CHANGES IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS BY INDUSTRY
Net decreases of $87 million in loans to sales finance companies,
$72 million to manufacturers and producers of petroleum, coal, chemicals, and rubber
products, and $51 million to manufacturers of metals and metal products were the
principal factors in the net decrease of $210 million in commercial and industrial
loans at weekly reporting member banks during the week ended August 28.
Most of the remaining business categories also decreased, and the only
classified increases were $19 million in loans to public utilities and $15 million
to manufacturers of food, liquor, and tobacco products.
Changes in loans during the week and since mid-year are shown below; the
third column shows the changes during the comparable period last year.
