ECONOMIC ACTIVITY is recovering from
the contraction caused by the steel strike.
Operations were resumed at major steel
plants on November 7 following the longest
steel work stoppage on record. Steel production is increasing rapidly but it will
take some time to rebuild depleted inventories.
Through September, activity was maintained in most metal-fabricating lines,
mainly by drawing on large steel stocks
accumulated earlier, and employment and
income curtailments were confined for the
most part to the industries involved in the
strike.
Beginning in October, secondary effects
spread more widely and by early November
the total number out of work because of
the direct and indirect effects of the steel
strike approached one million. The automobile industry has been seriously affected
by steel shortages. By mid-October, the
seasonally adjusted unemployment rate,
which excludes most persons on strike, had
risen to 6 per cent of the labor force. It
had been slightly under 5 per cent before
the strike.
Gross national product declined $6 billion, or 1.2 per cent, in the third quarter
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$478.6 billion, reflecting mainly the shift
from building up to drawing down of steel
stocks. Total business inventories declined
at an annual rate of $1 billion during the
quarter, in contrast with an increase at a
rate exceeding $10 billion in the second
quarter.

Fixed investment outlays by business continued to rise, although steel shortages
affected some producers' equipment and
construction projects. Residential construction activity, which had been at a record
level in the spring, declined moderately in
the third quarter. Mortgage lending, however, continued in large volume and pressures on mortgage markets increased.
Total consumer expenditures rose further in the third quarter, but at a reduced
rate. State and local government outlays
also increased, while Federal Government
purchases of goods and services changed
little. Exports continued the recovery that

1347

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • NOVEMBER 1959

began in the second quarter; the recent increase has reflected for the most part mounting economic expansion abroad. Imports
increased much less than in preceding
quarters.
Before the strike, economic activity had
been expanding rapidly. From the recession low in early 1958, gross national
product had risen 12 per cent before allowance for price increases, and 10 per cent
after such allowance. The gain in economic
activity on either basis was about as large
and as widespread as in the corresponding
phase of the 1954-55 cyclical recovery.
Wholesale prices have risen less while
consumer prices have risen more in this
cyclical recovery period than at the corresponding stage of the business upturn beginning in 1954. Consumer prices have moved
up to new highs. Retail food prices generally have tended downward this year, but
prices of other commodities have edged
persistently upward. Prices of services have
resumed a rapid rate of increase, following
some slackening in 1958.

of the postwar period, and the rate of accumulation in second quarter 1959 was
unprecedented except for the early Korean
War period. The shift accounted for $18
billion, or one-third of the total rise in gross
national product. In the third quarter,
nonfarm business inventories declined moderately. Steel strike influences contributed
to the rapid inventory increase in the second
quarter, and have dominated
recent
changes.
The recession decline in fixed business
investment in 1957-58 was the largest since
World War II, and recovery during 1958-59
—while generally strong—has not quite
matched that at the corresponding cyclical
periods in 1955 and 1950. Equipment outlays have risen nearly as rapidly as earlier,
but construction has lagged, as may be seen
in the upper chart on the opposite page.
These developments have reflected in part
larger margins of capacity relative to output in a number of lines than in 1955 or
1950.
Corporate profits rose from recession
lows to record rates by the second quarter
of 1959. Higher profits reflected increased
sales and lower labor costs per unit of out-

by manufacturers of durable goods. Inventories of durable goods held by wholesale and retail distributors as well as by
manufacturers increased rapidly, with automotive dealers accounting for a large part
of the rise. Stocks of new domestic autos
reached a new high of nearly one million
cars in July.
With the onset of the steel strike in midJuly, durable goods inventories began to
decline, both at manufacturers and distributors, as shown in the chart below. From
the end of July to the end of September,
liquidation of inventories held by manufacturers of durable goods was at an
annual rate of $7 billion. The bulk of this
decline reflected the run-off of steel stocks,
and this run-off continued in October
and November. In line with this development, part of the decline was also accounted

put. Profits fell considerably in the third
quarter, mainly in steel and related industries.
Inventories. Despite rapid recovery in
production after April 1958, nonfarm business inventories continued to decline until
the closing months of the year. Durable
goods inventories began to rise in late 1958
and increased sharply up to the beginning
of the steel strike. Moderate accumulation
of inventories of nondurable goods began
in the spring of 1959.
Inventory requirements accompanying
expanding sales by manufacturers of durable goods were reinforced in the first half
of 1959 by large accumulation of steel
and some other materials in anticipation
of strikes or higher prices. During
this period inventories of purchased materials accounted for four-fifths of the total
increase in book value of inventories held

dealers.
Fixed investment. Business fixed capital
outlays turned up in late 1958, and this
year the Commerce-SEC quarterly surveys
have indicated a progressive strengthening
of business fixed investment intentions.
Thus, the first estimates of total nonfarm
business outlays for new plant and equipment for 1959 as a whole—obtained in
the March survey—indicated a 4 per cent
rise from the sharply reduced 1958 level.
In the September survey, a rise of 9 per cent
was indicated, but this now appears higher
than can be achieved, owing to metal
shortages. The bulk of the increase in
total outlays this year has reflected purchases of new equipment, as indicated in
the upper chart on the preceding page.
Increases in fixed investment spending
have been widespread among major industries except public utilities, which since
early 1958 have held at levels above any
year before 1957. Expenditures by transportation and commercial companies have
shown large increases. Manufacturers have
increased their outlays for equipment much
more than their outlays for plant construction and have placed greater emphasis on
replacement and modernization than on
construction of new plants.
Recent trade reports and new orders for
machinery suggest further increases in
spending for fixed capital in 1960. According to the McGraw-Hill autumn survey, released on November 13, total spending for
plant and equipment by nonfarm businesses
in 1960 is expected to be 10 per cent higher
than this year's outlays. Most major industry groups are planning increases next
year, with manufacturers showing the
largest gain—19 per cent.




PERSONAL INCOME

Growth in personal income and in total consumption expenditures has been sustained
throughout the period since World War II.
Declines in recession have been small, and
prompt cyclical recovery has shaded quickly
into vigorous expansion.
Personal income increased rapidly
through June of this year. In that month,
personal income was at a record level, 8
per cent above the pre-recession peak in
mid-1957. Between June and October,
personal income declined slightly, for the
most part because of reduced wage and
salary disbursements in the steel and related industries and a continuing decline
in income of farm proprietors. Other types
of personal income changed little or continued to rise.

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN LATE 1959

count for two-thirds of total personal income, increased 12 per cent from early
1958 to June 1959. The rise reflected substantial gains in length of the workweek,
employment, and rates of pay. Business
and professional incomes and interest and
dividends also advanced over that period.
Transfer payments, which rose sharply
during the recession and early recovery period, have been stable since late 1958, at
a level slightly below their peak. Unemployment compensation payments were declining up to this summer as economic
activity expanded, but in September and
October they increased as a result of layoffs
associated with the steel strike. Meanwhile, payments under the Old Age and
Survivors Insurance Program have increased further this year as a result of continued growth in the number of beneficiaries
and a rise in average benefit payments, effective last January.
In contrast with strength, or stability,
in most other major income components, income of farm proprietors has been declining
steadily and is running about one-sixth
below a year earlier and about the same as
in 1957. The decline represents reduced
receipts from marketings, mainly because
of lower prices, a sizable drop in Government payments resulting from termination of the Acreage Reserve of the Soil
Bank, and increased production costs.
CONSUMER EXPENDITURES

From the recession low early in 1958
through the second quarter of 1959, personal consumption expenditures increased
$24 billion, annual rate, or 8 per cent, in
line with a similar relative gain in disposable
income. In constant dollars, total takings
were 5.5 per cent above the high in
the preceding cycle reached in the third

quarter of 1957. Population increased
about 3 per cent over this period, and per
capita real takings increased 2.5 per cent.
Retail sales reached a new high in July
and then declined 3 per cent between July
and September. For the third quarter as
a whole, consumer expenditures for goods
were about unchanged from the second
quarter level, while expenditures for services continued to advance. In October,
total retail sales increased, with auto sales
up substantially and most other sales little
changed from September.
Durable goods. Spending for durable
goods, in line with usual cyclical experience,
has made a substantial recovery, increasing
nearly one-fifth from the recession low in
early 1958. Accompanying the prompt and
strong revival in new residential construction, consumer spending for household
durable goods turned up beginning in mid1958.
Recovery in auto sales began in
late 1958, and in the second and third quarters of 1959 sales of new autos were at

1352

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN . NOVEMBER 1959

the highest rate since the end of 1955. In
October, when 1960 models were introduced and supply shortages appeared imminent, sales advanced to an exceptionally
high level. For the first time in six years,
new auto models were introduced at about
the same list prices as those on outgoing
models.
Sales of imported cars have continued
their rapid growth and in the first nine
months of the year were at an annual rate
of 600,000. Depending on supply availability through the remainder of 1959, total
sales of new domestic and imported autos
for the year as a whole may reach 6.3
million, compared with 4.7 million in 1958
and a record 7.5 million in 1955.
Increased consumer spending for household durable goods and autos this year has
been accompanied by a substantial rise in
instalment credit outstanding, following
declines during most of 1958. The monthly
increases since May, in dollar amount,
have approximated the advanced rates in
1955, although in percentage terms they
have been somewhat lower.
Nondurable goods and services. Consumer
expenditures for nondurable goods declined
less than one per cent during the 1957-58
recession and expanded rapidly in the
period of cyclical recovery and expansion.
Spending increased for all major types of
nondurable goods through the second
quarter of this year. Reflecting a large
rise in physical volume and somewhat
higher prices, outlays for clothing and shoes




were up 10 per cent. Food expenditures
increased 5 per cent. In the third quarter,
spending for food and clothing changed
little and changes for other nondurable
goods were relatively small and offsetting.
Consumer expenditures for services have
continued the rise that has prevailed
since World War II. This year's increase
has been at a more rapid rate than that
in 1958, reflecting mainly larger price increases for personal and recreation services
and for hospital and surgical care.
GOVERNMENT

EXPENDITURES

State and local government purchases of
goods and services have been rising since
World War II with little or no interruption
during periods of business recession. Much
of the increase has been in compensation
of employees and has stemmed from increased employment and higher rates of
pay. Larger outlays for construction of
schools and of highways, financed partly
with grants-in-aid from the Federal Government, have contributed to the steady
growth in total outlays. Transfer payments
by State and local governments, mainly for
pensions and public assistance, and interest
payments have also risen.
Federal Government purchases of goods
and services have changed little thus far
in calendar year 1959, following a sizable
advance last year. Outlays for national defense have been relatively stable, while
nondefense outlays have declined, particularly for agricultural programs.

Administrative interpretations, new regulations, and similar material

Amendment to Regulation R
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, effective October 23, 1959, amended
Section 2 of Regulation R, relating to relationships with dealers in securities under Section 32
of the Banking Act of 1933, so as to add the
obligations of the Central Bank for Cooperatives,
the Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Federal
National Mortgage Association to the list of obligations of Federal agencies now named in this
section of the Regulation which exempts relationships of officers, directors, or employees of member banks of the Federal Reserve System with
firms dealing only in certain types of obligations.
The provision of the Regulation as amended is as
follows:
Any officer, director, or employee of any corporation or unincorporated association, any partner or
employee of any partnership, or any individual, not
engaged in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public
sale, or distribution, at wholesale or retail, or through
syndicate participation, of any stocks, bonds, or other
similar securities except bonds, notes, certificates of
indebtedness, and Treasury bills of the United States,
obligations fully guaranteed both as to principal and
interest by the United States, obligations of Federal
Intermediate Credit banks, Federal Land banks, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan
banks, and the Federal National Mortgage Association, and general obligations of Territories, dependencies and insular possessions of the United States,
may be at the same time an officer, director, or employee of any member bank of the Federal Reserve
System, except when otherwise prohibited.
Order Under Section 3 of Bank Holding

STATEMENT

The Atlantic National Bank of Jacksonville
("National") and the Atlantic Trust Company
("Atlantic"), both of Jacksonville, Florida, at
times hereinafter referred to as "Applicants," have
applied, pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 ("the Act"), for
the Board's prior approval of the acquisition of
up to 37,900 of the 40,000 voting shares of a
proposed new bank, Southside Atlantic Bank,
Jacksonville, Florida ("Southside"). Both National and Atlantic are bank holding companies
under the Act since Atlantic (which is not itself a
bank) directly owns a controlling interest in 7
banks and all of Atlantic's outstanding stock is
held by trustees for the benefit of the stockholders
of National.
Views and recommendations of the Commissioner of Banking and the Comptroller of the
Currency.—One of the Applicants is a national
bank and the proposed bank is to be a Florida
State bank. Accordingly, as required by Section
3(b) of the Act, the Board gave notice of the
applications to the Comptroller of the Currency
and to the Commissioner of Banking for the State
of Florida. The Comptroller advised that careful
consideration had been given this proposal in the
light of the five factors set forth in Section 3(c)
of the Act and he recommended the Board's
approval of these applications. The Commissioner
advised that the proposal met with his approval
and he also recommended approval by the Board.
Statutory factors.—Section 3(c) of the Act requires the Board to take into consideration the
following five factors: (1) the financial history
and condition of the holding companies and the
bank concerned; (2) their prospects; (3) the
character of their management; (4) the convenience, needs, and welfare of the communities and
the area concerned; and (5) whether or not the
effect of the acquisition would be to expand the
size or extent of the bank holding company system
involved beyond limits consistent with adequate
and sound banking, the public interest, and the
preservation of competition in the field of banking.




Discussion.—Applicants operate 8 banks (including National) in 6 counties of the State of
Florida, with aggregate deposits of $324,602,000.
As of December 31, 1958, these banks represented
2.9 per cent of the total number, and held 7.2
per cent of the total deposits, of all banks in
Florida. Applicants presently have 3 banks in
Duval County (in which Jacksonville is located)
and one bank in each of 5 other counties, none
of which immediately adjoins Duval County. As
of June 10, 1959, there were 15 banks operating
in Duval County with total deposits of $604,389,000, of which Applicants' banks held $210,075,000 or 34.8 per cent.
Although the proposed site of Southside is referred to as being in Jacksonville, it is actually
about one-half mile south of the city limits of
Jacksonville, at the intersection of Emerson
Avenue and Phillips Highway, in an area designated as South Jacksonville. This area extends approximately 10 miles south and east of the downtown section of Jacksonville. The population of
Jacksonville as of January 1, 1959, has been estimated at approximately 235,000. An analysis of
relative growth shows that the population increase
in the city of Jacksonville has been at a much
slower pace than the growth elsewhere within
Duval County.
It appears that Southside's primary service area
would encompass a major portion of South Jacksonville, extending from the proposed location of
Southside approximately two miles to the St. Johns
River to the north, northwest, and southwest; beyond and somewhat parallel to U. S. Highway 90
to the northeast; and about four to seven miles to
the south and southeast. This area has an estimated population of between 15,000 and 20,000,
and presently no bank is located therein. Two
banks not connected with bank holding companies are located, respectively, about 2 miles and
3.5 miles to the northwest of Southside's proposed
site. The facts indicate that the over-all growth
and development in the South Jacksonville area
in the recent past has been greater in the designated primary service area of Southside than in
the remaining portion of South Jacksonville, and
the primary service area should enjoy a major
share of South Jacksonville's future growth.
With respect to the statutory factors that the
Board must consider in passing upon this application, it appears that the condition and prospects

LAW DEPARTMENT
of the holding companies are good and that their
managements are competent, and that Southside's
prospects would also be favorable and its management competent. The facts support the conclusion that establishment and operation of the bank
would contribute materially to the convenience of
present and future businesses and residents of the
portion of South Jacksonville to be served by the
new bank, especially in view of anticipated continued growth in that area.
It remains to be considered whether the proposed acquisition would expand the size or extent
of the holding company system beyond limits consistent with adequate and sound banking, the
public interest, and preservation of competition
in the field of banking.
The proposed acquisition would not significantly increase Applicants' percentages of control
of banking offices or deposits within the State of
Florida. It would cause Applicants to control 4
of 16 banks in Duval County and 4 of 15 banks
in the Jacksonville area. According to Applicants'
estimate of Southside's deposits at the end of its
first year of operation, an estimate that appears
reasonable in the judgment of the Board, the
acquisition would result in an increase in Applicants' percentage of control of total deposits of
banks from 34.8 per cent to 35.1 per cent in
Duval County and from 35.1 per cent to 35.5
per cent in the Jacksonville area; and it would
cause Applicants to control one of 3 banks in the
South Jacksonville area, with approximately 7
per cent of the total deposits of these 3 banks.
Applicants' present 3 banks in Duval County
are located, respectively, 3.8, 4.9, and 9.5 miles
from the site of the proposed new bank. The
nearest of these banks, and by far the largest, is
located in the downtown section of Jacksonville
and is in competition with 4 other downtown
banks, 2 of which are large banks.




1355
On the basis of these facts, it does not appear
that the proposed transaction would result in undue concentration of control of banking resources
by the Applicants in the relevant areas indicated
above.
The proposed transaction would not, in the
Board's judgment, have an adverse competitive
effect upon non-holding-company banks in the
areas concerned, in view of the distances of the
nearest of such banks from the proposed location
of Southside, the size of those banks, and the
present and probable future population of the
South Jacksonville area and, more particularly,
of Southside's primary service area.
On the basis of the entire record in this case,
the Board concludes that the proposed acquisition
would probably meet existing and potential needs
for banking services in, and materially contribute
to the convenience and welfare of, the communities and area concerned, and that the proposed
acquisition would not expand the Applicants' holding company system beyond limits consistent with
adequate and sound banking, the public interest,
and preservation of competition in the field of
banking.
Conclusion.—The above views were incorporated in the Tentative Statement issued in connection with the Notice of Tentative Decision published in the Federal Register on October 16, 1959
(24 FR 8423), affording interested persons an
opportunity to submit comments on, or objections
to, the Board's proposed action. Consideration
has been given to comments that have been received.
Viewing the relevant facts in the light of the
purposes of the Act and the factors enumerated
in Section 3(c) of the Act, it is the judgment of
the Board that the proposed acquisition would be
consistent with the statutory objectives and the
public interest and that, accordingly, the applications should be approved. IT IS SO ORDERED.

CHANGES IN BOARD'S STAFF

Harry E. Kern was appointed Assistant Director
of the Division of Administrative Services effective November 2, 1959, and Elizabeth L. Carmichael an Assistant Secretary of the Board
effective November 15, 1959.
Mr. Kern joined the Board's organization on
February 9, 1939, as an employee in the Office of

comprehensive information available from 1958
and other recent benchmarks.
The series has been expanded to include the
following: (1) estimated charge accounts outstanding on service station and miscellaneous
credit-card accounts and on home-heating-oil accounts, beginning with January 1947, and (2)
consumer credit statistics for Alaska and Hawaii
beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. Estimates of commercial bank holdings
of consumer goods paper other than automobile
have been increased as a result of reclassification
of this type of paper beginning with June 1956.
Estimates of repair and modernization loans have
been revised beginning with January 1958 to reflect an increase in the proportion of consumer
loans to total loans of this type.

National Summary of Business Conditions
Released for publication November 16

Industrial activity declined only slightly in October when the steel strike extended into its fourth
month, as metal consuming industries continued
to draw on inventories and imports of steel. Reductions in activity spread further in early November and while reactivation of the idle mills began
on November 7, recovery in output and employment in related industries will be limited until
steel supplies are available in volume. Retail sales
in October recovered to the July peak while the
number of housing units started dropped. The
money supply estimate for October was somewhat
lower than for September. Prices of basic industrial materials have continued to increase.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Preliminary estimates of industrial production
in October show a decline to 148 per cent of the
1947-49 average, one point below the revised
September figure and seven points below the peak
in June. Revision of one point in the September
index, up to the August level, reflected a revision
in output of nondurable goods to a new high. In
October, slight declines were indicated in both
durable and nondurable goods manufacturing.
Steel mill operations in October remained at
13 per cent of capacity but with the reopening of
steel mills, ingot output rose to 46 per cent in the
second week of November. Activity in the maINDUSTRIAL
1947-49-100

chinery industries declined only a little from the
September record level as output of most producers' durable equipment was maintained; steel
shortages curtailed output of some metal consuming industries such as farm equipment, structural
metal products, and major consumer appliances.
Auto assemblies rose more than seasonally from
September but output was limited by steel shortages in late October and was severely curtailed in
early November.
Production of textile and rubber products declined somewhat further in October and output of
most other nondurable goods changed little at
advanced levels. Minerals production remained
at reduced levels as work stoppages continued to
limit coal output and iron and copper ore mining.
EMPLOYMENT

Seasonally adjusted employment in nonfarm
establishments declined 163,000 in October to
52.0 million, reflecting mainly decreases in the
metal and metal fabricating industries. Employment also declined in the construction and service
industries but increased in trade and State and
local government. The number of persons unemployed, at 3.3 million in October, differed little
from September but since it usually declines, the
seasonally adjusted rate rose from 5.6 to 6.0 per
cent of the civilian labor force.

PRODUCTION

DISTRIBUTION

Seasonally adjusted retail sales rose 3 per cent
in October, to the peak rate of July, reflecting a
sharp expansion in auto sales after introduction of
the new models. With auto assemblies curtailed
in late October by steel shortages, dealer stocks
declined contra-seasonally. Stocks of other durable goods continued generally ample.

In mid-November, the level of wholesale commodity prices was unchanged from a month earlier, and also unchanged from a year earlier.

late October and early November, but prices of

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • NOVEMBER 1959

most fabricated materials and finished products
were stable. Meanwhile, prices of farm products
and foods continued to decline, reflecting mainly
further decreases in meats, and averaged 5 per
cent below a year ago. With market supplies increasing more than consumer demands, livestock
and meat prices have declined 10 to 15 per cent
over the year.
BANK CREDIT AND RESERVES

Total commercial bank credit increased in October as loans continued to expand and holdings
of U. S. Government securities also rose. The
seasonally adjusted active money supply declined
somewhat further but at the end of October was
about IVi per cent larger than a year earlier.
Member bank borrowings from the Federal Reserve averaged $835 million and excess reserves
$405 million in the four weeks ending November
11. Required reserves increased from mid-October to mid-November. Reserves were supplied

mainly by an increase in System holdings of
Government securities and gold stock.
SECURITY MARKETS

Yields on U. S. Treasury securities, which had
declined from mid-September highs, have increased somewhat since the third week in October.
Yields on State and local government bonds have
declined further while those on corporate bonds
have been relatively stable. Common stock prices
have shown little net change since mid-October.
In the third week of October the Treasury sold
for cash $2 billion of June tax anticipation bills.
In early November, it offered a new 43A per cent
certificate and a four-year 4% per cent note in
exchange for $3.8 billion of publicly held maturing securities. The new notes were also offered
in exchange to holders of a $2 billion note maturing in 1962 but, on 90 days' notice, redeemable
next February; $1.7 billion of the issue was exchanged.

receipt); (3) as security for outstanding silver certificates—silver in bullion
and standard silver dollars of a monetary value equal to the face amount
of such silver certificates; and (4) as security for gold certificates—gold
bullion of a value at the legal standard equal to the face amount of
such gold certificates. Federal Reserve notes are obligations of the
United States and a first lien on all the assets of the issuing Federal Reserve
Bank. Federal Reserve notes are secured by the deposit with Federal
Reserve agents of a like amount of gold certificates or of gold certificates
and such discounted or purchased paper as is eligible under the terms of
the Federal Reserve Act, or of direct obligations of the United States.
Each Federal Reserve Bank must maintain a reserve in gold certificates of
at least 25 per cent against its Federal Reserve notes in actual circulation. Gold certificates deposited with Federal Reserve agents as collateral, and those deposited with the Treasury of the United States as a
redemption fund, are counted as reserve. Gold certificates, as herein
used, includes credits with the Treasurer of the United States payable
in gold certificates. Federal Reserve Bank notes and national bank
notes are in process of retirement.

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

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

NOTE.—Beginning with the week ended July 8, 1959, changes in commercial and industrial loans exclude loans to sales finance companies
and certain other nonbank financial concerns (for description of revisions,
see BULLETIN for August 1959, p. 885.) Figures for earlier periods in the
last two columns have been adjusted only to exclude loans to sales finance
companies. Thus, these data are not strictly comparable with current
figures.

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




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

1 Includes 17 companies in groups not shown separately.
2 Includes 27 companies in groups not shown separately.
NOTE.—Manufacturing corporations. Data are obtained primarily
from published company reports.
Railroads. Figures are for Class I line-haul railroads (which account
for 95 per cent of all railroad operations) and are obtained from reports
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Electric power. Figures are for Class A and B electric utilities (which
account for about 95 per cent of all electric power operations) and are
obtained from reports of the Federal Power Commission, except that
quarterly figures on operating revenue and profits before taxes are partly
estimated by the Federal Reserve to include affiliated nonelectric operations.




Telephone. Revenues and profits are for telephone operations of the
Bell System Consolidated (including the 20 operating subsidiaries and
the Long Lines and General departments of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company) and for two affiliated telephone companies, which
together represent about 85 per cent of all telephone operations. Dividends are for the 20 operating subsidiaries and the two affiliates. Data
are obtained from the Federal Communications Commission.
All series. Profits before taxes refer to income after all charges and
before Federal income taxes and dividends. For detailed description of
series (but not for figures), see pp. 662-66 of the BULLETIN for June 1949
(manufacturing); pp. 215-17 of the BULLETIN for March 1942 (public
utilities); and p. 908 of the BULLETIN for September 1944 (electric power).
For back data for manufacturing, see pp. 792-93 of the BULLETIN for
July 1959; back data for other series are available from the Division of
Research and Statistics.

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

prior to 1957, small unclassified issues.

Includes urban redevelopment loans.

Beginning in 1957 this figure differs from that shown on the opposite
page, which is based on Bond Buyer data. The principal difference is in
the treatment of Federal Government loans.

the banks for cooperatives; Treasury compilations prior to 1956 classified
this item as an interagency asset.
NOTE.—Coverage has changed in some of the periods shown. Beginning with 1956, changes reflect the expanded coverage and the new
classification of activities by type of fund now reported in the Treasury
Bulletin. Classifications by supervisory authorities are those in existence
currently. Where current Treasury compilations do not provide a detailed breakdown of loans, these items have been classified by Federal
Reserve on basis of information about the type of lending activity involved.
For the most recent quarterly data by type of fund and activity, see
BULLETIN for August 1959, p. 1063.

as a result of the absorption of a mutual savings bank by a commercial
bank.

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

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

ber 1957, pp. 1420-22, and in this BULLETIN, p. 1418.
A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other
transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

Revised. See "Note" to table at top of p. 1396.
1 Includes data for Alaska and Hawaii beginning with January and
August
1959, respectively.
2
Data on extensions and repayments have been adjusted to avoid
duplications resulting from large transfers of other consumer goods paper.
As a result, the differences between extensions and repayments for some
types of holders do not equal the changes in outstanding credit.
3 As a result of changes indicated in note 1, the differences between
extensions and repayments for these two months do not equal the changes
in 4outstanding credit derived from the figures on pp. 1396-97.
Obtained^ by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in note 2.

NOTE.—Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-54 of
the BULLETIN for October 1956; for 1955-58, in the BULLETIN for Decem-

ber 1957, pp. 1420-22, and in this BULLETIN, p. 1419.
A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

• Estimated.
Preliminary.
Revised.
*1 Average per working day.
Indexes beginning with 1956 are based on data for 48 States from F. W.
Dodge Corporation, 1956-57= 100. Figures for earlier years are threemonth moving averages, based on data for 37 States east of the Rocky
Mountains, 1947-49= 100; the data for 1956 on this basis were: total,
268; residential, 271; and all other, 266. A description of the old index,
including seasonal adjustments, may be obtained from the Division of
Research and Statistics.

The indexes of employment and payrolls, wholesale commodity prices,
and consumer prices are compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Nonagricultural employment covers employees only and excludes personnel in the armed forces. The consumer price index is the revised series,
reflecting, beginning January 1953, the inclusion of some new series and
revised weights; prior to January 1953, indexes are based on the "interim
adjusted" and "old" indexes converted to the base 1947-49= 100.

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




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