BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN JULY 1962

Total commercial bank credit, seasonally adjusted, declined
in July following substantial growth both in June and earlier in the
year. Holdings of U. S„ Government securities dropped but holdings
of other securities continued to expand rapidly. Total loans increased
slightly further with business, consumer, and real estate loans continuing to show moderate growth. The money supply declined somewhat
further while time deposits at commercial banks continued to rise.
U. So Government deposits declined. Total reserves and free reserves
of member banks increased.
Bank credit. Total credit at all commercial banks, seasonally
adjusted, declined $1.5 billion in July following an increase of almost
$3 billion in June. 1/ U. S. Government security holdings, unadjusted
for seasonal, declined slightly in July, whereas for seasonal reasons
they would be expected to rise, influenced in the past by large seasonal
Treasury financing operations in that month. This year, however, financing in July included only increases of $200 million in each weekly
bill issue. And after seasonal adjustment bank holdings of U. S. Government securities declined by about $3 billion.
Holdings of non-Government securities rose substantially
further reflecting in large part continuing bank purchases of Federal
agency issues. Total seasonally adjusted loans increased slightly
further but less than in other recent months. Business, consumer, and
real estate loans continued to show moderate growth but security loans
dropped sharply.
The decline in total credit in July occurred at weekly
reporting banks in leading cities. At other banks, total credit
appeared to grow about as usual. Changes in U. S. Government security
holdings at weekly reporting and other banks followed a pattern similar
to that in total credit. Holdings of other securities increased more
than they usually do at each group of banks. There was a fairly substantial decline in total loans at city banks as there has been four of
the past five years (1959 being the exception), while loans at other
banks showed little change, as is usual.

2/

Seasonally adjusted data for total bank credit and major components
were presented through June in the July 1962 Federal Reserve Bulletin.
Monthly data for July were shown in the Board's G.7 release, "Assets
and Liabilities of All Banks in the United States." Beginning next
month, the format of "Banking and Monetary Developments" will be
revised to incorporate those data and other changes.

So far this year, total bank credit, seasonally adjusted,
has increased $7.8 billion, or at an annual rate of 6.3 per cent.
This was slower than the rate of growth in 1961 but faster than usual
in the postwar period. Since March, however, there has been some
slowdown in credit expansion. During the first seven months, bank
credit at leading city banks fell much less than in other recent years
when it had declined—1955-57 and 1959-60? at other banks credit growth
has been larger than usual.
Loan growth was moderate over the entire January-July period
while holdings of non-Government securities increased rapidly, associated early in the period with purchases of municipal issues and more
recently with purchases of Federal agency issues. Holdings of U. S.
Government securities declined more than usual through July, wholly as
a result of experience during the last month.
Business loans at all commercial banks rose moderately further
on a seasonally adjusted basis in July. So far this year growth in
business loans has been at about the same rate as in i#6l but considerable below that in earlier periods of economic expansion.
Loan repayments by metals concerns in July more than offset
the smaller-than-usual rise in June. Loans to petroleum concerns
declined about as usual for this time of year. Net repayments by
food processors and net new borrowing by commodity dealers were also
about seasonal» Loans to public utilities increased slightly further
following a moderate rise in June. Loans to "other manufacturing"
groups, which had been increasing substantially earlier in the year
declined more than usual in July after allowance for one large lumber
loan included in the category.
Security loans declined substantially further on a seasonally
adjusted basis in July. Loans to U. S. Government security dealers
dropped almost steadily following mid-June tax and dividend borrowing.
Broker loans on other securities, which had been declining since early
May, dropped further in July. So far this year, seasonally adjusted
security loans have declined almost $1 billion—about the same as the
increase in 1961.
Real estate loans at all commercial banks continued to
expand substantially in July. So far this year these loans have increased at an annual rate of 12 per cent, only slightly below growth
in the comparable months of the two previous recoveries. Consumer
loans at all commercial banks rose further in July.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally
adjusted, declined $200 million further between the second half of
June and the second half of July. In late July, deposits and currency were somewhat below the late December level, over $1 billion
below the April peak, and about 2 per cent above the year-ago level.

Time and savings deposits at all commercial banks, seasonally
adjusted increased $700 million further in July, a somewhat smaller expansion than in May or June, At weekly reporting banks in leading cities,
savings deposits, which had picked up in late June following some slowdown in the spring, rose substantially further in July. Other time deposits, however, declined for the first time this year.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of demand deposit turnover
at banks in 343 centers outside New York increased to 32,3 (preliminary)
in July from 31*4 in June, After increasing in January, turnover showed
little further change in the first quarter, Since then it has been rising, however, and over the past four months has averaged 9 per cent above
the comparable months a year ago.
Bank reserves, Required and excess reserves of member banks
increased further in July. Excess reserves at $530 million were somewhat above the $4?0 million June average while borrowings at $90 million
were about unchanged. Free reserves averaged $445 million compared with
$370 million a month earlier. At central reserve and reserve city banks,
reserve positions shifted to free reserves from net borrowed reserves,
and at country banks, free reserves increased. The effective rate on
Federal funds was high during July and early August—seldom below 2-3/4
per cent and often at 3 per cent.
During July, on a daily average basis, reserves were absorbed
primarily through an increase in currency in circulation and an outflow
of gold. Reserves were supplied through an increase in float, which was
above seasonal levels throughout the month primarily because of the airline strike. In addition, other F. R. accounts declined reflecting in
part System purchases of foreign currencies. Federal Reserve holdings of
U. S. Government securities were about unchanged. Purchases were substantial in late June and early July, associated in part with turn-of-the-month
and holiday currency drains. Sales were heavy, however, around the midmdnth
when float increased sharply.
