FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of KANSAS CITY ^ MAR 21 1962 B *^e3 — Research Library BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN FEBRUARY 1962 Total commercial bank credit increased somewhat in February whereas generally it declines. Total loans and holdings of State and municipal securities rose more than usual, while holdings of U« S« Government securities declined. The seasonally adjusted average money supply declined slightly between the second half of January and the second, half of February* Seasonally adjusted time deposits at all commercial banks continued to show rapid growth® Required and excess reserves of all member banks declined; borrowings from the Federal Reserve were about unchanged* Bank credit# Total credit at all commercial banks increased $600 million in February* about the same as in February last year (after adjustment for purchases of consumer installment receivables from Sears Roebuck of around $1 billion) and in February 1958* In most other recent years credit has declined, often substantially. Loans increased $1.5 billion, much more than in February of any other recent year (after allowance for the Sears' transaction in 1961). However# this year's rise reflected in part a sharp rise in security loans late in the month* Holdings of State, municipal, and other securities rose $U00 million, the same as in February last year when these holdings were expanding rapidly, and more than in any other year* Much of the rise probably reflected delivery of newly-issued municipal securities purchased in January when time deposits were increasing substantially in connection with rate increases* Holdings of U* S* Government securities declined $1*2 billion in February, about in line with the average reduction of recent years* Credit banks in leading total loans were All the increase banks* Holdings increased contraseasonally at both weekly reporting cities and at other banks in February* Increases in larger than in any other year at each group of banks* in holdings of municipal securities occurred at city of U* S. Government securities declined generally* Business loans at all commercial banks increased $300 million in February, not too different from growth in most other years of economic expansion. So far in 1962, net seasonal repayments by business borrowers have fallen short of the December rise; in contrast, in many other recent years, there has been a decline in outstanding business loans over this period* Loans to metals companies, which had begun to increase in late January, rose further in February but not as substantially as in 1956, 1959, and I960* Loans to textile processors and to trade concerns increased seasonally in February while those to public utilities declined* Repayments by food processors were about seasonal but those by commodity dealers were smaller than usual* Not for publication • 2 » Security loans at all commercial banks increased $700 million in February. Loams to U. S. Government security dealers increased early in the month in connection with the Treasury exchange offering on the 15th# but subsequently declined. They rose substantially again in the last week of the month presumably associated with the Treasury advance refunding operation* Loans to brokers and dealers for purchasing or carrying other securities also increased sharply late in the month when payments were made for AT&T debentures sold earlier. Loans to noribank financial institutions declined further in early February and outstanding loans were at about the same level as in late November prior to the year-end rise. Subsequently in February, these loans increased to slightly above the late January level. Real estate loans continued to rise moderately while those to consumers showed little further change. Agricultural loans increased further in February following a larger-than-usual rise in January. These increases reflected in part CGG guaranteed loans on cotton, which had not been under loan much in the past two years, and on com, where the market price recently has been considerably below the new support price. In addition, the rate allowed on CCO loans was increased last fall and banks are finding these loans relatively attractive. Deposit ratios* The ratio of total loans to total deposits at all ccramercial banks increased from 5U.2 per cent in January to 55.0 per cent in February, somewhat above the levels of late 1961. The ratio of U. S. Government securities maturing within one year to total deposits increased slightly to 10*9 per cent in January. (Data for February not yet available). Bank holdings of short-term securities increased only slightly in January as acquisitions of new Treasury bills at the midmonth were about offset by sales at other times. Money supply* The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted, declined $100 million between the second half of January and the second half of February, following a #1.2 billion reduction in the previous month. During the second half of February the money supply was about 2 per cent above its year-ago level. Growth in late 1961, however, had been unusually rapid. Time deposits at all commercial banks, seasonally adjusted, increased $l.lt billion further in February, following a sharp $2.2 billion rise in January, when many banks increased rates paid on savings and other time deposits. While the rate of growth in February (It weeks) was somewhat below that of January (5 weeks) it was still larger than in any month in 1961. Not for publication So far in 1962, about JLj.0 per cent of the total billion growth in time deposits at weekly reporting banks in leading cities has been in savings deposits, about. hS per cent in other time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations, and most of the remainder in deposits of States and political subdivisions e Growth in negotiable time certificates of deposit (included in other IPC) has been substantial so far this year following reductions in these certificates in late 1961o Between the end of April 1961 (when savings deposit data first became available) and the end of December 1961, almost 70 per cent of the growth in total time deposits at city banks was ins avings deposits and only 15 per cent in other time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations# Deposit turnover* The seasonally adjusted annual rate of demand deposit turnover at banks outside New York City and other financial centers declined slightly from 27*8 in January to 27.3 in February (revised series). Over the past two months, turnover has averaged about 7 per cent above the comparable period last year. Bank reserves. Total reserves of all member banks declined substantially in February, as is usual* Required reserves dropped about flj.00 million and excess reserves about $100 million* Member bank borrowings from the Federal Reserve were unchanged and free reserves dropped to an average level of $1|35 million compared with $535 million in January. Most of the reduction occurred at country banks where free reserves were lower than at any other time since the summer of I960. Free reserves at New York City banks, which had been relatively substantial in January* also declined somewhat in February. The effective rate on Federal funds was generally higher in February than in other recent months. It was frequently at 2-3/k per cent early in the month, somewhat lower after mid-February, but high again in the last few days of the month. During February on a daily average basis, reserves were absorbed principally through a $520 million reduction in Reserve Bank float, bringing the outstanding level close to the usual seasonal volume* Float had increased to a record level in December and remained at a higher-thanusual average in January* In addition, gold stock declined further in February. Reserves were supplied principally by continued currency inflow* Holdings of U* S* Government securities were reduced $135 million further* Banking Section, Division of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System* March 16, 1962„ Not for publication L.U.3 Table 1 Estimated Changes in Loans and Investments at All Commercial Banks (In billions of dollars) Item Total loans (less interbank) Business (excluding nonbank financial or sales finance companies) 2/ Nonbank financial Sales finance companies (Business (including nonbank financial or sales finance companies)) Real estate Security Agricultural Consumer All other 2/ Last Wednesday of Jan. to last Wednesday or Feb* 1961 6/ I960 w i w r " W i m +1.2 +0.3 +0.1 3/ !|/+1.6 +0.7 +0.1 +0.1 +0.2 +0.3 +0.1* +0.1 -0.2 +0.2 3/ 3/ +0.1 hZ+Oak U/+o.Ii +0.2 " 1/ +0.7 +0.2 +0.3 +0.1 5/+0.8 ¥, "" -0.1 +0.1 5 +0.1 & -o.i *${l ee> 0e2 +0.2 t£ul +0.1 -0.1 +0.1 i f -0.2 +0.1 +0.3 +0.2 -0.2 -0.1 +0.2 i -0.1 U.
