DEC 2 6 1979

The strong demand for bank loans during the last two
months has been reflected in rising short-term interest rates.
Although short-term interest rates have risen much more in the
last two months than during the previous two months, bank loans
have expanded about as rapidly in both periods, as shown in the
table below.
The behavior of bank holdings
of securities
(investments) and their issuance of large CDs also provide
evidence of a continued strong demand for bank loans.
Although
growth of bank reserves (monetary base minus currency) has
increased to an 11.4 percent rate since August, from a 10 percent
rate over the previous two months, banks have reduced their
holdings of securities and accelerated their issuance of CDs in
the last two months to make additional loans available.
The most recent weekly data indicate that the strong
demand for bank loans is continuing in November. As shown on page
11, business loans at weekly reporting large commercial banks have
continued to rise sharply in recent weeks. As the growth of the
monetary base has slowed in recent weeks, banks have sharply
lnCrffSe^ their issuance of large CDs (page 12) to maintain the
growth or loans. Also, this past week most large commercial banks
increased their prime lending rate from 10.75 to 11 percent.
