BANKING AND MONETA
ONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN JANUARY 196?

Total commercial bank credit, which had increased sharply in
December, declined in January, but net credit expansion over the two months
was larger than usual. Loan reductions in January reflected mainly repayments of temporary year-end borrowing by businesses, security dealers, and
finance companies * Holdings of U. S. Government securities increased® The
seasonally adjusted average money supply declined between the second half of
December and the second half of January following substantial growth in late
1961# Seasonally adjusted time deposits at commercial banks rose sharply
further in January when many banks raised rates paid on savings and other
time deposits. Total reserves and required reserves declined somewhat in
January but free reserves rose*
Bank credit* Total credit at all commercial banks declined $2©2
billion in January following a near-record growth of $4 billion in December,
The net credit expansion over the two months was about the same as in the
comparable period last year but considerably larger than in other recent
years; in some years credit has declined between late November and late
January. Part of the 1961-62 increase was associated with bank acquisitions of new Treasury issues offered in January, but there had also been
cash financing in January of several other recent years.
The expansion over the two months was much larger relative to other
recent years at weekly reporting banks in leading cities than at other banks0
At nonweekly reporting banks, credit usually increases in these two months
and this year's increase, while large and about the same as last year's,
did not substantially exceed that of several earlier years•
Total loans at all commercial banks declined $3 billion in
January following a slightly larger December rise. Loan repayments were
concentrated in the business, security, and finance company categories
where most of the December borrowing had occurred. The $200 million net
increase in total loans between late November and late January contrasted
with a $600 million decline in the comparable two months last year. Growth
was much smaller, however, than in the two months ending January 1955,
1956, and 1959; years of rapid economic expansion.
Holdings of U. S. Government securities increased $600 million
further in January© Last year, holdings had increased $900 million, but
often Governments have declined in this month even when there had been
Treasury financing. On January 15, commercial banks were allotted about
$1.1 billion of the new $2 billion special Treasury bills to replace the
$1.5 billion maturity of that date, of which banks held about $200 million.

On January 2k, commercial banks were allotted $800 million of the $1 billion
reopened Treasury bonds of 1969. At both weekly reporting and at other banks,
the December-January increase in holdings of U. S. Government securities was
relatively large compared with most other years.
Holdings of other securities increased $100 million further at all
commercial banks in January; they declined $100 million at weekly reporting
city banks but rose $200 million at other banks, largely late in the month.
Changes in January are generally small. Press reports indicate that banks
may have purchased newly issued municipal securities in fairly heavy volume
in January, associated in part with the sharp rise in time deposits. Delivery of such securities into bank portfolios, however, usually occurs some
time after their purchase.
Business loans at all commercial banks declined $1 billion in
January following a record $900 million increase in December. The $100
million net decline over the two months was relatively small. In the two
months ending January 1954, 1958, and 1961, the net reductions had been
$800 million or more# Only in the 1955-56 period had these loans increased
and then very slightly. In the week of January 3 there was substantial term
borrowing (around $200 million) associated with the purchase of the assets of
Republic Natural Gas Company, but even if this transaction is excluded, the
recent net decline in business loans is about the same as that of the 195859 and 1954-55 periods.
Loans to food processors, commodity dealers, and trade concerns
declined about seasonally in January accounting for about half of the total
business loan reduction at city banks. Net loan repayments by metals manufacturers, petroleum processors, and public utilities were each larger than
in any other recent year and larger than net new borrowing in December.
Loans to textile manufacturers began to increase seasonally in January and
loans to "other manufacturing and mining industries" increased further as
a result of the term lending mentioned earlier. "All other business" loans,
which had increased sharply in December, declined moderately in January,
i"®flGoting on balance, reductions in holdings of bankers' acceptances at
banks in New York City.
Security loans declined $1,2 billion in January, somewhat more than
usual, and $300 million more than the December rise. Loan repayments on
U. S. Government securities accounted for about two-thirds of the total and
were larger than net new borrowing on such securities in December. Repayments
on other security loans about offset the previous month's borrowing.

Loans to nonbank financial institutions declined $800 million in
January following a larger-than-usual $900 million increase in December,
In the two previous years, the early year decline had exceeded the previous
December1s rise. Real estate loans increased moderately further in January,
Consumer loans declined slightly as is usual» Agricultural loans increased
more than usual for this month reflecting expansion in CCC loans.
Deposit ratios. The ratio of total loans to total deposits at
all commercial bank;; c oclined slightly in January to $4,2 per cent from
5^*6 per cent in December. This ratio has shown little change over the
past year. The ratio of U, S, Government securities maturing within one
year to total deposits increased slightly to 10,7 per cent in December from
10,4 per cent in November, (Data for January not yet available). Banks
purchased short—term securities in December, and in addition, securities
moved into this area as a result of the passage of time. This ratio is
somewhat above its year-ago level but somewhat below its recent peak reached
around midyear.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted,
declined $1,1 billion between the second half of December and the second
half of January, following substantial growth in late 1961, At the end
of January the money supply was about 2-1/4 per cent above its year-ago
level. Over 1961, money supply increased 3-1/2 per cent, but in the last
four months of the year, growth was at an annual rate of almost 8 per cent.
Time deposits at all commercial banks, seasonally adjusted,
increased $2,2 billion in January, twice as much as in any month in I96I,
This sharp expansion was associated with increased rates paid on savings and
other time deposits by many banks. Substantial growth occurred both at
weekly reporting banks in leading cities and at other banks. At weekly
reporting banks, savings deposits and other time deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations, each accounted for somewhat over two-fifths
of the month's rise and deposits of States and political subdivisions for the
remainder. At large banks in New York and Chicago, negotiable time certificates of deposit, which had begun to decline in December, dropped further
in early January when other deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations were increasing sharply; these certificates began to increase
substantially again in mid-January, however, and by early February were close
to their early December level.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of demand deposit turnover at
banks outside New York and other financial centers increased to 27,4 in
January from 25#9 in December. Over the past four months ending in January,
turnover has averaged over 4-l/2 per cent above the comparable period a
year ago.

^Jik reserves. Total reserves and required reserves of member
banks declined somewhat in January while excess reserves rose. Member
bank borrowings from the Federal Reserve were reduced, and free reserves
increased to an average level of $535 million compared with $425 million in
December. Reserve positions were easier at central reserve city banks
m New York and Chicago in January than they had been in December when a
relatively substantial volume of net borrowed reserves had developed, but
they were little different at other banks. The effective rate on Federal
funds was generally high in early-and-mid-Januaiy, 2-3/4 - 3 per cent on
several days. Subsequently, it declined and remained relatively low through
most of late January, generally at 2 per cent or below.
During December, on a daily average basis, reserves were supplied
principally through currency inflow. They were absorbed through reductions
in float and some further decline in gold stock. Float, which had increased
to a record level in December, remained at a higher-than-usual average level
in January; by the late-Januaiy-early February-period, however, it had declined to about the normal volume. Federal Reserve holdings of U. S.
Government securities were reduced $580 million in January, all in outright
noldiii^s c

Board.

and local governments, nonbank corporations, corporate pension funds, non-profit institutions, foreign accounts, and individuals; prior to May 1953 includes securities
callable within one year.
Gross national product estimates are available quarterly and annually only. For 195058 ratios are for last quarter of year; for 1959 and I960, for each quarter of year.

quarter.

time deposits adjusted (before seasonal adjustment) was increased by $1.5 billion due
to the reclassification of deposits of foreign official institutions which formerly
were grouped with interbank deposits and excluded from demand and time deposits adjusted.
