CREDIT CONDITIONS
BROUGHT RATE CUT
Federal Reserve Review Ex-
plains Causes Which Led
to 4 p. c. RediscOunt.

The July issue Of the Monthly Review
OF Credit ard Business Conditions, is
sued by the Federal Reserve Agent in
the second Federal Reserve District, ex-
islains that the recent reduction in the
etscSunt rate was a reflection OF exist
ing cre9it conditions, OF which market
rates OF interest are themselves an in
dicathon. 1t continues:
"A general decline in interest rates.
contirnling the movement which has
been gradually progressing since the end
of 1920. preceded the announcement on
June % that the rate of the New York
Reserve Bank on all rediscounts and
advances was reduced from AZ to 4 per
cent. The reduction brought the rate Of
the Reserve Bank to substantially the
same level as that which prevailed dur
ing 1915. 1916 and 1917.
Interest rates register the return
which the investor. whether a bank or
other lender. is willing to accept for
the use of his funds. They reflect not
only the relation between the demand
for money and the supply, but the ele-
ment of risk also At this time the
total loans and investments of New
York City banks are about per cent.
below the average for 1920, whereas their
deposits are about 3 per cent. above the
average for that year; and the credit
position of borrowers Is reported to
show continued Improvement. as is Illus
trated in the reduction both in the
number OF business reverses during May
and the volume of liabilities involved.
The general lowering of interest
rates was not due to any new factors
apparent in the situation, other than
the temporary effect of Treasury opera
tions around the quarterly tax DAY.
1t has become usual at such times for
the money markets to yield somewhat
during the period between the date
when maturing certificates of Indebted
ness are redeemed and the time when
tax checks are collected. A more funda-
mental factor was the continued liqui-
banks, a process which has been ac-
celerated by the issuance of new cor
porate securities. The sale of the latter
has permitted corporations to pay off
bank loans, and the volume of COM
mercial loans reported by member
banks has declined in consequence.
liquidation of this sort has in part
been offset by increased loans on stocks
and bonds which are now higher than
at any time since 1919. This increase
has resulted partly from the issue OF
new securities which has required a
larger amount of credit for the dealers
and the investing public, and partly
from the activity of the stock market
