Although changes during October were in the same direction as in October 1956 in all but one of the industrial classifications, current decreases were generally larger and the increases smaller, and net change was a decrease instead of an increase as reported in October 1956. The decreases in loans to "other" manufacturing and mining and to sales finance companies were the largest monthly decreases in these categories since the series was started in 1951J and the decrease in loans to manufacturers of textiles, apparel, and leather products was the largest since October of that year.
