Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available
based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created
through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned
versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was
employed, some imperfections may remain.
Please note that some material may have been redacted from this document if that
material was received on a confidential basis. Redacted material is indicated by
occasional gaps in the text or by gray boxes around non-text content. All redacted
passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic
format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced
tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other
blemishes caused after initial printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optical character recognition computer program (OCR)
first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive,
staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and
tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
The Domestic Economy
Autos.
Seasonally adjusted sales of new domestic-type autos
in the first 10 days of June were at an 8.6 million unit annual rate,
a little below the same period last year, and appreciably below the
10.1 million average of the first five months of this year.
New homes sold by merchant builders dropped further in April
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 667,000, the lowest in more
than a year.
While homes available for sale edged down from their
recent peak, they equaled a record 7.6 months' supply at the reduced
April rate of sales.
Partly reflecting upgrading in the mix of demands,
however, the median price of homes sold in April advanced further--to
$32,800, up more than $6,000 from a year earlier and well above the
median price of homes still for sale.
The median price of existing homes sold in April was $28,670,
little changed from March and about 8 percent higher than in April of
last year.
Unlike merchant-builder sales of new homes, unit sales of
existing homes were quite strong, at a level 13 percent above a year
earlier.

The Domestic Financial Situation
Nonbank thrift institutions.
Estimates of deposits flows
into mutual savings banks have been revised upward for the month of
May.
It now appears that the 5 percent annual growth rate recorded in
April was maintained during May.
Moreover, data from the New York
State mutual savings banks indicate that net deposit flows during the
first 5 business days of June were $34 million, about equal to the
$37 million inflow in the comparable period in May, although below the
$52 million received in early June a year ago.
Mortgage rates.
Average rates on home mortgages increased
slightly further during May.
According to the HUD(FHA)
field office
opinion survey which reflects market conditions toward the end of the
month, the average contract interest rate on conventional first newhome mortgages in the primary market rose 5 basis points to 7.95 percent,
the highest level since January 1971 and 40 basis points above the
recent low in March 1972.
The corresponding rate for conventional
existing-home mortgages increased by 10 basis points to 8.00 percent.
The average yield on FHA/VA mortgages in the private secondary market
(including loans eligible for GNMA discount subsidy but excluding loans
in the FNMA auction) increased 6 basis points to 7.79 percent--34
basis points above the low in March 1972.
Based on data for early May,
the average effective interest
rate on the limited volume of new commitments being made to prospective
homebuyers for FHA/VA home mortgages was up by 7 basis points, according
to the HUD series initiated last year.
Rates on new-home loan commit-
ments increased by more (14 basis points) than rates on existing-home
loan commitments (5 basis points).

NOTE:
FHA series: interest rates on conventional first mortgages (excluding
additional initial fees and charges) are rounded by FHA to the nearest
5 basis points. On FHA loans carrying the 7 percent ceiling rate in
effect since mid-February 1971, a change of 1.0 points in discount is
associated with a change of 12 to 14 basis points in yield. Gross
yield spread is average mortgage return, before deducting servicing
costs, minus average yield on new Aaa utility bonds.

CORRECTION:
The May 11, 1973 Supplement had an error in Appendix B, "The Treasury's
Proposals for Tax Change". The revenue effect noted on page B-3 that would
result from simplification of tax forms should have read "$0.4 billion",
instead of "$4 billion".
-4Consumer instalment credit delinquencies.
The delinquency
rate on consumer instalment loans at commercial banks has increased
further, according to the ABA series to be released later this month.
For loans delinquent 30 to 89 days, the seasonally adjusted delinquency
rate was 1.81 percent at the end of April, up from 1.72 percent in
February and 1.55 percent a year earlier.
Within categories, the rate
rose on personal, home appliance, and indirect auto loans, and declined
somewhat on direct auto loans.
At major finance companies the delinquency rate on auto contracts declined in April for the third consecutive month after seasonal
adjustment.
Contracts delinquent over 30 days averaged 2.19 percent of
the total, approaching the more moderate levels of mid-1972.
Other
measures of collection experience, such as contracts refinanced, units
repossessed, and losses on repossessions sold, were virtually unchanged
from a year ago.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX A:
BANK CREDIT REVISION *
Reflecting data now available from the December 31, 1972, Call
Report, seasonally adjusted bank credit data (last-Wednesday of month series)
have been revised for the period July 1972 through April 1973. These
revised data have been used in the current Greenbook tables.
December Call Report data indicate that growth in commercial bank
credit was at a somewhat faster pace in the second hald of 1972 than had
been estimated previously on the basis of incomplete information. The
additional credit expansion was reflected in all three credit areas--loans,
U.S. Treasury securities, and other securities (Table I). A substantial
part of the upward revision was associated with a too low estimate of
credit growth between the last-Wednesday of December (December 27) and
December 31. In addition to the usual "window dressing" during this period,
a Treasury note financing occurred and net bank acquisitions of these
securities were apparently underestimated. But holdings of other securities
and loans also increased more rapidly in the last few days of December than
had been indicated previously.
Over the second half of 1972, (Table II) total bank credit increased
at an annual rate of 15.5 per cent, compared with an estimated 14.2 per cent.
Corresponding figures for the fourth quarter were 16.4 per cent and 14.4 per
cent, with the month of December showing the most substantial differences.
Again, reflecting in part the "window dressing" error, credit growth in the
first quarter of 1973 was lower than estimated--18.4 per cent versus 20.3
per cent.
Business, real estate, agricultural, security, and nonbank financial
loans were all higher on the December call date than had been previously estimated. However, business loans were only nominally higher with practically
no change in annual rates. Real estate loans were considerably higher increasing at an annual rate of 19.7 per cent over the second half of 1972 compared
with an estimated 17.9 per cent. Consumer loans--which are taken from
Consumer Credit statistics--were not affected by the benchmark revision.
Differences between total loans on the old and revised series also
reflect the incorporation of revised data for commercial interbank loans which
are deducted from total loans. The method of estimating these interbank loans
was changed somewhat recently and the use of the new series contributed to
differences in levels and
*
month-to-month changes in total loans.

B1 SUPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX B
QUARTERLY SURVEY OF CHANGES IN BANK LENDING PRACTICES
May 15, 1973
Approximately three-fourths of the respondents in the Bank
Lending Practices Survey as of May 15 reported stronger C&I loan demands,
while approximately two-thirds anticipated further strengthening of C&I
demands over the next three months. (Table 1) Terms and conditions
surrounding C&I lending virtually without exception were more restrictive,
yielding the classic picture of tightening in a period of monetary restraint.
In addition, banks were notably less willing to make nonresidential mortgage
loans, participation loans, loans to brokers and dealers, and term loans
to business, though there was no evidence of less willingness to lend to
consumers.
Significant tightening occurred in all terms and conditions
surrounding C&I lending, with the greatest move toward restriction in
interest rates. The prime rate rose one percentage point over the interval covered by the survey, and 80 per cent of the respondents indicated
more restrictive interest rate policies. The next greatest swing was in
tighter policies regarding compensating balances, where over half of the
banks reported greater firmness. Appreciably more stringent standards
of credit worthiness and lessened willingness to make term loans to
nonfinancial business were reported as well.
In reviewing credit lines and loan applications bankers also
adopted firmer attitudes. Over half focused restraint on new or nonlocal service area customers. Comments made on the Survey indicated
that with pressure to keep loan commitments under control there was a
closer evaluation of the long-term benefits of new relationships and
greater selectivity in the establishment of new or increased credit lines.
Terms and conditions associated with lending to finance companies,
as might be expected, were also more restrictive--particularly regarding
interest rates and lines of credit. Bankers, moreover, indicated less
willingness to make term loans to business--with comments suggesting that
uncertainty over the future course of interest rates may be a factor.
Broker-dealer loans and mortgages--especially mortgages for nonresidential
construction--also have fallen from favor. In fact, with only one exception,
consumer instalment loans, bankers, on balance, were less willing to make
loans of all types. The relative attractiveness of consumer instalment
loans may be attributable to the current rate structure where there are
pressures to hold down the prime rate and only sluggish upward movements
in mortgage rates.
*
Prepared by Richard H. Puckett, Senior Economist, Banking Section,
Division of Research and Statistics.
B-2
In examining differences in responses by bank size in Table 2,
it appears that a somewhat greater proportion of larger banks ($1 billion
and above in total deposits) expected stronger C&I loan demands in the
future. Perhaps because they service a greater number of large national
customers, a smaller per cent of the bigger banks reported more restrictive
policies regarding credit worthiness and nonlocal service area customers.
There were relatively few other substantial differences by bank size.
But the larger banks were more restrictive towards term loan maturity, and
placed less emphasis on the value of loan applicants as depositors.
Although by District, there were differences in responses on
specific questions, these seemed to be largely random and not systematically
associated with one area or the other.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX C
QUARTERLY SURVEY OF BANK LOAN COMMITMENTS *
April 30, 1973
The April 30 Quarterly Survey of Bank Loan Commitments indicated
no growth in unused commitments over the three month interval from the
previous survey; in all previous surveys for the last three years
there had been some growth in unused commitments.
Unused C & I
commitments actually decreased over the interval, while commitments
for loans to nonbank financial institutions and for real estate mortgages
grew at rates substantially lower than in the previous survey.
Table 1A.)
(See
Although new commitments (Table 1B) grew at a high rate,
these partly represented seasonal renewals and reviews of credit lines
and were otherwise offset by large takedowns, expirations, and cancellations
(Table 1C).
Over sixty per cent of the respondents to the survey
expected an increase in the rate of takedowns over the next three months.
In addition, nearly seventy per cent reported more restrictive commitment
policies (Table 2).
Unused commitments to C & I firms, constituting the largest
part of the total, actually declined .9 per cent over the three month
period from the previous survey date.
This decline was attributable to
fairly substantial reductions in confirmed lines of credit, though, in
addition, the rate of increase in commitments for term and revolving
credits was lower than for any survey period in a year.
Unused commitments to nonbank financial institutions, the next
largest component in the total, grew by 1.7 per cent--also the smallest
rate of increase in a year.
*
Weakness in commitments to finance
Prepared by Richard H. Puckett, Senior Economist, Banking Section,
Division of Research and Statistics.
C- 2
companies was only partly offset by strength in commitments to other
nonbank financial institutions, which perhaps reflects institutions
such as savings and loan associations attempting to secure alternative
sources of funds in the face of slackening deposit inflows.
The growth rate in unused commitments for mortgages was
appreciably stronger than that for loans to nonbank financial institutions
or for C & I loans.
This relative strength was almost entirely
attributable to the rapid growth in commitments for residential
mortgages which was offset only partially by a decline in commitments
in the nonresidential sector.
Despite the zero growth shown in unused commitments, new
commitments were strong and apparently heavily influenced by seasonal
reviews and renewals of expiring lines of credit.
are focused on confirmed lines of credit.
Such reviews often
And, new commitments for
confirmed lines grew at a rate of nearly 25 per cent over the three
month interval.
This large increase was partly offset by substantial
decreases in other new commitments for C & I purposes such as for
term loans and revolving credits.
New commitments to nonbank financial
institutions were strong, except for mortgage warehousing, while new
commitments for real estate mortgages actually declined.
Takedowns, expirations, and cancellations, as might be expected,
were also large--particularly for confirmed C & I lines where, as noted
previously, seasonal reviews were of particular importance.
Takedowns,
expirations, and cancellations were large for C & I term and revolving
credits as well.
C- 3
In reports on commitment policies, of 48 respondents, the
15 that reported unused commitments had risen were outweighted by the
21 that indicated unused had declined.
Moreover, 30 stated that
takedowns in the next three months probably would rise, as against
only 1 that expected a decline.
And, 33 said commitment policies
compared to three months earlier were more restrictive, while none
moved in the direction of easier policies.
Of the 33 adopting a
more restrictive stance, 16 pointed to both reduced funds availability
and increased commitment demands as the sources of the policy change;
9 cited increased demand alone; 8 isolated reduced funds availability
as the sole factor.
