Bank credit. Total credit at all commercial banks increased
about #1.5 billion in May# whereas generally there is a small decline
in this month. Increased holdings of U. S. Government securities
accounted for about half the rise. Holdings of Governments have
generally declined in May, including years in which there was Treasury
cash financing. Preliminary data indicate that in the May 15 financing
allotments of new certificates and notes to commercial banks may have
exceeded their holdings of maturing issues by over $1 billion while
allotments to all other investors were $$00 million less. Total loans
increased around $600 million, about the same as last year. The large
contraseasonal rise in total credit in May was mainly at weekly reporting banks in leading cities, but growth at nonweekly reporting banks
also was somewhat larger than usual.
So far this year, credit at all commercial banks has shown
little over-all change. In every other year since the early fifties,
with the exception of 1958 when there was a sharp rise due to heavy
acquisitions of U. S. Government securities, credit has declined in a
range of $$00 million to $3.5 billion. This year's loan reduction has
been substantial although less than in 1958. U. S. Government securities have increased somewhat whereas generally they declined sharply.
Holdings of other securities have increased in near-record volume. A
small January-May credit reduction at city banks contrasts with a usual
sharp drop in this period, except for 1958, while moderate credit growth
at other banks is similar to most other years.
Business loans at all commercial banks declined about $200
million further in May, the same as in May of 1958 and 195b. In other
recent years, business loans have increased in this month. So far this
year, net repayments of business loans, $1.2 billion, have been about
the same as in 1958 and 195k whereas in other past years, on the average,
business loans have increased about $1 billion. Reductions in loans to
food processors and, commodity dealers and increases in loans to trade
concerns appeared to be about, seasonal in May 1961. Net repayments by
metals manufacturers, petroleum and chemicals concerns, and public
utilities were unusually heavy, however, reflecting in part capital
market financing. On the other hand, increases in loans to construction firms were larger than in any other year.
Loans to nonbank financial institutions increased slightly
in May, following an unusually sharp decline earlier in the year.
Often, loans to finance companies decline in May. Security loans also
increased slightly in May. Brokers' loans and loans to others against
stock market collateral, which had increased sharply in April with the
expiration of AT&T rights, rose somewhat further in May and more than
offset a reduction in loans to U. S. Government security dealers.

Real estate loans at all commercial banks may have increased
about seasonally in May. Growth at city banks, which had begun in
April, continued. So far this year, there has been a moderate increase
at all commercial banks. Consumer loans at all commercial banks increased slightly, and less than usual, in May, exclusive of estimated
liquidation of the Sears' transaction. These loans have declined
slightly so far this year, just as in the January-May 1958 and 19%k
periods.
Deposit ratios. The ratio of total loans to total deposits
at all commercial banks increased slightly in May to 55*7 per cent, but
remained close to the level of the past four months. The ratio of U. S.
Government securities maturing within one year to total deposits increased sharply in April (May data not yet available) to 9.3 per cent,
reflecting principally acquisitions of Treasury bills.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally
adjusted, declined fUOO million between the second half of April and
the second half of May, following substantial growth earlier in the
year. So far this year, it has increased at an annual rate of about
2-1/2 per cent. The end-of-month series declined $1.1 billion in May
(after a $1*00 million adjustment due to the reclassification of deposits
of foreign central banks).!/ This reduction was associated in part
with a sharp build-up in 1)7 S. Government deposits from an unusually
low level*
Seasonally adjusted time deposits at all commercial banks
increased substantially further in May, #1 billion, (after a $1.5 billion adjustment due to the reclassification of deposits of foreign
central banks).1/ So far this year, these deposits have increased $3.8
billion, about the same as in the comparable period of 1958.
Deposit turnover. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of
demand deposit turnover at banks outside New York and other financial
centers increased from 25.7 in April to 26.9 in May. So far this year,
turnover has averaged about the same as In the comparable period of
1960.
Bank reserves. Free reserves of member banks averaged about
$ W > million in May compared with $565 million in April. Excess reserves
dropped to $51*0 million and borrowings rose to about $100 million. Free
reserves declined at all classes of banks but most sharply at central
reserve city banks in New York. Late in May and in early June free
reserves increased, and by mid-June were averaging $585 million•
1/ Beginning May 1961, the level of demand deposits adjusted was
increased by $1*00 million and the level of time deposits at commercial
banks by $1.5 billion as the result of the inclusion of deposits of
foreign central banks,official institutions, governments, and international
institutions previously included in interbank deposits. Demand and time
deposits of foreign commercial banks are still excluded from demand
deposits adjusted and time deposits in this concept.

During May, cm a daily average basis, reserves were absorbed
principally through currency outflow and Treasury operations and supplied through System purchases of U. 8, Government securities, including
continued acquisitions of longer maturities* There was a further small
rise in gold stock. Required reserves increased, reflecting growth in
¥. S. Government and time deposits offset in part by reductions in
private deposits.
Effective rates on Federal funds were generally high during
May, often at the 2-1/2 or 2-3/1* per cent level, and occasionally at
3 per cent* Only during the first few days of May, when reserve positions were still relatively easy in New York, and again around the raid
of the month was the rate generally below these levels.
