The nation’s thrift industry reported a $2.4-billion rise in regulatory capital for September, adding to a capital gain of $6.1 billion in the previous month, according to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Meanwhile, net over-the-counter deposit withdrawals from thrifts were $1.8 billion in September, substantially less than the $3 billion of net withdrawals in August and only slightly higher than a year earlier. Interest credited to deposit accounts increased seasonally to $7.6 billion and more than offset the net deposit withdrawals.
