Prime Interest

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW
WHAT FAMILY PLANNING IS ALL ABOUT?
NEW YORK (AP)-Several of the
nation's largest banks yesterday raised
their prime interest rates to the highest
level in more-than three years, inten-
sifying upward pressure on mortgages
and other consumer loans.
The latest round of increases, which
raised the primne rate from 8 and one-
quarter percent to 8 and one-half per-
cent, was the second this month.
THE PRIME rate is the interest
banks charge to their most creditwor-
thy customers, usually corporations.
Although it is not directly tied to mor-
tgages and other consumer loans, the
prime rate exerts a psychological effect
on those loans, which already have
been on the rise in most areas.
The prime is now at its highest level
since February 1975.
Continental Illinois National Bank &
Trust Co. of Chicago, the nation's
eighth-largest commercial bank, was
the first bank to raise its rate to 8 and
If you think it means preventing
unwanted pregnancy ... you're
partly right. But it means more
than that. Like counseling young
people about how a baby before
they are ready can affect their
health or mess up their lives ...
helping couples who want to have
children but can't . . . counseling
men on male responsibility and
methods of birth control.
It's important to know all about
family planning... it means more
than you may have thought.

one-half percent, making its announ-
cement Thursday afternoon.
CONTINENTAL officials attributed
the increase to stronger demand for
loans and tighter monetary policy by
the Federal Reserve Board.
The Federal Reserve, concerned
about the high rate of inflation, has
been tightening the money supply by
raising the interest rate it charges
banks. Banks say they must pass on to
consumers that higher cost of acquiring
funds.
"We continue to experience very
strong domestic loan demand from
customers, as we have over many mon-
ths," said Robert E. Anderson, the
bank's chairman. "We are finding that
this demand is broad as well as deep,
cutting across all industry and
geographic lines."
BY MIDMORNING yesterday,
several other banks had raised their
prime rates, including Chase Manhat-
tan Bank, the nation's third-largest
bank; Manufacturers Hanover Trust
Co., the fourth-largest; Morgan
Guaranty, the fifth-largest; Chemical
Bank, the sixth-largest; Bank of New
York; First Pennsylvania Bank of
Philadelphia; and Mellon Bank of Pit-
tsburgh.
But Citiebank, the nation's second-
largest bank and generally the leader in
prime rate changes, said it was holding
at 8 and one-quarter percent.
