BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN FEBRUARY 1963
Total commercial bank credit increased much more in February than
in other recent months• Total loans rose contraseasonally reflecting in
part a sharp increase in security loans. Holdings of U. S. Government
securities declined less than usual and holdings of other securities rose
whereas they generally decline. The money supply increased slightly between
the second half of January and the second half of February. Time and savings deposits at commercial banks rose less rapidly than in other recent
months. U. S. Government deposits increased much more than usual0 Total
and required reserves declined in February as is usual. Free reserves
were also reduced.
Bank credit. Total loans and investments at all commercial banks,
seasonally adjusted, increased $3*4 billion further in February. In
January, credit growth had been only $1.2 billion, considerably below the
average $2 billion monthly rise in late 1962. Total loans increased $2.1
billion further in February; security loans increased sharply while other
loan categories rose at about the same rates as in January. Holdings of
U. S. Government securities declined less than usual and, on a seasonally
adjusted basis, rose $800 million. On February 6, commercial banks were
allotted about $420 million of the $1 billion June tax bills. Treasury
financing had also occurred in February of several other recent years.
On February 1$, commercial banks exchanged maturing certificates and notes
for $1.5 billion of one-year certificates and $1.6 billion of 5-1/2 year
bonds. Holdings of non-Government securities increased $500 million on a
seasonally adjusted basis in February reflecting in part purchases of
Federal agency issues.
Business loans at all commercial banks, seasonally adjusted,
increased only slightly in February. Growth in January had also been
small following a substantial expansion in the second half of 1962. At
weekly reporting banks in leading cities, business loans increased $270
million in February, about the same as in the comparable weeks of the
three previous years. Loans to food processors declined and those to trade
concerns rose about the same as in other Februaries. Loans to commodity
dealers were about unchanged as in the comparable periods of the two past
years. Loans to metals processors and to textile manufacturers increased
seasonally following declines in January while those to public utilities
declined further in February. Loans to "other manufacturing and mining"
concerns continued to show substantial growth.




Seasonally adjusted security loans at all commercial banks increased $700 million in February. At weekly reporting banks in leading
cities, most of the increase was in loans to U. S„ Government security
dealers. These loans increased early in the month when payment was made
for the new tax bills and books were open for the February 15 exchanges.
Subsequently, they declined somewhat but rose sharply again at the end of
the month in connection with the Treasury's advance refunding operations.
Consumer loans at all commercial banks, seasonally adjusted,
increased $300 million further in February, the same as in January, and
more than in most other recent months. Growth in real estate loans continued substantial, although not quite as rapid as in the summer and fall
of 1962. Loans to nonbank financial institutions increased further in
February.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted,
increased $200 million between the second half of January and the second
half of February. In late February, publicly-held deposits and currency were
about 2 per cent above the year-ago level.
Average U. S. Government deposits increased $2.4 billion between
the second half of January and the second half of February, considerably
more than in the comparable periods of most other recent years.
Seasonally adjusted time and savings deposits at all commercial
banks increased $1.1 billion between the second half of January and the
second half of February, somewhat less rapidly than in other recent months.
At weekly reporting banks in leading cities, the rate of increase in savings deposits declined slightly compared with the high January rate.
Other time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations continued
to expand at about the January rate. Growth in deposits of States and
political subdivisions slackened considerable, however.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of turnover of demand deposits
at banks in 343 centers outside New York declined slightly in February to
32.2 (preliminary) from 32.6 in January. Over the two months turnover
averaged about 6 per cent above January and February last year.
Bank reserves. Total and required reserves of member banks
declined in February as is usual. Excess reserves were about unchanged,
however, averaging $475 million. Member bank borrowings from the Federal
Reserve increased to $175 million from $100 million in January. Free reserves accordingly declined to $300 million from $385 million, with most
of the reduction at New York City banks and at country banks. The effective rate on Federal funds remained at 3 per cent during February.




During February, on a monthly average basis, reserves were
absorbed principally through a reduction in float and through an increase
in Treasury and other deposits at the Reserve Banks. Reserves were
supplied mainly through currency inflow and through an increase of $3^5
million in System holdings of U. S. Government securities.

NOTE: This is a new series first shown in "Banking and Monetary Developments" for November 1962, and differs from the one
perilously shown in concept and coverage. Back figures available from Banking Section, Division of Research an


Statistics.


Exhibit K (Continued)
l/

Excludes holdings of the United States Government, Government agencies and trust funds, domestic
commercial banks, and Federal Reserve Banks. Adjusted to avoid double counting whenever possible.
All series adjusted for seasonal variation by the X-9 variant of Method II developed by the Bureau
of the Censuso

2/

Data are for demand deposits adjusted and currency outside banks and are as of the last Wednesday
of the month. In concept the figures agree with the daily average monty supply described in detail
in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for August 1962, p. 941 > except that demand deposits held by mutual
savings banks and by savings and loan associations have been deducted to avoid double counting.
Demand deposits of commercial banks in Alaska and Hawaii are included beginning January 1959 and
August 1959, respectively, except that one national bank in Alaska and one national bank in Hawaii
were included in April 1954 and April 1959s respectively. Demand deposits due to banks in United
States possessions are included throughout.

2/

Total time deposits at commercial banks except interbank, U. S. Treasurer's open account, and
postal savings redeposited in commercial banks. Data are as of the last Wednesday of month except
June 30 and December 31 when call data for these dates were used when available. Time deposits
of commercial banks in Alaska and Hawaii and time deposits due to banks in U. S. possessions are
included as indicated for demand deposits in footnote 2 above.

1}J Figures compiled by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation except that prior to 1955
data are Board estimates based on monthly figures of inflow of new savings and withdrawal of
savings capital compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Includes all types of savings bonds held by investors other than commercial and mutual savings
banks and U. S. Government agencies and trust funds. Holdings of savings and loan associations
are also excluded beginning in February I960, the earliest date for which separate figures for
these institutions are available. Figures are from data compiled by the U. S. Treasury Department.
6/

Beginning December 1950 figures include Treasury marketable securities and Federal agency securities maturing within one year, except holdings of domestic commercial, mutual savings, and
Federal Reserve Banks, Government agencies and trust funds, and beginning February I960, savings
and loan associations. Figures have been adjusted to include partially tax-exempt securities 12
months prior to first eall date, and, prior to 1956, nonmarketable Treasury savings notes with
maturities up to 36 months. Prior to December 1950 figures for marketable issues include securities callable within one year. Figures represent par value and are from the U. S. Treasury
Department's Survey of Ownership of U. S. Government Securities®

2/

Gross national product figures are available quarterly and annually only. Data for total liquid
assets used in computing these ratios are quarterly averages calculated for four dates (each
month of the current quarter and the last month of the preceding quarter),
