In addition to the weekly table, a monthly table is attached showing changes during January compared with the preceding month, with January 1952, and with the past twelve months» In many respects, January reflected a reversal of previous trends. Loans to manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco products and to commodity dealers showed a monthly decrease for the first time since mid-year, and loans to manufacturers and producers of petroleum, coal, chemicals, and rubber products showed the first monthly decrease since May. Loans to manufacturers of textiles, apparel, and leather products, which had decreased during the past three months as well as in January a year ago, showed a small increase. Fol-^ lowing the rather sizable increase in December, loans to sales finance companies declined in January but by a considerably smaller amount than in January 1952. In some of the other business categories previous trends were continued. Loans to manufacturers of metals and metal products increased for the fifth consecutive month; loans to public utilities increased and loans to the construction industry decreased, both for the third consecutive month; and loans to the wholesale and retail trade decreased for the second consecutive month, but by a lesser amount than during January 1952.
