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
