Four More Banks
Up Interest Rate
Washington ftl.R) Four
more Federal Reserve banks
raised their interest rates today
in line with the government's
anti-inflation policy.
Federal reserve banks at Bos
ton, Atlanta, St. Louis and Dal
las pushed their interest rates to
the 3 per cent level adopted by
five other banks last week.
Two already were charging
the higher rate. The bank at
Kansas City is now the only one
in the Federal Reserve system
still holding the old 23i per cent
level.
The 3 per cent rate Is the
highest since the "bank holiday"
of 1933. Whenever the reserve
system steps up the rate charged
to member banks that borrow
from the system, it tends to
make all borrowing more expen
sive by forcing up interest rates
throughout the economy. This
normally tends to reduce bor
rowing. The latest round of increases
began last week when the banks
at New York, Philadelphia,
Richmond and Chicago jumped
to 3 per cent. San Francisco
and Minneapolis already were
at that leveL Cleveland soon
followed suit.
