In addition to the weekly table, a monthly table is attached showing
changes during July compared with the preceding month and with July 195'> ana
during the past 12 months.
In three business categories, July reflected a reversal of trends of
recent months. Loans to manufacturers of metals and metal products showed the
first monthly decrease this year, and loans to the wholesale and retail trade
showed a decrease for the first month since January; loans to commodity dealers
showed the first monthly increase this year. In each of these business categories the change during July was in the same direction as during July a year
ago.
Previous trends continued in loans to manufacturers of food, liquor,
and tobacco products; these loans decreased for the seventh consecutive month.
The increases in loans to manufacturers of textiles, apparel, and
leather products and to "other" manufacturers were not as large in July as in
June, but exceeded the increases in July a year ago. Loans to sales finance
companies increased in July, in contrast to a decrease in July 1952. Loans to
public utilities have shown but minor changes during the last two months.
During the past year, loans to sales finance companies and to manufacturers of metals and metal products have accounted for about one-half of the
total increase in commercial* industrial* and agricultural loans. Loans to e
wholesale and retail trade show the next largest increase.
