JAHKMB ASP MOKETAET DEVELOPMENTS IN DECEMBER I960
W

Bank c r e d i t . T o t a l c r e d i t a t a l l commercial banks increased
$3.8 b i l l i o n in December, probably a postwar record expansion f o r t h i s
month. Loans rose by a near record $2.4 b i l l i o n , mainly temporary tax
and dividend r e l a t e d borrowing by s e c u r i t y dealers and finance co%#anles.
Holdings of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s rose $900 m i l l i o n , somewhat more
than usual, in s p i t e of the f a c t t h a t t h e r e was no Treasury cash financing
as f r e q u e n t l y occurs in December. A l l the increase was in issues maturing
within one y e a r . Holdings of other s e c u r i t i e s a l s o rose more than in
December of other recent y e a r s . This y e a r ' s accelerated increase in
investment holdings was concentrated a t weekly reporting banks in leading
c i t i e s . Loan expansion was r e l a t i v e l y strong a t both c i t y and outside
banks•
Since June, t o t a l loans and investments a t a l l commercial banks
have increased $11*2 b i l l i o n , about twice as much as in most other recent
years and somewhat more than the previous record growth in the comparable
period of 195%. Over 60 per cent of the t o t a l expansion was in holdings
of U. S . Government s e c u r i t i e s , which rose a record amount. Holdings of
other s e c u r i t i e s showed near-record growth. Loan expansion, however, was
smaller than in any other recent year except 1957* The sharp expansion
in c r e d i t in the second half of i960 was concentrated a t banks in leading
c i t i e s . At banks outside leading c i t i e s , c r e d i t growth was s u b s t a n t i a l ,
but not as large as i n the comparable period of 1958. At both groups of
banks, a d d i t i o n s t o investment holdings accounted f o r t h e g r e a t e r p a r t
of the expansion.
Over the year i960 t o t a l c r e d i t expansion exceeded $8 b i l l i o n ,
or somewhat more than half the record r i s e of $15 b i l l i o n in 1958. The
sharp second-half r i s e followed a larger-than-usual reduction e a r l y in
the y e a r . Loan growth t o t a l e d nearly $6 b i l l i o n , about half t h a t of the
previous year, with a l l major categories of loans showing smaller increases.
Business loans a t a l l commercial banks increased $300 million in
December, considerably l e s s than in the same month of other recent y e a r s .
Midmonth tax and dividend borrowing was l a r g e r than l a s t year but so were
net repayments e a r l y and l a t e in December. Corporate tax payments during
December were about the same as in December 1959 but t h e r e were no m t u r i n g
tax b i l l s t o apply against t h i s y e a r ' s taxes as t h e r e were a year ago. In
December, loans t o food processors and commodity dealers increased about
as usual while seasonal repayments by t r a d e concerns were l a r g e r than usual.
Loans t o metals companies and public u t i l i t i e s rose l e s s than in December
of other recent y e a r s , while loans t o petroleum and chemicals companies
rose more. Loans t o t e x t i l e manufacturers continued t o show a more-thanseasonal d e c l i n e .
Since June, business loans have increased only $500 million
compared with $2.4 b i l l i o n l a s t year and $3.7 b i l l i o n in 1955. I n the f i r s t
half of i960, growth in business loans had been only s l i g h t l y l e s s than in
the f i r s t h a l f of 1959 and 1955• Over the second h a l f of i960, seasonal
borrowing by food processors and commodity dealers was close t o the average

of previous years but t h a t by t r a d e concerns was l e s s , Metals companies
reduced bank loans by a record amount f o r the p e r i o d . Loans t o t e x t i l e
manufacturers rose more than usual, but loans t o petroleum and chemicals
companies and public u t i l i t i e s rose l e s s .
Loans t o noribank f i n a n c i a l i n s t i t u t i o n s rose $800 m i l l i o n in
December, about the same as l a s t year but more than in December of most
other recent y e a r s . Most of the r i s e was in loans t o finance companies,
which generally borrow from banks a t t h i s time of year t o r e t i r e open
market paper held by nonf inaneial corporations. Since June,
to
finance companies have declined somewhat conpared with increases in most
other y e a r s . This y e a r ' s reduction has been associated with s u b s t a n t i a l
c a p i t a l market financing by these i n s t i t u t i o n s .
Security loans increased $900 million in December, a l a r g e r
increase than u s u a l . Most of the r i s e was in loans t o Government s e c u r i t y
dealers which rose sharply in mid-December when corporations were s e l l i n g
s e c u r i t i e s t o meet t a x and dividend payments. The $1.3 b i l l i o n r i s e since
midyear has exceeded tfcat of any other comparable period, but the $ 1 . 1
reduction in the f i r s t half of i960 had a l s o been unusually l a r g e .
Consumer loans increased moderately f u r t h e r in December bringing
the t o t a l r i s e since June t o $400 million, l e s s than half as much as the
sharp increases in t h e comparable months of 1959 and 1955 but about the
same as in other recent y e a r s . F i r s t h a l f expansion had a l s o been below
t h a t of 1959* Beal e s t a t e loans declined f u r t h e r in December a t c i t y banks
but probably continued t o expand slowly a t banks outside leading c i t i e s .
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 was about unchanged in December a t 55.5 per c e n t . I t
had a l s o shown l i t t l e change in November following some decline from the
e a r l y summer peak. 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 . 1 per cent in November.
This r a t i o has been r i s i n g s t e a d i l y since June and i s now higher •hVm a t
any other time since l a t e 1958.
P e g °
and currency. The d a i l y average money s u p p l y increased
?o00 million on a seasonally adjusted b a s i s between the second h a l f of
November and the second half of December. This followed a decline of $1.3
b i l l i o n in t h e comparable period a month e a r l i e r . Since June, t h e money
supply has Increased a t an annual r a t e of 1 - 1 / 2 per cent but the current
l e v e l Is s t i l l almost 1 per cent below t h e l e v e l a year ago. The seasonally
adjusted l a s t Wednesday of month money supply s e r i e s increased $200 m i l l i o n
in December, a l s o following a s u b s t a n t i a l decline in November. Over t h e
year, i t has declined $1.2 b i l l i o n or almost 1 per c e n t .
s l t s

Time deposits a t commercial banks increased s u b s t a n t i a l l y f u r t h e r
in December (estimated through December 31), bringing the increase since
"to about fif b i l l i o n , a record growth f o r the p e r i o d . Over the year
190O, the $5.6 b i l l i o n r i s e in these deposits was below t h e record $7 b i l l i o n
increase of I958, r e f l e c t i n g r e l a t i v e l y small growth in t h e f i r s t half of
the y e a r . Deposit growth a t mutual savings banks in recent months has been
considerably l a r g e r than l a s t year and somewhat l a r g e r than in most other

years although not of record proportions. Over t h e year as a whole, however,
these deposits Increased somewhat l e s s than In a l l other recent years except
1959. Savings and loan shares Increased an estimated $7.5 b i l l i o n in i960,
s u b s t a n t i a l l y more than in any previous y e a r .
Deposit t u r n o v e r . The seasonally adjusted annual r a t e of demand
deposit turnover a t banks outside Hew York and other f i n a n c i a l centers
declined from 26.2 in November t o 25*1 (preliminary) in December. This was
about 1 per cent above the l e v e l in December 1959. Over the p a s t six months,
however, turnover has averaged 4 per cent above t h e comparable period l a s t
year.
Bank r e s e r v e s . Member bank reserve p o s i t i o n s eased f u r t h e r in
December and f r e e reserves rose t o $6?0 million from $615 m i l l i o n in November.
Average excess reserves remained a t $760 m i l l i o n while borrowings declined
t o $90 m i l l i o n . Free reserves a t both reserve c i t y and country banks increased
somewhat in December.
During December, on a d a i l y average b a s i s , reserves were supplied
by an increase of # 2 0 million in Beserve Bank f l o a t bringing t h e December
l e v e l somewhat above t h a t of other recent y e a r s . Cash allowed as reserves
increased $1.3 b i l l i o n r e f l e c t i n g , on a carry-over b a s i s , the November 24
Federal Beserve Board a c t i o n authorizing banks t o count a l l v a u l t cash in
meeting reserve requirements. Be serves were absorbed p r i n c i p a l l y by a currency outflow of $545 m i l l i o n and a reduction of $625 m i l l i o n In System holdings of U. S. Government s e c u r i t i e s . Gold outflow continued heavy but was
o f f s e t in p a r t by a gold purchase of $300 million from the I n t e r n a t i o n a l
Monetary Fund e a r l y in t h e month. There were a l s o small drains from other
f a c t o r s . Bequired reserves increased $265 m i l l i o n ; a sharp increase a t the
mldmonth associated with c r e d i t expansion around t h e t a x date was o f f s e t in
p a r t by reductions e a r l y in the month. A small p a r t of t h e r i s e i n required
reserves r e f l e c t e d the carry-over e f f e c t of the increase in reserve r e q u i r e ments a t country banks on November 24 o f f s e t in p a r t by the reduction in
reserve requirements a t c e n t r a l reserve c i t y banks on December 1.
