M Y I96I

• Consumer instalment credit outstanding at commercial banks at
the end of May is estimated at ;16,7?6 million, the same as for the end
of April. The decrease in other consumer goods paper, which offset increases in other types of credit, was due- principally to repayments on
the large purchase of paper made in January.
Extensions of credit were 3173 million larger in May than in
April, representing increases in all types of credit. Increases in automobile paper accounted for nearly two-thirds of the monthly expansion.
