BANKING AND MONETARY DEVELOPMENTS IN AUGUST 1961
Total commercial bank credit declined slightly in August following a sharp
increase in July associated mainly with Treasury financing operations. Total loans
showed little further change. The seasonally adjusted money supply was unchanged
between the second half of July and the second half of August. Time deposits continued to expand substantially, however, and U. S. Government deposits also increased.
Turnover of demand deposits rose. Total reserves and required reserves of all member
banks increased. Free reserves were unchanged.
Bank credit. Total credit at all commercial banks declined slightly,
$300 million, in August following an increase of almost $3 billion in July. Most
of the expansion in July was associated with bank purchases of nearly all the $3.5
billion Treasury tax anticipation bills offered for cash on July 26. In August,
holdings of U. S. Government securities declined only moderately, however — by
$500 million, mostly early in the month. Weekly reporting banks in leading cities
reduced their holdings over $600 million following a $2.3 billion rise in their
holdings in the week of the financing. At nonweekly reporting banks, holdings of
U. S. Government securities increased slightly further in August. Holdings of
State, local, and other securities increased $200 million further in August; a substantial part of the expansion was at banks in New York City and reflected in part
purchases of new FNMA debentures.
Total loans were unchanged in August, in contrast with loan expansion in
August of all past years except 1954 and 1958. Developments this year, however,
were influenced by heavy August reductions in security loans that followed borrowing
in connection with the late July financing. Total loan reductions at leading city
banks were offset by loan expansion at banks outside leading cities where growth,
while slightly below that in August of the past two years, exceeded that of most
other recent years.
Since June, credit at all commercial banks has increased $2.5 billion,
about the same as the comparable periods last year and in 1954 and more than in
any other year. This has been reflected mostly in expansion in security holdings.
Loans declined slightly over the period, about in line with the seasonal pattern.
Business loans at all commercial banks, which usually rise at this time
of year, increased $200 million in August, somewhat less than in most previous
years. In August last year, however, business loans had remained unchanged. Since
midyear, net repayments of business loans have been somewhat less than seasonal,
totaling $300 million, or about half as much as in the comparable period last year.
Loans to food processors and commodity dealers increased about seasonally
in August. Those to trade concerns rose considerably more than usual presumably
reflecting inventory rebuilding at the retail level. Net new borrowing by textile

manufacturers was about the usual amount. "All other" business loans increased in
near record volume, reflecting mainly, it would appear, increased loans to service
industries. Net repayments by petroleum and chemical concerns were unusually large
in August due mostly to repayment by a leading oil company of term loans in New York
with the proceeds of capital market financing. Loans to metals companies and public
utilities continued to decline in August as is usual.
Loans to nonbank financial institutions increased somewhat last month.
Since midyear, there has been little change in these loans whereas last year they
had declined. However, the usual mid-June borrowing was also smaller this year
than last.
Security loans declined $600 million in August following a sharp rise in
late July in loans to U. S. Government security dealers associated with Treasury
financing. Net repayments by these dealers accounted for about two-thirds of the
August reduction. Loans for purchasing and carrying securities other than those of
the U. S. Government also declined relatively substantially in August following a
slight reduction in July. At leading city banks the reduction in these loans since
June has come to about one-third the volume of the second quarter increase.
Consumer loans at all commercial
ajudstment for the Sears' repayment. They
but a little less than usual. Real estate
city banks the increase was larger than in

banks increased slightly in August after
have also increased slightly since midyear
loans continued to expand in August; at
any other month since the spring upturn.

Deposit ratios. The ratio of total loans to total deposits at all commercial banks increased slightly in August to $4.9 per cent; in general, this ratio had
been declining since March. The ratio of D. S. Government securities maturing within one year to total deposits rose further in July (data for August not yet available)
to 12.2 per cent, higher than at any time since mid-1954.
Money supply. The daily average money supply, seasonally adjusted, was
unchanged between the second half of July and the second half of August. In recent
months, it has remained close to the level prevailing since early spring, following
rapid growth earlier in 1961. The money supply is now about 1-1/2 per cent above
the year-ago level. The end of month money supply series declined slightly in
August; it is about 2 per cent above last year's level.
Time deposits at all commercial banks, seasonally adjusted, continued to
increase substantially, $900 million further in August. These deposits have been
increasing at an annual rate of 14 per cent so far this year, about as sharply as
in the second half of i960 but slightly below the early 1958 rate.
Deposit turnover. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of demand deposit
turnover at banks outside New York and other financial centers increased from 26.2
in July to 26.7 in August. Since April, turnover has been averaging about 1-1/2
per cent above the comparable period last year. Earlier in the year, turnover had
been averaging about the same as last year.

- 3 Bank reserves. Average total reserves of member banks increased $160
million in August. Required reserves rose $140 million as increases in reserves
required against U. S. Government and time deposits were offset in part by reductions in reserves required against private demand deposits. Excess reserves increased slightly. Borrowings also rose slightly and average free reserves at $540
million were little changed from July. Free reserves by class of bank also averaged
about the same as in July.
Reserve positions showed considerable variation during the month, however.
They tightened in late July and early August, with free reserves averaging around
$400 million; subsequently during August they increased to over $550 million in the
second half of the month. The effective rate on Federal funds, which had increased
in late July, remained relatively high during the first half of August, often at
2-3/4 per cent. During the latter part of the month it declined, however, and eontinned relatively low into early September.
During August, on a daily average basis, reserves were absorbed principally through a reduction in Reserve Bank float and an increase in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts, reflecting in part interest receipts on System
held U. S. Government securities. Gold stock increased slightly further on a monthly
average basis; but there was a large decline in late August. Reserves were supplied
through a $390 million increase in System holdings of U. S. Government securities, in
part under repurchase agreements. Outright purchases of $315 million included some
longer term issues. Holdings of Governments increased substantially late in July
when required reserves increased in connection with Treasury financing; subsequently,
they declined but purchases were resumed again late in August.

Preliminary.
Datg. for demand and time deposits adjusted and currency outside banks are as of last Wednesday of month,
except that time deposits are as of June 30 and December 31 when call data for these dates were available.
Includes savings deposits in the Postal Savings System.
Prior to 1955 data are Board estimates based on monthly figures of inflow of new savings and withdrawals
of savings capital compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Includes all types of savings bonds held by investors other than banks and U. S. Government agencies and
trust funds.
Beginning May 1955 includes all marketable securities maturing within one year (adjusted to include
partially tax exempt securities 12 months prior to first call date) and, prior to 1956, nonmarketable
Treasury savings notes with maturities up to 24 months; figures include holdings of insurance companies,
brokers and dealers, State and local governments, nonbank corporation?, corporate pension funds, nonprofit institutions, foreign accounts, and individuals; prior to May 1955 includes securities callable
within one year.
Gross national product estimates are available quarterly and annually Anly. For 1950-58 ratios are for
last quarter of year; for 1959 and I960, for each quarter of year. Data for total liquid assets used in
computing these ratios are quarterly average for four dates: each month of the current quarter and the
last month of the preceding quarter.
Demand deposits adjusted (before seasonal adjustment) was increased by $400 million and time deposits
adjusted (before seasonal adjustment) was increased by $1.5 billion due to the reclassification of
deposits of foreign official institutions which formerly were grouped with interbank deposits and
excluded from demand and time deposits adjusted.
