of this practice after DECIDING

but few manufacturers and re-

clares.
However, most analysts be-
lieve the policy viii remain
easy for at least the next sew
eral weeks. perhaps through
the summer, 1t says.
TN spite Of evidence sug-
gestfng that . rather strong
economic recovery is under
way, there IS no apparent
reason for the monetary
authorities to begin imposing
restraints on bank credit ex-
pansion," the review continues.
Bank loans still are being
paid down, partly out Of pro-
ceedS Of new market flota-
tions. and money supply growth
has been most sluggish" it
adds. "While the economy has
come q long distance from
recession, there Is still a con-
siderable distance to go before
demands begin to press upon
the economy's capacity to
produce goods"
The review points out that
in inid-May. Federal govern
Inent obligations were quoted
to yield about 314 per cent for
a three-year maturity, 3Ss per
cent for six years and 81 per
cent for long-terTn issues. BY
mid-June the interest rate
curve for Federal obligations
Ssloped upward from 315 per
cent for three years to SO per
cent for long-term issues.
Yields on corporate and tax
exempt obligations advanced by
comparable amounts.
The sharp upward adjust
ment Of rates was due princi-
pally to continued heavy supply
Of, new corporate and munich
pal offerings, but market ex-
pectations Of future rate move
ments also were important, the
review declares.
.AS the steady stream Of
economic statistics made it
more and more apparent that
q strong recovery was in prog
reSs, it became evident that
the downward yield adjustment
that had taken place early in
May was not supportable," it
comments.
"In fact, the prospect that a
strong business recovery accom-
panied by rising credit de-
.mands would result in q tighter
Federal Reserve policy and
higher rates later In the year
called for an immediate an
ticipatory adjustment to higher
rates. Reports that the Treas
iury might offer another ad-
vance refunding. although in
accurate, contributed to the up
ward pressure on interest rates.
as did testimony by Chair
man Martin and other Federal
Reserve officials which was in
terpreted to mean the Federal
Reserve would not resist higher
interest rates as business re-
covery continues"
