MEMBER BANK RESERVES

MONEY STOCK (Continued)

Total reserves of member banks (page 3) aver­
aged $24.7 billion during the four weeks ended November
8, up at an 11 per cent rate since late July, about the
same rate as since January.
In contrast, total reserves
rose at a 3 per cent trend rate from 1957 to 1966.

a shift of deposits from private to Government accounts,
as the Government has rebuilt its balances from the un­
usually low levels of last summer. Money rose at a 2.4
per cent trend rate from 1957 to 1966.

During the past three months, a substantial
share of the growth in total member bank reserves has
been used to support an increase in Government demand
sits associated with Treasury financing through tax
loan credit.
The upward trend in time deposits in
commercial banks since January (page 7) also has reduced
the volume of reserves available for other deposits.
As
a result, reserves available for private demand deposits
(total reserves less reserves required for Government,
time, and net interbank deposits) have risen at a dece­
lerated 5 per cent annual rate since late July.
These
reserves, which provide a base for monetary expansion,
have risen at about an 8 per cent rate since early this
year, compared with a 1.5 per cent trend rate from 1957
to 1966.
MONEY STOCK
The nation's money stock (page 5), consisting
rivate demand deposits and currency in the hands of
public, averaged $180.3 billion in the four weeks
ended November 1, up at a 5 per cent rate since July,
and at an 8 per cent rate since January.
The somewhat
lower rate of growth in the past three months reflects

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

A broader concept of money (page 4), which
includes time deposits at commercial banks, has risen
at a 9.5 per cent rate since July, and at a 12 per
cent rate since January.
Recent deceleration in the
growth of this measure has also reflected the increase
of Treasury deposits. From 1957 to 1966, this measure,
which is similar in magnitude to total bank credit, rose
at a 6 per cent trend rate.
BUSINESS LOANS
Business loans at large commercial banks (page 9)
averaged $63.6 billion during the four weeks ended November
1, about $500 million below their mid-July peak, but up
about $3 billion for the year to date.
These loans have
risen at a 7 per cent rate since January, facilitated by
sizable tax related loan demands in the first half of the
year. Expectations of higher interest rates in coming
months may have led some corporate borrowers to accelerate
security offerings in the capital markets, which has had
a dampening effect on the demand for bank credit. By way
of comparison, business loans rose at a 10 per cent rate
from i960 to 1966.

Rates of change reported in this release sure
intended to serve as summaries which may be
