Monetary aggregates have increased at slower rates in recent

months than during most of 1972.
In the past six months, growth of the
nation's money stock has been at a 5.2 percent annual rate, compared with
about a 7.1 percent rate in the previous six months.
Demand deposits, which
comprise about three-fourths of the money stock, have increased at a 3.8
percent rate in the past six months, while the currency component has
risen at a rapid 10.3 percent rate over the same period.
Increasing demand for short-term funds associated with strong
economic gains and expectations of higher prices contributed to the signi­
ficant rise in money market rates in the past several months.
Three-month
Treasury bill rates averaged 6.25 percent in the first part of this week, down
somewhat from early April, but up 1.5 percentage points from six months
ago.
Long-term rates have been relatively stable over the past year.
Cor­
porate Aaa bond rates averaged 7.27 percent early this week, up only 8 basis
points from six months ago, and down 9 basis points from a year ago.
Reflecting the increases in market rates in recent months, the
discount rate was increased at several Federal Reserve Banks from 5-1/2
to 5-3/4 percent. 1/ At this level, the discount rate remained over one
percentage point below the recent average Federal funds rate, and 50 basis
points below the three-month Treasury bill rate.
The gap between the interest
rate charged on loans to member banks by the Federal Reserve Banks and market
rates has been accompanied by a high level of member banks borrowings.
Bor­
rowings averaged about $1.7 billion in the past three months, compared with
only $200 million last July when the discount rate was about the same as the
Federal funds rate.
