BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM H„12 (For Immediate Release) August 26, 1953 CHANGES IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL IOANS BY INDUSTRY Increases of $21 million in loans to manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco products, 620 million to public utilities, and %>13 million to manufacturers and producers of petroleum, coal, chemicals, and rubber products were the principal factors in the $28 million increase in commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans at weekly reporting member banks during the week ended August 19. Partially offsetting decreases included $15 million in loans to "other" types of business and $11 million to commodity dealers. Loans to manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco products increased for the third consecutive week. Most of the current increase was in the New York District, but there were smaller increases in all but two other districts.
