BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.12

(For Immediate Release)

July 15» 1953

CHANGES IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS BY INDUSTRY
Moderate increases in loans to a majority of the business classifications were largely offset by declines of $20 million in loans to manufacturers
of metals and metal products and $17 million to the wholesale and retail trade,
with the result that the net increase in commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans during the week ended July 8 was only $>5 million.
Nearly half of the increase of $16 million in loans to manufacturers
of textiles, apparel, and leather was in the St. Louis District. The increase
of $8 million in loans to commodity dealers was the first weekly increase this
year in this business category; and the increase of $6 million in loans to
manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco was the third weekly increase since
J anuary.
Repayments during the week by manufacturers of metals and metal products were largely in New York and the repayments by the wholesale and retail
trade were largely in the San Francisco District,
