 25
years and a loan maximum of $22,000.
In October the Board liberalized the terms
available to real estate dealers and brokers
for carrying houses taken in trade.
Interest rates on conventional mortgages
apparently have changed little through most
of the year. On FHA-insured mortgages,
the allowable interest rate was reduced in
two steps from 5% per cent, which had prevailed since the autumn of 1959, to 5V4
per cent—the VA rate—by late May. As
home mortgage and other demands for capital funds began to expand this year, increasingly higher discounts were required to
attract buyers of FHA-insured mortgages in
the secondary market. Nevertheless, secondary market yields on those mortgages
continued to decline until July.
Since July, yields on 25-year, 5VA per cent
FHA mortgages have edged up to a level
of 5.72 per cent, and there has been conjecture concerning the possibility of an upward
revision in the allowable interest rate. During this period FHA mortgage yields were
the lowest since mid-1959. At the same
time, supplies of long-term obligations most
directly competitive with mortgages declined, and yields on new corporate bonds
(adjusted to an Aaa basis) actually declined
until November. In November bond yields

rose, and the spread between mortgage and
bond yields narrowed somewhat to 140 basis
points, approximately the average spread
that prevailed early last spring.
Offerings of Government-underwritten
mortgages for purchase by the Federal National Mortgage Association rose sharply after spring as lender resistance to the reduced
rate for FHA-insured loans increased and
sales of houses expanded. By November purchases by FNMA had risen to a monthly
total of around $110 million, well above the
declining level a year earlier but appreciably
below previous peaks. Sales by FNMA,
which had approached their mid-195 8 high
early in the year, subsided after spring.
Apart from changes in interest rates and
other terms, a significant development in
the market for home mortgages this year
has been a further rise in delinquency and
foreclosure rates. The rise has been most

1388

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961

pronounced for Government-underwritten
mortgages, but foreclosures on conventional
loans have also been higher. By midyear,
the rate of foreclosures on all mortgages was
about 3.80 per thousand mortgages outstanding, compared with an average of 2.60
per thousand a year earlier and somewhat
less in 1959. Both the high rates of unemployment which have prevailed and the increasingly relaxed terms in recent years have
influenced this development. Easing in markets for existing houses also has been a
factor, because mortgagors in difficulty are
less able to sell rather than accept default.
Home mortgage volume. Mortgage lending this autumn was at a seasonally adjusted rate well above a year earlier but
still slightly below the mid-1959 peak. For
the first time in a postwar recovery, lending
on conventional mortgages led the other
types, and in August it reached a new high.
So far this year it has accounted for a record
postwar share of private nonfarm starts—
75 per cent, as shown in the first table on
page 1385. VA-guaranteed loans have
maintained their share, but the FHA-insured
proportion has declined further.
Total mortgage debt outstanding has continued to rise. By early autumn it amounted
to $220 billion, or $17 billion more than a
year earlier. Debt on 1- to 4-family properties accounted for $150 billion of the total
mortgage debt outstanding and for $11 billion of the year-to-year rise.
The increase in debt on 1- to 4-family
properties in the third quarter of this year
amounted to $3.5 billion, on a seasonally
adjusted basis. This was a rate exceeded
only in the second quarter of 1959 when
the general level of new housing activity was
appreciably higher. Federally underwritten
mortgage debt on 1- to 4-family housing
increased by $1.3 billion in the first half of




the year and by $900 million in the third
quarter to a total of $58.7 billion on September 30. As since late 1957, practically
all of the increase was in FHA-insured
mortgages.
Mortgage lenders. All four major types
of financial institutions continued to increase
their holdings of mortgages on small residential properties this year. For savings and
loan associations, which experienced another

record inflow of share capital, the gain continued particularly sharp. By the end of
the third quarter these associations had increased their holdings of debt on 1- to 4family properties to 41 per cent of the total
outstanding, compared with 39 per cent a
year earlier and 38 per cent in 1959. Relative shares held by commercial banks and
insurance companies declined somewhat.

CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING

Holdings of mutual savings banks rose to
nearly the same level as holdings of commercial banks.
Except at the mutual savings banks,
holdings of VA-guaranteed mortgages by the
major institutional lenders declined until
midyear as the repayments on VA-guaranteed mortgages more than covered the volume of new loans made; in the third quarter,
both commercial banks and mutual savings
banks increased these holdings, while the




1389
other institutions reduced them further.
FHA mortgages have risen steadily this year
at all institutions but commercial banks. By
the second quarter, commercial banks were
also expanding their holdings again and they
continued to provide short-term financing to
other mortgage holders. To broaden the
availability of this type of service, the recent
housing legislation permits FNMA to make
short-term loans on the security of Government-underwritten mortgages.

SELECTED TYPES OF INSTALMENT CREDIT
Ilions of

sumer credit have been revised from July
1955 to date. The largest revisions are due
to the incorporation of benchmark figures
from the survey of finance companies conducted as of June 30, I960. 1 The coverage of the statistics has not been altered,
and estimating techniques are substantially
the same as those described in earlier BUL2
LETIN articles.
Adjustments were made for finance companies back to the previous benchmark figures in mid-1955. Beginning with January
1960, differences from unrevised figures also
reflect incorporation of benchmark data for
commercial and mutual savings banks for
December 31, 1960, and June 30, 1961,
and for certain other financial institutions
and retail outlets for December 31, 1960.
EFFECTS OF THE REVISION

1955

The revised total for all types of short- and
intermediate-term consumer credit at the
end of 1960 is $55.8 billion, compared
with an unrevised total of $56 billion. While
the difference in the total is insignificant, differences in some of the major types of credit
and in some holder categories are relatively
large.
The reduction in total consumer credit
on December 31, 1960, is the net effect of
a downward revision of $693 million in

instalment credit and an upward revision of
$401 million in noninstalment credit. Each
major type of noninstalment credit was revised upward. Among the major types of
instalment credit, substantial downward adjustments in personal loans and automobile
credit were only partly offset by upward
adjustments in other consumer goods paper
and repair and modernization loans.
Finance company survey. The new benchmark data provided by the finance company
survey indicated that outstanding instalment
credit held by finance companies was considerably smaller than had been estimated.
By December 31, 1960, the estimate for
these holders exceeded the benchmark fig-

ure by $835 million, 5 per cent. To incorporate benchmark data, personal loans,
held mainly by personal finance companies, were revised downward by $783
million. Automobile credit, held principally by sales finance companies, was revised downward by $398 million. These
overestimates were partly offset by underestimates in other consumer goods paper
and repair and modernization loans. These
were revised upward by $267 and $79
million.
Other benchmark data.

Revisions of the

commercial bank data were based on condition statements for December 31, 1960, and
June 30, 1961. Incorporation of these
data for December 31, 1960, resulted in an
upward revision in total instalment credit
at commercial banks of $274 million, which
was distributed among all major types of
credit. Commercial bank holdings of singlepayment loans were revised upward by $147
million.
Instalment credit holdings of Federal- and
State-chartered credit unions were revised
upward by $17 million on the basis of December 31, 1960, figures compiled by the
Bureau of Federal Credit Unions. Revisions
in the data for other financial institutions
were also relatively small.
Revised figures for retail outlets were
based on data collected and compiled by the
Bureau of the Census. As a result of incorporation of Census data, retail holdings of
instalment credit as of December 31, 1960,
are $ 164 million smaller than figures previously published by the Federal Reserve. The
largest changes consist of reductions in estimated holdings at automobile dealers and
furniture stores.
New estimates were made for extensions
and repayments for those series for which
outstanding instalment credit was revised.

These revisions were in the same direction
and in about the same proportion as revisions in outstanding credit.
METHODS OF ESTIMATION

The estimating procedures used to adjust
outstanding credit to benchmark figures were
similar for all series.
For financial holders, ratios of amounts
outstanding on benchmark dates to unrevised amounts outstanding were computed
at initial and terminal months. The ratios
were interpolated on a straight-line basis
for intervening months, and revised outstandings derived by multiplying the interpolated ratio for each month by the
unrevised amount outstanding.
Revised repayments were then computed

1392

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961

for instalment credit by multiplying collection ratios available from reported monthly
sample data by revised outstandings for
the preceding month. Extensions were
obtained by adding outstandings and repayments for the current month and subtracting
outstandings for the preceding month.
Estimates for retail outlets were made in
a similar manner, except that where receivables were based on sales figures, interpolation between initial and terminal months was
based on ratios between sales and receivables. A more detailed description of estimating procedures used to derive consumer
credit statistics is available on request.3
Estimates for months following the latest
benchmark figures are based on changes in
the major types of credit as indicated by
monthly reports for a sample of the major
holder groups.

repayments. The revised factors were developed by the computer program used by
the Federal Reserve System. The basic data
for extensions and repayments were adjusted
for variations in trading days before computation of seasonal adjustment factors. In
general, the revised factors tend to be somewhat more sensitive to year-to-year developments and yield smoother seasonally adjusted series than factors used heretofore.
In addition to the regular seasonal adjustments, extensions and repayments of
automobile credit for some lenders were adjusted to allow for the influence of changing dates of introduction of new models of
cars. The adjustments are based on the
average relationship of introduction dates to
monthly changes in extensions and repayments. The procedure for making these
adjustments is similar to that used in making special adjustments for department store
sales data to allow for changes in the date of
Easter.4 The adjustments are still experimental, and subject to further study and
modification.

NOTE.—Financial institutions other than commercial banks and
sales finance companies (p. 1399) are consumer finance companies,
credit unions, industrial loan companies, mutual savings banks,
savings and loan associations, and other lending institutions holding
consumer instalment loans.
A detailed description of the methods used to derive all of the
estimates shown on pp. 1393-1400 may be obtained from Division of
Administrative Services, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Washington 25, D. C.

Notes to tables on extensions and repayments on pp. 1393-96.
1 Net increase or decrease (—) in credit outstanding. Obtained by
subtracting credit repaid from credit extended, except as indicated
in notes below.
2 Extensions and repayments include data for Alaska and Hawaii
beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect
the effect of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two
States.
NOTE.—Data on extensions and repayments have been adjusted,
where necessary, to avoid duplication resulting from large transfers
of paper. As a result, the differences between extensions and repayments for some types of holders do not equal the changes in out-




standing credit. Such transfers do not affect total instalment credit
outstanding.
For a further discussion of the composition and characteristics of
the data and a description of the methods used to derive the estimates
see the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of extensions
and repayments are based on information from accounting records of
retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other
transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and
credit repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.
Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-54 of the
BULLETIN for October 1956.

Revised Indexes of Freight Carloadings
FOR MANY YEARS the Federal Reserve
Board has published indexes of freight carloadings because rail shipments are sensitive
to business changes, and because comprehensive weekly data are available promptly.
Short-run changes in rail freight reflect
in large part fluctuations in demand for and
supply of industrial materials—an area of
the economy in which inventory and price
changes are particularly evident. Notwithstanding the increased importance of trucking, shipments by rail continue to represent
a large proportion of all freight moved.
The indexes of freight carloadings have
recently been revised back to January 1919
and are now being published in the table
on the following two pages. The indexes are
based on data for number of carloadings
for eight general freight classifications published by the Association of American Railroads. The following table shows the relative importance of these classifications in
the total index of freight carloadings.
Revisions in the carloadings indexes reflect mainly new seasonal adjustments. These
adjustments have improved the data considerably for use in analysis of cyclical developments. The revised indexes also reflect new
weights, improved methods of compiling
the monthly series from weekly data, some
NOTE.—Mrs. Rose Cassedy of the Business Conditions Section of the Board's Division of Research
and Statistics was responsible for the revision of the
indexes, including the data processing required for
construction of monthly indexes from weekly data
and for development of detailed seasonal adjustments.
For earlier articles relating to indexes of carloadings,
see Federal Reserve BULLETINS for June 1937 and
June 1941.

NOTE.—Proportions derived from data on 1957 revenues per carload as reported by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Freight
Commodity Statistics of Class I Railroads. Revenue data for 1957
are used as weights for the period beginning with January 1953.
Weight years for earlier periods: 1947 weights for 1942-52; 1935-39
weights for 1931—41; and 1928 weights for 1919-30.
The miscellaneous group consists largely of metals and parts, equipment, construction materials (mostly manufactures but some minerals), petroleum and chemical products, and processed foods. It also
includes some unprocessed agricultural products.

changes in groupings, and the use of the
newly adopted 1957-59 base for Federal index numbers.
The accompanying table shows revised
seasonally adjusted monthly indexes for
total carloadings and for the two major
divisions—that is, for manufactures and
for coal and other loadings—for the period
since 1919. Current data are published in
the Board's monthly Business Indexes release.
Monthly indexes of carloadings, with
and without adjustment for seasonal variation, for the eight classes of freight for
historical periods are available on request
from the Division of Administrative Services, Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, Washington 25, D. C.

Maximum Rates of Interest Payable on Time
and Savings Deposits
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation have increased the maximum permissible rates of interest payable by member
banks of the Federal Reserve System and insured
nonmember banks, on savings deposits and certain time deposits, effective January 1, 1962. The
maximum rates of interest payable by member
banks are contained in the Supplement to the
Board's Regulation Q, the revised text of which
is as follows:
SUPPLEMENT TO REGULATION Q
SECTION

217.6

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 19 of the
Federal Reserve Act and § 217.3, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System hereby
prescribes the following maximum rates x of interest payable by member banks of the Federal Reserve System on time and savings deposits:
(a) Maximum rate of 4 per cent.—No member
bank shall pay interest accruing at a rate in excess
of 4 per cent per annum, compounded quarterly,2
regardless of the basis upon which such interest
may be computed:
(1) On that portion of any savings deposit
that has remained on deposit for not less than
] 2 months,
(2) On any time deposit having a maturity date 12 months or more after the date of
deposit or payable upon written notice of 12
months or more,
(3) On that portion of any Postal Savings
1
The maximum rates of interest payable by member banks of the Federal Reserve System on time and
savings deposits as prescribed herein are not applicable to any deposit which is payable only at an office
of a member bank located outside of the States of
the2 United States and the District of Columbia.
This limitation is not to be interpreted as preventing the compounding of interest at other than
quarterly intervals, provided that the aggregate
amount of such interest so compounded does not
exceed the aggregate amount of interest at the rate
above prescribed when compounded quarterly.




deposit which constitutes a time deposit that
has remained on deposit for not less than 12
months.
(b) Maximum rate of 3^i per cent.—No member bank shall pay interest accruing at a rate in
excess of 3Vi per cent per annum, compounded
quarterly,2 regardless of the basis upon which such
interest may be computed:
(1) On any savings deposit, except as
otherwise provided in paragraph ( a ) ( l ) of
this section,
(2) On any time deposit having a maturity
date less than 12 months and not less than
6 months after the date of deposit or payable
upon written notice of less than 12 months
and not less than 6 months,
(3) On any Postal Savings deposit which
constitutes a time deposit, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(c) Maximum rate of 2 ^ per cent.—No member bank shall pay interest accruing at a rate in
excess of 2V2 per cent per annum, compounded
quarterly,2 regardless of the basis upon which such
interest may be computed:
(1) On any time deposit (except Postal
Savings deposits which constitute time deposits) having a maturity date less than six
months and not less than 90 days after the
date of deposit or payable upon written notice
of less than six months and not less than 90
days.
(d) Maximum rate of 1 per cent.—No member
bank shall pay interest accruing at a rate in excess of 1 per cent per annum, compounded quarterly,2 regardless of the basis upon which such
interest may be computed:
(1) On any time deposit (except Postal
Savings deposits which constitute time deposits) having a maturity date less than 90 days
after the date of deposit or payable upon
written notice of less than 90 days.

Explanatory Statement Regarding
Maximum Interest Rates on Deposits
A number of inquiries have been received by

1405

LAW DEPARTMENT
the Board regarding the interpretation of the
Board's action, announced on December 1, 1961,
increasing the maximum permissible rates of interest that may be paid by member banks on
time and savings deposits effective January 1,
1962. The following comments are intended to
provide guidance in answering such inquiries.
Although the maximum rate on savings deposits
will depend upon the length of time that the deposit has remained with the bank, the maximum
rate on time deposits (certificates and time open
accounts) will continue as heretofore to be dependent upon the stated maturity of the certificate
or the prescribed period of notice of withdrawal
and not upon the length of time the deposit has
remained in the bank. For example, the maximum
permissible rate on a 6-months certificate of deposit would be ZV2 per cent even though, because
of renewals, the deposit remains in the bank 12
months or more.
Time certificates issued prior to January 1,
1962, may be amended, if desired, to bear interest up to the applicable increased maximum rates
for the period subsequent to that date. Thus, a
certificate dated July 1, 1961, maturing July 1,
1962, may be amended to bear interest up to 4
per cent for the period subsequent to January 1,
1962.
Any savings deposit that has remained on deposit continuously for 12 months or more prior
to January 1, 1962, may bear interest at any
rate up to 4 per cent for the period following
that date but not for any period prior thereto.
After any savings deposit, whether made before
or after January 1, 1962, has remained continuously on deposit for 12 months, interest may be
paid at any rate up to 4 per cent for the period
subsequent to January 1, 1962. Where interest
is paid at a rate of 3Vi per cent or less for a
period subsequent to January 1, 1962, when the
deposit has been in the bank for less than 12
months, but where the deposit continues in the
bank for 12 months, the bank may then pay such
additional interest for the period subsequent to
January 1, 1962, as will not cause the rate for
such period to exceed 4 per cent. For example,
if $1,000 is deposited March 1, 1962, and the
bank thereafter credits 3V^ per cent interest, and
if that amount remains on deposit until March 1,
1963, the bank may then credit an additional Vi
of 1 per cent on that amount from March 1, 1962,




so that interest for the 12 months would be at
the rate of 4 per cent.
In determining the maximum permissible rate
on savings deposits, the portion of any such deposit that has "remained on deposit for not less
than 12 months" is the minimum balance in the
account at any time during such period.
It should be emphasized that the above interpretations relate to the maximum permissible rates
of interest and do not preclude member banks
from paying less than such maximum interest by
reason of lower rates or computation procedures.
Notwithstanding the Board's action, it should
be borne in mind that State member banks, as
well as national banks under Section 24 of the
Federal Reserve Act, may not pay interest on
time or savings deposits at any rate in excess of
that authorized by or pursuant to State law for
State banks or trust companies.
Order Under Bank Merger Act

STATEMENT

United California Bank, Los Angeles, California ("United"), has applied, pursuant to Section
18(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for
the Board's prior approval of the merger of The
First National Bank of La Verne, La Verne, California ("First National"), into and with United,
under the title and charter of United. The proposal contemplates that the present office of First
National would be operated as a branch of the
resulting bank.
Under the law, the Board is required to consider (1) the financial history and condition of
each of the banks involved, (2) the adequacy of
their capital structures, (3) their future earnings
prospects, (4) the general character of their management, (5) the convenience and needs of the
community to be served, (6) whether the resulting
bank's corporate powers would be consistent with
the purposes of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, and (7) the effect of the transaction on competition (including any tendency toward monopoly). The Board may not approve the transaction
unless, after considering all these factors, it finds
the transaction to be in the public interest.
For convenience, the first four factors and the
sixth factor may be considered together as "banking factors." The fifth and seventh factors require
separate consideration.
Banking factors. The financial history and condition of both banks are satisfactory. The capital
structure, the future earnings prospects, and the
management of United are good, and the same
would be true of the resulting bank. First National's capital structure is reasonably adequate;
its earnings record has been good; and, in view
of the rapid growth of the community, its future
prospects are satisfactory. Its management is competent; and, while it has been asserted that the
bank has a problem of management succession,
it has not been shown to the Board's satisfaction
that qualified management cannot be obtained




from the bank's present personnel or from outside
sources. There is no evidence that the corporate
powers of the resulting bank would in any way
be inconsistent with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act.
Needs and convenience of community. First
National, with total deposits of about $6.5 million, is the only bank in the town of La Verne
(population about 6,500), which is situated at the
eastern edge of the Los Angeles metropolitan area,
about 35 miles from downtown Los Angeles. The
bank's primary service area—the area from which
it derives 15 per cent or more of its deposits of
individuals, partnerships, and corporations ("IPC
deposits")—consists of the communities of La
Verne, San Dimas, and Claremont and the northern portion of Pomona, together with portions of
unincorporated Los Angeles County north of La
Verne and Claremont. The population of the primary service area is about 27,000.
It appears that First National's primary service
area is experiencing rapid residential growth and
that the population of the area is likely to increase
substantially in the next two decades. However,
there is no evidence that the banking needs of the
area are not now being adequately met, or will
not be met in the future, by banks operating in
the area; nor is it clear that First National, as a
unit bank, will not be able to grow and expand
its facilities in a degree commensurate with the
growth of the community. The relatively small
"loan limit" of the bank ($40,000) should not be
a serious obstacle, since it appears that the anticipated growth of the community is largely residential and therefore should not result in numerous demands for large loans. Such demands as
may arise for credit in excess of the bank's lending limit can be met by other banking offices in
the area or through participations with banks that
are correspondents of First National.
Competition. The offices of United nearest to
First National's office in La Verne are located at
Pomona, four miles south, at Covina, six miles
west, and at Ontario, nine miles east. The primary
service areas of these offices do not overlap the
primary service area of First National. However,
about 4 per cent of First National's total deposits
are derived from United's total service area; and
to this small extent the merger would eliminate
some existing banking competition.
Within First National's primary service area

LAW DEPARTMENT
there are three offices of Bank of America
N.T.&S.A., and two offices of Security First National Bank of Los Angeles. In terms of deposits,
First National is the smallest bank in the area,
with 25 per cent of total area deposits, as compared with 45 per cent for Bank of America and
about 30 per cent for Security First. In terms of
loans, however, First National ranks first in the
area, with about 41.5 per cent of total loans, as
compared with about 39 per cent for Bank of
America and 20 per cent for Security First National.
Although the primary service areas of First
National and of United's offices do not overlap,
they are contiguous; and it may reasonably be
expected that potentially, if not presently, banks
in the combined La Verne-Pomona area will compete with each other to some extent. Within that
area, there are now 15 offices of six banks (excluding a seasonal office). In addition to First National's office in La Verne and United's three offices
in Pomona, Bank of America has six offices in the
area, Security First has three, and First Western
Bank and Citizens National Bank each has one.
Within this area, Bank of America has about 40
per cent of total deposits, United about 35 per
cent, and Security First about 14 per cent. Consummation of the proposed merger would increase
United's percentage to 42.5 per cent. As to total
loans within the area, United and Bank of America presently have about 35 per cent each; the
merger would increase United's percentage to 43
per cent.
First National is the only remaining unit bank
in the combined La Verne-Pomona area. Its elimination as a consequence of the proposed merger
would, in effect, deprive residents of that area of
the opportunity to choose between dealing with a
local unit bank and dealing with a branch of a
large banking organization.
The proposed merger would not significantly
increase United's percentage of total deposits of
all commercial banks in the State of California
(at present 8 per cent) or in the Los Angeles
metropolitan area. However, it would, in the
Board's judgment, have an adverse potential
effect upon banking competition, particularly in
the La Verne-Pomona area and in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Within the former area,
Bank of America, Security First, and United together hold nearly 90 per cent of total deposits;




1407
within the latter area they hold about 78 per cent
of total deposits. Consummation of the merger
here proposed could only strengthen the present
concentration of banking resources under the control of these three banks, give further impetus to
the merger trend in these areas, and thereby tend
to discourage the formation of new unit banks.
Summary and conclusions. On the basis of the
foregoing, the Board concludes that, while the
proposed merger would presumably be a means
of solving First National's problem of management succession and would provide a broader
range of banking services than those now provided
by First National, it is nevertheless not clear that
First National, as a unit bank, cannot solve its
problem of management succession and expand
its services in a manner commensurate with the
growth of its community or that the community
presently lacks adequate banking facilities. The
Board further concludes that, by eliminating the
only remaining unit bank in the La Verne-Pomona
area, the proposed transaction would have an adverse effect upon potential banking competition
in that area as well as in the larger Los Angeles
metropolitan area. These adverse competitive
effects, in the Board's judgment, outweigh any
benefits that might be expected to result from the
merger. For these reasons, the Board is unable to
find that the proposed merger would be in the
public interest.
DISSENTING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN MARTIN
AND GOVERNOR SHEPARDSON

We recognize that United California Bank and
two other large branch banking organizations already control a large proportion of the banking
resources in the Los Angeles metropolitan area
and that their continued expansion, if unchecked,
might gradually lessen the number of local unit
banks in that area. However, we do not regard
this possibility as itself a sufficient ground for disapproving the present merger which, in our opinion, would intensify rather than lessen competition in the La Verne-Pomona area and at the same
time provide a growing community with expanded
banking services. We would approve the application.

STATEMENT

The Marine Corporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a bank holding company, has applied, pursuant to Section 3(a) (2) of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 ("the Act"), for the
Board's prior approval of the acquisition of 80
per cent or more of the voting shares of The National Manufacturers Bank of Neenah, Neenah,
Wisconsin.
Views and recommendations of the Comptroller
of the Currency. As required by Section 3(b) of
the Act, the Board notified the Comptroller of
the Currency of the receipt of the application and
requested his views thereon. The Comptroller recommended approval.
Statutory factors. Section 3(c) of the Act requires the Board to take into consideration the
following five factors: (1) the financial history
and condition of the holding company and the
bank concerned; (2) their prospects; (3) the
character of their management; (4) the convenience, needs and welfare of the communities and
area concerned; and (5) whether the effect of the
acquisition would be to expand the size or extent
of the bank holding company system involved
beyond limits consistent with adequate and sound
banking, the public interest, and the preservation
of competition in the field of banking.
Discussion. The Marine Corporation ("Marine") presently has six subsidiary banks, five of
which are in or near Milwaukee and the sixth in
Green Bay, Wisconsin. In addition, the Board's
approval has been given to Marine's acquisition
of two additional banks in Milwaukee County. At
December 31, 1960, Marine's six banks held $197
million in deposits of individuals, partnerships,
and corporations ("IPC deposits"). Its Milwaukee County banks held $175 million of this total,
and of the latter banks, Marine's largest subsidiary, Marine National Exchange Bank, Milwaukee,
held $144 million.
The National Manufacturers Bank of Neenah
("Bank") is located at the northern end of Winnebago County, 95 miles northwest of Milwaukee.
While primarily an industrial community, Neenah
has also experienced in recent years a substantial
residential growth. Marine has delineated Bank's

LAW DEPARTMENT
primary service area (the area from which about
75 per cent of its total deposits originate) as consisting of the contiguous cities of Neenah and
Menasha, and extending about two miles south
of the city of Neenah. Its population is estimated
at 35,000. According to the 1960 census, the population of Neenah was about 18,000 and that of
Menasha about 14,600. The aggregate population
of the two cities has increased about 8,000 in the
past 10 years. There is evidence of continuing
residential and industrial growth in the area.
The financial history and condition, prospects
and management of Marine and Bank are satisfactory and will not be affected materially by the
proposed acquisition.
In relation to the present and anticipated industrial and residential growth of the two-cities area,
Marine has enumerated several banking service
additions and improvements that would be offered
by Bank as a Marine subsidiary, all of which, according to Marine, will better serve the area's
convenience, needs, and welfare. Certain of the
services that would be offered by Marine in its
operation of Bank would yield increased conveniences for some of Bank's customers. However,
the record before the Board reflects that Bank has
been able to serve adequately the needs of the
area involved during the period of its growth and
could continue to do so even if it did not become
affiliated with Marine. Therefore, while the foregoing considerations are not inconsistent with approval of this application, they offer little support
for approval thereof.
The remaining question is whether the acquisition would expand the size or extent of the Marine
holding company system beyond limits consistent
with adequate and sound banking, the public
interest, and the preservation of banking competition. In the Board's judgment, the considerations
relative to this factor are not adverse to approval
of the application.
Marine, the smallest of the three bank holding
companies operating in Milwaukee County, owns
six banks operating eight offices in three counties.
Seven of the eight offices serve principally the
Milwaukee Metropolitan Area. The eighth is located at Green Bay, Wisconsin, about 110 miles
north of Milwaukee and 35 miles northeast of
Neenah. At December 31, 1960, Marine's eight
offices constituted 9 per cent of the 85 commercial banking offices located in the three counties




1409
in which Marine operates. The $197 million of
IPC deposits in these eight offices constituted 12
per cent of the total held by all commercial banks
in the three counties. If the two additional banks
in Milwaukee County, as to which Marine's acquisition has been approved by the Board, are included in Marine's totals, its control of the three
counties' commercial banking offices and their
IPC deposits would be increased, respectively, to
12 per cent and 14 per cent. If Bank and its IPC
deposits are added to the latter totals, the Marine
holding company system would control 11 of the
100 commercial banking offices and $250 million
of the $1.8 billion of IPC deposits (14 per cent),
of all commercial banks in the four counties in
which Marine would then have banks. At December 31, 1960, Marine's eight offices and aggregate
total deposits of $255 million constituted 1.1 per
cent of the State's 717 commercial banking offices
and 5.5 per cent of its $4,638 million of total commercial bank deposits. These percentages would
be increased, respectively, by .3 per cent and .8
per cent if the two most recently approved acquisitions are included, and by an additional .1 per
cent and .4 per cent, respectively, if Bank and its
deposits are included.
None of Marine's present subsidiary banks, nor
the two banks in Milwaukee County to be acquired, serves Bank's primary service area to any
significant extent. The locations of these subsidiaries range in distance from a minimum of 35
miles (Green Bay) to over 100 miles (Milwaukee
area) from Bank's location. As to competition
from Marine's Green Bay bank, in view of the
distance between the Neenah-Menasha area and
Green Bay, and considering the fact that within
easy access from a major highway that connects
Neenah and Green Bay there are five commercial
banks with deposits, in April 1961, of $52 million,
$24 million, $10 million, $5 million and $4 million, it is apparent that Marine's bank at Green
Bay does not compete with Bank to any significant degree.
There are four banks located in Bank's primary
service area, two in Neenah (including Bank) and
two in Menasha. In April 1961, Bank held 41 per
cent of the IPC deposits of Neenah's two banks
and 30 per cent of those in the four banks in
Neenah and Menasha. On the same date, its three
competitors in Neenah and Menasha—First National Bank, Neenah, Bank of Menasha, and First

1410

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961

National Bank, Menasha, held 44 per cent, 11 per
cent, and 15 per cent, respectively, of the aggregate IPC deposits of the four banks. While, as
indicated, Bank's primary service area encompasses only the cities of Neenah and Menasha and
an area south of Neenah, its total trade area extends beyond to the point where it encounters
some competition from the three commercial
banks located in Appleton, five miles to the north,
and the three commercial banks located in Oshkosh, approximately 12 miles to the south. Thus,
while it is apparent that the residents of Neenah
and Menasha rely principally upon the four banks
in those cities for their banking services, and that
those four banks principally compete for the
banking business of those two cities, the Neenah
and Menasha residents and businesses have numerous alternative banking facilities reasonably
available.
It is the Board's judgment that the resulting
increase in the size or extent of Marine's system
from its acquisition of Bank would not be inconsistent with adequate and sound banking, the public interest or the preservation of banking competition. Further, while Marine's acquisition of Bank
will result in the elimination of an independent
bank, in view of the size and number of remaining independent banks, it does not appear that
the acquisition proposed would significantly reduce
the existing level of banking competition, nor in
other respects be inconsistent with the interests
of the public.
In a Statement of the United States in Opposition, filed with the Board by the United States
Department of Justice, the view is expressed that
the proposed acquisition "would only serve to
further unbalance the competitive situation among
the already limited number of independent competitive units in the pertinent trade area . . . [and]
would also encourage further consolidation among
them, or absorption of them by other outside
banking interests." On the basis of conclusions
reached in reviewing this record, the Board does
not concur in the Department's view. Neither in
Bank's primary service area, nor in its larger trade
area, does it appear that the number of independent competitive units is limited to a degree
incompatible with the needs of those areas.
Neenah and Menasha are served by a bank for
each 8,150 persons, a ratio that compares favorably with other cities in Wisconsin having a popu-




lation comparable to the combined population of
Neenah and Menasha. There does not appear to
exist, in the pertinent trade area, a degree of competitive imbalance that is inconsistent with the
public interest.
Viewing the relevant facts in the light of the
general purposes of the Act and the factors enumerated in Section 3(c), it is the judgment of the
Board that the proposed acquisition would be
consistent with the statutory objectives and the
public interest and that the application should be
approved.

CURRENT EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR

On December 18, 1961, the Board of Governors
announced the appointment of William King Self,
of Marks, Mississippi, as a director of the Memphis Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St.
Louis for the unexpired portion of a term ending
December 31, 1962. Mr. Self is President, Riverside Industries, Marks, Mississippi. As a director of the Memphis Branch he succeeds Dr. Clay
Lyle, former Dean and Director Emeritus, Division of Agriculture, Mississippi State University,
State College, Mississippi, who resigned.
RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR

Mr. John T. Ryan, Jr., who had served as a
director of the Pittsburgh Branch of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Cleveland since September 19,
1958, resigned effective December 31, 1961. Mr.
Ryan is President, Mine Safety Appliances Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
MAXIMUM RATES ON SAVINGS AND TIME DEPOSITS

On December 1, 1961, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System authorized an increase in the maximum permissible rates of interest payable by member banks on savings deposits
and on time deposits and certificates, effective
January 1, 1962.
After that date, member banks will be permitted
to pay up to 3Vi per cent on all savings deposits,
and on time deposits and certificates of at least
six months' term, and up to 4 per cent on like
deposits left in the banks for one year or more.
The present maximum rate is 3 per cent.
The 6,100 member banks of the Federal Reserve System have approximately 50 million savings and time deposit accounts, amounting at
present to some $67 billion. More than threefourths of the total amount is in savings accounts
owned by individuals. The time deposits and

California. (Re-elected)
WALTER

certificates are owned by business concerns and
other private or public institutions as well as by
individuals.
For some time, a number of commercial banks
have contended that the 3 per cent maximum rate
has restricted them in their efforts to compete for
savings and time deposits. One effect of the
action will be to increase freedom of competition
and to enable each member bank to determine
the rates of interest which it will pay in the light
of the economic conditions prevailing in its area,
the type of competition it must meet, and its
ability to pay.
Another effect of immediate significance will
be to enable member banks so desiring to compete more vigorously to retain foreign deposits
that might otherwise move abroad in search of
higher returns and thereby intensify an outflow of
capital or gold to other countries. Thus, today's
action is in line with previous steps taken to moderate pressures on this country's international balance of payments.
A further, longer range effect should be to give
member banks all the scope that may be needed
for a considerable period ahead to provide an
added incentive for the savings that will be required in financing the future economic growth
that will be essential to expanding job opportunities for a growing population.
How many banks may increase their rates after
next January 1, or when and to what levels they
may do so, is conjectural. Experience suggests
that any moves toward higher rates are likely to
be gradual. Almost five years have passed since
the maximum permissible rate was increased from
2Vi per cent to the present 3 per cent. Many
banks, however, still pay less than 3 per cent.
Responsibility for setting maximum permissible
rates on member bank payments of interest on
savings and time deposits was vested in the Board
of Governors by Congress in 1933. The maxi-

1414

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961

mum permissible rate was set originally in that
year at 3 per cent, reduced in 1935 to IVi per
cent, and kept at that level until restored to 3
per cent on January 1, 1957.
The changes announced on December 1, 1961,
were effected by a revision of the supplement to
the Board's Regulation Q. The revised supplement appears on page 1404 of this BULLETIN.
The action was taken a month in advance of the
effective date because many banks, by tradition,
use January 1 as the date from which interest on
savings deposits is computed.
The Board action on December 1, 1961, did
not change the maximum permissible rates for
time deposits and certificates of less than six
months duration. For these, the maximum will
continue to be 2Vi per cent for time deposits and
certificates of 90 days to six months, and 1 per
cent for time deposits and certificates of less than
90 days.
The Federal Reserve action was taken after
consultation with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, which regulates the rate of interest
paid by insured banks which are not members
of the Federal Reserve System.
FLOW-OF-FUNDS SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES

Flow-of-Funds/Saving Supplement 5 will be available for distribution in January. This supplement
supersedes all previous supplements. It includes
(1) annual flow data for 1946-60; (2) quarterly
flows for 1952-60; (3) amounts outstanding at
end of year for 1945-60; (4) new tables for commercial banks and monetary authorities, the two
subsectors of the commercial banking system not
previously shown; and repeats the estimates published in the August 1961 BULLETIN to provide in
a single source consistent figures through 1960.
The tables are grouped into three sections: (1)
summary flow-of-funds tables in the format, order,
and numbering with which they are published in
the BULLETIN, (2) statements for financial sectors
and subsectors not shown separately in BULLETIN
tables, and (3) transaction accounts for the finan-




cial categories used in the flow-of-funds/saving
accounts. For many of these categories, the transaction accounts give detail on subcategories and
components. The transaction accounts have not
appeared in the BULLETIN.
Copies of Supplement 5 will be available on
request. Requests should be addressed to the
Flow of Funds/Saving Section, Division of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington 25, D. C.
In requesting copies, please indicate if you would
like to have your name added to the mailing list
for flow-of-funds supplementary materials. As
soon as the supplement is ready it will be sent out
to those now on the mailing list.
INDEXES ON 1957-59 BASE

Early in 1962 the Federal Reserve will begin to
convert its indexes to a 1957-59 comparison base.

National Summary of Business Conditions
Released for publication December 15

Expansion in business activity continued in
November. Industrial production, construction
activity, and nonfarm employment increased and
retail sales rose sharply further. The unemployment rate declined, showing the first significant
reduction this year. Bank credit increased somewhat further.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Industrial production increased further in November to 114 per cent of the 1957 average—
one point above the previous high in August and
October. The November gains were primarily in
output of final products, both consumer goods and
equipment.
Auto assemblies rose 15 per cent in November
from an October level still limited by work stoppages. Current production schedules indicate a
further gain in December. Output of home goods
and apparel also rose in November, to previous
peak rates, and consumer staples advanced to a
new high. Output of business equipment, with
gains widespread, was at a record.
Production of materials increased slightly further in November. Output of iron and steel
decreased a little less than seasonally through
most of the month. In late November and early
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION
19 57 = 100

December steel mill operations showed a substantial contra-seasonal increase.
CONSTRUCTION

The value of new construction, which had
changed little in October, increased 1 per cent
in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of $59.5 billion, a new high. The November rise
reflected mainly a 3 per cent further advance in
private residential building. So far in the fourth
quarter, total construction activity has been 6 per
cent above a year ago, compared with a year-toyear increase of 2 per cent in the first nine months
of this year.
EMPLOYMENT

Seasonally adjusted employment in nonfarm
establishments rose somewhat further in November to 54.5 million. A moderate increase in
manufacturing employment was accounted for
almost entirely by a gain in the automobile
industry. Average hours of work in manufacturing rose further with advances reported by most
industries. Employment declined in nonmanufacturing industries as continuing gains—to new
highs—in services and State and local government
were more than offset by decreases in construction
and trade. Unemployment did not show the sharp
rise that usually occurs in November and the
seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined
to 6.1 per cent, after holding at nearly 7 per
cent during the preceding eleven months.
DISTRIBUTION

Federal Reserve indexes, seasonally adjusted.
ures, latest shown are for November.




Monthly fig-

Retail sales, after increasing 3 per cent in
October, rose 3 per cent further in November to a
new high. Sales of durable goods stores advanced
7 per cent as deliveries of new domestic autos
rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 7.0
million from 6.2 million in October. Gains were
widespread among stores selling nondurable goods,
with the total up 2 per cent from the advanced
October level.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • DECEMBER 1961
COMMODITY PRICES

The wholesale commodity price index remained
stable in late November and early December.
Prices of steel scrap turned up, after having
declined sharply in October, and prices of lead
and zinc were raised. Prices of most industrial
commodities, however, were unchanged.
BANK CREDIT AND RESERVES

Total commercial bank credit increased somewhat further in November. While holdings of
U. S. Government securities declined, loans and
holdings of State, local, and other securities rose.
The seasonally adjusted average money supply
continued to increase. Time deposits declined less
than usual for November.
Total reserves and required reserves of member
banks increased less in November than in October.
RETAIL TRADE

Reserves were supplied principally through Federal Reserve purchases of U. S. Government
securities and absorbed through currency drains
and gold outflows. Excess reserves rose and
member bank borrowings from the Federal Reserve also increased somewhat.
SECURITY MARKETS

Yields on Government securities rose from midNovember to mid-December, as they usually do
at this time of year. In mid-December the 3month bill rate was around 2.60 per cent and the
long-term bond average was around 4.06 per
cent, compared with 2.53 and 4.00 respectively
in mid-November. Yields on corporate and on
State and local government bonds also rose.
Common stock prices increased moderately
from mid-November to mid-December, reaching
new highs. The volume of trading expanded.

INDEXES ON 1957-59 BASE

PLANS FOR PUBLISHING INDEXES ON A 1957-59 COMPARISON BASE

Early in 1962 the Federal Reserve will begin
to convert its indexes to the new standard base,
1957-59, recommended by the Bureau of the
Budget. The change will facilitate comparison
of Federal Reserve indexes with those of other
Government agencies, which will also be adopting the 1957-59 base period. The following
schedule will apply to conversion of the Federal
Reserve indexes.
EARLY CHANGES

A revised index of freight carloadings on the new
base is included in this issue of the BULLETIN
(see pages 1401-03), and figures for this index
will appear in the Board's Business Indexes release beginning with January 1962. The freight
carloadings index is based on data compiled by
the Association of American Railroads, which
are combined with revenue weights and adjusted
for seasonal variation by the Federal Reserve.
Indexes for employment and payrolls and for
construction contracts will be published on the
new base in the BULLETIN and in the Business
Indexes release as soon as figures for January
1962 become available. These indexes are derived, respectively, from series on employment
and payrolls compiled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and data on construction contracts reported by the F. W. Dodge Corporation.1
LATER CHANGES

Shifting the industrial production indexes from
the 1957 to the 1957-59 comparison base will
require several months. The present plan is to
publish these indexes on the new base by the
early autumn of 1962, and when this is done, to
1
Historical data for these series on the new base will be
available upon request.




discontinue regular publication of indexes on the
1957 and the 1947-49 base periods.
As a result of the shift in the comparison base
there will be small changes in the level of the
total industrial production index, but larger
changes in the levels of most of its major components, as the table shows. The level of each
series will change by the ratio of its 1957-59
average to its 1957 average. Percentage changes
from any one month (or year) to another for a
given series will not be affected by the shift in
base period.

The Board's monthly series on department
store sales and stocks are derived from indexes
compiled by the 12 Federal Reserve Banks.
These Reserve Bank indexes are being adjusted
to the 1958 Census of Business benchmark, and
seasonal adjustments are being reviewed. Revised monthly and weekly sales indexes will be
published on a 1957-59 base when these revisions are completed in the spring of 1962.

and miscellaneous accounts, net, and balances of the Postal Savings

commercial banks. Number of banks includes a few noninsured banks,
for which asset and liability data are not available. Comparability of
figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by changes in Federal
Reserve membership, insurance status, and the reserve classifications of
cities
and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
2
Reciprocal balances excluded beginning with 1942. Reclassification
of deposits of foreign central banks in May 1961 reduced interbank
deposits by a total of $1,900 million ($1,500 million time to other time
and3 $400 million demand to other demand).
Includes other assets and liabilities not shown separately.

with total loans and investments of about $110 million were added, and
8 banks with total loans and investments of $34 million were transferred
from noninsured mutual savings to nonmember commercial banks.

loans; these banks hold about 95 per cent of total commercial and industrial loans of all weekly reporting member banks and about 70 per
cent of those of all commercial banks.
2 Figures for periods other than weekly are based on weekly changes.
3 Because of reclassifications as of Sept. 27, 1961, many categories are
not strictly comparable with prior data; for example, new "Mining"

includes a part of old "Other manufacturing and mining," with which
it is compared; a part of "Metals and metal products;" and coal, crude
petroleum, and natural gas from old "Petroleum, coal, chemicals, and
rubber." "Other durable" and "Other nondurable" were in old "Other
manufacturing and mining."
* Revised to reflect new coverage; see BULLETIN for June 1961, p. 654.
5 Includes decrease of $135 million resulting from corrections o f
misclassincations disclosed incident to the revisions as of Sept. 27, 1961 .

1 Data for cols. 4-7 are for last Wednesday of month.
Ledger balances of member firms of the New York Stock Exchange
carrying margin accounts, as reported to the Exchange. Customers' debit
and free credit balances exclude balances maintained with the reporting
firm by other member firms of national securities exchanges and balances
of the reporting firm and of general partners of the reporting firm. Balances are net for each customer—i.e., all accounts of one customer are
consolidated. Money borrowed includes borrowings from banks and
from other lenders except member firms of national securities exchanges.
2




3
Figures are for weekly reporting member banks. Prior to July 1959,
loans for purchasing or carrying U. S. Government securities were reported separately only by New York and Chicago banks. Accordingly,
for that period col. 5 includes any loans for purchasing or carrying such
securities at other reporting banks. Composition of series also changed
beginning with July 1959; revised data for the new reporting series (but
not for the breakdown of loans by purpose) are available back through
July
1958 and have been incorporated.
4
Reclassification of loans reduced these items by $66 million. See
note 3, p. 1436.

contracts regardless of the maturity date of the contract unless the contract
is matched by a reverse repurchase (resale) agreement or delayed delivery
sale with the same maturity and involving the same amount of securities.
Included in the repurchase contracts are some that more nearly represent
investments by the holders of the securities rather than dealer trading
positions.
2 Averages are based on number of trading days in the week.
NOTE.—Details may not add to totals because of rounding.

Data before 1957 are from the Bond Buyer as classified by Federal
Reserve.
2
Includes only bonds sold pursuant to the Housing Act of 1949.
These are secured by contract requiring the Public Housing Administration to make annual contributions to the local authority.
3 Beginning with 1957, coverage is considerably broader than earlier.
4
Classifications before 1957 as to use of proceeds and type of issuer
are based principally on issues of $500,000 or more; smaller issues not
classified. As a result some categories, particularly education, are understated relative to later data.

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

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

1 Extensions and repayments include data for Alaska and Hawaii
beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The differences
between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the effect

2 Obtained by subtracting credit repaid from credit extended, except
as indicated in note 1.

data and a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are

shown in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of
instalment credit extended and repaid are based on information from
accounting records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often
include charges incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals
and refinancing of loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper,
and certain other transactions may increase the amount of both credit
extended and credit repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.
Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-48 of the BULLETIN
for October 1956; for 1955-60, on pp. 1393-96 of this BULLETIN.

' Revised. See pp. 1390-1400 of this BULLETIN.
1 Extensions and repayments include data for Alaska and Hawaii
beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The differences
between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the effect
of 2the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
Obtained by subtracting credit repaid from credit extended, except as
indicated in note 1.
NOTE.—Data on extensions and repayments have been adjusted, where
necessary, to avoid duplication resulting from large transfers of paper.
As a result, the differences between extensions and repayments for some
types of holders do not equal the changes in outstanding credit. Such

transfers do not affect total instalment credit outstanding.
For a further discussion of the composition and characteristics of
the data and the description of the methods used to derive the estimates
see the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of extensions
and repayments are based on information from accounting records of
retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges incurred
under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of loans,
repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.
Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1049-54 of the BULLETIN
for October 1956; for 1955-60, on pp. 1393-96 of this BULLETIN.

» Preliminary.
For govt. sectors, saving is excess of all nonfinancial receipts over all
nonfinancial outlays; investment, changes in financial assets and liabilities
only. Govt. current outlays include, and govt. (and national) investment
excludes, govt. purchases of tangible assets.
2 Annual figures for farm sector are retained earnings of corporate
farms; farm and nonfarm unincorporated businesses shown as having
zero annual net saving. Quarterly figures for both sectors include seasonal
net3 saving. See p. 838 of the BULLETIN for August 1959.
Depreciation, accidental damage to fixed capital, and capital outlays
charged to current account. Line H includes amounts for financial
sectors not shown separately. See discussion on p. 836 of the BULLETIN
for4 August 1959.
For consumers, 1- to 4-family dwellings, completed and purchases of
additions and alterations. Investment of nonfarm business sectors
includes work in process on 1- to 4-family dwellings and other private

residential
construction.
5
After inventory valuation adjustment.
6
Financial component of national investment equals net lending to
rest of world; financial flows among domestic sectors cancel out in
national total. (Discrepancies in financial transactions attributed entirely
to domestic transactions.) Differs from U.S. "net foreign investment"
(net exports minus net unilateral transfers in national income accounts)
by discrepancy in rest-of-world account, which equals "errors and
omissions" in Dept. of Commerce balance-of-payments statement for
the7 United States.
Saving and investment are equal in concept but may differ statistically
because of discrepancies. See p. 857 of the BULLETIN for August 1959.
NOTE.—Descriptions of sectors and of transaction categories are given
in notes to tables and in "Technical Notes," pp. 846-59 of the BULLETIN
for August 1959. For latest detailed flow of funds/saving tables, see
the BULLETIN for October 1961.

Notes to table on opposite page.
1 Demand deposit liabilities of banking system are net of F. R. float
and cash items in process of collection as reported by commercial banks.
Sum of sector holdings (partly on holder-record basis) differs from liability
total mainly because of mail float (checks in transit from drawers to
drawees). For further discussion, see p. 853 of the BULLETIN for August
1959.
2 Consumer-held only; includes net interest accruals. Savings bonds

held by other sectors included in Federal obligations category.
3 Mainly time deposits of State and local governments, corporate
businesses,
and savings institutions.
4
Assets in these categories are treated as consumer holdings.
s Marketable issues maturing within one year and, prior to 1956,
savings
notes.
6
Excludes loans to domestic commercial banks. Gross of valuation
reserves.

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

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

Excludes U.S.S.R., other Eastern European countries, and China
Mainland.
Represents reported gold holdings of central banks and governments
and international institutions, unpublished holdings of various central
banks and governments, estimated holdings of British Exchange Equalization Account based on figures shown for United Kingdom, and estimated official holdings of countries from which no reports are received.
The figures included for the Bank for International Settlements represent the Bank's gold assets net of gold deposit liabilities. This procedure
avoids the overstatement of total world gold reserves since most of the
gold deposited with the B.I.S. is included in the gold reserves of individual
countries.
