Federal Reserve Board,
August 2, 1319'

CONDITION OF JSIETtAL RT j IJIYZ BiKI'S.

Reduction by about 4S millions in the Government deposit account, together
with moderate liquidation of discounts and acceptances is indicated in oho
Federal Reserve Board’ s weekly bank statement issued as at close of business
on August 1,

1919*

Gold reserves show a further decline of b»7 millions,

larger withdrawals of gold for export having been offset in part through gold
deposits by the Treasury.
War paper on hand shows a decline for the week of 3

millions, other dis­

counts - a decline of l6.1 millions and acceptances - a decline of 0»S million •
War paper holdings of the Chicago, St* Louis and Minneapolis banks are inclusive
of

99,3 millions discounted for other Federal Reserve banks, as against 24*9

millions shown the week before, while acceptances on hand at the Cleveland and
San Francisco banks include 4-7*3 millions ( as against 4?>»6 millions) of ac­
ceptances acquired frcm other Federal Reserve banks*

Treasury certificates,

largely to secure F. R. banc note circulation, went up about 6 millions, largely
at the New York and Chicago banks*

This increase goes hand in hand with an in­

crease of 7 .1 millions in F. R, bank note circulation.
As against the substantial decrease in Government deposits indicated,
members’ reserve deposits show an increase of 24.1 millions, the "float11 car­
ried by the Reserve banks - an increase of 3*1 millions and net deposits a decline of 30«4 millions*

Federal Reserve notes in circulation went up

2.3 millions, while total cash reserves declined 4 .7 millions. The banks’ re­
serve ratio, because of the relatively large reduction in deposit liabilities
shows a rise from 50*2 to




50*5 P^r cent*
