address official correspondence t o
the federal reserve board

Larch 14, 1925
Subject:

Code word, for use "between Federal Reserve
Agents, in connection with the purchase and
allotment of bankers' acceptances.

Dear Sir:
It has been suggested to the Board that in order
to reduce the phraseology in telegrams between the Federal Reserve Agents, covering the allotment of bankers'
acceptances purchased by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Hew York, and their delivery in trust to the Federal
Reserve Agent at Hew York, an additional code word be
supplied iron the Federal Reserve Telegraphic Code.
This suggestion has been approved, and effective
March 23rd, the following code word will be used covering
the transactions referred to:
"Abstinent" Federal Reserve Bank Hew
York has delivered bankers' acceptances
aggregating $
which I hold in
trust for your account."
This code word should be inserted in the Federal
Reserve Telegraphic Code, at the bottom of page 2,
following the code word "Abstention".
Very truly yours,

J. C. Hoell,
Assistant Secretary.
To all Federal Reserve Agents.
