BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN JANUARY 1961
Bank credit* Total c r e d i t a t a l l commercial banks declined $2.1
b i l l i o n i n January, following a $3.8 b i l l i o n r i s e i n Decenfcer, a postwar
record expansion. The January reduction, which was mostly a t weekly
reporting banks i n leading citiest, was smaller than t h e sharp declines in
t h e comparable periods of I960 f 1958# and 1957> but l a r g e r than i n most
other y e a r s . The loan decline of $3 b i l l i o n in January probably exceeded
t h a t of any past year, but i t followed r e l a t i v e l y l a r g e December loan
growth, l a r g e l y in s e c u r i t y and finance company borrowing.
Holdings of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s increased $900 million
in January, l a r g e l y in Treasury b i l l s . Usually Government s e c u r i t y holdings
have declined i n t h i s month, even i n some cases where there has been subs t a n t i a l Treasury cash financing. In January 1961, the weekly Treasury
b i l l i s s u e was increased by $100 million on the 19th and by $200 million
on the 26th (not included in the January reporting period) • Bank holdings
of other s e c u r i t i e s continued to r i s e in January.
Business loans a t a l l commercial banks declined $1 b i l l i o n in
January, somewhat more than l a s t year but about i n l i n e with reductions
in the 1957-59 p e r i o d . However, business borrowing i n December and i n
the second half of I960 had been smaller than usual. About t h r e e - f i f t h s
of the t o t a l decline a t weekly reporting banks was in n e t loan repayments
by food processors and trade concerns which were l a r g e r than u s u a l .
Loans t o metals manufacturers, which had increased temporarily i n December,
declined by a record amount in January. However, loans t o petroleum and
chemicals companies rose more than i n any other year. Loans t o " a l l other
businesses", including those to t h e service i n d u s t r i e s , increased whereas
they have always declined in t h i s period b e f o r e .
Loans to nonbank f i n a n c i a l i n s t i t u t i o n s declined $900 million
i n January more than o f f s e t t i n g t h e unusually l a r g e December r i s e
associated with t a x related borrowing by finance companies. Security
loans declined $800 million in January, about o f f s e t t i n g t h e record
December r i s e . Government s e c u r i t y dealers who had accounted f o r most
of the December r i s e , accounted f o r s l i g h t l y over half the January d e c l i n e .
Real e s t a t e loans dropped somewhat f u r t h e r a t c i t y banks i n
January and probably showed l i t t l e f u r t h e r change a t other banks. Growth
i n these loans i n the second half of I960 had been unusually small.
Consumer loans a t a l l commercial banks probably declined moderately in
January through the 25th (the end of the banking reporting p e r i o d ) . On
January 31# these loans rose $1.1 b i l l i o n r e f l e c t i n g mainly t h e s a l e of
customer accounts receivable by Sears Roebuck, who placed most of the
funds i n time c e r t i f i c a t e s of deposit.

Deposit r a t i o s . The r a t i o of t o t a l loans t o t o t a l deposits
a t a l l commercial banks declined f a r t h e r t o 5k«5 p e r cent i n January
from 5 5 * 5 per cent i n December. The r a t i o declined a t a l l c l a s s e s of
banks but e s p e c i a l l y r a p i d l y a t c e n t r a l reserve c i t y banks i n New York,
At a l l commercial banks, the r a t i o i s now a t about t h e same l e v e l as i n
January I960; i t had reached a peak of 57.1 per cent i n June. Compared
with a year ago, r a t i o s are much lower a t c e n t r a l reserve c i t y banks i n
New York, about the same a t c e n t r a l reserve c i t y banks in Chicago and a t
reserve c i t y banks, and somewhat higher a t country banks. The r a t i o of
U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s maturing within one year t o t o t a l deposits
rose f u r t h e r t o 8.3 per cent, the highest l e v e l since the end of 1958.
Money supply. The d a i l y average money supply increased $560
million on a seasonally adjusted b a s i s between the second h a l f of December
and the second h a l f of January. This followed a r i s e of $600 million
i n the comparable period a month e a r l i e r . Since t h e June low, the money
supply has increased a t an annual r a t e of about 2 per cent but i t i s s t i l l
$300 million below January a year ago. The seasonally adjusted l a s t
Wednesday of #onth money supply s e r i e s increased #1.6 b i l l i o n i n January
and i s now $1*00 million above the year-ago l e v e l .
U. S. Government deposits a t commercial banks declined #2.1*
b i l l i o n between t h e l a s t Wednesday of December and the l a s t Wednesday of
January, considerably more than u s u a l . These deposits had increased in
December whereas often they decline i n t h a t month.
Continuing rapid growth t h a t began around mid-1960, seasonally
adjusted time deposits a t a l l domme r c i a l banks increased $700 million
f u r t h e r i n January. Since June, they have been increasing a t an awrm»T
r a t e of lit per c e n t .
Deposit turnover. The seasonally adjusted annual r a t e of demand
deposit turnover a t b a n k s o u t s i d e New York and other f i n a n c i a l centers
increased from 25.1 per cent i n December t o 25.8 per cent (preliminary)
i n January. This was about 3 per cent above the l e v e l in January I960.
Over I960, on t h e average, turnover increased 5 per c e n t , but i n t h e
l a t t e r p a r t of the year i t had tended to recede somewhat from e a r l i e r
highs.
Bank reserves. Member bank reserve p o s i t i o n s remained easy i n
January, with f r e e reserves averaging $695 million about t h e same as i n
December. By c l a s s of bank, as w e l l , there was l i t t l e change i n reserve
positions in January. During the weeks ending February 1 and 8, however,
the l e v e l of f r e e reserves propped t o an average of $M5 m i l l i o n .




During January, on a d a i l y average b a s i s , reserves were supplied
p r i n c i p a l l y by a $755 million inflow of currency from c i r c u l a t i o n .
Reductions i n Treasury deposits a t the Reserve Banks and i n nanmember
deposits and other F. R. accounts a l s o supplied r e s e r v e s . Required
reserves increased $55 m i l l i o n , whereas u s u a l l y they decline i n t h i s month.
Reserves were absorbed i n January by a $210 million reduction i n f l o a t ,
only about half the December r i s e . Gold stock declined f u r t h e r by
#390 m i l l i o n . Federal Reserve holdings of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s
were reduced $30$ m i l l i o n , a considerably smaller decline than u s u a l .
