L.4.3
BANKING AM) MONETABY DEVELOPMENTS IN APRIL 1961
Bank credit. Total credit at all commercial banks increased $1.6
billion in April with about two-thirds of the rise in holdings of U. S.
Government securities. Generally credit rises substantially in this month
when, as this year, Treasury cash financing occurs. Total loans increased
$500 million, much less than in the comparable periods of the two past years
but about the same as in 1955-58. In April 1954, loans had declined.
Growth this year reflected a sharp expansion in security loans and moderate
rises in most other loan categories offset in part by a reduction in business loans. Holdings of other securities increased only moderately further
as continued purchases were offset in large part by the redemption of New
York City tax anticipation notes as is usual at this time of year.
Commercial banks initially acquired nearly- all the $1.5 billion
Treasury tax anticipation bills of April 3. Sales of these and other Governments, however, were heavy early in the month, and total holdings of Governments increased only $400 million during the first half of the month. A
substantial volume of securities was shifted from the 1-5 year category to
more than 5 years in the advance refunding of March 30. During the second
half of April weekly reporting banks in leading cities acquired an additional
$600 million of U. S. Government securities; an $800 million increase in
securities maturing within one year was offset in part by a decline in
longer maturities. Holdings at nonweekly reporting banks were unchanged in
the last half of April.
So far this year, credit at all commercial banks has declined $1.3
billion, less than half as much as last year but about comparable with most
other recent years. In early 1958, however, credit had increased sharply.
The net decline this year reflected a much smaller-than-usual credit reduction
in January and February followed by only a nominal credit rise over March and
April. Usually in these two months credit rises fairly substantially. Total
loans (exclusive of the Sears transaction) have dropped much more than in
other years. At banks both in leading cities and outside, net loan repayments were unusually heavy early in the year while recent loan growth has
been relatively small. Holdings of U. 8. Government securities have declined
only slightly since December whereas ordinarily they drop sharply. Holdings
of other securities have increased in near-record volume.
Business loans at all commercial banks declined $400 million in
April, about the same as in the recession years of 1954 and 1958; in other
recent years, these loans have either declined less or increased. Since
December 31, business loans at all commercial banks have declined $1 billion,
of which almost $900 million was at weekly reporting banks. This was
sli^itly less than in the comparable period of 1958 and slightly more than
in 1954. In other recent years, business loans have increased in this period.

During April, reductions in loans to food processors and commodity
dealers, which accounted for more than half the month's decline, appeared to
be slightly larger than seasonal whereas earlier in the year they had been
considerably less. Loans to metals manufacturers, which had increased less
than usual earlier in the year, declined more than usual in April. Outstanding loans in this industry are now below the year-end level. Net repayments
by public utilities have also been large recently. Loans to trade concerns
declined contraseasonally in April; these loans had declined sharply early
in the year and risen less than usual in February and March.
Loans to nonbank financial institutions at all commercial banks
declined $100 million further in April bringing the decline so far this year
to $1.4 billion, a much larger drop than in any other recent year.
Security loans increased $800 million in April, an unusually sharp
rise. Loans to U. S. Government security dealers at city banks increased
$260 million, reflecting expansion in dealer trading positions from the
relatively low levels prevailing in late March. Brokers' loans increased
about $325 million, principally in the week of the 19th when the A T & T
rights expired. Loans to others than brokers and dealers against stock
market collateral also rose in April.
Beal estate loans at all commercial banks increased somewhat in
April. These loans rose at city banks, the first monthly increase at this
group of banks since last summer. Real estate loans at all commercial banks
have increased moderately so far this year.
Consumer loans at all commercial banks are estimated to have increased slightly in April. Repayments on the $1 billion Sears* borrowing
of January 31 have now amounted to around $300 million. Exclusive of the
Sears transaction, consumer loans have been about unchanged this year whereas
in the comparable periods of 1958 and 1954 they declined somewhat.
Deposit ratios. The ratio of total loans to total deposits at all
commercial banks declined slightly in April to 55.6 per cent, but remains
close to the level of the past three months. Ratios are somewhat above
year-end i960 levels at all classes of banks except central reserve city
banks in New York where they are only slightly lower. The ratio of U. S.
Government securities maturing within one year to total deposits at all
commercial banks declined in March (April data not yet available) to 8.1
per cent. This ratio had been increasing steadily since early summer i960.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted,
increased $300 million further between the second half of March and the
second half of April (preliminary). In the previous month, it had increased
$900 million. Since the low point in June last year, the money supply has
been growing at an annual rate of 2-1/2 per cent. The end-of-month series
increased $1.1 billion in April following a similar rise in March. Recent
increases in the private money supply have been associated in part with a
large contraseasonal reduction in U. S. Government deposits over the past
two months.

Seasonally adjusted time deposits at all commercial banks increased
$700 million further in April. So far this year, these deposits have increased $3.1 billion (about $2.7 billion, exclusive of time certificates
issued to Sears), somewhat less than in the comparable four months of 1958.
The annual rate of increase so far this year has been 11 per cent compared
•with 15 per cent in the second half of i960.
Deposit turnover. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of demand
deposit turnover at banks outside New York and other financial centers
declined from 26.1 per cent in March to 25.6 per cent (preliminary) in
April. So far this year turnover has averaged slightly less than in the
comparable period of i960.
Bank reserves. Free reserves of member banks averaged $565 million
in April, compared with $475 million in March. Excess reserves at $625
million were higher than a month earlier and borrowings at $60 million were
lower. Free reserves increased at central reserve city banks in New York
and at country banks. They were about unchanged at other banks.
During April, on a daily average basis, reserves were supplied
through increases in Reserve Bank float, Treasury and foreign operations,
and reductions in nonmember and other F. B. accounts. Reserves were absorbed
largely through a currency outflow and through reductions in System holdings
of U. S. Government securities. Purchases of securities with longer maturities
continued during the month but were more than offset by sales of short-term
securities.
The effective rate on Federal funds was generally 2 per cent or
above in the first half of April. In the second half, when free reserves
increased to over $650 million, the rate dropped and on several days was
1/2 per cent„ These low rates continued through the early days of May.
