ADDRESS REPLY TO
FE D E R A L RESERVE B O AR D

Dear Sir
Referring to recent purchases by Federal reserve banks of
U. S« 3 per cent cernifrcaxes of indebtedness, and with the view of
avoiding confusion and diversity of statements, may we request that
the Federal reserve banks report to the Board on schedules S~2 the
gross amounts of U. S« certificates purchased by them, stating onthe same sheets ~
(1 ) Amounts sold on date of purchase, and not carried
to earning assets;
(2)

Amounts not sold on date of purchase, but carried
to the bankfs earning assets, even though the
bank expects to dispose of the certificates on
the day following*

Whenever certificates which had been carried to the bank*s
earning assets are sold, it will be necessary for the Federal reservebank to send us schedules S~2, descriptive of- such sales, regardless
of whether the sale has been effected one or more

days after purchase*

In order to complete our records of transactions of this
class, may we ask you to send us a schedule for the month of April
giving -




(1)
(2)
(3)
(U)

Amounts of U. S- certificates bought;
Amounts of certificates immediately sold>
Amounts carried to earning assets;
Amounts sold after having been included among earning
assets *
Respectfully,

Secretary
