ADDFlESS OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

January 19, 1927

SUBJECT:

Weekly Reports of Amounts Du.e to and Du.e from
Banks.

Dear Sir:
It has been felt for some time past that the figures
which are renorted each week by member bankS in leading cities,
other.than Federal reserve bank cities, have not been adequate to
permit the drawing of reasonably satisfactory conclusions, regarding local banking conditions, principally because of the lack of
information regarding the movement of :fUnds into and out of the
respective localities. The Board has therefore decided to ask
you to have all of the reportixt€ member banks iu leading cities,
instead of only those in Federal reserve bank cities as at present• show amounts due to banks and bankers and amounts due from
b~ and bankers in their weekly condition reports •
.A.ccordingl;y 1 t will be &p!)recia ted if ;you will ins t-ru.ct
renorting member banks in your district to show these figares in
their r~orts beginning with February 2. !he information should
be reported to the· Board against the same code words as are now
used for reporting this information for Federal reserve bank
cities, i.e., H'DPS for amounts due to banks and brmk:ers, and HOTE
for amounts due from banks and bankers. Upon receipt of these
figures the Board will show amou:a ts due to bankB and amounts due
from ba.nks for all r~rting member banks and for reporting member ba.Dks in Bn York C1 ty and in Chicago on page 2 of the weekl;y
statement. On page 3 of the weekly statement amounts due to banks
and amounts due from banks will be shown for all reporting member
ba~ in each district, instead of for reporting member banks in
Federal reserve bank cities only as at present.
Very tru.ly yours,

Walter L. lddy,
Secretary. ·
