The money stock, consisting of private demand deposits and

currency in the hands of the public, has risen at about a 4 per cent
annual rate in the past seven months, after rising at about a 7 per
cent rate from December 1969 (page 5). The slower growth over the
past seven months may be viewed as balancing the rapid growth in the
first half of 1970. Over the entire period since December 1969, money
has risen at a 5.4 per cent rate, compared with a 3.1 per cent rate in
1969.
Total time deposits at commercial banks have risen at about
a 28 per cent annual rate in the past seven months and at a 23 per cent
rate in the past eleven months (page 6). In comparison, these deposits
declined at about a 5 per cent rate from December 1968 to February 1970.
Time deposits excluding large CD's grew at a 13.4 per cent rate from
February to December 1970, after a declining at a 2.3 per cent rate in
the previous eight months. These movements of time deposits in 1969 and
1970 were influenced by the relationship between interest rates on com­
petitive instruments and Regulation Q ceiling rates.
During 1969
interest rates on competing investments rose relative to ceiling rates
on time deposits, and by January 1970 the ceilings on short-term large
certificates of deposit were about 2-1/4 percentage points below threemonth Treasury bill rates. In late January 1970, Regulation Q ceilings
were raised and in late June were suspended on large 30- to 89-day
maturity CD's. In addition, as market interest rates have fallen in 1970,
banks have been able to compete more effectively for time deposits.
Flows of funds into other financial intermediaries, notably
savings and loan associations and mutual savings banks, have also grown
rapidly since February 1970.
Savings and loan shares increased at a
rapid 10 per cent annual rate from February to December 1970, compared
with only about a 1 per cent rate from June 1969 to February 1970.
Mutual savings bank deposits increased at a 7 per cent rate from
February to December, compared with about a 3 per cent rate in the pre­
vious eight months. These saving flows have responded to forces similar
to those bearing on commercial bank time deposits.*
Long-term interest rates have moved downward since July (page
10). Yields on highest-grade corporate bonds averaged 7.22 per cent in
the three days ending January 27, compared with 8.44 per cent in July.
Long-term Government bond rates averaged 5.78 per cent in the first
half of this week, compared with 6.57 per cent in July. Yields on Aaa
state and local government securities averaged 4.95 per cent on
January 21, compared with 6.40 per cent in July.

* Interest ceilings on savings at these institutions are regulated by
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
Their ceiling rates were also raised in early 1970.
