Note: Due to the fact that balances due from banks are deductible from demand deposits subject to reserve, a withdrawal of such balances results
in seme increase in required reserves. If allowance is made for this, two banks would move from group 2 to group 3 an<* ^ould have small
deficiencies in reserves aft®r converting one-half of bank balances into reserve balances.

Notes Due to tho fact that baiane:es due from bardes are deductible from demand deposits subject to reserve, a withdrawal of such balances results in
some increase in reserve requirements. If allowance is made for this, a number of the banks in group 2 vrould move into group 3 and vould
have scia© deficiencies in rosorves after converting one-half of bank balances into reserve balances.
1/ This aggregate net deficiency is due to the increase in reserve requirements which results from a withdrawal of balances due from B-1259
banks.
