BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN MARCH 1963
Total commercial bank credit, seasonally adjusted, increased
substantially further in March and more than in most other recent months#
Holdings of U. S, Government securities rose substantially and loans and
holdings of other securities continued to expand. The money supply increased somewhat. Seasonally adjusted time and savings deposits at all
commercial banks continued to increase rapidly. Total reserves of member
banks declined less than usual. Free reserves were reduced somewhat.
Bank credit. Total loans and investments at all commercial banks,
seasonally adjusted, increased $2.7 billion in March, somewhat more than
the January-February average. Holdings of U. S. Government securities
declined much less than usual in March, and on a seas on allv adjusted basis,
rose $1.3 billion, thus accounting for about half the total credit growth. On
March 22, commercial banks were allotted about $700 million of the $1.5
billion June tax bills. In most other recent years, cash financing has not
occurred in March. Holdings of other securities increased further but
somewhat less rapidly than in January and February. Loans rose $1 billion
following a sharp rise in February which had reflected in part an unusually
large increase in security loans. Credit expansion was larger than usual
in March at both weekly reporting banks and at other banks.
Credit expanded more rapidly in the first quarter of 1963 than
in the fourth quarter last year. Total loans and investments rose $7.3
billion compared with $$.6 billion, or at an annual rate of 13 per cent
compared with 10 per cent. Holdings of U. S. Government securities
increased $2.6 billion in the early months of 1963 accounting for about
a third of the total credit growth; these holdings had declined slightly
in late 1962. Holdings of other securities also increased more rapidly.
On the other hand, the $3.2 billion growth in total loans was considerably
smaller than the $£.1 billion expansion in the fourth quarter of 1962.
Business loans rose at a considerably slower pace and real estate loans,
while continuing to show substantial growth, rose less rapidly than earlier.
Consumer loans and loans to noribank financial institutions increased at a
somewhat faster rate, however.
Business loans at all commercial banks showed little further
change in March following small increases in the earlier months of 1963.
Borrowing over the two tax and dividend payment weeks ending March 20
was smaller than in the corresponding weeks of other recent years.
Loans to finance companies, however, increased much more this year than
usual and combined business and financial borrowing was comparable with
that of past years. Corporate tax payments were about the same this
March as in March of other recent years. The dollar volume of securities
turned in for tax payments was larger, although the volume of outstanding
maturing tax anticipation bills was smaller.




Loans to most industry groups increased in March as is usual.
The expansion in loans to metals companies and to public utilities,
however, was considerably smaller than in most other recent years. On
the other hand, loans to the textile and petroleum industries and to
"other manufacturing and mining" concerns showed record growth. Loans to
food processors and to commodity dealers declined seasonally.
Seasonally adjusted security loans at all commercial banks
increased slightly further in March following a large rise in February.
At weekly reporting banks in leading cities, loans for purchasing and
carrying non-Government securities increased. Loans to Government
security dealers declined as substantial borrowing early in the month
associated with the Treasury1s refunding operations was more than
offset by subsequent repayments.
Loans to noribank financial institutions increased substantially
further on a seasonally adjusted basis at all commercial banks in March.
Consumer loans also continued to expand at a faster pace than in late
1962. Real estate loans showed further substantial growth.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted, increased $300 million between the second half of February and
the second half of March. The late March level was about 2—I/I4. per cent
higher than a year ago. Over the first quarter of 1963, the money
supply increased at an annual rate of about 1 per cent.
Time and savings deposits at all commercial banks, seasonally
adjusted, increased $1.^ billion between the second half of February and
the second half of March. This was about the same as the rapid average
expansion in other recent months. In the first quarter of 1963, growth
was at an annual rate of about 18 per cent and deposits in late March
were over 16 per cent higher than a year ago. In March, growth in
savings deposits at banks in leading cities was somewhat larger than
in other recent months and that in other time deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations, continued substantial.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of turnover of demand
deposits at banks in 3h3 centers outside New York declined slightly in
March to 31.9. Over the first quarter of the year, turnover averaged
only slightly above that of the fourth quarter of 1962 and about 5
per cent above the first quarter of 1962.
Bank reserves. Total reserves of member banks declined less
than usual in March. Excess reserves dropped to an average of $1|25>
million compared with
million in February. Borrowings from the
Reserve Banks also declined somewhat to $155 million. Accordingly,
free reserves averaged $270 million compared with #300 million in
February. At country member banks free reserves declined $50 million
but this was offset in part by a reduction in net borrowed reserves at
city banks. Required reserves declined slightly as a less-than-seasonal
reduction in reserves required against private demand deposits was offset in large part by increases in reserves required against time and
U. So Government deposits. The effective rate on Federal funds was at




3 per cent during March with the exception of three days around the
midmonth when it dropped slightly below. Over the monthj on an
average basiss reserves were abosrbed principally through currency
outflow and were supplied through an increase in float and through
System purchases of U„ S„ Government securities.

All series adjusted for seasonal variation by the X-9 variant of Method II developed by the Bureau
of the Census.

2/

Data are for demand deposits adjusted and currency outside banks and are as of the last Wednesday
of the month. In concept the figures agree with the daily average monty supply described in detail
in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for August 1962, p. 941, except that demand deposits held by mutual
savings banks and by savings and loan associations have been deducted to avoid double counting.
Demand deposits of commercial banks in Alaska and Hawaii are included beginning January 1959 and
August 1959, respectively, except that one national bank in Alaska and one national bank in Hawaii
were included in April 1954 and April 1959, respectively. Demand deposits due to banks in United
States possessions are included throughout.

2/

Total time deposits at commercial banks except interbank, U. S. Treasurer's open account, and
postal savings redeposited An commercial banks. Data are as of the last Wednesday of month except
June 30 and December 31 when call data for these dates were used when available. Time deposits
of commercial banks in Alaska and Hawaii and time deposits due to banks in U. S. possessions are
included as indicated for demand deposits in footnote 2 above.

y

Figures compiled by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation except that prior to 1955
data are Board estimates based on monthly figures of inflow of new savings and withdrawal of
savings capital compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.

<~J Includes all types of savings bonds held by investors other than commercial and mutual savings
banks and U. S. Government agencies and trust funds. Holdings of savings and loan associations

these institutions are available. Figures are from data compiled by the U. S. Treasury Department.
6/

Beginning December 1950 figures include Treasury marketable securities and Federal agency securities maturing within one year, except holdings of domestic commercial, mutual savings, and
Federal Reserve Banks, Government agencies and trust funds, and beginning February I960, savings
and loan associations. Figures have been adjusted to include partially tax-exempt securities 12
months prior to first eall date, and, prior to 1956, nonmarketable Treasury savings notes with
maturities up to 36 months. Prior to December 1950 figures for marketable issues include securities r-.al 1 ahl e within one year. Figures represent par value and are from the U. S. Treasury
Department's Survey of Ownership of U. S. Government Securities.
