^JUJG ^ ? 1998
The money stock, showing essentially no growth
since early June, continues to be a restrictive influence
on the economy (page 4). This prolonged lack of signifi­
cant change can be attributed to the restraint on the
growth of Federal Reserve credit, the policy determinant
of the money supply (page 2). Federal Reserve credit has
increased at a 3.4 per cent annual rate during this period,
compared with a 6 per cent rate of growth from last
December to June, and a 10 per cent increase in 1968.
During 1969 total time deposits at banks and
^Wiher financial intermediaries have declined, as the rates
these intermediaries are permitted to pay have been low
relative to market interest rates. From December to July
large negotiable certificates of deposit at large commercial
banks declined by $9.8 billion, while growth rates of smaller
types of deposits were slower than in 1968. During the last
three months, smaller types of deposits have decelerated even
more, probably due to the effect of interest rate ceilings on
these deposits.
The flow of funds through channels not subject to
interest rate ceilings has continued to increase. Commercial
paper outstanding averaged $31.1 billion in October, a $1.6
billion increase over September and a 54 per cent annual rate
of increase from last December. Commercial paper outstanding
)se at half this rate during 1968.
Business loans at large commercial banks have not
increased in recent weeks but show a 6.8 per cent annual
rate of growth in the last three months. These loans in­
creased at an 11 per cent annual rate from December to
early August (page 9).
