FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD WASHINGTON January 17, 19 2 4, St. 3298. * SUBJECT: Revision of Weekly Federal Reserve Bank Statement* Dear S i r : The revised form of the Board's weekly press s t a t e ment showing condition of Federal reserve banks, a copy of which was attached to l e t t e r St, 3888 of January 9, 1924, provides for showing holdings of U« S, bonds and Treasury notes separately. Inasmuch as weekly statements issued dur- ing 1923 showed only a combined t o t a l of "U. S. bonds and notes," and as the consolidated statements issued at some of of the Federal reserve banks give comparative figures for the preceding year, the attached statement has been prepared giving the d i s t r i b u t i o n of U. S, bonds and notes held by the twelve Federal reserve banks combined on each weekly s t a t e ment date during 1923. It w i l l be noted that the figures appearing under the caption "Treasury notes" include Victory notes up to May l6, 1923, and these figures should carry an appropriate note, as was done in the Board's weekly press statement for January 9, 1924, copies of which have already been sent t o you. Very truly yours, E, L. Srnead, Chief, Division of Bank Operations, TO A£L FEDERAL RESERVE AGENTS $ Me** i; 487 St. 3898a U. 8.
