Market Restored By Low Mood In 1930s Paper Revival
After nine years of decline the commercial paper market on Wall Street revived in 1930 as money rates fell to postwar lows. Banks passed lower rates to depositors slowly, prompting borrowers with good credit to move from banks to the open market. Paper outstanding jumped from 265 million in 1929 to about 553 million by spring 1930, then shrank later as market rates adjusted. Banks funded via open market purchases while lending to customers declined, rebuilding a cheap money reservoir as confidence returned.
