Week ending January 19, 1966

Since June,, money puffigfo growth has accelerated
from an already rapid rate and reserves available to
support private demand deposits have also increased at a
sharp pace.
Historically, sustained periods of strong
monetary growth have generally been accompanied by a rise
in spending. . Since the economy is now fairly taut, a
larger portion of any rapid rise in spending, which might
follow recent fiscal ease and monetary growth, is likely
to take the form of price increases rather than increases
in real output.
MONEY SUPPLY
The nation's money supply, which averaged $168.7
billion in the week ending January 19, has grown $2.1
billion since early December and at a 8.0 per cent
annual rate since June. The rise since June is the
fastest rise for a 7-month period in 13 years. Prior to
June, money had increased at a 4 per cent rate from Sept­
ember 1962 and at a 1. 5 per cent average rate from 1953
to 1962.
The rate of increase in the turnover of money
has declined in recent months. Since early summer, the
income velocity of money has risen at a 1.4 per cent annual
rate, compared with an average 3 per cent annual rate
since 1951. Typically, when there has been a sharp in­
jection of money, spending initially has risen slower them
money and the income velocity of money has declined or
risen at a slower rate for a time. However, after a brief
period the growth rate of spending has usually accelerated,
and the velocity has risen as fast or faster than before
the injection.

RESERVES
The recent monetary growth has been made possible*
by a rapid rise in bank reserves. The increase in total
member bank reserves was very sharp in December and early .
January. Reserves available to support private demand *
deposits have risen at an unusually fast 7.1 per cent rate
since June. Such reserves rose 2.2 per cent in the year
previous to June.
INTEREST RATES
In the three days ending January 19, the average
yield on 90-day Treasury bills rose to 4.63 per cent, up
from 4.59 Per cent in the week ending January 14
and from 3-83 per cent in July.
Interest rates have risen since July as
corporations have increasingly turned to outside sources
for investment funds and as borrowings by state and local
governments have risen. Recently, the Federal Govern­
ment has increased its demands for funds.
A legal limit of 4.25 per cent payable on new
Government bonds (securities 5 years or more to maturity)
has affected the term structure of interest rates as well
as the maturity of the public debt. The yields on
Treasury bills and intermediate term Government securities
have risen relative to the long-term yield, and the average
maturity of the Federal debt has shortened.
