St. 725
Federal Reserve Board,
November 29, 1919*

CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS.
Further reductions of 66*7 millions in loans secured ty stocks and bonds and
of 20*9 millions in the holdings of Government securities; a moderate increase in
war paper, and a decrease of 32*7 millions in all other loans and investments are
indicated by the Foderal Reserve Board’s weekly statement of condition on Nov­
ember 21, 1919 , of 791 member banks in leading cities*
United States bonds on hand declined ty 0*7 million , Victory notes by 5*7
millions, and Treasury certificates by l4«5 millions.

Of the total reduction in

loans secured ty stocks and bonds 59*1 millions constituted the amount of net
liquidation at the New York City member banks.

Total loans and investments are

shown 111*7 millions less than the week before, the New York banks reporting a
decrease of 82*8 millions under this head*
Aggregate holdings of war securities and war paper are given as 2t8C5»'l mil­
lions, compared with 2 ,.817*5 millions the week before and constitute, just as the
week before, 18,1 per cent of total loans and investments of all reporting banks.
In harmony with the reduction in loans all classes of deposits show substantial
decreases, Government deposits declining ty 5^*7 millions, other demand deposits
(net) by 95*1 millions, and time deposits ty 5*2 millions* Reserve balances with
Federal Reserve banks went down 19*3 millions,while cash in vault shows a gain of
l.S millions. Accommodation at the Federal Reserve banks, as measured by the
total of the reporting banks* own collateral notes and of customers* paper redis­
counted likewise shows a moderate reduction of 11*4 millions.

It may be noted that

while changes in the amounts of the-member banks* own collateral notes do not af­
fect the amounts of loans and discounts carried among their assets, the amounts
of rediscounted customers’ bills are deducted from the aggregate loans and dis­
counts shown among the assets of those banks.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

DIVISION OF REPORTS AND STATISTICS,
DECEMBER 6, 1919

statement for the peess

Released for publication

Federal Reserve Beard
Dec. 6 , !<£.?.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.
Net reduction V

132.7 millions of war paper, apparently in connection with

substantial liquidation of Treasury certificates by member banks, is indicaterl in
the Federal Reserve Board1s weekly bank statement issued as at close of business on
December 5, 1919.

This considerable decline in war paper holdings is partly offset

ty increases of 26.6 millions of other discounted bills and 1 S.6 millions of ac­
ceptances on hand. Net deposits show a corresponding decline. As a result, the
banks* reserve ratio, notwithstanding a reduction of 5-6 millions in cash reserves
and an expansion during the week by 29*1 millions in Federal Reserve note circula­
tion shows a rise frcci 4-5*5 to 46.4 per cent.
TTar paper holdings of the Chicago and St* Louis banks are inclusive of 24.4
millions of paper discounted for other Reserve banks, as against 23-5 millions the
week before, while acceptance holdings of these two and five other banks include
124.3 millions of bills, as against 136.9 millions the week before, taken over from
the Boston and New York banks. Treasury certificates on hand show a decrease of
4,2 millions, while the circulation of F- R. bank notes, which are largely secured
ty such certificates, shows a slight increase.
All classes of deposits show declines for the week.

Government deposits — by

5S.4- millions, members' reserve deposits - by 14.4-millions, and all ether deposits,
including foreign government credits, - ty 4.7 millions.

The "float” carried by

the banks increased 50.5 millions. As a result, net deposits work out at 127-9
millions less than the week before.
Gold withdrawals for export, also further sales of gold accomt for a net re­
duction of 6 .4 millions in gold reserves, 2 .8 millions of which represent the de­
crease

in the amount held with foreign agencies.
