Increases of $6U million in loans to sales finance companies, $1*3
million to manufacturers of metals and metal products, $35 million to manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco products, and $23 million to commodity
dealers, were partly offset by decreases of $52 million each in loans to the
wholesale and retail trade and in unclassified loans. The net increase in
commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans at weekly reporting member
banks was $72 million during the week ended December 2ij,
After decreasing during the two previous weeks, loans to commodity
dealers again increased; most of the increase was in the New York District
but it was also reflected in six other districts.
The trade decrease was largely in loans to the retail trade in the
New York and Chicago districts; it was the largest weekly decrease for nearly
a year,
Loans to manufacturers of textiles, apparel, and leather products
decreased for the sixth consecutive week; decreases were reported in nine of
the districts.
Changes in loans during the week and since mid-year were as follows:
