F in an cial
D e v e lo p m e n ts in th e
First Q u a rter
of 1973
This report, which was sen t to the Joint E conom ic C om m ittee o f
the U .S. C o n g ress, highlights the im portant developm en ts in finan­
cial m arkets during the w inter and early spring.

A monetary policy of restraint was pursued during the first quarter
in an effort to help curb inflationary pressures. With the Federal
Reserve holding back on the provision of nonborrowed reserves
to the banking system, with growth in both the narrowly and the
broadly defined money stock slowing, and with short-term credit
demands continuing strong, short-term interest rates rose markedly
over the quarter, and the rise continued in April. Demands on
longer-term credit markets were relatively moderate, and long-term
interest rates showed a considerably less marked rise. The Federal
Reserve discount rate was adjusted upward in several stages from
AV2 per cent early in the year to 6 per cent in early May.
There was a large increase in bank credit during the first quarter.
This in part reflected a shift of credit demands to banks from the
commercial paper market as the prime loan rate was low relative
to market rates. In addition, there were credit demands on banks—
particularly from foreign commercial banks— in connection with
the large outflow of dollars from the United States. It is difficult
to identify completely the means of financing the dollar outflow.
Apart from bank loans, much of the outflow was probably financed
by liquidation of dollar securities and to a minor extent by reduction
of cash balances. These funds came back to the United States
mainly in the form of purchases of U .S. Treasury securities by
foreign official accounts. Thus, the international currency crisis was
associated with considerable churning in domestic money markets,
some expansion in bank credit, and transitory effects on the struc­
ture of interest rates; impacts on the general level of interest rates
and the money stock appear to have been minor.

MONETARY AGGREGATES




Nonborrowed reserves declined at about a 7 per cent annual rate
in the first quarter, following a period of slow growth in the second
half of last year. As bank credit demands continued strong, banks
sought to acquire reserves in the Federal funds market. The Federal
funds rate— the rate banks pay for reserve funds borrowed overnight
from other banks— rose from an average of 5.33 per cent in
December to 7.09 per cent in March and rose further in the course
of April. With market rates rising, banks also increased their
borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks, though at a higher cost
as the discount rate was adjusted upward.

The increased indebtedness to the Federal Reserve and the rising
interest rates that had to be paid on day-to-day money in the Federal
funds market placed bank reserve positions under increasing pres­
sure as the quarter progressed. This pressure was associated with
reduced bank participation in securities markets, some tightening
of lending terms, particularly to large business borrowers, and a
reduced rate of expansion in money stock aggregates.
The narrowly defined money stock, M u slowed to a 1.7 per
cent annual rate of growth in the first quarter of 1973, tending
thereby to offset the relatively rapid 8.6 per cent growth rate in
the fourth quarter of 1972. For the 6 months together, M x increased
at a 5.2 per cent annual rate. In the first quarter, demands for




FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, Q1 1973

money may have been reduced by the cumulative impact of rising
interest rates and possibly by growing concern over inflation leading
to at least some temporary substitution of goods for cash.
In addition, several special factors may have had an influence
on growth of M x in the first quarter. In January, for example, there
was some indication that demand deposits were reduced as State
and local governments shifted revenue-sharing funds, received in
December, out of demand balances into time deposits. A lso, in
March the unusually light volume of business borrowing over the
midmonth tax period suggests that corporations relied more heavily
than usual on demand deposits as a source of funds for their tax
payments. And finally, in the midst of the international disturb­
ances, as noted earlier, there could have been some minor m ove­
ment of funds abroad directly out of demand deposits in February
and early March.

A/2 is M x plus com m ercial bank tim e and savings deposits adjusted other than large

M 3 is M 2 plus deposits at mutual savings banks and savings capital at savings and loan

The broader measures of the money stock, M2 and M3, also
slowed significantly from the strong rates of growth maintained
in 1972— expanding in the first quarter of 1973 at annual rates
of 5.7 per cent and 8.6 per cent, respectively. These slowdowns
reflected not only the tapering off of growth in M x but also,
beginning in February, a further reduction in inflows of consumertype time and savings deposits at both commercial banks and
nonbank thrift institutions. Consumer-type time deposits, with their
lower offering yields, became considerably less attractive to inves­
tors later in the quarter as interest rates on competing market assets
rose considerably.

*Data for the money stock and other monetary aggregates have recently been revised
to reflect changes in seasonal adjustment factors, corrections to the latest benchmark levels
available for nonmember banks, and to adjust for discontinuity associated with the November
9 implementation of changes in Regulation J. A complete description of these revisions

N o t e . — Changes are calculated from the average amounts outstanding in the last month

There was, however, a sharp increase in outstanding large
negotiable time certificates of deposit issued by banks, which offset
the slowing in demand deposits and consumer-type time deposits.
This led to rapid expansion in the adjusted bank credit proxy, which
grew at an annual rate of about 15 per cent in the first quarter,
somewhat higher than in 1972. Much of this increase in bank credit
reflected shifts in credit flows resulting from the relatively low prime
loan rate and from borrowing to finance fund flows abroad.
As banks aggressively bid for funds to meet these shifting credit
demands, net sales of C D ’s increased by a record $11.8 billion
in the first quarter, and offering rates on these instruments rose
by more than 1Vi percentage points. Moreover, since by February
most banks were already offering the maximum rate allowed under
Regulation Q on C D ’s with maturity in excess of 90 days, an
increasing proportion of the C D ’s sold during the first quarter was
in shorter-term issues on which regulatory ceilings had been sus­
pended in 1970. Offering rates on these latter issues rose as high
as 1 X
A per cent at some of the larger New York City banks in
April before declining slightly in mid-April.

321

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, Q1 1973

Accompanying this sharp expansion in bank credit demands, total
reserves of banks rose by almost a 9 per cent annual rate in the
first quarter and reserves to support private nonbank deposits
(RPD’s) at about a IOV2 per cent rate. Much of the increase in
RPD’s reflected reserves that were absorbed by the unusually large
rise in large negotiable C D ’s and hence were not available to
support expansion in M x and M2.

BANK USES OF FUNDS




Bank credit transactions in the first quarter were dominated by a
sharp expansion in business loans. At the same time real estate
and consumer loans continued to rise at rates close to their strong
1972 pace, so that total loans expanded at a particularly rapid rate
in the first quarter. Consequently, even though the expansion in
loans was offset in part by a reduction in bank holdings of U .S.
Government securities, total loans and investments expanded at
close to a 20 per cent rate in the first quarter, nearly V/2 times
the 1972 growth rate.

The first-quarter surge in business borrowing from commercial
banks was basically related to the continuing cyclical needs of
corporations for working capital and inventory investment. In
addition, however, bank credit demands were temporarily bolstered
by unusual circumstances leading to changes in the structural
composition of financial portfolios during the quarter. For example,
as commercial paper rates rose above the prime rate, corporations
found it more advantageous to finance short-term credit needs
through banks. Thus, as shown in Table 2, the increase in business
short-term credit demands in the first quarter was significantly lower
when measured by the sum of business loans from banks plus
borrowing in commercial paper markets, due to the substitution

of one type of financing for the other. However, short-term business
credit demands, when measured by the two types of lending
together, were strong by historical standards, as economic activity
expanded sharply.
Although other interest rates were rising rapidly in the first
quarter, commercial banks-limited increases in the prime rate in
response to requests by the Committee on Interest and Dividends.
In April, the CID issued guidelines to permit closer alignment
between the prime rate that banks charge their large corporate
customers and rates on other money market instruments. Under
the two-tier system proposed by the CID, however, rates charged
small businesses are to remain reasonably stable. The prime rate
charged large business borrowers rose, subsequent to this CID
action, in two steps of lA of a percentage point each to 7 per
cent in early May.
In addition to the increase in business borrowing in the first
quarter, total bank lending was buoyed by a sharp expansion in
loans to foreign commercial banks. Apparently, these banks
responded to international developments by drawing on lines of
credit with U .S. banks in order to take advantage of both changing
exchange rates and the relative interest rate differentials in the U .S.
and the Euro-dollar market. During February and March loans
to foreign banks rose by about $2 billion, but by late March and
early April some repayment of these loans had begun to develop.
The high level of consumer credit demands in the first quarter— a
continuation of the 1972 trend— was evidenced not only in the
strong growth rate in direct bank loans to consumers, but also by
a step-up in bank loans to finance companies. Similarly, borrowing
at banks by other nonbank financial institutions— including mort­
gage bankers and real estate investment trusts— was unusually
large.
Although banks accommodated the growth in credit demands
in the first quarter primarily through sales of negotiable C D ’s, they
also acquired funds by reducing their holdings of U .S. Government
securities— especially Treasury bills. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, Treasury securities declined more than $1.4 billion during
the first quarter. Furthermore, after increasing by less than $1 billion
in January, bank holdings of securities other than Treasury issues
showed almost no growth during February and March.
The sharp over-all rise in bank credit demands over the last year,
along with continual tightening of reserve positions, has caused
banks to alter somewhat their lending practices. The results of a
survey taken in January indicate that there has been a significant
tightening of nonprice terms and conditions of bank lending since
November of last year: compensating balance requirements are
higher, maturity policies on loans are tighter, and standards of

32 3

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, Q1 1973

creditworthiness are more strict. Moreover, many banks in the
survey indicated a growing reluctance to make term loans, which
in prior months had represented an increasingly significant propor­
tion of new loans granted by banks.

On balance, the rate of growth of deposit inflows to nonbank thrift
institutions during the first quarter of 1973 remained about the same
as in the previous quarter. While the over-all rate of expansion
remained historically strong, the quarterly performance was bol­
stered by the sharp increase in deposits during January; as the
quarter progressed deposit growth slowed, especially at mutual
savings banks. Contributing to this slower rate of growth in deposits
of nonbank depositary intermediaries were the increasing relative
attractiveness of yields on competitive market instruments and a
decline in the rate of personal saving, which apparently in part
reflected the unusual strength in consumer demand, especially for
durable goods. To some extent, savings balances may have been
drawn down in the first quarter in anticipation of larger refund
checks to be paid by the Treasury on 1972 personal income tax
returns.
Mortgage debt outstanding increased at a seasonally adjusted
quarterly rate of about $20 billion in the first quarter of 1973.
Accumulation of both nonresidential and residential mortgage debt
reached new highs, but the increase for the residential sector was
particularly striking, at a quarterly rate of approximately $15
billion, compared with $11.3 billion a year earlier.

Savings and loan associations accounted for about half the
increase in net mortgage debt during the first quarter. However,
the net contributions from commercial banks and mutual savings
banks were also exceptionally large for this time of year; and net
activity by the Federal National Mortgage Association and related
agencies operating in the secondary market expanded further on
the average.

FUNDS RAISED IN
SECURITIES MARKETS




With the exception of the mortgage sector, credit demands on the
long-term market moderated appreciably during the first quarter
of 1973. Corporate sales of long-term securities declined by more
than 20 per cent, primarily as a consequence of the large volume
of internally generated funds and the strong liquidity position of
many firms. Because of the virtual absence of industrial borrowers
from the long-term market and the continued tendency for utilities
to do much of their financing in the equity market, public bond
sales dropped 40 per cent below the October-December total.
Takedowns of privately placed bonds were also down substantially
from the record volume of the fourth quarter. Investment funds
appear to have been readily available, but prospective borrowers
were relatively few.
New gross stock issues in the first quarter of 1973 rose by about
18 per cent. Much of this volume represented preferred stock
offerings by public utilities, and the total included the largest such
offering on record— a $500 million issue.

Long-term debt offerings by State and local governments de­
clined a little in the first quarter, with most of the decline occurring
in sales of general obligation bonds. State and local governments
had received $5.1 billion in revenue-sharing payments over the
period from early December through the end of March, and rising
tax revenues resulted in relatively comfortable fiscal positions for
local governments in the aggregate, but these developments have
not yet had a marked effect on long-term borrowing. However,
State and local governments did retire about $1.5 billion of short­
term securities, which are not shown in Table 4, in the first quarter.
Federal expenditures continued to exceed receipts during the first
quarter, but the $9.5 billion deficit was $1 billion less than that
registered either in the preceding quarter or in the comparable
period a year earlier. Net cash borrowing by the Treasury amounted
to $8.4 billion, more than twice as much as in the same quarter

of 1972. However, $7.7 billion of this represented sales of special
issues to foreign central banks, in connection with the international
exchange market difficulties in the first quarter. Because of the
large first-quarter borrowing and with tax receipts also strong, the
Treasury cash balance at the end of March was almost $13 billion,
or $2 billion higher than at the end of December.
Net borrowings by Federally sponsored credit agencies rose
substantially in the first quarter, reflecting large issues by the
Federal land banks, Federal intermediate credit banks, and the
banks for cooperatives.

INTEREST RATES




In response to demands for short-term credit and the pressure of
loan demands on the commercial banking system that resulted in
unusually strong sales of C D ’s and some liquidation of Government
securities, short-term interest rates advanced sharply over the first
quarter of the year, bringing money market rates back to the levels
of late 1970. Treasury bill rates rose by 1 percentage point, and
the Federal funds rate jumped almost 2 points. Yields on commer­
cial paper were 140 basis points higher in March than they had
been in December, while the prime rate had advanced by a much
smaller amount. Reflecting these advances in other money market
rates, the Federal Reserve discount rate was raised in two steps
from AVi to 5 l/z per cent, and then in two steps to 6 per cent
early in May.
Given the rapid rise in short-term rates, the rise in long-term
security yields was comparatively moderate. Yields on Treasury
bonds showed little change, and the lack of new issues in the

of alm ost 1 percentage point in the yield on long-term Treasury
bonds, shown in Chart 3, reflects a discontinuity in the calculation
of the series resulting from the rare issuance of a 20-year bond
in January. Tax-exem pt yields rose by only lA of a percentage
point. Although volum e remained high, the supply of funds to the
market remained ample. Since a high proportion of the new issues
were revenue bonds or offerings of units with lower ratings— types
of municipal bonds that generally carry higher yields— tax-exem pt
securities were particularly attractive to fire and casualty com panies.
M ortgage rates edged up only slightly during the quarter.

Study Summary
OBTAINING THE YIELD ON A STANDARD BOND FROM
A SAMPLE OF BONDS WITH HETEROGENEOUS CHARACTERISTICS
James L. Kichline, P. M ichael Laub, and Guy V. G. Stevens — Staff , Board of Governors
Presented in earlier form at the Econometric Society meetings in December 1971; revised in early 1973

This study describes a model and associated
empirical results that are used to calculate a
weekly index of yields on newly issued cor­
porate bonds. The index provides a sensitive
measure of interest rates on corporate bonds and
aids in analyzing current market developments.
It is also expected that the yield series will
provide, in many instances, a preferred substi­
tute for the corporate yield series on seasoned
bonds that are now widely used in research
efforts. The index is published in the Federal
Reserve B u l l e t i n .
There are relatively few new offerings of
corporate bonds in a given week; on occasion
there may be none. Moreover the small number
of observations are for bonds with substantially
heterogeneous characteristics. Newly issued
bonds in any week may be from any industry
group and may have different default risks, call
options, call schedules, maturities, and so forth.




Furthermore, the market valuation of some of
these characteristics varies over time, in partic­
ular for the call option and the default risk. In
order to track accurately the level and changes
in a “ pure” yield on a newly issued corporate
bond over time, it is necessary to measure the
yield on a bond with invariant characteristics— a
standard bond. The standard bond in this paper
is defined as a new straight-debt, long-term (20
years or longer) issue by a utility, rated Aaa
both by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and
by Standard and Poor’s, Inc., that carries 5-year
call protection and is underwritten by a process
of competitive bidding. These characteristics
were found to be empirically significant in de­
termining yield differentials among various cor­
porate new issues.
A nonlinear regression model was developed
to adjust the observed yields and to compute
the implied yield on the standard bond. Call327

protection adjustments are calculated by using
theoretical models developed by Gordon Pye
and presented in articles published in the Jour­
nal of Finance. The rating spreads among dif­
ferent categories of corporate issues are assumed
to be a linear function of the spread between
the yield on the standard bond and the yield
on a long-term Government bond that is as­
sumed to have no default risk. For the model
that was finally selected, the slope coefficients
in this function are positive and significantly
different from zero. Thus, the rating spreads
among different categories of corporate bonds

328




are tracked by taking advantage of the fact that
the spreads between a given rating category for
companies and a long-term Government bond
tend to move together.
The results indicate that bonds that are un­
derwritten by competitive bidding in general
yield less than those underwritten by negotia­
tion. The study discusses several reasons for this
phenomenon, as well as reasons why smaller
and larger issues might yield more than those
of intermediate sizes. However, the empirical
results did not indicate that size of issue was
an important variable.

Member Bank Income, 1972
Net income of member banks continued to in­
crease in 1972, but the rate of growth was
slower than in 1971 and was well below the
rates in 1969 and 1970. The increase repre­
sented a substantial rise in after-tax profits from
operations but a smaller net gain on securities
transactions than in 1971.
Member banks were able to add significantly
to their earning assets in 1972. However, the
over-all rate of return on such assets and the
average cost of funds to banks were less than
in the previous year. Both operating earnings
and operating expenses increased substantially,
with the rate of increase being slightly greater
for expenses. Nevertheless, net income reached
a record level.

SUMMARY
Operating income at member banks rose con­
siderably more in 1972 than in 1971, reflecting
increases in revenues on both loans and invest­
ments. Although short-term market interest
rates rose appreciably over the year and long­
term rates changed little on balance, average
yields on bank portfolios were somewhat lower
than in the previous year. These declines were
more than offset by increases in holdings of both
loans and investments. Outstanding loans rose
considerably in nearly all major loan categories
in response to the rapid upsurge in economic
activity. With deposit inflows also remaining
rapid, banks were able to meet expanding loan
demands and at the same time to add to their
holdings of investments.
Operating expenses of member banks, while
rising only slightly faster than operating income
in 1972, increased almost twice as fast as in
the previous year. Interest paid on time and
savings deposits— the largest single expense for

tics.




banks— rose at a somewhat less rapid pace than
in 1971, as inflows of these deposits moderated
somewhat. Salaries and wages also rose less
than in 1971. However, the rise in interest costs
associated with the issuance of capital notes and
debentures accelerated in 1972, and interest
costs on Federal funds purchased and securities
sold under repurchase agreements rose sharply
following a marked decline in 1971. Provision
for loan losses increased, but actual net loan
losses were much less in 1972 than in 1971.
And with total loans up substantially, the ratio
of net loan losses to average loans outstanding
decreased sharply.
Member banks in 1972 again recorded net
gains on securities transactions. Also, extraor­
dinary charges or credits after taxes added
slightly to income. Although operating profits
(income before income taxes and securities
gains or losses) expanded appreciably, applica­
ble income taxes showed only a negligible rise.
As a result, net income of member banks rose
to a new high of $4,400 million, an increase
of 6.9 per cent over the 1971 level. This rate
of increase, however, was smaller than that of
the previous year and also less than the rate of
growth in net worth (equity capital plus re­
serves). Thus, the ratio of net income to equity
capital plus reserves declined slightly. Cash
dividends declared fell for the first time since
the early 1940’s, and the ratio of dividends to
net income also declined.
Among large banks in money market centers •
and other areas, those in New York City (which
have extensive foreign operations and a smaller
proportion of their total deposits in savings and
consumer-type time deposits) recorded the fas­
test rate of growth in net income. All other
banks, while posting strong increases in loan
income during the year, were faced with sharply
rising interest expenses on time and savings
deposits, and their net income increased more
slowly.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ MAY 1973

OPERATING INCOME
Member bank operating income rose to $31,335
million in 1972 (Table 1), an increase of $2,665
million or 9.3 per cent compared with increases
of 2.7 per cent in 1971 and of 11.7 per cent
in 1970. Unlike other recent years, the propor­
tion of bank revenue derived from securities
decreased slightly, whereas there was an in­
crease in the contribution of loan revenue to
operating income.
Interest and fees on loans (including Federal

funds sold and securities purchased under resale
agreements) in 1972 amounted to $20,791 mil­
lion. This represents an increase of $1,797 mil­
lion, or 9.5 per cent, for the year and contrasts
sharply with the 2.5 per cent decline in 1971.
The average rate of return on loans declined
again in 1972, but less than in 1971, due in
part to some shifting of the loan mix toward
higher-yield categories, particularly real estate
and consumer loans. But this decline was more
than offset by the increase in total loans out­
standing.

The increase in average holdings of loans by
member banks in 1972 was $36,831 million,
or 13.9 per cent— substantially above that of the
previous year (Table 2). Some change in the
composition of loan portfolios at member banks
continued to occur. Despite the upsurge in eco­
nomic activity, commercial and industrial loans
rose only 6.7 per cent in 1972, about half the
rate of increase in total loans, although growth
accelerated considerably after midyear. The rel­
atively moderate demand for these loans re­
flected in large part the expanding volume of




internally generated funds available to corpora­
tions from improved profits and liberalized de­
preciation rules. The bank prime rate on busi­
ness loans increased steadily during 1972 after
declining in 1971, but was down somewhat on
average.
Real estate loans outstanding at member
banks in 1972 increased $9,371 million, or 16.3
per cent; such loans accounted for about onefourth of the growth of total loans during the
year. Reflecting a strong increase in the demand
for new housing, this increase was nearly IVi
times as large as that recorded in 1971. Instal­
ment credit for auto purchases accounted for
much of a $7,410 million, or 14.1 per cent,
increase in consumer loans of member banks
during 1972.
Interest and dividends earned on portfolio
investments (excluding trading account) were
higher in 1972 than in 1971 as the rise in
holdings of these securities more than offset the
decline in the average rate of return. Member
bank earnings derived from portfolio securities
rose by $424 million, or 7.5 per cent, in 1972.
With loan demands stronger and deposit inflows
somewhat reduced, average holdings of securi­
ties rose $ 11,494 million, or about one-third less
than in 1971. As in 1971, however, member
banks added longer-term securities to their
portfolios, which tended to cushion the decline
in average yield.
Average holdings of U.S. Treasury securities
by member banks increased by $1,163 million,
or 2.7 per cent, in 1972, substantially less than
in 1971. In addition, the average rate of return
on these securities declined 20 basis points to
5.41 per cent during the year (Table 3). As a
result, earnings from this source decreased 1 per
cent, in contrast to an increase of 10 per cent
in 1971.
Income from securities of States and political
subdivisions rose nearly 10 per cent in 1972
compared with 18 per cent in 1971. Although
the average rate of return on these securities also
fell, average holdings increased more than
enough to offset this decline. Income from obli­
gations of U.S.Government agencies and of “ all
other” securities rose rapidly— 26.3 and 28.6
per cent, respectively— for the most part in

3 32

response to greatly expanded holdings of these
investments.
Income from other sources in the aggregate
increased in 1972, although less rapidly than
in 1971 and 1970. Trust department income rose
$87 million, or 7.4 per cent. Service charges
on deposit accounts increased by $8 million (1
per cent) and other charges and fees by $69
million (8.7 per cent). “ Other operating in­

and Edge Act subsidiaries. Income from trading
account decreased substantially during 1972—
$86 million, or 25.3 per cent. Earnings from
foreign branches showed a significant in­
crease— $201 million, or more than twice the
increase in 1971. This growth reflected the con­
tinuing expansion of foreign operations by
member banks.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses in 1972 rose 9.8 per
cent to a total of $25,639 million. Virtually all
expense items showed increases except interest
on other borrowed money.




Interest paid on time and savings deposits
rose $1,087 million, or 1K5 per cent. Member
banks expanded their average holdings of these
deposits by 15.2 per cent, but interest rates paid,
on the average, declined by 16 basis points to
4.61 per cent.
As in 1971, much of the increase in these
expenses reflected the large inflows of regular
savings and consumer-type time deposits. While
most banks did not change their offering rates
on consumer-type deposits during the year,
some large banks holding substantial amounts
of these deposits reduced their offering rates in
early 1972 and maintained these reductions
throughout the year.
Rates paid on large negotiable CD’s— a ratesensitive money market instrument issued in
denominations of $100,000 and over— fluc­
tuated during the first half of 1972 before post­
ing steady increases in the second half, but were
lower on average than in 1971. The amount of
these deposits outstanding rose somewhat more
in 1972 than in 1971.
Interest expenses on Federal funds purchased
and securities sold under repurchase agreements
increased $314 million, or 29.3 per cent, fol­
lowing a decrease of roughly this amount in
1971. The volume of these funds used rose
substantially, while the average rate paid de­
clined from 4.66 to 4.44 per cent. Interest
expenses on other borrowed money, however,
declined $25 million, reflecting in part a further
reduction in the volume of Euro-dollar borrow­
ing and a decline of more than 2 percentage
points in average rates paid on such borrowings.
Salary and wage expenses (including bene­
fits) at member banks increased $454 million,
or 6.8 per cent, during 1972. This was less than
the 8 per cent increase in the preceding year,
and it reflected a successful attempt on the part
of member banks to hold down these expenses
despite a 3 per cent growth in the total number
of employees.
Provision for loan losses totaled $767 million
in 1972; this was 12.6 per cent more than in
1971, and it compared with an increase of 13.9
per cent in loans outstanding. Nearly all banks
operate on a reserve-accounting method, and for
most of these banks, the provision for loan

333

MEMBER BANK INCOME, 1972

losses is an estimate of the losses that the bank
may reasonably expect to incur on the current
loan portfolio (determined by methods pre­
scribed by supervisory authorities).1 For ac­
counting purposes, this item is a current operat­
ing expense and, therefore, affects net income
in the current year.
Actual net loan losses reported by member
banks in 1972 totaled $717 million, 21.6 per
cent less than the $914 million (a record for
recent years) posted in 1971 when a few large
banks experienced sizable losses. The decline
in losses, coupled with the general expansion
in loans outstanding, caused the ratio of net loan
losses to average loans outstanding to drop to
0.23 per cent in 1972— substantially below the
0.34 and 0.32 per cent recorded in 1971 and
1970, respectively.
With long-term rates in 1972, as in 1971,
appreciably below the record highs of 1970 and
with needs for capital expanding, member banks
added substantially to their outstanding capital
notes and debentures. Interest expense from this
source rose nearly 50 per cent from the 1971
level to a total of $184 million.
Furniture and equipment expenses rose $51
million or 6.4 per cent during 1972. Net
occupancy expenses amounted to $1,259 mil­
lion— $129 million, or 11.4 per cent, more than
in 1971. All other expenses (except for Euro­
dollar interest expenses, which some banks
report in this figure) increased slightly during
the year.

INCOME TAXES
Provision for income taxes at all member banks
amounted to $1,260 million in 1972. Although
operating income (that is, income before income
taxes and security gains or losses) rose 7 per
cent, applicable taxes on operating income rose
only $7 million or less than 1 per cent, reflecting
the significant contribution of interest on taxexempt securities to 1972 income growth. In
1972, tax-free transfers from capital accounts
to reserves for loan losses reduced Federal in­
come taxes of member banks by $153 million,
approximately the same amount as in 1971.

NET INCOME AND CASH DIVIDENDS
Net income of member banks rose $283 million,
or 6.9 per cent, in 1972 to $4,400 million. This
was slightly below the 7.7 per cent rise in 1971.
With equity capital plus reserves rising slightly
faster than net income, the rate of return on net
worth at member banks declined very slightly
to 10.54 per cent.
Despite the increase in net income, cash div­
idends declared during 1972 were $69 million,
or 3.6 per cent, less than in 1971. Relative to
net income, dividends declined 4 percentage
points from the preceding year to 42 per cent.
The ratio of dividends declared to equity capital
plus reserves (net worth) also fell— from 4.91
per cent in 1971 to 4.40 per cent.

NET INCOME BY SIZE OF BANK

MEMBER BANK INCOME, 1972
in other recent years. Chicago banks experi­
enced a more rapid increase in income from
loans than New York banks, but interest ex­
penses on time and savings accounts and Federal
funds purchased (which are a greater proportion
of operating expenses for Chicago banks) rose
even more rapidly. As a result, net income for
large banks in Chicago was up about 10 per­
centage points less in 1972 than in 1971.




335
Net income at other large banks rose nearly
3 percentage points less in 1972 than in 1971
while that of “ all other banks,” a group that
includes many small banks, rose at close to the
same rate in both years. A major factor contri­
buting to the reduced earnings growth at other
large banks was the turnaround from sizable net
gains on securities transactions in 1971 to net
losses in 1972.
□

Yields On
Recently Offered Corporate Bonds
A series of yields on recently offered corporate
bonds has been developed as a companion series
to the index of yields on newly issued corporate
bonds (see B ulletin for September 1972).
Monthly and quarterly data for 1965 to 1973
and weekly data for 1973 are shown in Table
l . 1 Data for this series will be published in the
statistical section of the B ulletin .
The yield series on recently offered bonds
relies on the procedures and the model underly­
ing the companion series of yields on newly
issued bonds. That series is estimated for a
standard bond, which is defined as a new,
straight-debt, long-term (20 years or longer)
utility issue, rated Aaa both by Moody’s In­
vestors Service, Inc., and by Standard and
Poor’s, Inc., that carries 5-year call protection
and is underwritten by a process of competitive
bidding. New corporate debt issues with char­
acteristics other than those of the standard bond
are included in determining the newly issued
yield series by using a nonlinear regression model
to calculate the basis-point values of the heter­
ogeneous characteristics. Details of the model,
the estimation procedures, and a discussion of
the results are presented in a Federal Reserve
Staff Economic Study, “ Obtaining the Yield on
a Standard Bond from a Sample of Bonds with
Heterogeneous Characteristics,” by James L.
xThis series was developed by James L. Kichline,
P. Michael Laub, and Beryl Deck.
Weekly data beginning January 1965 are available
upon request from Capital Markets Section, Division
of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.

336



Kichline, P. Michael Laub, and Guy V. G.
Stevens; a summary of this study appears on
pages 327 and 328.
There are several differences between the two
yield series. First, bonds that meet the criteria
for inclusion in the newly issued series are
employed in the calculation of that series only
in the week in which they are initially offered
to investors; bonds in the recently offered series
are the same as those in the newly issued series,
but they are employed in calculating the series
for each of the first 4 weeks after termination
of underwriter price restrictions.2 Second, yields
on bonds in the newly issued series are based
on prices asked by underwriting syndicates;
yields on recently offered bonds, on the other
hand, are based on prices determined in the free
market and hence approximate market clearing
prices. Third, yields on recently offered bonds
are derived from quotes at the close of trading
on Friday, while new issues may be offered on
any day of the week. Fourth, no adjustment is
made for type of underwriting in the recently
offered series because such differences as may
exist due to the underwriting process are as­
sumed not to exist in market-determined yields.
2During the 4-week interval trading is generally active
and reliable quotes are usually available. In addition,
coupons on the bonds in the series do not differ appre­
ciably from coupons on bonds in the new issue market.
In contrast, bonds outstanding for significantly longer
periods of time often have thin markets and may carry
noncurrent coupons. Both of these factors influence the
yield and often make seasoned yield indices less sensi­
tive to current market developments and, at times, less
representative of the underlying market situation.

The Structure of Reserve Requirements
It is a pleasure for me, both as a citizen and
as a Government official, to join in the deliber­
ations of this Council. We share many common
objectives and we face common problems. Of
course, our views have not always agreed in
the past, and I doubt if the future can or will
be entirely different. It is important, never­
theless, that we make a conscientious effort to
understand one another’s perceptions of the
problems we face. If we do so, we will generally
find a path to fair and constructive solutions.
One gratifying demonstration of that fact has
taken place in recent weeks. The Committee on
Interest and Dividends recently issued guide­
lines on the so-called “ dual prime rate.” In
response to my invitation, bankers from all over
the country met with the committee and its staff
to ponder the difficulties surrounding the prime
rate in the current environment and to seek a
solution that could best serve the public interest.
I am especially grateful to two of your leaders,
Eugene Adams and Rex Morthland, for giving
so generously of their time and wisdom to make
the lending rate guidelines fair and workable.
And I also want to note that the banking industry
has acted prudently in complying with the com­
mittee’s request to move gradually and cau­
tiously in adjusting the prime loan rate for large
businesses. Such a moderate response adds to
national confidence in the public responsibility
of banking leaders.
Today, however, I shall say no more of the
Committee on Interest and Dividends, but turn
instead to my responsibilities as Chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board. You and I have a
number of pressing problems demanding our
immediate attention. But it is also essential that
we focus on longer-range issues from time to
time. I want to discuss with you this morning
N o t e . — Address by Arthur F. Burns, Chairman,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
before the Governing Council Spring Meeting, Ameri­
can Bankers Association, White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia, April 26, 1973.




one of those issues— namely, the structure of
reserve requirements.
This is a subject of substantial interest to the
managers of commercial banks. It is also a
matter of considerable importance to those of
us concerned with the Nation’s economic and
financial policy. For reserve requirements can
influence in fundamental ways the effectiveness
of monetary policy, the cost of financial inter­
mediation, and the allocation of savings among
competing financial institutions.
Let me begin by considering the role and
purpose of reserve requirements in the func­
tioning of monetary and credit policies.
Before the Federal Reserve System was
founded, reserve requirements were imposed by
legislation at the national and State levels as
a means of protecting bank liquidity. That phi­
losophy was retained in the original structure
of reserve requirements established for Federal
Reserve member banks. Higher requirements
were set for reserve city banks than for country
members, and still higher requirements were
imposed on central reserve city banks. Vestiges
of that initial structure remain even today.
Required reserves, however, are not really an
important source of bank liquidity. The reserves
required to back deposits cannot be withdrawn
to finance a rise in loan demand, and they can
supply only a small portion of the funds needed
to accommodate deposit losses. The true and
basic function of reserve requirements is not to
provide liquidity, but to permit the Federal
Reserve to control the supply of money and
credit so that monetary policy can effectively
promote our national economic objectives.
To achieve good management over the supply
of money and credit, reserve requirements must
be met by holding assets whose aggregate vol­
ume is under the control of the Federal Reserve.
Whatever their role may be in protecting bank
liquidity, the reserve requirements set by the
various States do not meet this test. This is a
serious defect, since the principal reason for
339

3 40

reserve requirements is their contribution to
effective monetary policy.
Judged by this criterion, the present structure
of reserve requirements leaves much to be de­
sired. Reforms are needed to increase the preci­
sion and the certainty with which the supply
of money and credit can be controlled. Reforms
are needed to permit more variation in reserve
requirements as an instrument of monetary pol­
icy. Reforms are also needed to distribute the
burden of monetary controls more equitably
among the financial institutions that participate
in the payments mechanism.
The Federal Reserve Board has been con­
cerned for some time with inequities in the
structure of reserve requirements. Last No­
vember, we finally used our authority under
Regulation D to carry out substantial improve­
ments in the structure of reserves that are re­
quired to be held against the demand deposits
of member banks.
As you know, the Federal Reserve Act speci­
fies that the Board must distinguish between
reserve city banks and other members in the
establishment of reserve requirements. Until
November 1972, the principal determinant of
a bank’s reserve status was its geographic loca­
tion. Banks in principal financial centers were
generally classified as reserve city banks; those
in other locations fell into the country member
category. A bank could, however, have its
classification changed by appealing for special
treatment based on the nature of its banking
business.
With the passage of time, this system of
reserve classification became increasingly out­
moded and inequitable. Some large banks in
cities of substantial size enjoyed the lower re­
serve requirement on demand deposits applica­
ble to country members. At the same time, there
were some small banks in major financial
centers that had to carry the higher reserve
requirement imposed on reserve city members.
Over the years, exceptions had been granted in
so many cases— each of them probably justified
but different from most others— that the princi­
ples underlying the reserve classification of
member banks could no longer be readily dis­
cerned.
The Board moved last year to eliminate these
capricious elements in reserve classification by



FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ MAY 1973

introducing a graduated reserve requirement—
that is, by relating the reserve against demand
deposits of each bank to the size of the bank.
Under the new system, all member banks of
a given size, whatever their location, are subject
to identical reserve requirements.
This reform was a major step forward in the
creation of a more rational and equitable struc­
ture of reserve requirements. Yet, much more
remains to be done.
One of the principal steps needed is to apply
equivalent reserve requirements to member and
nonmember banks. At present, nonmember
banks are not required to hold reserves in the
form of deposits at the Federal Reserve Banks,
as member banks do.
In many States, percentage reserve require­
ments for nonmember banks are comparable to
those for Federal Reserve members. However,
the reserves required of nonmember banks
usually may be carried as correspondent bal­
ances, or even in the form of Government
securities. When reserves are held as corre­
spondent balances at a member bank, that bank
is of course required to support these balances
with reserves that consist either of vault cash
or cash at the Federal Reserve. But in such a
case the size of the cash reserve held by the
member bank is quite small relative to the initial
deposit at the nonmember bank.
The consequence of these differential reserve
requirements is that shifts of deposits between
member and nonmember banks alter the quan­
tity of deposits at all commercial banks that can
be supported by a given volume of bank re­
serves. Thus, the links between bank reserves,
on the one hand, and bank credit and the money
supply, on the other, are loosened, and the
Federal Reserve’s control over the monetary
aggregates becomes less precise than it can or
should be.
The magnitude of this problem is difficult to
assess, since nonmember banks submit statisti­
cal reports to supervisory authorities infre­
quently. Annual data, however, suggest a sub­
stantial variability in the relative growth rates
of member and nonmember banks. Over the past
decade, increases in the volume of checking
deposits at nonmember banks accounted for
around 40 per cent of the total rise in checking
deposits. But the proportion was as low as

STRUCTURE OF RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

one-tenth in 1962 and as high as three-fourths
in 1969. Variations of this magnitude add to
uncertainty about the effects of open market
operations on bank credit and deposits, on the
cost and availability of loanable funds, and
hence also on the level of aggregate demand
for goods and services.
This source of imprecision in monetary con­
trol has become more worrisome as the propor­
tion of bank deposits held at member banks has
declined. In 1945, 86 per cent of total commer­
cial bank deposits was held by member banks.
The ratio had fallen to 80 per cent by 1970 and
to 78 per cent by the end of last year.
In part, this trend reflects the relatively rapid
growth of population in areas served by non­
member banks, particularly suburban areas. The
major causal factor, however, is the competitive
disadvantage that is imposed on member banks
by requiring them to hold reserves against de­
posits in the form of vault cash or as deposits
at the Federal Reserve. For nonmember banks,
required reserves are, in effect, earning assets
even when they are held as demand balances
with other commercial banks, since these bal­
ances normally also serve as a form of payment
for services rendered by city correspondents.
One consequence of this inequity is an incen­
tive for member banks to withdraw from the
Federal Reserve System, or for newly chartered
State banks to avoid Federal Reserve member­
ship. Since 1960, about 700 banks have left the
System through withdrawal or mergers. Just
over 100 State-chartered banks have elected to
join the System since 1960; nearly 1,500 others
receiving new charters chose to remain outside
the System.
And the trend continues. During 1972, five
banks with deposits of $100 million or more
withdrew from Federal Reserve membership. Of
the 212 new commercial banks receiving State
charters last year, only 13 elected Federal Re­
serve membership.
Over the years, efforts have been made to
reduce the competitive disadvantage faced by
member banks and thereby make System mem­
bership more attractive. Permission to count
vault cash in meeting reserve requirements
clearly improved matters. The changes made in
Regulation D last November were also helpful,
because they reduced reserve requirements



341

against demand deposits— particularly for small
member banks that compete actively with non­
members. Recently, a seasonal borrowing priv­
ilege at the discount window was established
for member banks that have insufficient access
to the national money markets. This, too, should
make membership more attractive. Never­
theless, there are limits to measures of this kind
that can be taken under existing legislation.
The erosion of membership in the Federal
Reserve System is therefore a serious problem.
It reduces the precision of monetary control, as
I have already noted. It may, in time, also
weaken public confidence in the Nation’s central
bank and in its ability to maintain a stable
currency and a sound banking system. And it
has already reduced the potential for using
changes in reserve requirements as an effective
instrument of monetary policy. When a large
and increasing proportion of total bank deposits
is left untouched by changes in the reserve
requirements prescribed by the Board, that alone
is a fact of some significance. The greater loss,
however, arises because the Board must use
changes in reserve requirements sparingly as an
instrument of monetary policy, since an increase
in required reserves would worsen the competi­
tive disadvantage of member banks and thereby
threaten a further erosion of membership.
This inhibition has been unfortunate, for there
have been times v, hen .the prompt and pervasive
impact of a higher reserve requirement would
have been the best way to signal that monetary
policy is moving toward added restraint on the
availability of money and credit. In view of the
divergence in reserve requirements between
member and nonmember banks, the Federal
Reserve has sometimes had to turn to other,
perhaps less effective, measures to achieve its
objectives.
These considerations argue persuasively, I
believe, that reserve requirements on demand
deposits at nonmember banks should be the
same as those faced by Federal Reserve
members. Continuation of the present state of
affairs is inequitable, and it also weakens mon­
etary control. These difficulties will become
more acute in the years to come if corrective
legislative action is not forthcoming.
The proposal to treat member and nonmember
banks alike for reserve purposes is not new. Its

342

substance was em bodied in the recom ­
mendations of a congressional committee
chaired by Senator Douglas in 1950, repeated
in 1952 in the recommendations of a congres­
sional committee chaired by Congressman Patman, endorsed by the Commission on Money
and Credit in 1961, reaffirmed by the President’s
Committee on Financial Institutions in 1963,
and restated again in the 1971 report of the
President’s Commission on Financial Structure
and Regulation. Since 1964, the Federal Re­
serve has repeatedly urged the Congress to bring
all insured commercial banks under the same
reserve requirements, and to provide all these
banks with equal access to the discount window.
I
am aware that this proposal is not viewed
with favor by many segments of the banking
community, and that is the major reason why
this needed reform has been delayed. The pro­
posal would be more palatable to bankers if
some part of the Board’s reserve requirement
against demand deposits could be held in the
form of an earning asset, such as U.S. Govern­
ment securities. I do not want to rule out that
possibility categorically. Simple honesty, how­
ever, compels me to state that, however attrac­
tive reserve requirements in that form may be
from the standpoint of bank earnings, they can­
not serve a useful function in monetary man­
agement. As I noted earlier, satisfactory control
over the supply of money and credit requires
that bank reserves be held in the form of assets
whose aggregate volume is directly controlled
by the Federal Reserve.
The principle that underlies the Board’s rec­
ommendation is simple and straightforward—
namely, that equivalent reserve requirements
should apply to all deposits that effectively serve
as a part of the public’s money balances. Recent
efforts of nonbank depositary institutions to
evolve new modes of money transfer make
adoption of this principle a matter of some
urgency. If legislative action is delayed, we may
soon find a much larger share of money transfers
taking place at institutions outside the reach of
the Board’s reserve requirements.
As you know, participation in third-party
transfers by nonbank financial institutions has
already commenced. In Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, mutual savings banks have begun
to offer depositors an interest-bearing account



FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ MAY 1973

subject to a negotiable order of withdrawal— a
“ NOW account” — that resembles closely an
interest-bearing checking account. In Califor­
nia, savings and loan associations are seeking
direct access to an electronic money transfer
system operated by California banks. Access to
the system would enable these associations to
charge and credit the savings accounts of their
customers in much the same way that checking
deposits are handled at commercial banks. Other
forms of third-party transfers are likely to spring
up here and there.
The Board believes, and has so indicated in
testimony to the Congress, that Federal regula­
tion should permit developments such as these
to flourish, so that the range of services of
depositary institutions to American families may
be extended. The Board believes, however, that
present trends could have significant adverse
effects on monetary control unless reserve re­
quirements established by the Federal Reserve
are applied to all deposit accounts involving
money-transfer services. Failure to do so would
also have damaging effects on competitive rela­
tions between commercial banks and nonbank
thrift institutions.
Universal application of reserve requirements
to all deposits providing money-transfer services
need not mean a uniform percentage require­
ment on all these deposits. There may be a
reasonable basis for lower reserve requirements
on savings accounts with third-party transfer
privileges than for deposits that carry fullchecking-account powers. There may also be a
reasonable basis for retaining the principle of
reserve requirements graduated by size of the
depositary institution. Lack of uniformity of
reserve requirements on similar deposits does,
however, pose potential problems for monetary
control.
There are other aspects of present reserve
requirements that also deserve careful and con­
tinuing review in the light of our evolving
financial structure.
The appropriateness of reserve requirements
on commercial bank time and savings deposits
has been a subject of debate over the years. It
has been argued that cash reserves against time
deposits are not essential for purposes of mone­
tary control and therefore should be abolished
as an unnecessary impediment to interme­

STRUCTURE OF RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

diation. Yet, some observers take the position
that reserve requirements for commercial bank
time deposits should be increased to the same
level as the requirements for demand deposits,
so that shifts of funds between the two deposit
classes would not alter the relationship of bank
reserves to bank credit and the money supply.
The merits of these conflicting arguments are
difficult to evaluate. At present, there is no
convincing evidence of frequent or large-scale
shifts of funds between demand and time de­
posits of the sort that could be disruptive to
financial markets and to the management of
aggregate demand. Still, the potential for such
shifts may be increasing with the proliferation
of new financial services that facilitate transfers
from one type of deposit to another.
Removal of reserve requirements against time
deposits would, therefore, seem unwise at this
time. And in any event, elimination of statutory
authority to impose reserve requirements against
time and savings deposits would take away a
weapon of monetary policy that is potentially
useful for containing increases in bank credit
at a time when inflationary pressures are already
strong and threaten to become still stronger.
As long as commercial banks are required to
hold cash reserves against time and savings
deposits, questions will persist about the desira­
bility of similar requirements against savings
accounts at nonbank thrift institutions. At
present, extension of reserve requirements to
savings accounts at nonbank intermediaries does
not appear to be needed for reasons of monetary
control. There have been times when shifts of
funds between banks and nonbank interme­
diaries have had a disturbing influence on the
mortgage market. But those shifts have not
produced serious problems for monetary con­
trol, and they would not have been prevented
by comparable reserve requirements at the two
classes of institutions.
From the viewpoint of equity, the case for
equal reserve requirements on time and savings
deposits at all financial institutions is stronger.
Even on this ground, however, it should be kept
in mind that the diversified services that com­
mercial banks offer their customers give them




343
an advantage in bidding for time and savings
deposits— an advantage that probably still re­
mains after the costs of holding cash reserves
are taken into account.
However, if recent trends continue, the in­
creasing provision of money-transfer services by
nonbank thrift institutions will blur the distinc­
tion between commercial banks and nonbank
intermediaries, just as it blurs the distinction
between checking and savings accounts. As
nonbank depositary institutions become more
like commercial banks, the basis for differences
in reserve requirements will be weakened and
so too will the justification for differences in
tax and regulatory treatment.
Public policy must take account of the com­
petitive forces that are altering the structure of
our Nation’s depositary institutions and the
character of the services they supply. The need
for legislation authorizing identical reserve re­
quirements on demand deposits at member and
nonmember banks is of long standing. The time
for bringing NOW accounts and any other de­
posits offering money-transfer services under
the Board’s reserve requirements is clearly at
hand. And if the distinctions between commer­
cial banks and nonbank financial institutions
gradually fade away, regulatory authority to
equalize the treatment of time and savings de­
posits for reserve purposes will also be needed.
Enabling legislation to accomplish these ends
should allow flexibility in implementation. The
transition to a new and more appropriate system
of reserve requirements should be designed so
as to minimize the adjustment problems of indi­
vidual institutions, and also to permit the regu­
latory authorities to monitor the effects of
changing reserve requirements on financial
markets and on economic activity. Abrupt
changes in the structure of reserve requirements
are unnecessary and would probably be unwise.
The need, as I see it, is for a gradual transition
to a reserve structure that will accomplish two
objectives: first, ensure adequate control over
the supply of money and credit in the years to
come; and second, establish an equitable shar­
ing among financial institutions of the costs of
monetary control.

of the Federal Open Market Committee

Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market
Committee at each meeting, in the form in which they will appear
in the Board’s Annual Report, are released approximately 90 days
following the date of the meeting and are subsequently published
in the Federal Reserve B u lletin .
The record for each meeting includes the votes on the policy
decisions made at the meeting as well as a resume of the basis
for the decisions. The summary descriptions of economic and
financial conditions are based on the information that was available
to the Committee at the time of the meeting, rather than on data
as they may have been revised since then.
Policy directives of the Federal Open Market Committee are
issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York— the Bank
selected by the Committee to execute transactions for the System
Open Market Account.
Records of policy actions have been published regularly in the
B ulletin beginning with the July 1967 issue, and such records
have continued to be published in the Board’s Annual Reports.
The record for the first meeting held in 1973 was published in
the B ulletin for April, pages 286-92. The record for the meeting
held on February 13, 1973, follows:

Estimates of the Commerce Department indicated that real output
of goods and services had grown at an annual rate of 8.5 per cent
in the fourth quarter of 1972, and growth appeared to be continuing
at a substantial, although less rapid, rate in the first quarter of
1973. Staff projections suggested that real growth in the second
quarter would remain close to the first-quarter rate.
In January retail sales rose sharply, according to the advance
report, after having increased considerably more in December than
had been indicated by earlier data. Industrial production continued
to expand— reflecting gains in consumer goods and business equip­
ment— and nonfarm payroll employment rose further; however, the
pace of expansion in output and employment in both December
and January was less rapid than over the four preceding months.
The unemployment rate declined slightly further to 5.0 per cent.
Labor costs per unit of output in the private nonfarm economy—
which had changed little in the second and third quarters of
1972— turned up in the fourth quarter as the advance in output
per manhour slowed and the rise in wage rates accelerated. Average
hourly earnings of production workers continued to rise at a
relatively rapid rate in January. In December the rise in over-all
consumer prices slowed; while retail prices of nonfood commodities
and of services advanced at a faster pace than earlier in the year,
average retail prices of foods were about stable. In wholesale
markets, however, prices of meats, eggs, and some other foods
and foodstuffs rose sharply in December, and the rise continued
in January.
The latest staff projection of real growth in the first half of 1973
was about unchanged from that of 4 weeks earlier, but now the
expected rise in average prices was somewhat larger, in part
because of the substantial increases that had already occurred in
prices of foods and foodstuffs. It was still expected that expansion
in consumption expenditures, business fixed investment, and State
and local government purchases of goods and services would
remain strong and that business inventory investment would in­
crease further. It was also anticipated that outlays for residential
construction would level off and then turn down.

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

In foreign exchange markets the relative calm that had prevailed
for a number of months was shattered in late January by a series
of developments, including a decision by the Italian Government
to create a dual market for the lira in response to capital outflows,
a decision by the Swiss Government to float the franc in response
to large capital inflows, and release of U.S. foreign trade statistics
revealing that the deficit— which had worsened in November after
having improved gradually from June through October— had re­
mained large in December. Heavy speculative flows out of dollars
into the German mark and some other currencies developed, cul­
minating in very large purchases of dollars by many central banks
in the process of maintaining their exchange rates within the
internationally agreed limits. On February 12, after consultations
with other major countries, the Secretary of the Treasury announced
that the United States would devalue the dollar by 10 per cent.
At U.S. commercial banks, credit demands— which had eased
in December—expanded substantially in January in all major in­
dustrial categories and in all regions of the country, and outstanding
business loans rose at a record pace. Real estate and consumer
loans continued to grow at rapid rates, while bank holdings of
securities increased little. In association with the strong demand
for loans and further advances in market interest rates, some banks
announced increases in their prime rates from 6 to 6 lA per cent
at the beginning of February, but in cooperation with the Govern­
ment’s stabilization program, the banks rescinded the increases
pending evaluation of data on costs and earnings.
The narrowly defined money stock ( M x) x changed little in January
after having increased sharply in December, and growth over the
2 months combined was at an annual rate of about 6.5 per
cent— about the same as the rate over the whole 6-month period
from July 1972 to January 1973.2 Part of the recent fluctuation
in the growth rate was attributable to a temporary increase in
demand deposits of State and local governments in association with
initial distributions of funds under the Federal revenue-sharing

program and subsequent shifts of some of these funds into earning
assets, including time deposits. Inflows of time and savings deposits
other than large-denomination CD’s increased from December to
January, moderating the deceleration in growth in the more broadly
defined money stock (M2).3 Growth in M2 over both the Decem­
ber-January and the July-January periods was at an annual rate
of about 9.5 per cent.
Inflows of savings funds to nonbank thrift institutions also rose
substantially from December to January. Contract interest rates on
conventional mortgages apparently changed little in January and
yields in the secondary market for Federally insured mortgages
also remained stable.
On January 31 the Treasury announced that in its mid-February
financing it would offer holders of maturing notes an opportunity
to exchange their holdings for a 3y2-year, 6 V2 per cent note priced
to yield about 6.60 per cent and that it would auction about $1
billion of 63/4-year, 6% per cent notes. As had been expected in
the market, a relatively large part— $2.2 billion, or 47 per cent— of
the $4.8 billion of maturing notes held by the public was redeemed
for cash.
System open market operations since the January 16 meeting
had been guided by the Committee’s decision to seek bank reserve
and money market conditions that would support slower growth
in monetary aggregates over the months ahead than the rates
recorded over the second half of 1972. Operations had been directed
toward fostering growth in reserves available to support private
nonbank deposits (RPD’s) at an annual rate in a range of 4.5 to
10.5 per cent in the January-February period, while avoiding
marked changes in money market conditions and taking account
of Treasury financing operations.
The System had acted early in the inter-meeting period— prior
to announcement of the terms of the Treasury financing— to restrain
expansion in reserves provided through open market operations,
and money market conditions had firmed. The Federal funds rate,
which had been about 5% per cent in the days before the January
meeting, rose to about 6% per cent in the latter part of the month
and then fluctuated around that level. Member bank borrowings

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC

averaged about $1,235 million in the 4 weeks ending February
7, compared with about $1,200 million in the preceding 4 weeks.
At the time of this meeting it appeared that in the January-February
period RPD’s would grow at a rate near the middle of the specified
range.
Market interest rates had continued to rise since the Committee’s
January meeting, reflecting the further tightening in money market
conditions, widespread expectations of vigorous economic expan­
sion, and uncertainty about the effectiveness of Phase III of the
economic stabilization program. Short-term rates had risen consid­
erably. In early February, however, the market for Treasury bills
was strengthened by actual and expected purchases of bills by
foreign central banks in association with the speculative outflows
from dollars into other currencies. On February 9, the last market
day before this meeting, the rate on 3-month bills was 5.44 per
cent, down from 5.76 per cent on February 1 but up from 5.27
per cent on the day before the January meeting.
The rise in interest rates was more moderate for long-term than
for most short-term securities. The volume of new public offerings
of corporate bonds, which had been reduced in December by the
holidays, failed to rebound in January and appeared likely to remain
at a reduced level in February. The volume of new State and local
government bonds also changed little in January, and it appeared
likely to decline in February.
The Committee agreed that the economic situation called for
growth in the monetary aggregates over the months ahead at
somewhat slower rates than had occurred on average in the past
6 months. The members took note of a staff analysis suggesting
that the sharp further advance in short-term interest rates that had
occurred in recent months would probably retard growth in the
demand for money over the months ahead. The analysis also
suggested that in the February-March period the Committee’s
objectives for monetary growth might be fostered by pursuing
growth in RPD’s at an annual rate within a range of 0.5 to 2.5
per cent and that attainment of RPD growth in that range probably
would be associated with some additional firming of money market
conditions and some upward pressure on long-term interest rates.
The Committee concluded that active reserve-supplying opera­
tions should be avoided unless RPD’s in the February-March period




349

350




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ MAY 1973

appeared to be declining at an annual rate of more than 2.5 per
cent. Specifically, the members decided that operations should be
directed at fostering RPD growth during that period within a range
of —2.5 to + 2.5 per cent, while continuing to avoid marked
changes in money market conditions. They also agreed that in the
conduct of operations account should be taken of possible credit
market developments and international developments, and that
allowance should be made in operations if growth in the monetary
aggregates appeared to be deviating from an acceptable range. It
was understood that the Chairman might consider calling upon the
Committee to appraise the need for supplementary instructions
before the next scheduled meeting if significant inconsistencies
appeared to be developing among the Committee’s various objec­
tives and constraints.
The following current economic policy directive was issued to
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York:

Developments subsequent to the meeting made it appear that
RPD’s would grow in the February-March period at an annual
rate in excess of 2.5 per cent, even though money market conditions
had firmed and the Federal funds rate had averaged close to 6 %
per cent for two successive weeks. On March 1, 1973, the members
agreed that the weekly average Federal funds rate should be
permitted to rise somewhat further if necessary to limit growth
in RPD’s.

*The legislation amended section 659.141 of the F lorida
Statutes. Section 659.141, as amended, provides, in pertinent
part:
659.141(1) Control; ownership.—
(1) Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, no
bank, trust company, or holding company, the operations of
which are principally conducted outside this State, shall ac­
quire, retain, or own, directly or indirectly, all or substantially
all the assets of, or control over, any bank or trust company
having a place of business in this State where the business
of banking, or trust business or functions are conducted, or
acquire, retain or own all or substantially all of the assets of,
or control over, any business organization having a place of
business in this State where or from which it furnishes invest­
ment advisory services in this State. However, if a bank, trust
company, or holding company directly or indirectly owning
all or substantially all the assets of, or having control over,
a bank or a trust company or business organization to which
the restrictions and prohibitions of this section apply, having
acquired such assets or control prior to becoming disqualified
hereunder, shall, on or after the effective date of this section,
be or become disqualified hereunder to acquire, retain or own
the same, the restrictions and prohibitions of this section shall
not be enforced against it for a period which, under all the
circumstances, is determined by the department to be reas­
onable, not exceeding two years from the effective date of
this Act or from the date it becomes disqualified hereunder,
whichever is later, unless said period of two years is extended
by the department as herein provided. The department is
authorized, upon a showing of undue hardship, to extend said
period of two years from time to time if the department
determines that any such extension would not be detrimental
to the public interest, but any such extension shall not exceed
one year and all thereof shall not in the aggregate exceed three
years.

(2) . . .
(c) A business organization provides investment advisory
services if, in this State for compensation, it engages in the
business of advising persons, as defined in § 1.01(3), Florida
Statutes, either directly or indirectly or through publications
or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the advisability
of investment in or purchasing securities, or if, not being a
certified public accountant, in this State and for compensation,
it issues or distributes to persons, as defined in § 1.01(3),
Florida Statutes, analyses or reports concerning securities.

*Far West also sells insurance directly related to extensions
of credit in its mortgage banking activities. Applicant sought
to acquire the mortgage banking activities of Far West as well
as the related insurance activities; however, in light of objec­
tions to these insurance activities, Applicant requested that the
Board split the application into two separate parts. Accord­
ingly, the Board’s Order herein deals only with the proposed
acquisition of Far West’s mortgage banking activities. Appli­
cant’s request for Board approval to engage in the aforemen­
tioned insurance activities is still pending.

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

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

1 Based upon reserve balances, including all adjustments applicable to
the reporting period. Prior to Sept. 25,1968, carryover reserve deficiencies,
if any, were deducted. Excess reserves for later periods are net of all carry­
over reserves.
2 Derived from averages for individual banks for entire week. Figure
for each bank indicates extent to which the bank’s weekly average pur­
chases and sales are offsetting.
3 Federal funds loaned, net funds supplied to each dealer by clearing




banks, repurchase agreements (purchases of securities from dealers
subject to resale), or other lending arrangements.
4 Federal funds borrowed, net funds acquired from each dealer by
clearing banks, reverse repurchase agreements (sales of securities to
dealers subject to repurchase), resale agreements, and borrowings secured
by Govt, or other issues.
Note.—Weekly averages of daily figures. For description of series
and back data, see Aug. 1964 Bulletin, pp. 944-74.

1 W hen tw o dates are show n, the first applies to the change at reserve
city banks and the second to the change at country banks. For changes
prior to 1963 see Board’s Annual Reports.
2 (a) D em and deposits subject to reserve requirements are gross de­
mand deposits minus cash item s in process o f collection and demand
balances due from dom estic banks.
(b) Requirement schedules are graduated, and each deposit interval
applies to that part o f the deposits o f each bank.
(c) Since Oct. 16,1969, member banks have been required under R egu­
lation M to maintain reserves against balances above a specified base due
from d om estic offices to their foreign branches. Effective Jan. 7, 1971, the
applicable reserve percentage was increased from the original 10 per cent
to 20 per cent. R egulation D im poses a similar reserve requirement on bor­
rowings above a specified base from foreign banks by dom estic offices
o f a m em ber bank. For details concerning these requirements, see Regula­
tions D and M and appropriate supplements and am endm ents thereto.
3 Effective Jan. 5, 1967, tim e deposits such as Christmas and vacation
club accounts becam e subject to sam e requirements as savings deposits.
F or other notes see 2(b) and 2(c) above.
4 Effective N ov. 9, 1972, a new criterion was adopted to designate re­
serve cities, and on the sam e date requirements for reserves against net
dem and deposits o f member banks were restructured to provide that each

mem ber bank will maintain reserves related to the size o f its net dem and
deposits. The new reserve city designations are as fo llo w s: A bank having
net demand deposits o f m ore than $400 m illion is considered to have the
character o f business o f a reserve city bank, and the presence o f the head
office o f such a bank constitutes designation o f that place as a reserve
city. Cities in which there are F.R . Banks or branches are also
reserve cities. A ny banks having net demand deposits o f $400 m illion or
less are considered to have the character o f business o f banks outside o f
reserve cities and are permitted to maintain reserves at ratios set for banks
not in reserve cities. For details, see announcem ents o n R egulation D in
1972 Bulletins: July, pp. 649, 679; Oct., p. 942; N o v ., p. 994.
5 Reserve city banks.
6 The 16
per cent requirement applied for one week, only to former
reserve city banks. For other banks, the 13 per cent requirement was
continued in this deposit interval.
7 See preceding colum ns for earliest effective date o f this rate.

Note.— A ll required reserves were held on deposit w ith F .R . Banks
June 21, 1917, until D ec. 1959. From D ec. 1959 to N o v . 1960, m em ber
banks were allowed to count part o f their currency and coin as reserves;
effective N o v . 24, 1960, they were allowed to count all as reserves. For

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




7Vi

N ote.—Maximum rates that may be paid by member banks are estab­
lished by the Board of Governors under provisions of Regulation Q;
however, a member bank may not pay a rate in excess of the maximum
rate payable by State banks or trust companies on like deposits under
the laws of the State in which the member bank is located. Beginning
Feb. 1, 1936, maximum rates that may be paid by nonmember insured
commercial banks, as established by the FDIC, have been the same as
those in effect for member banks.

For credit extended under Regulations T (brokers and dealers),
U (banks), and G (others than brokers, dealers, or banks)

1 Averages of daily figures. Member bank reserve series reflects actual
reserve requirement percentages with no adjustment to eliminate the
effect of changes in Regulations D and M. Required reserves were in­
creased by $660 million effective Apr. 16, 1969, and $400 million, effective
Oct. 16, 1969. Required reserves were reduced by $500 million (net)
effective Oct. 1, 1970. Required reserves were reduced by approximately
$2.5 billion, effective Nov. 9, 1972; by $1.0 billion, effective Nov. 15, and
increased by $300 million, effective Nov. 22.
2 Reserves available to support private nonbank deposits are defined
as (1) required reserves for (a) private demand deposits, (b) total time
and savings deposits, and (c) nondeposit sources subject to reserve re­
quirements, and (2) excess reserves. This series excludes required reserves
for net interbank and U.S. Govt, demand deposits.
3 Averages of daily figures. Deposits subject to reserve requirements
include total time and savings deposits and net demand deposits as defined
by Regulation D. Private demand deposits include all demand deposits
except those due to the U.S. Govt., less cash items in process of collection

and demand balances due from domestic commercial banks. Data for
1968 are not comparable with later data due to the withdrawal from the
System on Jan. 2, 1969, of a large member bank.
4 Total member bank deposits subject to reserve requirements, plus
Euro-dollar borrowings, bank-related commercial paper, and certain
other nondeposit items. This series for deposits is referred to as “the ad­
justed bank credit proxy.”
N ote.—For description of revised series and for back data, see article
“Revision of the Money Stock Measures and Member Bank Reserves and
Deposits” on pp. 61-79 of the Feb. 1973 Bulletin.
Due to changes in Regulations M and D, member bank reserves include
reserves held against nondeposit funds beginning Oct. 16, 1969. Back data
may be obtained from the Banking Section, Division of Research and
Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington,
D.C. 20551.

1 Adjusted to exclude domestic commercial interbank loans.
2 Beginning June 30, 1971, Farmers Home Administration insured notes
totaling approximately $700 million are included in “Other securities”
rather than in “Loans.”
3 Loans sold outright by commercial banks to own subsidiaries,
foreign branches, holding companies, and other affiliates.
4 Beginning June 30, 1969, data revised to include all bank-premises
subsidiaries and other significant majority-owned domestic subsidiaries;
earlier data include commercial banks only. Also, loans and investments
are now reported gross, without valuation reserves deducted, rather than
net of valuation reserves as was done previously. For a description of the
revision, see Aug. 1969 Bulletin, pp. 642-46. Data shown in that table
have been revised to include valuation reserves.

1 Beginning June 30, 1966, loans to farmers directly guaranteed by
CCC were reclassified as securities, and Export-Import Bank portfolio
fund participations were reclassified from loans to securities. This reduced
Total loans and increased “Other securities” by about $1 billion. Total
loans include Federal funds sold, and beginning with June 1967 securities
purchased under resale agreements, figures for which are included in
“Federal funds sold, etc.,” on p. A-22.
Beginning June 30, 1971, Farmers Home Administration notes are
classified as “Other securities” rather than “Loans.” As a result of this
change, approximately $300 million was transferred to “Other securities”
for the period ending June 30, 1971, for all commercial banks.
See also table (and notes) at the bottom of p. A-30.
2 See first two paragraphs of note 1.
3 Reciprocal balances excluded beginning with 1942.
4 Includes items not shown separately. See also note 1.
5 See third paragraph of note 1 above.
6 Beginning with Dec. 31, 1947, the series was revised; for description,
see note 4, p. 587, May 1964 Bulletin.
7 Figure takes into account the following changes beginning June 30,
1969: (1) inclusion of consolidated reports (including figures for all bankpremises subsidiaries and other significant majority-owned domestic
subsidiaries) and (2) reporting of figures for total loans and for individual
categories of securities on a gross basis—that is, before deduction of
valuation reserves—rather than net as previously reported.
8 Beginning Nov. 9,1972, designation of banks as reserve city banks for
reserve-requirement purposes has been based on size of bank (net demand
deposits of more than $400 million), as described in the Bulletin for
July 1972, p. 626. Categories shown here as “large” and “all other” parallel

the previous “reserve city” and “country” categories, respectively (hence
the series are continuous over time).
9 Regarding reclassification as a reserve city, see Aug. 1962 Bulletin,
p. 993. For various changes between reserve city and country status in
1960-63, see note 6, p. 587, May 1964 Bulletin. (See also note 8.)
10 Beginning May 6, 1972, two New York City country banks, with
deposits of $1,412 million, merged and were reclassified as a reserve city
bank. (See also note 8.)
N ote.—Data are for all commercial banks in the United States (includ­
ing Alaska and Hawaii, beginning with 1959). Commercial banks represent
all commercial banks, both member and nonmember; stock savings
banks; and nondeposit trust companies.
For the period June 1941—June 1962 member banks include mutual
savings banks as follows: three before Jan. 1960, two through Dec. 1960,
and one through June 1962. Those banks are not included in insured
commercial banks.
Beginning June 30, 1969, commercial banks and member banks exclude
a small national bank in the Virgin Islands; also, member banks exclude,
and noninsured commercial banks include, through June 30, 1970, a small
member bank engaged exclusively in trust business.
Comparability of figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by
changes in F.R. membership, deposit insurance status, and the reserve
classifications of cities and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
Data for national banks for Dec. 31, 1965, have been adjusted to make
them comparable with State bank data.
Figures are partly estimated except on call dates.
For revisions in series before June 30, 1947, see July 1947 Bulletin,
pp. 870-71.

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

7 Beginning with 1942, excludes reciprocal bank balances.
8 Through 1960 demand deposits other than interbank and U.S.
Govt., less cash items in process of collection; beginning with 1961,
demand deposits other than domestic commercial interbank and U.S.
Govt., less cash items in process of collection.
9 For reclassification of certain deposits in 1961, see note 6, p. 589,
May 1964 Bulletin.
10 Beginning June 30, 1969, reflects (1) inclusion of consolidated reports
(including figures for all bank-premises subsidiaries and other significant
majority-owned domestic subsidiaries) and (2) reporting of figures for
total loans and for individual categories of securities on a gross basis—that
is, before deduction of valuation reserves. See also notes 1 and 6.
11 Beginning Nov. 9,1972, designation of banks as reserve city banks for
reserve-requirement purposes has been based on size of bank (net demand
deposits of more than $400 million), as described in the Bulletin for
July 1972, p. 626. Categories shown here as “large” and “all other”

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

1 M argin credit includes all credit extended to purchase or carry stocks
or related equity instruments and secured at least in part by stock (see
Dec. 1970 Bulletin ). C redit extended by brokers is end-of-month data
for m ember firms o f the N YSE. June data for banks are universe totals;
all other data for banks represent estimates for all commercial banks
based on reports by a reporting sample, which accounted for 60 per cent
o f security credit outstanding at banks on June 30, 1971.
2 In addition to assigning a current loan value to m argin stock generally,
Regulations T and U perm it special loan values for convertible bonds and
stock acquired through exercise o f subscription rights.

3 N onm argin stocks are those not listed on a national securities exchange
and not included on the Federal Reserve System’s list of OTC margin
stocks. At banks, loans to purchase or carry nonmargin stocks are un­
regulated; at brokers, such stocks have no loan value.
4 Includes loans to purchase or carry margin stock if these are unsecured
or secured entirely by unrestricted collateral (see Dec. 1970 Bulletin ).
5 Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled com m itm ents
to the brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on dem and.

1 Equals net expenditures plus net lending.
2 The decrease in Federal securities resulting from conversion to private
ownership o f G ovt.-sponsored corporations (totaling $9,853 million) is
not included here. In the bottom panel, however, these conversions de­
crease the outstanding am ounts o f Federal securities held by the public
mainly by reductions in agency securities. The Federal N ational Mortgage
Association (FN M A ) was converted to private owership in Sept. 1968 and
the Federal intermediate credit banks (FICB) and banks for coopera­
tives in Dec. 1968.
3 Represents non-interest-bearing public debt securities issued to the
International M onetary Fund and international lending organizations.
New obligations to these agencies are handled by letters o f credit.




4 Includes accrued interest payable on public debt securities, deposit
funds, miscellaneous liability and asset accounts, and seigniorage.
5 As of Jan. 3, 1972, the Treasury operating balance was redefined to
exclude the gold balance and to include previously excluded “ Other deposi­
taries” (deposits in certain commercial depositaries that have been con­
verted from a time to a demand basis to permit greater flexibility in
Treasury cash management).
6 Includes debt of Federal home loan banks, Federal land banks, R .F .K .
Stadium Fund, FN M A (beginning Sept. 1968), FICB, and banks for
cooperatives (beginning Dec. 1968).
N ote.—Half years may not add to fiscal year totals due to revisions in
series which are not yet available on a monthly basis.

N ote.—Life Insurance Association o f America data for new commit­
ments o f $100,000 and over each on mortgages for multifamily and non­
residential nonfarm properties located largely in the United States. The 15
companies account for a little more than one-half o f both the total assets
and the nonfarm mortgages held by all U.S. life insurance companies.
Averages, which are based on number o f loans, vary in part with loan
composition by type and location o f property, type and purpose o f loan,
and loan amortization and prepayment terms. D ata for the following are

limited to cases where information was available or estimates could be
made: capitalization rate (net stabilized property earnings divided by
property value); debt coverage ratio (net stabilized earnings divided by
debt service); and per cent constant (annual level payment, including
principal and interest, per $100 o f debt). All statistics exclude construction
loans, increases in existing loans in a company’s portfolio, reapprovals,
and loans secured by land only.

m ent fees and FN M A stock purchase and holding requirements. Begin­
ning Oct. 18, 1971, the m aturity on new short-term commitments was

N ote.—Annual data are averages o f m onthly figures. The
H U D (FH A ) data are based on opinion reports submitted by field
offices on prevailing local conditions as o f the first o f the succeeding
month. Yields on FHA-insured mortgages are derived from
weighted averages o f private secondary m arket prices for Sec.
203, 30-year mortgages with minimum downpayment and an
assumed prepayment at the end of 15 years. Gaps in data are
due to periods o f adjustment to changes in maximum permis­
sible contract interest rates. The H U D (FHA) interest rates
on conventional first mortgages in primary markets are un­
weighted and are rounded to the nearest 5 basis points. The
FHLBB effective rate series reflects fees and charges as well
as contract rates (as shown in the table on conventional firstmortgage terms, p. A-35) and an assumed prepayment at end
o f 10 years.

1 Includes adjustments for differences in trading days.
2 N et changes in credit outstanding are equal to extensions less re­
payments, except in certain months when data for extensions and repay­
ments have been adjusted to eliminate duplication resulting from large
transfers o f paper. In those m onths the differences between extensions
and repayments for some particular holders do not equal the changes in




their outstanding credit. Such transfers do not affect total instalment
credit extended, repaid, or outstanding.
N ote.—Other financial lenders include credit unions and miscellane­
ous lenders. See also N ote to preceding table and footnote 1 at bottom o f p.

IM F operations. Does not include transactions in gold relating to gold
deposit or gold investment (see Table 6).

other members for equivalent am ounts o f d ollars; negative figures repre­
sent repurchase o f dollars, including dollars derived from charges on
purchases and from other net dollar income o f the IM F. The United
States has a commitment to repurchase within 3 to 5 years, but only to
the extent that the holdings o f dollars o f the IM F exceed 75 per cent o f

chase additional amounts equal to its quota.

scription was included in the U.S. gold stock and excluded from the

1966, to $6,700 million in Dec. 1970, and to $7,274 million in M ay 1972 as
a result o f the change in par value o f the U.S. dollar. U nder the Articles o f
Agreement, subscription payments equal to the quota have been made
25 per cent in gold and 75 per cent in dollars.
