On the monthly report of maturities, branches may report either (a) deposits and direct borrowings of $100,000 or more per individual item, or (b) all'deposits and direct borrowings. Deposits reportable include interest-bearing call, overnight and time deposits, including negotiable certificates of deposit. Not reportable are deposits on which no or only nominal interest is paid and other liabilities that are carried as deposits but are not bid for as money market liabilities. The data in the attached table are based on reports from more than 40 U. S. banks, covering more than 50 branches. The great' bulk of the deposits are in branches in Europe. Branches in London alone account for about 85 per cent of total deposits covered by the reports. For the purpose of calculating the average maturity of deposits, a maturity of 1 day was assumed for both overnight and call deposits; other deposits were assumed to mature at mid-month.
