Upturn in Production
since February
industrial production has recovered one-half
or more of the 7 per cent decline that occurred after July 1960. By April the index
had risen to 105 per cent of the 1957 average, from the low of 102, and a further increase in May is indicated by weekly data
for some major industries. For autos and
steel, seasonally adjusted output rates have
risen about 30 per cent from mid-March
to early May.
Increases in prices of scrap metals, copper, and other sensitive industrial materials
have accompanied the expansion in business
demands. Average prices of these materials
turned up in late February. In relation to
the revival in industrial activity, the upturn
in sensitive prices occurred earlier than in
1958, as the chart shows. List prices of industrial products—consumer goods and
business equipment—have remained stable.
Since December, unemployment has re-

mained at a rate of just under 7 per cent of
the civilian labor force, compared with 5
per cent at the low in May 1960 and a high
of 7.5 per cent in the summer of 1958.
Following usual cyclical patterns, improvement in the labor market has been evident
in increased weekly hours and earnings in
manufacturing and decreased claims for unemployment benefits. After a slight decline
from the October peak, personal income
rose to new highs in March and April. In
recent months it has averaged 2.5 per cent
higher than a year earlier.

IN THE THREE MONTHS

BROAD SHIFTS IN OUTPUT AND DEMANDS

Changes in inventory demands have been a
major factor in the recent upturn in production, as they were in the earlier decline.
For a time after the 4-month steel strike in
late 1959, business demands for metals and
some metal products were very strong. With

Spending for consumer services and for
foods and other staples continued to increase
last year, but after early spring there was a
contraction in demands for autos, apparel,
and home goods. Total retail sales declined, both in absolute terms and in relation to disposable personal income. Severe
winter weather intensified the decline in
demands. In March and April total retail
sales were somewhat above the JanuaryFebruary level. In early May auto sales
rose appreciably further.

515

UPTURN IN PRODUCTION

At its high in 1960, industrial output of
consumer goods was 15 per cent above the
peak three years earlier and inventories
were accumulating. Production declined 5
per cent from mid-1960 to January of this
year, and subsequently turned up. At the
recent low, output was also about 15 per
cent above the early 1958 low. Over the
past three years the growth in output of consumer goods has been maintained at about
the earlier postwar rate.
Home goods and apparel. From mid-195 9
to mid-1960 production of apparel and of
appliances, furniture, and miscellaneous
home goods was nearly 20 per cent above
the 1957 average. At this rate output was
higher than sales. Reductions in output developed earlier for these goods than for

automotive products, as the chart on page
514 shows, and the curtailments were about
one-tenth compared with one-fourth for
automotive products. Output of apparel
and home goods turned up in February of
1961, when auto production was still declining, and by April it had recovered about
one-half of its earlier loss.
The upturn in output of apparel and
home goods was associated with a considerable reduction in stocks and some improvement in retail sales. By the beginning of
1961 manufacturers of appliances, television, and furniture had reduced their stocks
one-tenth from last summer's high. Stocks
of these goods at department stores were
also lower. Since January, sales have recovered somewhat. The recent increase in
housing starts, an important influence on demand for home goods, has improved sales
prospects.
Autos. Output of automotive products
was maintained at advanced rates through
the summer and early autumn of 1960. The
high rate of output in this period—nearly
20 per cent above the 1957 average—reflected in part an addition to the number of
compact makes available and a faster
changeover to new models than usual. Sales
were also high during the autumn, but more
than a fifth of the new cars sold in that
period were from the large carryover of
1960 models, which were available at reduced prices. With the strength and modelcomposition of demands for 1961 autos still
to be tested, dealers were accumulating
large stocks of the new models.
Auto production began to decline in
November, mainly because stocks had
reached record highs by that time, and then
was curtailed sharply as sales declined in
December and January. At the low in

516
March seasonally adjusted auto assemblies
were two-fifths below the October peak.
Sales began to recover in late February,
as weather became more favorable. In
March and April sales of domestic autos
were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 5.2 million units, compared with an
average of 4.7 million in January-February.
The total for the year 1960 was 6.1 million.
By the end of April dealer stocks, seasonally adjusted, had declined one-third from
the high level last autumn and were onetenth less than last spring.
As a result of the lower level of stocks
and the increase in sales, auto output rose
about 30 per cent from March to early May.
Industry schedules indicate that output will
be held at or above sales in the period immediately ahead.
BUSINESS EQUIPMENT

Compared with the growth of 15 per cent in
production of consumer goods, activity in
the business equipment industries at its high
in mid-1960 only equaled its 1957 peak.
Output of business equipment turned down
last autumn and by March 1961 it had declined about 5 per cent. In April production of equipment increased.
The mildness of the curtailment in equipment output contrasts markedly with earlier postwar downturns. The recent decrease was about the same as the decline in
consumer goods, as the chart on page 513
shows. In 1957-58 the decline of 20 per
cent was several times as large as the decrease in consumer goods output.
Among the components of the equipment
total, there was no decline in the production
of office machinery, which includes electronic computers. Declines in both orders

were relatively mild, and new orders have
risen this year. Cutbacks were substantial
for railroad cars and trucks. Output of farm
equipment declined through the summer of
1960, but has risen in recent months.
Expenditures and internal funds. The mildness of the capital goods decline has been
apparent in domestic capital expenditure figures. Surveys indicate that business spending for plant and equipment in the second
quarter of 1961 will be a little more than 5
per cent below the high a year ago. They
also indicate that spending will increase in
the second half and that for the year as a
whole planned spending will be about as
large as in 1960. This contrasts with an
actual decline in capital outlays of 17 per
cent from 1957 to 1958.
Within the plant and equipment total, the
decline began earlier and was larger for
equipment than for plant construction.
While equipment purchases and production
turned down last autumn, business construction put in place continued to increase to a
peak in January of this year. Since then,
it has declined only slightly.
Domestic business expenditures for equipment declined more than total sales of equipment because exports increased. The dollar
volume of machinery exports, after declining during most of 1957 and 1958, has been
rising since then, and in March was about
15 per cent above the 1957 level. Government purchases of military equipment also
have increased since the middle of last year.
Corporate internal funds available for
business investment and other uses have
been large relative to corporate capital
spending. Internal funds exceeded capital
spending in 1959 and 1960, as the accompanying chart shows, whereas from early
1956 to mid-195 8 capital spending exceeded
the volume of internal funds.

517

UPTURN IN PRODUCTION

Corporate internal funds have declined
slightly since mid-1959. After a sharp increase in the 1958-59 recovery, retained
earnings fell during the steel strike, recovered somewhat in early 1960, and then declined again. Depreciation allowances,
meanwhile, have continued to grow.
Output-capacity relationships. Among the
factors influencing investment decisions are
the pressures of output on capacity. These
have been less than in earlier postwar years.

tion was at a record high, the rate of utilization of manufacturing capacity appeared
to be about the same as in early 1957, but
it was lower than in earlier periods of high
production, as the chart shows. In the first
quarter of 1961, reflecting the mildness of
production curtailments, utilization of man-




ufacturing capacity was higher than in early
1958, but lower than in the 1953-54 recession.
Because of the severity of the recent rate
of inventory liquidation, capacity utilization
for major materials fell in late 1960 to a
point nearly as low as in early 1958. Since
December, however, output of major materials has been rising and this has narrowed
the margin between capacity and output.
For electric utilities, margins between
peak loads and capability widened considerably from a tight situation in the early postwar years to some excess in 1958 and then
widened slightly further from 1958 to 1960.
Scheduled additions to capacity were cut
back substantially from late 1957 to mid1959 but there was some recovery after that.
For the last few quarters, scheduled additions have fluctuated within a narrow range.

Output of industrial materials declined 4
per cent during the first half of 1960, when
total industrial production was maintained,
and then declined 8 per cent further to a low
early this year. Production of final products declined only about 5 per cent from the
highs of mid-1960 and, as a consequence,
liquidation of inventories of materials proceeded at a rapid rate. Steel output reached
its low in December 1960, and output of industrial materials as a group has been increasing since February.
The adjustment in production of industrial materials was concentrated in durable
materials. The decrease in these materials
was about one-fifth compared with onefourth in the 1957-58 recession. Output
of nondurable materials was maintained
through the early summer of 1960, and then
declined 4 per cent, only about one-third
as much as in 1957-58.

Durable materials. Pronounced shifts in
demands for and inventories of metals, particularly steel, have had a strong influence
on the fluctuations in output of materials
over the past two years. After the 1959
strike, output of steel ingots rose sharply,
as shown in the chart. Total shipments of
steel mill products, including imports, to domestic industries reached an advanced rate

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

Activity in steel consuming industries declined only moderately from the first to the
second half of 1960. In the first quarter
of this year activity was reduced substantially because of the cutback in auto production and the further small decrease in
output of equipment. For the entire period,
however, the decrease in activity in steel consuming industries was much slower and
smaller than during the 1957-58 recession,
as the chart shows.
STEEL
Steel production and shipments declined
much more than activity in steel consuming
industries from early 1960 to early 1961.
Reflecting the shift from rapid accumulation of stocks to liquidation, shipments
declined by 45 per cent. This was a little
greater than in 1957-5 8. Inventory liquidation in the recent period was at a rate equaled
or exceeded only during steel strikes.
By the end of 1960 steel stocks had been
substantially reduced and were still declining. Steel output turned up in January, and

gan in mid-1960, when appliance production was reduced, and accelerated from
October to January, when auto assemblies
were sharply curtailed. Shipments of steel to
these industries declined much more than
their use of steel, and by early 1961 inventories had been reduced substantially.
Output of appliances and other durable
home goods showed some improvement in
the first quarter of 1961, and shipments of
steel to these industries increased. By early
May auto production was one-third above
the curtailed first-quarter rate.
There was liquidation of inventories of
steel and also of other materials in the construction industries in 1960. Total output
of construction materials—including steel
products—in March was more than 10 per
cent below the advanced level of last July.
The total volume of construction activity
changed little from late 1959 to the spring
of this year.
Nondurable materials. The moderate adjustment in output of nondurable materials




519
in the second half of 1960 reflected mainly
a marked decline in textiles and a more
moderate reduction in industrial chemicals.
Apparel production declined almost as much
after July as it did in 1957-58. This, together with decreased demands for industrial
fabrics, led to a 15 per cent curtailment in
output of textile mill products. By April
textile output had risen 8 per cent from the
December low.
As a result of cutbacks in basic inorganic
chemicals and synthetic materials, production of industrial chemicals declined more
than 5 per cent from mid-1960 to early
1961. Production has risen since then
under the impetus of recovery in steel and
textiles and, more recently, in autos.
At the low early this year, total production of industrial materials was considerably
below the rate at which they were being consumed. Output of materials increased
4 per cent from February to April, but production and sales of final products also expanded and inventory liquidation continued.

Member Bank Earnings, i960
showed substantial gains
in net profits in 1960. Some of the gain
represented larger net earnings on current
operations, but most of it reflected a change
in the results of nonoperating transactions
in securities. In 1960 these transactions
showed a small net gain due principally to
profits from sales as well as smaller losses
and charge-offs, whereas in 1959 they had
shown a large net loss. Banks used almost
all of the increase in net profits in 1960 to
strengthen their capital position. Dividend
payments rose only slightly.
The gross operating earnings of member
banks for 1960 were $8,928 million, 11
per cent more than in 1959. Larger current expenses offset only a part of this
growth, and net current earnings before income taxes rose 12 per cent to $3,273 million.1
Profits before income taxes were $898
million, or 44 per cent, higher than in 1959.
Because of their larger profits, member
banks increased their provisions for Federal
and State income taxes by $466 million.
After provision for taxes, net profits rose
$432 million, a 34 per cent gain over 1959.
Dividend declarations increased by only
$45 million in 1960 to $735 million. The
remainder of net profits—$954 million—
was used to augment capital.
MEMBER BANKS

The ratio of net profits to average total
capital accounts rose from 7.9 per cent in
1959 to 10.0 per cent in 1960. This is the
highest ratio since 1945 and is well above
the 8.2 per cent average for the postwar
years. The ratio of average total capital
accounts to total assets rose from 8.0 per
cent in 1959 to 8.3 per cent in 1960. This,
too, was a new high for the postwar period.
On the other hand, the ratio of average total
capital accounts to so-called risk assets, that
is, total assets less Government securities
and cash assets, continued to decline in
1960.
A summary of factors contributing to the
increase in net profits of member banks in

securities more than offset a decline of $172
million in all other types.
It should be noted that although member
bank holdings of both U. S. Government
securities and other securities showed net
increases from December 1959 to December
I960, their average holdings of both types
declined for the year as a whole. Banks
generally reduced their security holdings
during the first half of 1960 and it was not
until October that their investments in
securities reached end-of-1959 levels. The
large expansion in security holdings that
occurred in the last quarter was not sufficient to maintain average holdings at 1959
levels.
Earnings on loans increased by $709 million, or by about 14 per cent, over the total
for 1959. This growth reflected both the
substantially larger average holdings and an

At the end of 1960 member banks held
$166 billion of earning assets, $7.7 billion
more than at the end of 1959. Loans outstanding rose by $5.2 billion during the
year, holdings of U. S. Government securities by $2.3 billion, and holdings of other
securities by $292 million. Most of the
increase in loans was in two categories—
commercial and industrial loans and other
loans to individuals—but all types showed
some increase.
Most of the expansion in holdings of U. S.
Government securities was in Treasury bills
and notes. Holdings of Treasury bonds,
particularly those in the 5- to 10-year maturity group, declined.
Among other
securities, an increase of $464 million in

Totals are net (after deduction of valuation reserves); individual

2
Includes small amount of guaranteed obligations.

An increase of $23 million in earnings on
other securities in 1960 reflected a higher
average rate of return as average holdings for
the year declined slightly.
Earnings on loans increased as a proportion of total earnings in 1960 while those
on U. S. Government securities declined.
These trends began in 1947. Although all
other items of current operating earnings
rose in 1960, as in most other recent years,
they continued to represent about the same
proportion of total earnings as they have
since 1950. As a whole, operating earnings in 1960 represented a return of 4.4
per cent on average total assets. This compares with 4.1 per cent in 1959 and was the




highest for any postwar year. Although
interest rates generally declined during the
year, earning assets of banks in 1960 consisted largely of loans and investments acquired during previous periods and average
rates of return did not immediately reflect
the lower rates.

All categories of member bank expenses
continued to rise in 1960. Total expenses,
at $5,655 million, were $515 million, or 10
per cent, more than in 1959.
Interest paid on time deposits continued
to increase, both in total and as a percentage
of gross current operating earnings. Average holdings of these deposits rose $1.5 billion during 1960, and the average rate of interest paid rose from 2.36 per cent to 2.58
per cent. This was the largest annual increase in the average rate since 1957, when
the regulatory limits on maximum rates were
raised. The moderate increase in average
total time deposit liabilities in 1960 covers
a slight decline in the early months of the
year, which was more than offset later.
Since the end of 1956 time deposits at
member banks have risen $16.7 billion.
These deposits now represent 31 per cent
of total deposits compared with 25 per cent
in 1956. Interest payments on such deposits absorbed more than 16 per cent of
total earnings in 1960. compared with 11
per cent in 1956.
Salaries and wages accounted for $170
million of the increase in total expenses during 1960 as both the number and the average compensation of officers and employees
continued to expand. Nevertheless, salaries
and wages declined as a proportion of total
expenses, and this item represented a smaller
proportion of gross current earnings than at
any time in recent years.

MEMBER BANK EARNINGS, 1960
PROFITS, RECOVERIES, LOSSES, AND
TRANSFERS TO VALUATION RESERVES

and charge-offs on securities, although
down sharply from last year, were close to
the average for recent years.
Transactions in loans, always a "net
loss," reduced net profits by $326 million
in 1960 compared with $221 million in
1959; and losses and charge-offs on all
other assets reduced such profits by $25 million, about the same as in other recent years.
Member banks increased their valuation
reserves on loans by $148 million in 1960.
Such reserves have expanded in each year
since 1948, when banks first began to report the amounts of these reserves. In addition, they increased their valuation reserves
on securities by $64 million during 1960.
These reserves also rose in 1954 and 1958,

Nonoperating transactions reduced net profits by $344 million in 1960 compared with
a reduction of $904 million in 1959. Member banks have shown a net gain from these
transactions in only three postwar years—
1946, 1954, and 1958. In those years profits on sales of securities more than offset
other transactions on loans and securities,
which tend to reduce net profits.
In 1960 transactions in securities resulted
in an $8 million increase in net profits compared with a loss of $651 million in 1959.
Profits on sales of securities, at $284 million, were larger than in any other postwar
year except 1954 and 1958, while losses

INCOME TAXES

Reflecting the substantial increase in profits
before income taxes, member banks increased their provisions for taxes on net income in 1960. The total provided for such
taxes, $1,241 million, represented 42 per
cent of profits before income taxes compared
with 38 per cent in 1959.
CASH DIVIDENDS

Cash dividends declared in 1960 amounted
to $735 million, $45 million more than in




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

1959. This amount represented 44 per cent
of net profits compared with 55 per cent in
the earlier year. The ratio of cash dividends
to average total capital accounts, 4.4 per
cent, was only slightly larger than in 1959.
Banks retained $954 million of their earnings in 1960, $387 million more than in
1959. Retained earnings accounted for 84
per cent of the increase in total capital accounts during the year.
Earnings and profits by reserve classification of member banks for 1959 and 1960

Survey of Common Trust Funds, i960
THE CONTINUED LARGE GROWTH in

At the end of 1960 the aggregate market
value of assets held by common trust funds
was $2,813 million. These assets increased
$146 million, or 5 per cent, during the year.
These are some of the findings of the sixth
Annual Survey of Common Trust Funds
conducted by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as part of a program
to provide information about principal uses
of savings. Table 1 shows summary statistics
from all the Surveys.

num-

ber of common trust funds in 1960 reflected
both the creation of new funds and the splitting of some existing funds as banks increased their use of split-funding and of
special funds to help meet the investment requirements of individual fiduciary accounts.
Most of the increase during the year in the
market value of assets held by common trust
funds represented net additions to principal.
Holdings of domestic corporate bonds increased more than all other investments.

GROWTH OF FUNDS
NOTE.—This article was prepared by Charles W.
Bryson of the Board's Division of Bank Operations.
For results of the fifth Annual Survey of Common
Trust Funds, see the BULLETIN for May 1960, pp.
478-84.
As defined by Section 584(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, a "common trust fund" is a fund
maintained by a bank or trust company "(1) exclusively for the collective investment and reinvestment of moneys contributed thereto by the bank in its
capacity as a trustee, executor, administrator, or
guardian; and (2) in conformity with the rules and
regulations, prevailing from time to time, of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pertaining to the collective investment of trust funds by national banks."

Expansion in common trust funds may be
measured both by changes in the number of
funds and by changes in the number and
average size of the participating fiduciary
accounts.
Number. Changes in the number of common trust funds in operation reflect not only
establishment of new funds but also mergers,
splits, and liquidations. During 1960, 48
new funds were established. Four existing
funds were each split into two separate

funds. One fund was liquidated. And in
each of three banks two existing funds were
merged. Mergers, splits, and liquidations
were offsetting, however, so that the net increase in number of funds during the year
was the same as the number of new funds
created. At the end of 1960 there were 421
funds in operation in 44 of the 49 jurisdictions (48 States and the District of Columbia) that permit them.1
Growth in number of funds in 1960 continued at the rapid rate of recent years. This
sharp growth seems to indicate an increasing awareness of the adaptability of these
funds in handling the investments of relatively small fiduciary accounts at lower cost
and with greater diversification in holdings
than would be possible if individual accounts
were invested separately.
Growth in 1960 was sharpest among national banks, as it has been for several years.
The number of such banks operating common trust funds increased by 19 and the
number of funds they administer increased
by 43. At the end of 1960 national banks
were operating 59 per cent of the total number of funds.
Asset holdings of funds in national banks
continued to represent an increasing proportion of the assets of all common trust
funds. At the end of the year this group
held more than one-third of the total. Some
of the growth at national banks during 1960
reflected the conversion to, or merger with,
national banks of four State member banks
operating six common trust funds. At the
end of 1960 the total holdings of these six
funds amounted to $38 million. Despite the
rapid growth in both the number of funds
and their assets at national banks in recent
years, funds operated by State member banks

Fiduciary accounts. The number of trusts
and other fiduciary accounts invested in
common trust funds increased by 8 per cent
to 126,000 during I960, and the average
participation declined from about $23,000
to $22,300. These figures do not make allowances, however, for accounts that may
be invested in more than one fund. Furthermore, they do not indicate the total number
of individuals benefiting from participation
in common trust funds; many participating
trusts have more than a single beneficiary.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

Holdings of all classes of securities in common trust funds increased during 1960. The

527

SURVEY OF COMMON TRUST FUNDS, 1960

largest increase was in holdings of domestic
corporate bonds, particularly public utility
issues. Among U. S. Government securities,
increases in holdings of marketable issues,
largely the attractive medium-term Treasury
notes, were more than sufficient to offset the
continued decline in nonmarketable securities. Common stock holdings rose slightly
during the year, with a substantial increase
in public utility issues more than offsetting a

decline in manufacturing issues. Common
stocks continued to constitute more than half
of the total investments of common trust
funds at the end of 1960.
Gross investment transactions of these
funds, representing the total of acquisitions,
sales, and redemptions, totaled $781 million
in 1960, as shown in Table 3. This was
$149 million less than in the previous 12
months. Transactions activity—the ratio of

The Survey includes all common trust funds operated by banks
and trust companies in the United States and administered under
subsection (c) of Section 17 of the Board's Regulation F. The
reporting date for each fund is the valuation date falling in the fourth
quarter of the calendar year. The reporting period of funds other
than new ones covers 12 months. Reporting dates in 1960 ranged
from October 10 through December 31. For funds that began
operating'during 1960, investments are included in end-of-year
tabulations of holdings and also in tabulations of purchases and
sales; the cash and U. S. Government nonmarketable securities
placed with the new funds by fiduciary accounts are included in
tabulations of net additions to principal.

gross transactions to the aggregate portfolio
—declined from about 35 per cent in 1959
to 28 per cent in 1960.
New participations in common trust funds
totaled $280 million and withdrawals $137
million in 1960. Of the net addition of
$143 million during the year, it is estimated
that 65 per cent was invested in bonds, 28
per cent in common stocks, 5 per cent in real
estate loans, and that the remainder was
added to principal (uninvested) cash.
CHANGES BY TYPE OF FUND 2

All types of common trust funds experienced
net increases in their total holdings in 1960,
as shown in Table 4, but most of the growth
occurred in diversified discretionary and special discretionary types. Growth in special
funds reflected mainly net additions to principal and to a lesser extent a transfer of
assets from diversified funds when the latter
were split into common stock and fixedincome types. The increase in holdings of
diversified funds reflected net additions to
principal. These more than offset the transfers between these funds and special ones,
noted earlier, and the depreciation in the
market value of their holdings of common
stocks.
Although the assets of both special and
diversified funds continued to increase during 1960, banks continued to place greater
reliance on special funds as an operating
medium. The number of these funds increased by 50 during the year, while the
number of diversified funds declined by two.
Since surveys of common trust funds were
started in 1955, growth in special funds has
far outweighed that in diversified funds. Over
this period the number of special funds has
increased by 139, or almost eight times,
2

For descriptions of the different types of funds, see
note 1 to Table 4.




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

while the total number of diversified funds
has increased by ojily 84, or 19 per cent. In
each of the two types the expansion in assets
has been roughly proportionate to the
change in number.
USE OF SPECIAL FUNDS

Many banks rely entirely on special funds,
and they usually operate more than one. In
some instances, however, a bank may operate a special fund—either a common stock
fund or a fixed-income fund—in conjunction
with a diversified fund to give balance to a
participating trust. Of the 157 special funds
in operation at the end of 1960, 77 were
invested only in common stocks and the remaining 80 were invested only in fixedincome securities.
Some special funds have more particular
purposes than those indicated above. Several banks, for example, operate two common stock funds—each having a different
emphasis on investment characteristics of
the equity selections. Five banks operate
funds that are invested solely in tax-exempt
State and municipal bonds, while another
operates a fixed-income fund invested only
in preferred stocks. By operating two or
more special funds, at least one of which is
invested in common stocks and one in fixedincome securities, a trust institution can
adopt a split-funding arrangement for handling the investments of its small bona fide
fiduciary accounts.
Such a split-funding arrangement permits
participation in either or all funds in varying proportion, in accordance with the needs
of the individual fiduciary account. It also
gives the trust institution greater flexibility
in diversifying the investments of participating fiduciary accounts than is possible with
a single fund having a given ratio between
fixed-income investments and common

See Table 3, note 1.
For classification purposes, a discretionary common trust fund
is one in which all of the investments of the fund—both as to individual securities and as to proportions of classes of investments—
are made at the sole discretion of the trustee. Legal common trust
funds differ from State to State depending on the plan and the State
statute under which they operate: In all States except New York
and New Jersey, a legal common trust fund is one in which the plan
limits investments to those authorized by State statute as legal for
funds held in individual fiduciary accounts. In New York and New

4.6

Jersey, funds designated by their plan as legal common trust funds
are specifically restricted by statute. A diversified common trust
fund is one invested in all classes of securities; whereas, a special
common trust fund is one that is restricted by plan or institutional
policy to one type or class of investment, that is, fixed-income investments or common stocks; these funds may be either discretionary
or 2legal.

stocks. The number of banks using the splitfunding arrangement increased from 39 in
1959 to 62 in I960, and the holdings in
these funds increased from $353 million to
$456 million.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION

During the six years covered by the Survey,
the number of common trust funds has increased in all geographic sectors. During
1960 the largest increases in number of new
funds were in Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Minnesota, and Ohio (6, 5, 4, and 4, respectively). Pennsylvania, New York, and
Massachusetts had the largest number of
funds at the end of the year (67, 48, and 25,
respectively), as shown in Table 6. On the
basis of dollar amounts held, these three
States ranked in the same order.
While 54 per cent of the assets and 40
per cent of the number of funds are in the

Boston, New York, and Philadelphia Districts, the rate of increase in assets continues
to be slower in these districts than elsewhere.
The distribution of funds by Federal Reserve
district at the end of 1960 is shown in
Table 7.
Many factors—such as State laws that
limit investment in certain classes of securities, State and local taxes on certain types of
securities, and local investment practices—
tend to affect the geographic distribution of
particular classes of assets. Investments in
common stock represent the largest proportion of all assets, but the proportion varies
widely from one area to another.
Investments in common stocks, for example, range from a low of 44 per cent in
the Cleveland and Atlanta Districts to a high
of 60 per cent in the St. Louis District. The
wider use of legal common trust funds in the
New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Rich-

SURVEY OF COMMON TRUST FUNDS, 1960

mond, and Chicago Districts accounts to
some extent for the smaller proportion of
common stock holdings in these Districts.
Legal funds are restricted as to the proportion of their assets that may be invested in
such stocks.
Common trust funds as a whole have
about one-tenth of their assets in preferred
stocks. For funds in the Philadelphia District the proportion is about one-fifth. Funds
in that District hold more than half of the
preferred stocks held by all common trust

funds. The more extensive investment in
preferred stocks in the Philadelphia District
reflects in large part the fact that in Pennsylvania there is a personal property tax on
senior corporate securities, but not on preferred stocks.
Real estate loans represent less than 2
per cent of all investments of common trust
funds. Local investment practices seem to
account for the fact that in the Kansas City
District these loans represent about oneseventh of the total portfolio.

Quarterly Survey
of Consumer Buying Intentions
in April reported slightly
fewer plans to buy most types of durable
goods than a year earlier but more than in
April 1959, according to the most recent
Quarterly Survey of Consumer Buying Intentions.1 These findings were generally
similar to those of the January Survey,
which had shown improvement from October 1960.
Expressed plans to buy within 6 months
were fewer than in April 1960 for both
new automobiles and household durable
goods. The proportion of families planning to buy used automobiles, however,
was about the same as in April 1960. In
addition, there was little change in the
number of families that expected to buy
houses in the following 12 months.
As in other years, the proportions of

This article presents the findings of the April 1961
Quarterly Survey of Consumer Buying Intentions, conducted for the Board of Governors by the Bureau of
the Census. The Quarterly Survey is conducted under
the supervision of Mona E. Dingle of the Board's
staff and Selma F. Goldsmith of the Bureau of the
Census. The current article was prepared by Theodore G. Flechsig. Articles covering the previous Quarterly Surveys appeared in the Federal Reserve BULLETIN for September and December 1960 and March
1961, A description of the Survey also appeared in
the BULLETIN for September 1960, pp. 977-1003.




buy houses was the first since data on
houses were added to the Survey in January
1960, and was in marked contrast with the
decline in such plans a year earlier.
Consumer reports in April regarding the
level of income compared with a year
earlier were about the same as in January.
In the period from April 1960 to January
1961 the proportion reporting a decline in
income had increased substantially, and the
proportions reporting no change or an increase in income had declined correspondingly. Consumer expectations about future
income prospects in general were similar
to those expressed in January, although the
proportion expecting declines in income
during the next year was slightly smaller.
As in the other Surveys most families anticipated little or no change in income.
Automobiles. In mid-April 3.1 per cent
of the families interviewed reported plans to
buy new automobiles within 6 months, compared with 3.3 per cent in April 1960 and
2.7 per cent in April 1959. Plans expressed
were also slightly less definite than a year
earlier. The difference between the number
of plans reported in April 1960 and the
number for April 1961, however, is on the
margin of statistical significance. In January the proportion of families that had reported plans to buy new automobiles was
the same as a year earlier. As in other recent Surveys, 12-month plans for new automobiles—and for used automobiles also—
moved similarly to 6-month plans and
showed the same year-to-year relationships.

QUARTERLY SURVEY OF CONSUMER BUYING INTENTIONS

Plans to buy used automobiles within 6
months were reported by 4.1 per cent of the
families interviewed in April, about the same
as in the corresponding period of the two
preceding years. Plans to buy used cars as
reported in 1960 and so far in 1961 have
changed less from the level of plans expressed in the corresponding Surveys in
1959 than other types of durable goods.
While I960 plans to buy used cars were
slightly below 1959 levels, the number of
planners undecided between new and used
cars was somewhat larger. This greater
indecision on the part of consumers in
choosing between new and used cars may
have been because of the availability of
new compact models. These planners are
more likely to purchase used cars, but their
choice is strongly subject to relative changes
in the supplies and prices of new and used
cars. As a result, their purchase rates from
one Survey to another are less predictable
than for other planners.
The number of families reporting dissatisfaction with the car currently owned was
about the same in April as a year earlier.
Families who reported having shopped for
cars in the weeks immediately preceding
the recent Survey, however, were less
numerous than a year earlier but more
numerous than in April 1959. A sizable
proportion of the families who had shopped
for a car or were dissatisfied with their current car also planned to buy within 6 months.
Purchase rates for nonplanners among these
families, however, are significantly higher
than for nonplanners who were satisfied with
their car and who had not shopped for a car.
Consumer purchases of new cars in the
first quarter of 1961 were about one-fifth less
than in the same period in 1960, according
to both Survey data and sales data from independent sources. By early January sales




of new cars had fallen from the advanced
autumn rate and were somewhat lower than
a year earlier. In the weeks immediately
following the Survey in mid-January, morePLANS TO BUY

over, unusually severe weather prevailed
over much of the nation, and this was an
important factor in reducing sales substantially further. As a result of improved
weather and other influences, the rate of new
car sales recovered more than seasonally in
March and April.
The number of consumers reporting purchases of used cars in the first 3 months of

534
this year was about the same as in the corresponding quarters of 1959 and 1960. This
is in general agreement with sales data from
other sources, which showed 3-month sales
of used cars only slightly lower than in 1959
and 1960. According to these sources sales
of used cars declined more than seasonally
in late January and in February but in
March recovered to the advanced level of
the preceding two years.
Household durable goods. In April 6-month
plans to buy the three major household items
covered by the Survey—washing machines,
refrigerators, and television sets—continued
below year-earlier levels for the third successive Survey. Plans to buy these major
appliances, however, were much closer to
the level of plans reported a year earlier than
they had been in either January or last October, as the chart shows. A decline in plans
to buy washing machines accounted for most
of the difference in April from a year earlier.
Data on plans to purchase and on actual
purchases of air conditioners, clothes dryers,
dishwashers, and radio and phonographic
equipment are presented for the first time in
the tables at the end of this article. Plans
to buy these four types of household durable
goods were also below the year-earlier level
in April, largely because of a decline in plans
to buy air conditioners. Demand for these
items is less likely to be for replacement purposes and is less likely to come from low income groups than demand for washing machines, refrigerators, and television sets.
Data on buying plans for these two groups
of durable goods, however, have generally
moved together.
Consumer purchases of the household
durable goods covered in the Survey were
down somewhat in the first quarter of 1961
from the first quarter of 1960, with only 8.8
purchases per 100 families reported this




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

year compared with 9.4 a year earlier. Most
of the decline was in purchases of television
sets and washing machines. These items
are purchased most often by families in the
low and middle income groups, the groups
most affected by unemployment during the
recent business decline.
Houses. The proportion of families reporting plans to buy houses in the following
12 months was about the same in April as
a year earlier, 5.1 per cent compared with
5.3 per cent. From January to April, reported plans to buy new and existing houses
increased in the South and West but remained unchanged in the Northeast and
North Central regions. This was in marked
contrast with the declines in such plans in
all regions a year earlier. Six-month plans
to buy houses rose proportionately more
from January to April than 12-month plans,
in part reflecting seasonal influences.
According to the Survey, about the same
proportion of families purchased houses in
the first quarter of this year as in the first
quarter of 1960. House purchases are subject to considerable seasonal variation, as the
Quarterly Surveys for last year indicated.
According to those Surveys house purchases
ranged from a low of 0.8 of 1 per cent of
all families in the first quarter to 1.4 per
cent in each of the next two quarters. In
general, purchases of new and of existing
houses moved together, with consumers reporting about twice as many purchases of
existing houses as new houses. Data on
purchases of houses are subject to somewhat
larger sampling errors than other data from
the Survey because of special problems involved in estimating new house purchases.
Sampling variability. Data from Quarterly
Surveys are based on about 17,000 interviews and, as is true of all sample surveys,
may differ because of sampling variability

from data that would be obtained if a complete census were taken. The reliability of
estimates of percentages obtained from the
Survey depends on the size of the estimated
percentage and the size of the total sample
—or portion of the sample—on which the
percentage is based.
Sampling errors are shown in the table
for selected percentages and sample sizes.
The sample sizes are expressed in terms of
the estimated number of households represented by the Survey (or portion of the
Survey) rather than in terms of the actual
number of households sampled. The chances
are 68 in 100, or about 2 in 3, that an estimate from the Survey would differ from a

NOTE.—Data for 1959-60 have been revised to make them comparable with 1961 data by distributing nonresponse cases proportionately among groups for which responses were obtained. In the




July

earlier Surveys, nonresponse cases for the data included in this table
(between 2 and 3 per cent of all families) were classified in the "doesn't
know" group.
Details may not add to totals because of rounding.

Classification System for
Savings and Other Time Deposits
THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM has

pro-

posed a classification of savings and other
time deposits to guide commercial banks
adopting automated accounting systems or
considering other changes in their deposit
accounting procedures. This classification,
shown in the next column, complements the
one for demand deposits described in the
Federal Reserve BULLETIN for July 1960,
pages 735-38.

PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION OF SAVINGS AND
OTHER TIME DEPOSITS
I. Savings deposits1
A. Domestic nonprofit organizations
B. Other savings deposits
II. Deposits accumulated for payment of personal
loans
III. Christmas savings and similar accounts
IV. Negotiable time certificates of deposit
A. Issued to domestic holders
B. Issued to foreign holders1
V. Other time deposits of individuals, partnerships,
and corporations in the United States
A. Nonprofit organizations
B. Individuals and noncorporate nonfinancial
business
C. Corporate nonfinancial business
D. Financial business
1. Trust departments of banks
a. Own bank
b. Other commercial banks
2. Other financial business

PURPOSE

The new classification is designed to provide
not only the information about deposits that
appears now on reports to bank supervisory
or other Government agencies, but also some
other types of information that would be
useful for analytical purposes. It is intended to help banks that are considering
automation by indicating what types of information their bookkeeping systems should
be able to produce. It should be emphasized that the proposed classification does
not involve any request for additional data
from banks.
While automation of time deposits has a
relatively low priority at most banks, some
banks have already adopted automatic or
semiautomatic accounting systems for such
deposits, particularly savings deposits.
Many others, having such installations under
consideration or in the planning stages, have
requested Federal Reserve guidance as to
types of information about savings and time
deposits that new accounting systems should
be able to provide.




VI. Domestic government
A. U. S. Government
1. Postal Savings System
2. Other U. S. Government deposits
B. States and political subdivisions
VII. Banks in the United States
A. Commercial banks (excluding trust departments of commercial banks)
B. Mutual savings banks
VIII. Other time deposits of foreign holders1
A. Foreign governments and official institutions,
central banks, and international institutions
B. Banks in foreign countries (including balances
of foreign branches of other American banks)
C. Other foreign holders
1
All banks or banking offices having liabilities to foreigners on
their own account or for the account of others averaging $500,000 or
more over any 6-month period are required to report to the Treasury
on these liabilities by country. The Treasury Form B-l provides a
2-digit country code, which could be used to identify each of the
approximately 60 countries for which a separate figure must be submitted. Banks reporting on this form also need to provide a 3-way
breakdown of foreign-held sayings deposits (item I) and negotiable
time certificates issued tc foreigners (item IV-B) identical with that
shown for foreign holdings of other time deposits (item VIII).
NOTE.—Banks desiring to segregate nonnegotiable time certificates
of deposit from time deposits, open account, may wish to develop
additional codes within this classification structure or to use an
overpunch if a punch card tabulating system is used.
Banks desiring to incorporate a maturity classification, such as
that established in Regulation Q for determining interest rate ceilings,
may wish to develop additional codes within this classification
structure. A classification based on time to maturity might be of
special interest for internal management purposes.

539

540
In preparing the new classification, a System technical committee obtained the advice
of representative member banks and interested Government agencies. The Banking Committee of the Budget Bureau's Advisory Council on Federal Reports reviewed
an earlier version of the classification. The
final version reflects the many helpful suggestions obtained.
SUPPLEMENTAL CATEGORIES OF DEPOSITS

To meet important current or potential needs
for data, the proposed classification includes
the supplemental categories listed below.
These are in addition to the various categories of savings and time deposits used in
regular reports to (1) bank supervisory
authorities and (2) the Treasury, in reports
of liabilities to foreigners on Treasury Form
B-l.
1. Domestic nonprofit
organizations
(items I-A and V-A in list). A segregation
of both savings and time deposits of domestic nonprofit organizations appears needed
in view of the growing financial importance
of these organizations and the presumed
volatility of their deposits, particularly in response to changes in relative yields among
various outlets for short-term funds. In
general, nonprofit organizations are readily
identifiable from the account name, and
segregating their accounts should present no
appreciable difficulties for banks.
2. Christmas savings and similar accounts (item III). This category would
segregate an important segment of savings
that is of a purely temporary nature. Segregating these accounts would generally be
compatible with bank accounting practices,




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

which usually involve a separate ledger for
these accounts.
3. Negotiable time certificates (item IV).
In late February 1961 a number of large
banks in New York City and in other parts
of the country began to compete for corporate funds by issuing negotiable time
certificates. Since then they have issued an
appreciable volume of these certificates.
In view of their negotiable form, and of the
possibility that an important secondary market for them may develop, the proposed
classification provides only two subclassifications. These are by type of holder to whom
the certificates are issued initially, that is,
foreign and domestic.
4. Financial and nonfinancial business
(items V-B through V-D). The subclassifications of other domestically held time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations are designed to provide types of
information needed for the Board's quarterly series showing principal financial
flows in the United States. The proposed
categories would provide less detail than it
would be desirable to have. But categories
have been held to a minimum in view of the
difficulty of identifying and classifying certain types of accounts.
The classification system provides no
suggested code numbers, because each
bank will wish to incorporate codes compatible with its established system. A minimal 2-digit system from 01 to 20 would
encompass all the recommended categories.
Such a code structure could be expanded
over a wider numeric range, including more
digits, to provide for additional information
such as maturity breakdown, type of business, or location of holder.

RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR

time to consider policy aspects of underlying and
developing economic tendencies.
The United States sent a delegation of unusual
strength to the April meeting in order to make
evident the importance that it attaches to increased international economic consultation and
cooperation and to help lay the foundations for
this consultation and cooperation under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which is scheduled to replace the
OEEC within a few months. While international
economic consultation and cooperation have constituted an important phase of the work of the
OEEC, they will receive even greater emphasis in
the functioning of the new organization in which
both the United States and Canada will be full
members. Both have already ratified the OECD
Convention.
As a result of the meeting, two working groups
were established to study and submit findings and
recommendations to the Economic Policy Committee, one on problems of economic growth, and
the other on the subject of monetary, fiscal, and
other policies for fostering international payments
equilibrium. All member countries will be represented on the first group; the membership of the
second is limited to nine countries, including the
United States and Canada. It was announced that
Mr. E. Van Lennep, Treasurer General of the
Netherlands, would chair the second group; other
members of this group will include economic
policy officials of the countries represented on it,
especially officials associated with financial policy.

Mr. Augustus C. Long, who had served as a Class
B director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York since May 10, 1957, resigned effective
April 6, 1961. Mr. Long is Chairman of the
Board of Texaco Inc., New York, New York.
ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis on
April 18 announced the election of Alexander
Warden as a Class B director of the Bank to
serve for the remainder of a term expiring December 31, 1962. Mr. Warden is Publisher of the
Great Falls Tribune-Leader, Great Falls, Montana.
As a director of the Minneapolis Bank he succeeds
Mr. J. E. Corette, President and General Manager
of The Montana Power Company, Butte, Montana,
who recently resigned.
PREPARATORY MEETING FOR ECONOMIC POLICY
COORDINATION IN OECD

The Economic Policy Committee of the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC)
met at the Chateau de la Muette in Paris, France,
on April 18-19. The meeting was attended by a
U. S. delegation headed by Walter W. Heller,
Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
Other delegation officers included Robert V. Roosa,
Under Secretary of the Treasury for Monetary
Affairs; William McC. Martin, Jr., Chairman of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System; Edwin M. Martin, Assistant Secretary of
State for Economic Affairs; and John W. Tuthill,
U. S. Ambassador to the OEEC.
The OEEC, an organization of European nations formed in 1948 to help administer U. S. aid
to Europe under the Marshall Plan, developed
into a focal point for European consultation and
cooperation in economic affairs. The United States
and Canada are associate members of the Organization. The Economic Policy Committee, composed of officials from the policy-making levels
of governments and central banks of member and
associate member countries, meets from time to




NEW TABLES

This issue of the BULLETIN includes three new
tables of statistics on the U.S. Government securities market. The tables, which appear on page
574, show volume of dealer transactions, dealer
positions, and financing of all U.S. Government
securities dealers.
In order to incorporate the new tables it has
been necessary to rearrange some of the materials
on business finance, security issues, and Federal
finance (pages 570-78). The table on "Selected

at the end of the section on domestic statistics and
will be published only when new quarterly figures
are available (see page 617 of this issue). The
table on "Principal Assets and Liabilities of Federal Business-Type Activities" will be discontinued.
In recent years this table has been published when
new quarterly figures became available.

National Summary of Business Conditions
Released for publication May 12

Industrial production, employment, and income
increased in April.
Prices of sensitive
materials rose further. Construction activity was
somewhat higher but retail sales declined following a marked rise in March. Bank credit and
the money supply expanded in April.

Steel mill operations rose about 15 per cent
and in early May showed a further marked gain.
Increases were general in April for other durable
goods materials and nondurable supplies.
CONSTRUCTION

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Industrial production increased in April to 105
per cent of the 1957 average, and was 2.5 per cent
above March and 4 per cent below mid-1960.
Increases were widespread for output of final
products and industrial materials.
The expansion in consumer goods reflected
further increases in furniture, television and radio
sets, and some other home goods. Auto assemblies
recovered 30 per cent from the reduced March
rate and current production schedules indicate a
further contra-seasonal rise in May. Output of
consumer staples also increased in April and apparel was maintained at about the improved
March level. Following a moderate decline in
activity in business equipment industries last autumn and winter, commercial and industrial machinery increased in April, and trucks and farm
equipment continued to expand.

New construction activity increased 2 per cent
in April and was at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $55.8 billion. Both public and private
construction rose. Private residential building
increased about 4 per cent, reflecting in part the
8 per cent rise in private housing starts in March.
EMPLOYMENT

Employment in nonfarm establishments turned
up in April, with most manufacturing industries
participating in the rise. Construction employment again rose substantially and there were moderate gains in other nonmanufacturing industries
except for transportation and public utilities. The
average factory workweek rose slightly further.
Hourly and weekly earnings increased somewhat
and were 2 per cent higher than a year ago. The
seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 6.8 per
cent has been virtually unchanged since December.
DISTRIBUTION

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

=

Retail sales, which had risen appreciably in
March on the basis of revised figures, was off in
April. Sales at department stores increased for
the third consecutive month, while the volume at
most other outlets declined. New auto sales
changed little from the increased March rate,
which was about a tenth above the low earlier this
year. Dealer stocks of new autos declined contraseasonally further in April and were a tenth below
a year ago.
COMMODITY PRICES

Federal Reserve indexes, seasonally adjusted. Monthly figures, latest shown are for April.




Prices of sensitive industrial materials rose further from mid-April to mid-May. Copper and
brass mill products were raised, and rubber, tin
and some other commodities advanced further.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • MAY 1961

After a rise of nearly 40 per cent from November
through March, steel scrap declined somewhat.
Prices of livestock and meats decreased about 5
per cent from February to early May as marketings increased appreciably.

serves were supplied through currency inflow and
absorbed through Federal Reserve sales of Government securities. Gold stock showed little further change. Required reserves increased somewhat.

BANK CREDIT AND RESERVES

SECURITY MARKETS

Total commercial bank credit increased about
$1.5 billion in April, with two-thirds of the rise
reflecting increased holdings of Government securities. Loans also increased as a sharp rise in
security loans and moderate increases in most
other types of loans were offset partly by reduced
business loans. The average money supply, seasonally adjusted, increased $500 million further
in April.
Member bank borrowings from the Federal
Reserve averaged about $50 million and excess
reserves $600 million over the four weeks ending
May 10. Between mid-April and mid-May, re-

Corporate security financing was in large volume in April and early May and yields on corporate bonds increased somewhat. State and
local government financing, however, was smaller
than earlier this year and yields on their bonds
declined. Yields on all maturities of U. S. Government securities also declined from mid-April
to mid-May. Medium- and long-term yields fell
to their lowest levels in more than two years;
Treasury bill rates dropped to about their lows of
late January.
Common stock prices in early May recovered
to about the mid-April peak.

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

is not included in total Treasury currency outstanding.

United States notes and Treasury notes of 1890—$156,039,431 in gold

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

in seasonal factor for demand deposits adjusted for Mar. 30, 1960,
shown on p. 135, note 3, of that BULLETIN, has been revised from —0.9
to - 0 . 5 . The new factor is 97.9.
NOTE.—For description of statement and back figures, see the BULLETIN
for January 1948, pp. 24-32. The composition of a few items differs
slightly from the description in the BULLETIN article; stock of Federal
Reserve Banks held by member banks is included in other securities and
in capital and miscellaneous accounts, net, and balances of the Postal
Savings System and the Exchange Stabilization Fund with the U. S.
Treasury are netted against capital and miscellaneous accounts, net,
instead of against U. S. Govt. deposits and Treasury cash. Total deposits
and currency shown in the monthly Chart Book excludes foreign bank deposits, net, and Treasury cash. Except on call dates, figures are rounded
to nearest $100 million and may not add to the totals.

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

System; these banks (two beginning June 1960) are included in member
banks but are not included in all insured or total banks. 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.
For other notes see opposite page.

2 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.
3 Breakdowns of loan, investment, and deposit classifications are not
available prior to 1947; summary figures for earlier dates appear in the
preceding table.

* 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.

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 change
beginning with July 1959; revised data for the new reporting series (but
not for the breakdown of loans by purpose) are available back through
July 1958 and have been incorporated.

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

Averages are based on number of trading days in the week.
NOTE.—Details may not add to totals because of rounding.

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

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

» Preliminary.
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 vear-end adjustments are more complete.
SOURCE.—Institute of Life Insurance; end-of-year figures are from
Life Insurance Fact Book, and end-of-month figures from the Tally of
Life Insurance Statistics.

1 Extensions and repayments include current data for Alaska and
Hawaii beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The
differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the
effect of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
2 Obtained by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in note 1.
NOTE.—Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-48 of

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

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

the BULLETIN for October 1956; for 1955-59, in the BULLETINS for

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

*> 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
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

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
the United States.
7 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 April 1961.

ratios vary substantially from the average of individual bank ratios,
which are shown on pp. 613-15 of this BULLETIN, in which each bank's
figures—regardless of size or amount—are weighted equally and in general
have an equally important influence on the result. In the ratios based

on aggregates presented here, the experience of those banks in each group
whose figures are largest have a much greater influence than that of the
many banks with smaller figures. (For example, the 110 largest member
banks have total earnings which, combined, are larger than those of all
the other member banks, numbering about 6,100.) Ratios based on
aggregates show combined results for the banking system as a whole,
and, broadly speaking, are the more significant for purposes of general
analyses of credit and monetary problems, while averages of individual
ratios are useful primarily to those interested in studying the financial
results of operations of individual banks.

plus losses charged against valuation reserves over (b) actual recoveries
and profits credited to net profits plus recoveries credited to valuation
reserves; net recoveries and profits is the reverse. Transfers to and from
reserves are excluded.
2
Banks with no time deposits, or no trust department earnings, as the
case may be, were excluded in computing this average.
3
No ratios are shown for groups of less than three banks.
4
The ratios for 66 member banks in operation at the end of 1960 were
excluded from the compilations because of unavailability of data covering
the complete year's operations, certain accounting adjustments, lack of
comparability, etc.
NOTE.—These ratios, being arithmetic averages of the operating ratios
of individual member banks, differ in many cases from corresponding
ratios computed from aggregate dollar amounts shown on pp. 609-12
of this BULLETIN. Such differences result from the fact that each bank's

figures have an equal weight in calculation of the averages whereas the
figures of the many small and medium-sized banks have but little influence
on the aggregate dollar amounts. Averages of individual ratios are
useful primarily to those interested in studying the financial results of
operations of individual banks, while ratios based on aggregates show
combined results for the banking system as a whole and, broadly speaking,
are the more significant for purposes of general analyses of credit and
monetary problems.
Figures of earnings, expenses, etc., used in the calculations were taken
from the annual earnings and dividends reports for 1960. Balancesheet figures used in the compilations were obtained by averaging the
amounts shown in each bank's official condition reports submitted for
Dec. 31, 1959, June 15, and Oct. 3, 1960. Savings deposits are included
in the time deposit figures used in these tables. Banks with no time
deposits (170 in number) are included with the banks having ratios of
time to total deposits of less than 25 per cent.

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

figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by changes in Federal
Reserve membership, insurance status, and the reserve classifications of
cities
and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
2
Beginning with June 30, 1942, excludes reciprocal balances, which on
Dec. 31, 1942, aggregated $513 million at all member banks and $525
million
at all insured commercial banks.
3
Includes other assets and liabilities not shown separately.
4 Beginning with Dec. 31, 1947, the all-bank series was revised as announced in November 1947 by the Federal bank supervisory agencies.
At that time a net of 115 noninsured nonmember commercial banks
with total loans and investments of about $110 million was added, and
8 banks with total loans and investments of $34 million were transferred
from
noninsured mutual savings to nonmember commercial banks.
5
Less than $5 million. Because estimated data are rounded to the
nearest $10 million no amount is shown except on call dates.
NOTE.—For revisions in series prior to June 30, 1947, see the BULLETIN
for July 1947, pp. 870-71.

Tables on the following pages include the principal available statistics of current significance
relating to international capital transactions of

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

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.
