Week ending August 9r 1967

Page 4)
Preliminary data indicate that commercial bank
credit has continued to rise sharply. Since December
this credit has increased at an estimated 12 per cent
annual rate, compared with a 1.5 per cent rate in the
last half of 1966 and an average 8 per cent rate from
i960 to 1966. These figures are based on a daily aver­
age series prepared by this bank.

STOCK (Pages 5 and 12)
The money stock of the country (private demand
deposits plus currency held by the public) averaged $177*2
billion in the four weeks ending August 2. A repetitive
pattern within each quarter which has been developing in
the series during the past two or three years makes it
difficult to measure changes over relatively short periods.
The Board of Governors is recomputing the seasonal adjust­
ment of this series based on data now available. The re­
vised series, which is expected to be published in the
near future, will probably reduce this quarterly pattern.
Meanwhile, one approach for studying current developments
is to concentrate on periods of three months, thus bridging
the intra-quarterly pattern (see insert table page 5).
Since January (the two most recent quarterly periods) money
^6 risen at a 9 per cent annual rate, with the rate
Especially high in the latest three months. By comparison
money rose at an average 4.2 per cent rate from 1964 to
1966 and at a 2.6 per cent rate from i960 to 1964.

MONEY STOCK (Continued)
Trends in money stock or any other variable
containing a quarterly residual seasonal pattern may
also be studied by constructing a 13-week moving
average of the data (see dashed line on chart p. 5)•
Examination of this moving average shows that money
began rising sharply about the end of January (the

13-week centered moving average began rising after
mid-December). Growth in this 13-week moving average
line has also been at an 8 per cent rate since January,
with the increase exceptionally rapid in the most
recent weeks.

BANK RESERVES (Pages 2, 3 and 12)
Changes in the money stock reflect in large
measure changes in member bank cash reserves. By law
banks must maintain reserves behind deposits, the
major component of money. Cash reserves in excess of
legal requirements are usually kept at a minimum, however,
because they are a non-earning asset. Since January,
bank reserves have risen at a 10 per cent annual rate.
A principal factor supplying reserves to banks has been
Federal Reserve credit which has gone up at a 12 per
cent rate in the same period.

Rates of change reported in this release are
intended to serve as aids for analyzing recent
developments. Longer periods of time than
covered here are generally required to identify
major turning points.
