STATEMENT FOR THE PRSSS,
Hay 3,

1919

Discounts in some volume of war paper, also larger purchases of acceptances
are indicated in the Federal Reserve Board*s wsojtcly si/atement showing condition
of the Federal Reserve banks as at close of business on May 2, I 9 I9 ,
The wee,& saw an increase of 27

millions in the holdings of war paper as

against a cur uai3menu of 11 millions of other discounts*

Paper held under re­

discount for otner Reserve banks totaled 92*7 millions, compared with 91 millions
the week before.

In addition three Reserve banks report among their assets 4*2

millions of bank acceptances bought from other Reserve banks with their endorse­
ment, compared with 7*2 millions the week before.

Total acceptances on hand show

an increase for the week of 9 '5 millions, while Treasury certificates, largely of
the 2 per cent type to secure Federal Reserve bank note circulation, increased 2,8
the
millions* Total earning assets, as the result of^several loan and investment *
operations just described, increased by 2 S *6 millions.
Government deposits increased 51*6 millions, reserve deposits fell off 1-9*9
millions, while net deposits show a gain of 22*9 millions 4

This gain goes hand

in hand with a slight reduction in the volume of Federal Reserve notes in circu­
lation, and a decrease of 2*9 millions in cash reserves*

The result is seen in a

decline of the ban£s* reserve ratio from 52 * 1 to 5^*7 per cent*
Payment for Federal Reserve bank stock by newly admitted members, chiefly in
the Boston and LTew York districts, accounts largely fot the increase of $1S3,000
in the total of paid-in capital shown-

CONDITION OF MEMBER EAHKS*

May 3 7 1919 .
Resumption of investments in U* S . Wax: bonds by the hanks oi the country and
further redemption of Treasury ce rtific ate s are Indicated in the Uoard1 s 7/sekly
statement showing condition on April 25 of JJ2 member banks in leading c it ie s ,
Holdings of United States bonds, other than circulatio n bonds, show an in­
crease for the week of £0 *U m illions, this amount apparently representing largely
sales of Victory Notes to the reporting banks*

Treasury Certificates on hand,

show a decrease of 33*1 millions as the result of deliveries in exchange for
Victory notes and other deliveries for redemption before maturity of Certificates
due on May 6 .

Loans secured by U. S. War obligations increased 5*9 millions,

notwithstanding some net liquidation tmder this head reported by the New York
City banks,

Other loans and investments show only a slight decline*

United States war securities and war paper decreased from 3 >310 *7 millions
to 3»S04 millions and constitute 26*5 per cent of the aggregate loans and in­
vestments of all reporting banks, as against 26-6 per cent the weak before#
Government deposits show a further reduction of 127 millions, of which 92*7
millions represent net withdrawals from member banks in the 12 Federal Reserve
bank cities*

Other demand-deposits (net) increased 23*7 millions, the larger

gain at the banks in Federal Reserve centers being offset in part by aggregate
reductions of 22.1 millions shown for the banks outside these cities.
deposits increased 3*2 millions-

Time

Cash in vault shows'a similar gain, while

reserve balances with the Federal Reserve banks increased 12 millions, notwith­
standing a decline of about 5 millions tinder this head reported by the member
banks in New York City*
