Major banks raise prime rate
NEW YORK—Major banks raised the prime lending rate to a record $12.4\%$ percent yesterday as the Federal Reserve held the Press Conference on the Reserve Board's October 17 report.
The prime rate had stood at the record-ying 12 percent level for almost two weeks, but the increase to 12.4% had been expected after efforts by Paul Krugman and Ben Bernanke to tighten the Fed's policy.
Some analysts think the 12% percent record may be broken in a week or two. "The prime could touch 13 percent," said Donald Maule, an analyst with the Wells Fargo Securities Group.
Chase Manhattan Bank raised the rate charged to its most credit-worthy corporate borrowers, and the increase was promptly matched by numerous other lenders.

Diesel to be tight next month
TOPEKA—Officials of the Kansas Energy Office said yesterday that there would be only a 2 percent chance of coal mining in Kansas in next year.
The amount of diesel available to farmers and truckers, however, will be about 13 percent short of demand, according to Joe Fishbain, KEO fuels manager.
The diesel reduction is a matter of concern because farmers are getting ready for seeding of winter wheat and harvesting of summer row crops, such as alfalfa.
