Several of the nation’s biggest banks increased their prime lending rate to 7.75 percent from 7.5 per cent Wednesday, following the pre vious day’s increases by New York’s Citibank and Chase Manhattan Bank. The prime — a benchmark used to set interest on a variety of cor porate and consumer credit — had been 7.5 percent since Aug. 26. The jump to 7.75 percent was the first since banks raised the prime to 13 percent from 12.5 percent in June 1984. The major pressures to boost the prime rate come from prospects of higher inflation and from the rise in short-term interest rates over the past several months, which has in creased the banks’ cost of borrowing in the money markets. The sharp fall of the dollar has been a major factor in the rise in short-term rates. A weak dollar re duces the returns on dollar-denomi- nated assets for foreign investors, who then seek to offset the drop with higher rates from banks that borrow billions in the global money markets. “This (prime increase) is not nec essarily a judgment by money center banks that rates are going to go up on a sustained basis,” said William Sullivan, director of money market research for Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. “It’s more of a recognition of the reality of rising rates” caused by the recent instability of the dollar, Sulli van said. Rates also have risen on specu lation that the Federal Reserve might push interest rates higher to encourage dollar-buying in the mar kets, although many economists dis count that possibility for the near fu ture. The major banks also face profit pressures because of their loans to Third World countries. The banks, which have billions of dollars in out standing loans to developing na tions, have been refinancing much of the credit at lower interest rates in the face of possible default by the debtors. At the same time, the trade dis pute between the United States and Japan has increased speculation that the dollar would fall further and Congress would enact protectionist legislation, both of which threaten to boost inflation and, in turn, interest rates.

Lawmakers said that while the 31,000 individuals likely to reshape financial operations to skirt the limit through 1989 represent only a few bad apples among the 2.2 million U.S. farmers, the budgetary impact already has been significant. Calls for loophole-closing legis lation accompanied a report from the General Accounting Office, a watchdog for Congress that esti mated reshaped farming operations have cost taxpayers an extra $328 million since 1984. Farm lawmakers said the trend could mean reopening the 1985 Farm Act under pressure from ur ban congressmen in the name of fis cal restraint. The Reagarl administration and many lawmakers pin hopes for revi talization of the farm economy on the 1985 law’s stress on stimulating exports through admittedly expen sive subsidies. This year’s program carries an estimated $26 billion price tag. Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., told the House subcommittee on wheat, soybeans and feedgrains it had au thority not only over those commo dities but over “another commodity — and that may be the most impor tant of all — and that is political in tegrity.” “Unless we can demonstrate to our colleagues who would cut these programs in favor of their own that our house is in order, we must in deed worry about these pressures,” Glickman said. Rep. Arlan Stangeland, R-Minn., urged lawmakers to make sure that a minority of farmers are not just draining the treasury. GAO representatives demon strated various means used to avert the $50,000 ceiling on so-called defi ciency payments made by the Agri culture Department to those who participate in the farm program, in cluding setting up dummy corpora tions and family trusts. But they qualified that such re structuring represented the ex tremes and not the norm. They did say minor children have in some cases been made partners with their parents to obtain extra $50,000 pay ments. Deficiency payments are made on a “per person” basis and thus a farmer who brings in his son as a partner can double the amount of the payment without any increase in production. In the past, federal price supports have at times in effect set the U.S. market price. These supports were lowered under the 1985 legislation to reduce the market price and thus make U.S. farm goods more compet itive abroad.

Vuono, head of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, will be nominated by President Rea gan to become the service’s next chief of staff, the White House says. The White House announced the decision on Tuesday, at the same time the Pentagon disclosed that Ft. Gen. Frederick F. Woerner Jr. had been tapped to receive his fourth star and take over the sensitive U.S. Southern Command in Panama, the joint U.S. military organization re sponsible for all American forces de ployed in Central America. Pentagon sources had earlier dis closed the 52-year-old Vuono had won the endorsement of Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger and was virtually assured of becom ing the Army’s top military officer this summer. Vuono will succeed Gen. John A. Wuckham Jr., who by law must re tire in June after serving four years as the chief of staff. Vuono and Woerner, currently the commander of the Sixth Army in San Francisco, must both be con firmed by the Senate before assum ing their new jobs. Vuono is a West Point graduate, artilleryman and Vietnam veteran who won his fourth star in July 1986 when he assumed his current post. He is a native of Monongahela, Pa., who has gained wide experience in both field and staff positions.
