AN ANALYSIS OF THE TIMING OF DEPOSIT REDUCTIONS
PRIOR TO SUSPENSION IN A SELECTED GROUP OF BANKS

In earlier reports on this subject, summarized in the Federal
Reserve Bulletin, analysis was made of the comparative severity of
the presuspension withdrawals of deposits of different sizes and
types.

This discussion makes a similar examination of the timing

of deposit reductions.^
The results of the investigation may be summarized as follows:
1.

The timing of the movements of demand and time deposits

in the six months immediately preceding suspension were substantially similar.

In the last month before closing the rate of de-

cline of demand deposits was somewhat greater than that of time deposits.
2.

Minor variations appeared in the timing of personal and

business demand deposit withdrawals.

Personal demand deposits were

reduced at a slightly more rapid rate than business demand deposits
until the third month before suspension.

Business deposits then

showed a somewhat more pronounced decline than personal deposits
until the last month before closing when both classes of deposits
fell off sharply.

The basic data for these reports were derived from an investigation, financed by the Works Progress Administration, of the
records of a group of banks suspended between 1930-33. Previous
reports were published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for March
and April 1939. The present article was prepared by R.C.Breithut.




-2-

3.

There was a wide divergence in the movements of large and

small business deposits.

Large business deposits were sharply re-

duced the sixth month preceding suspension and continued an uninterrupted decline to date of suspension.

Small business deposits in-

creased in the sixth month before suspension; remained stable until
the fourth month and showed no substantial contraction until the
last month before closing.
In general, the movements of local and nonlocal business
deposits closely coincided.

The withdrawals of small local busi-

ness deposits tended to precede those of small nonlocal business
deposits.
5.

The changes in the deposits of different types of busi-

ness showed wide variation.

In all business groups, however, large

business deposits were withdrawn more promptly than small ones.
6.

Personal deposits show earlier declines the larger the

size of the account.

Deposits in accounts of #2,500 and over fell

off sooner than deposits of #500 to #2,499 and the deposits in
this size group in turn were more promptly withdrawn than those of
less than #500.
7.

Changes revealed in the number of open accounts during

last six months before closing were distinctly less sharp and varied
than the changes which occurred in deposit balances.

Most severe

deposit drains resulted from a reduction of balances rather than
the closing of accounts.




The Scope of the Data and Methods of Analysis
As pointed out in earlier reports, deposit movements discernable in a particular group of suspended banks are not necessarily
representative of movements in banks of different sizes or those
suspended at different times or under different circumstances. For
this analysis the basic data were drawn from a group of 124 banks
of varying sizes.

Measured on dates prior to severe deposit de-

clines, the smallest bank included in this sample had total deposits of less than $50;000 and the largest slightly in excess of
$325,000,000.

The bonk suspensions discussed here occurred between

November 1930 and July 1933.

Three of these banks were suspended

in 1930; 34 in 1931; 28 in 1932; and 59 in 1933.

The distribution

by location and size of the banks composing the sample is summarized
in Table 1.

In general, the sample banks were much larger than the

typical bank suspended at this time; and the proportion of banks
located in eastern and midwestern industrial centers is higher in
this sample than in all bank suspensions.

The combined deposits

of all sample banks as of date of suspension represented about 18$
of the total deposits of all banks suspended during this period.
Certain technical obstacles, however, made it impossible to
classify all of the deposits of all of the banks included in the
sample.

In making this analysis, therefore, it was necessary to

adapt the method of measurement tc the statistical adequacy of the
basic sources.

For 82 banks a continuous monthly record of total

demand and total deposits from January 1928 to date of suspension

was available.

This information was used for the purpose of com-

paring the timing of time and demand deposit withdrawals and for
certain other purposes.

In examining the movement of different

types and sizes of demand deposits, information was drawn from
the entire sample of 124 banks.
The present discussion deals with the timing of the withdrawal
of deposits of different types and sizes in the six months immediately preceding suspension.

It must be emphasized that not all

banks experienced exceptionally severe losses of deposits in the
last months before closing and that in some banks heavy withdrawals
of deposits began more than a year before date of suspension.

In-

vestigation indicates, however, that a preponderance of these banks
experienced withdrawals during the last six months which carried
total deposits well below previous levels.
Deposits outstanding in different type and size classes are
measured on selected dates in each of the six months immediately
preceding suspension.

Dates were chosen which appeared to yield

figures most closely approximating average monthly balances. y
The deposits in each class in the sixth month preceding suspension
is then used as a base for calculating the percentage of deposits
in each class outstanding in each of the subsequent months and on
date of suspension.

Thus for each class the deposits in each of

After some experimentation, the date chosen for all banks was the

the last 5 months and on date of suspension are expressed as percentages of the deposits outstanding in the sixth month.

This

method makes it possible to compare the rates of increase and decrease of different classes of deposits and the timing of deposit
withdrawals.

It should be noted, however, that the absolute fig-

ures for deposits in the sixth month will be different for different classes of deposits and that, on the basis of these figures,
it is impossible to draw conclusions concerning the absolute magnitude of the withdrawals allocable to different classes of deposits.i/

The Timing of Demand and Time Deposit Withdrawals
In Table 2 and Chart 1 the movements of total deposits and of
time end demand deposits are compared.

The basic information for

this table was derived from the 82 sample banks for which a continuous monthly record of figures is available.

Total deposits show

an uninterrupted decline from the sixth month before suspension until date of suspension.

During the first five months of this per-

iod, however, the rate of decline was distinctly less severe than
it is in the lest month.

Thus, the combined withdrawals of the

first five months reduced total deposits less than eight per cent
of their level on the sixth month; whereas the withdrawals of the

The comparative magnitude of presuspension withdrawals of deposits of different types and sizes is discussed in reports published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for March and April 1939.

last month represented more than 12 per cent of total deposits at
the opening of the period.

The comparison of time and demand de-

posits indicates that the sharp reduction in total deposits in the
last month before suspension can be traced to heavy withdrawals of
demand deposits.

The total decline of time deposits for the first

five months was somewhat less than seven per cent of total time deposits on the sixth month before suspension.

In the last month the

decline became more rapid, however, resulting in a reduction of
seven per cent for this month alone.

The record of demand deposits

is similar for the first five months but the withdrawals of the
last month were much more substantial and represented almost 20 per
cent of total demand deposits at the opening uf the period.

Thus

for both classes of deposits withdrawals were comparatively light
for the first five months and accelerated in the last month before
suspension.

Reductions of demand deposits, however, were recogniz-

ably sharper than reductions of time deposits.

Analysis of the Timing of Demand Deposit Movements
In order to make a detailed analysis of the timing of the withdrawal of demand deposits from accounts of different types and
sizes, information was collected from the 124 banks described above.
For various technical reasons, however, it was impossible to include
all demand deposits accounts in all sample banks.

Taking the sample

as a whole the deposits outstanding on date of suspension in the
accounts selected represented 23.5 of all demand deposits, and in-




-9-

vestigation indicates that the demand deposits selected present an
approximate representation of the timing of total demand deposit
withdrawals.
The Movement of Business and Personal Accounts
In Table 3 and Chart 2 the timing of withdrawals from business
and personal accounts is compared.

During the early months of the

period the movement of both classes of deposits was similar.

In

the third and second months before suspension, business deposits declined more sharply than personal deposits and a noticeable discrepancy appeared in the proportion of each class of deposits withdrawn
one month before suspension.

The rate of reduction of personal de-

posits increased markedly in the last month, however, and the discrepancy was smaller on date of suspension than it was a month earlier.
Table 4 presents a more detailed analysis of the movement of
business demand deposits, and supplies the basic figures for Charts
3, 4, 5, and 6.

Chart 3 compares the timing of the withdrawal of

business deposits under #10,000 and of deposits of #10,000 and
over, and reveals a marked contrast in the behavior of these two
groups of accounts.

Business deposits of #10,000 and over declined

uninterruptedly throughout the period.

The rate of decline was

comparatively slow in the opening months; and became more severe
between the third month before suspension and date of suspension.
Business deposits under #10,000 increased somewhat during the
first two months of the period; then declined sharply for one
month; and continued the decline during the last four months before
closing but at a rate of reduction less rapid than that of large

business deposits.

Chart 4 compares the timing of withdrawals of

local and nonlocal business deposits.

The two classes of accounts

display strikingly similar movement, but local business deposits
declined at an approximately consistent rate throughout the period
and the shrinkage of nonlocal deposits was less regular.

Chart 5

and 6 analyze the rate of reduction of large and small local and
nonlocal business deposits independently.

The movements of large

local and nonlocal business deposits are similar and exhibit characteristics resembling those observed in the comparison of all
local and nonlocal business deposits.

Such differences as appear

in the timing of the reductions of small local and nonlocal deposits indicate that small local deposits decline more promptly
than small nonlocal deposits.

The Movement of Business Demand Deposits Classified by Type of
Business
Table 5 and Chart 7 present summaries of the timing of withdrawals of business demand deposits classified by type of "business.
The presuspension movements of the tabulated business classes appear to be divisible into two groups.

The variations in the de-

posits of businesses engaged in Mining and Manufacturing* in Automobile Distribution, and in Finance were substantially similar.
The deposits of Building and Construction and of Transportation
and Public Utility enterprises, however, show violent fluctuations
differing markedly from those of the other business groups.
Table 6 analyzes the movement of some of these groups in detail.

Comparison of the rate of withdrawal of large and small deposits
of financial enterprises reveals that pronounced reductions in
large deposits occurred well in advance of any substantial shrinkage in small deposits.

If large financial deposits are further

divided into those held locally and nonlocally, it appears that nonlocal deposits remained stable until the third month before suspension and then began a sharp but interrupted decline.

Local finan-

cial deposits of $10,000 and over, however, were withdrawn continuously from the sixth month preceding suspension until date of suspension.

The deposits of businesses engaged in Mining and Manufac-

turing and Automobile Distribution show a similar discrepancy in
the timing of the withdrawals of large and small deposits.

Compar-

isons of the fluctuations of different sized deposits of Building
and Construction companies and of Transportation and Public Utility
enterprises suggest that whatever the causes of the erratic movement of these deposits large deposits generally were withdrawn earlier than small ones.

The Timing: of Personal Demand Deposit Withdrawals
Table 7 and Chart 8 present summaries of the movement of personal demand deposits of different sizes.

Deposits in accounts of

less than #500 increased markedly in the sixth month before suspension, remained stable for the next four months and then fell off
abruptly.

Balances in accounts of #500-^2,499 began a moderate but

continuous decline in the sixth month before closing which concluded

with sharp reductions in the last month of the period.

Accounts

of $2,500-$4,999 showed presuspension deposit changes closely resembling those of accounts of $5,000 and over, which maintained a
rate of reduction in excess of those of either of the smaller deposit groups throughout the ^period.
Table 8 presents figures for sample banks grouped by the size
of the communities in which they are located similar to the data
for all sample banks discussed above.

In general, the timing of

the withdrawals of deposits of different types and sizes resembles
those observed in the earlier discussion.

The movement in subur-

ban business deposits, however, exhibits somewhat exceptional characteristics.

Changes in the Number of Open Accounts
In this article attention has been primarily directed to the
timing of reductions of deposit balances.

Table 9 analyzes changes

in the number of the open accounts to which these balances were
credited.

It is clear that the presuspension decreases in the num-

ber of open accounts were less sharp and less varied than the
changes found in deposit balances.

It is noteworthy also that the

greatest declines took place in small personal accounts, a group
in which the withdrawals of balances were comparatively tardy and
least pronounced.

Thus it appears that the most severe deposit

drains are a result of a reduction of balances rather than the closing 'of accounts.
