To make short-term issues moro

serve price supports on 90-day
Treasury bills were withdrawn in
July. The interest yield, long held
down to 0.376 per cent. rose week
by week past 0.940 and on toward
l per cent.
Also, one-year securities that had
paid * per cent were replaced by
1915 month securities paying 11s per
cent. But the interest rates still are
far below those paid on long-term
bonds.
Then, to keep investors from SELL
ing their long-term bonds to buy the
short-terms, the Treasury delib-
erately knocked down the premium
price on its long-term market issues
so that their yield rose.
. 1t did so by selling some OF its
own holdings of United States bonds
and by issuing special non-market-
able bonds to absorb extra invest
ment funds.
Within a two month period, the
Treasury managed to force down
the price of some of its u per cent
bonds to 1077s to around 101 in De-
cember. The same bonds sold as

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Jan. 3 lP.-Wheat dropped
sharply in active dealings on the Board
Of Trade today following trade reports
from Kansas City that farmers were SELL
ing large quantities of the cash grain
now that the new year has started. Corn
and oats, steady early, joined the wheat
decline.
A report from Kansas City said it was
estimated that sales of cash grain yes
terday totaled 100000 bushels of wheat
and that the activity would have been
greater if communications to the country
had not been disrupted by snow storms.
The selling was based on the fact that
income from grain offered now will be
applied on 194S taxes rather than 1947,
traders said.
At the same time the Southwestern

ofnciais in the Agriculture Department

Banks Resume Lending Role;
Win Criticism for Effort

from bankers acceptances to prime
commercial paper.
Loss of income to banks by virtue
of reduced holdings of Government
securities was thus Offset to degree
by expansion in revenues through
larger charge on loans. Most
bankers believed the Offset would
not be enough to prevent decline
in net profits.
The big question in the banking
industry at the end of the year was:
What will the banks door what
will be done to the banks-to curb
the inf1ationary implications Of
rapidly expanding business and per-
sonal bank credit?
President Truman gave top place
in his 10-point anti-inf1ation pro-
gram to legislation ito restore con-
sumer credit control and to restrain
the creation Of infiationary bank
credit"
The winds of argument blew with
gale violence in Washington and
Wall Street as bankers and Gov
ernment officials tried to thrash
out a workable answer.
Return to Controls Likely.
Restoration of controls on con-
sumer credit appeared likely de-
velopment despite banking opposi-
ton. What to do about regulating
commercial bank credit, if anything,
was hotly debated.
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman Of
the Federal Reserve Board, pro-
posed secondary reserve require
ments in the form Of cash or short
term Government securities, in ad-
dition to those now required.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
indicated disagreement with the
Mr.. Eccles' proposal and proposed
retirement of bank-held Govern
ment securities, plus intensified saw
ings bonds sales, and use of exist
ing credit controls.
The Federal Reserve System, with
out waiting for congressional action,
moved on its own late in the year
to strengthen areas of stress in the
economy.
These moves included a sharp
drop in the levels at which the
Federal supported Government bond
prices and the implied promise that
the new levels would be maintained
for the foreseeable future. Bank
'ers took this to mean Government
bonds would not break par. At the
same time they were virtually as
sured long-term Government would
yield ~ per cent or slightly less,
I thus lessening the inclination to
sell such bonds and use the pro-
ceeds for expansion of commercial
loans.

Associated Press Sfoff writer
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Nation S
banks this year recaptured their
traditional role as lenders to busi-
ness, industry and finance.
And they played their part with
such enthusiasm that at the year
end they were under attack by Gov
eminent critics on the grounds that
commercial credit was expanding at
too rapid a rate.
Lending activity in the first half
of 1e47 was slowed by such factors
as a slight skip in the pulse of
business, talk of a recession and
spasmodic concern over inventory
accumulation, strikes in key in
dustries and a. pause in the upward
flight of prices.
Loan Volume at New Peak.
In the second half Of the year,
however, banks poured out money
to satisfy the desires of business
at a constantly expanding rate.
At the end of December the total,
as reported by member banks of the
Federal Reserve System in leading
cities, had skyrocketed to a record
high of about $14,500, 100000. This
topped the total outstanding at the
end of 1916 by the tidy sum of
So, ,O00, 100000 or SO.
Consumer lending also reached
for the sky, with the year-end
total far above previous records.
Coincident with this trend in
lending and in line with the post
war policy of the money managers
in Washington, some $500, ,000, 600
in Government bonds was Topped
from the banks investment port
folios. Despite this decline, banks
still had roughly $37 7,600, 900, 900 in
vested in Federal issues, largely a
hangover from the days of war
financing.
Bank policy on loans and invest
ments was profoundly influenced by
the basic considerable of the price
of money-in other words, in which
direction could they channel their
funds to secure the largest rate OF
return?
Interest Rates Edge Up.
Fundamentally there appeared to
be a rising tendency in the long
term interest rate although the
Government, which virtually die
tates the rate, vowed and reavowed
that 21a per cent interest for long
term money would not be altered
The Government did allow, how
ever, a decisive increase in the
short-term rate for money.
In banking this was reflected in
higher rates for all types of loans

Imitation in 1947, a strain or
pocketbooks of so many. is paying
off in profits to the United States
Treasury.
BY next June 30, end of the pres
ent fiscal year, the Nation will show
its biggest surplus in history.
High prices and high incomes are
pouring tax revenues into the treas
ury. They put the Government in
the black last June for the first time
in II years.
The rising economic tempo of the
last six months-and the indicated
prosperity of the next six-give
every sign not only OF balancing the
current Fiscal 194S) budget but OF
rolling up a surplus of between
S., 700 900, 900 and $1,000, 900 900.
Only a quick, sharp tax cut in
early 1948 can prevent that, Gov
ernment experts forecast. Already
the tax fruits of the 1947 pay-and-
profits season are ripe for the COL
lector's big harvest in the next three
months.
Darker Prospects Faced.
But the Government. temporarily
flush, faces darker prospects after
next July because:
/. It's expenses for the fiscal year
(1949 beginning then may rise by
50 500, 100000 to the $39, 100000 COO
mark, according to authoritative
estimate. Reason: Higher costs of
foreign aid.
2. It's income, figured at $42, ,7O0,-
600, 900 to $4,000, 600 900 this fiscal
year, msy be cut drastically by a
tax rate slash. advocated by Re-
publican leaders, or by possible
business setback.
3. Overhanging the Government
and the whole economy is the huge
$258, ,000, ,000, 900 Federal debt and in
creasing pressure for higher interest
rates. The Government hopes to
reduce the debt to close to $3.50 ,00O,-
100000 out of its current fiscal year
surplus.
The debt affects the whole coun-
try because the interest, $500, ,000,-
900 a year, has to be supplied by
taxpayers. And also, because the
rate of interest paid on it affects
interest on borrowed money gen.
orally.
Higher interest rates on Govern
ment securities force higher rates on
corporation securities. The latter
must pay more attractive rates be-
cause they are "riskier."
Since last fall. the Government
has been letting its interest rates 60
up and thus push up other interest
rates. The intended effect is to in
crease the cost of borrowed money
The objective, to check the boom
lest 1t become bust.
