accompanying schedules "be held pending a call for reports thereon.
There was also forwarded to you at the same time a supply of Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Form No. 64-c, a copy of which is inclosed.
It will he appreciated if you will advise State bank members that the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation has requested the Board to obtain for it the
information called for on this form, and ask them if they will kindly fill
out the form and mail two copies thereof to your bank.

Both copies should

then be forwarded to the Federal Reserve Board.
In order that the Board may have statistical data, regarding the aggregate loans end investments, deposits, etc., of State bank members in the hands
of conservators or other similar State officials but which have not been formally placed in liquidation or receivership, please also forward three copies
of Form 105 to each of such banks with the request that the conservator, or
other State official in charge of the bank, fill in the data called for by
the form (upon receipt of a call therefor) and mail the rer>ort to your bank in
duplicate.

Please request the officials in charge of such banks to interline

the amount of special or segregated deposits, subject to unrestricted withdrawal, against the caption "Unrestricted deposits" following item 17 of
"Liabilities", and to interline assets segregated against such deposits
opposite appropriate captions on the face of the report and in Schedule I.
Officials in charge of such banks should not be asked to furnish the data
called for in Schedule "0", nor to have the reports attested by any of the
directors of the banks.
Please advise State bank members that, although the amount of rediscounts (as reported against Item 23 of "Liabilities") should not be included
in the memorandum section below "Liabilities", the amount of any marginal or

additional collateral that may have been pledged to secure such rediscounts
should be reported as "pledged against borrowings", item 35-®» and included in
item 3^- and items 31» 32 or 33» depending on the character of the collateral.
In connection with the examination made of condition reports before they
are forwarded to the Board, it is requested that, in addition to the usual
checking, an examination be made particularly of the figures in the new memorandum section relating to loans and investments pledged to secure liabilities
in order to determine, so far as practicable, whether the figures there reported appear to be consistent with the amounts of liabilities against which
such assets are pledged.

It is also suggested that the items shown in Sch-

edules M and N be scrutinized to determine whether the captions indicate
clearly .the character of transactions represented therety, and whether or not
the amount of any of such items should have been included in appropriate asset
and liability items on the face of the report (other than items lU and 29).
In orde* to avoid unnecessary correspondence the Board should be furnished
with copies of any letters sent to member banks in connection with condition
reports to which replies have not been received at the time the reports are
forwarded to the Board,

call you inform the Board, with respect to each State whose capital city
lies in your district, whether or not State authorities issued a call for
condition reports as of the same date as the call issued by the Board, and,
if not, the date of the nearest call thereto issued by the State authorities.
In case reports submitted in response to such calls were not required to be
published, information is requested as to the nearest date when publication

number of years to obtain directly

from each State banking department abstracts or summaries of condition reports rendered by State banking institutions.

many cases such abstracts or summaries are also obtained by Federal Reserve
agents, who obtain other data regularly from the State banking departments,
you are requested to obtain and furnish the Board, with respect to the current and future calls, for each State whose capital city lies in your district, a copy of the abstract or summary of the condition reports rendered
to the State banking department by each separate class of licensed banking
institution. Banks in charge of conservators or other similar State
officials and banks which are permitted to accept new deposits only in
trust should not be included.

In the case of any State located partly in

another Federal Reserve district, please also furnish a corresponding summary covering banks located in the
district.

pert of the State embraced in your

State banking departments should be advised that it will not be

necessary hereafter for them to send copies of their abstracts directly to
the Board.
In case the number of banks shown in the abstracts or summaries of
condition reports does not agree with the number shown in the December 30,
1933 lists of be-nks, furnished in response to the Board's letter B-$44 of
