The credit rating of the Williams Companies, a leading pipeline concern, was reduced to BB, or junk status, by Standard & Poor's because less cash is available to the company.

Williams's failure to renew its $2.2 billion revolving loan is ''not commensurate with an investment-grade rating,'' S. &P. said.
