J New York Head Office Time Schedule To Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District (except Banks in the Territory assigned to the Buffalo Branch): This circular contains our New York Head Office Time Schedule. It applies only to member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to our head office at New York City, which territory includes all of the Second Federal Reserve District except the territory assigned to our Buffalo branch. Our Buffalo Branch Time Schedule applies to member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to such branch (i. e., the counties of Alleghany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming, in the State of New York). As heretofore, cash items sent to us by member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to our head office at New York City should be sent to such head office, except that such banks may at their option send cash items payable in the territory assigned to our Buffalo branch either to our head office at New York City or to our Buffalo branch. Subject to the terms and conditions of this time schedule, and of Regulation J of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and of our circular relating to collection of cash items, we will give credit in member bank reserve accounts and nonmember clearing bank clearing accounts at the times indicated herein for cash items received and accepted by us and for cash items payable in other Federal Reserve Districts which are sent by our member and nonmember clearing banks with our permission direct to Federal Reserve Banks of such other districts for our account. This time schedule does not necessarily show the actual time required for collection of cash items, and advices received from us showing the availability of items cannot be considered as advices of actual payment on the dates of availability. Credit will in all instances be subject to receipt of payment by us in actually and finally collected funds, and we may in our discretion refuse at any time to permit the withdrawal or other use of credit given for any item for which we have not yet received payment in actually and finally collected funds. We reserve the right at any time, with or without notice, to revoke, modify, amend, or add to, this time schedule or any provision thereof, effective as to all or any particular member banks and nonmember clearing banks.

PREPARATION OF CASH LETTERS SORTING Member banks and nonmember clearing banks are requested to sort cash items which they send to the head office of Federal Reserve Bank of New York at New York City into the following classes with a separate letter or total for each class.
