EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND
GENERAL BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS
During 1922 every branch of industry and business in the Fifth
Federal Reserve District made marked progress. When the year
began, business men were nervous and uncertain as to future developments, and were very cautious in making commitments for the future.
Labor was markedly restless, and serious strikes threatened. The
textile industry was operating only part time, and did not find ready
sales for its output. Agricultural depression was especially notable,
as a result of the very short cotton crop of 1921, poor tobacco yields,
and the almost complete failure of the fruit crop. Bank loans were
excessive and business failures were on the increase. Retail and
wholesale trade naturally showed the effects of decreased purchasing
power in laboring and farming circles. As the year 1922 advanced,
labor conditions grew worse, and finally the coal miners' and railway
shopmen's strikes developed, seriously retarding emergence from the
1921 slump.
By the middle of the year, however, a turn for the better was
clearly discernible. The results of the strikes were not as serious as
many people had feared they would be, and the New England textile
strike resulted in the transfer of a considerable volume qf business
from Northern to Southern mills. Building activity developed
steadily, and by mid-summer had absorbed a large part of the excess
labor supply. Meanwhile advance reports on agricultural yields
for 1922 were encouraging, and the surplus stocks of cotton and
tobacco having been greatly reduced, prices for the farmers' products
began rising. When the harvesting season arrived, satisfactory
prices for good yields improved the financial condition of the agricultural sections, except in the boll weevil infested counties of South
Carolina, and retail and wholesale trade picked up distinctly. The
settlement of the coal and railway strikes helped restore a measure of
confidence. As a consequence of these improvements, together with
some increase in foreign demand for American goods, the last third
of the year 1922 witnessed a distinctly larger volume of business
activity in every line of trade and industry. The year cloted with
textile mills operating full time and sold out several months ahead,
with farmers receiving profitable prices for cotton and tobacco, with
the lumber industry and other building supply dealers very busy,
8
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
with bank loans decreased under last year and deposits much larger,
with business failures growing fewer, with new construction work
breaking previous records, and finally with no unemployment of
importance anywhere in the District.
VOLUME OF RESERVE BANK BUSINESS
There is a very wide-spread impression that because the total
volume of rediscounts for member banks made by Federal Reserve
Banks decreased during the past year, and the earnings were very
much less, and because the volume of Federal Reserve Notes outstanding was materially smaller, there was a corresponding decrease
in the total volume of business done, or work performed by Federal
Reserve Banks, and that this should be reflected in a large decrease in
expense of operation. A decrease in the volume of paper discounted
will naturally be followed by a decrease in earnings, because rediscounts are the principal source of earnings; but there are other
departments which render invaluable services to the banks and,
through them, to the public, from which no revenue is derived, but
which, on the contrary, involve very heavy expense in their operation.
Therefore, while a smaller volume of discounts will result in decreased
earnings, a decrease in expenses (except such as may result from
improved methods of operation and increased efficiency) can only be
effected by a decrease in the aggregate volume of business done, or
services rendered. The physical volume of business handled by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has increased and the scope of
services enlarged, and not withstanding there has been a material
reduction in expenses.
A study of the following report will disclose the fact that operations
in those departments which require the greatest number of employees,
and which handle the greatest physical volume of business, such as
the Transit Department, the Currency Department, the Coin Department, the Non-Cash Collection Department, and others, increased
greatly in volume during 1922 over any previous year. It will be
found also that in the Discount Department the volume of transactions
handled, and work relating to credits, did not decrease in anything
like the same proportion as the volume in dollars. As an illustration:
While the average amount of paper under discount (including open
market purchases) was $59,930,792 in 1922, as compared with
$116,779,673 in 1921, the number of notes discounted in 1922 was
only 39^)0 less than in 1921, and the number of banks accommodated
was practically the same. The number of checks handled by the
Transit Department in 1922 was, however, 3,623,000 greater than in
1921.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

In the Fiscal Agency Department it will be noticed that the
number of items or pieces handled in 1922 was very much smaller
than in 1921. On the other hand, the nature of the work handled by
that department has become increasingly complicated and difficult,
and greater space and facilities are required and are being provided.
FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The gross earnings of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond for
1922 were $2,832,943, as compared with $6,729,679 for 1921, a decrease
of $3,896,736. The earnings were the smallest of any year since 1917.
The average rate of earning on all earning assets for the year 1922
was .0457, as compared with .0561 for 1921. The very large decrease
in gross earnings is explained by the large reduction in average daily
total of earning assets from $116,779,673 in 1921, to $59,930,792
in 1922, and by the substantial reduction in the discount rate on all
classes of paper. The decrease in earning assets was mainly in discounted and purchased paper; the Bank has never purchased
Government securities for the sake of income.
The current expenses for 1922 were $1,631,355, as compared with
$2,127,174, for 1921, a decrease of $495,819, notwithstanding the fact
that a very much larger volume of work was handled in 1922 than
was handled during any previous year. This was due in part to the
greatly increased facilities of our new building, and in part to a
natural increase in efficiency derived from experience and longer
service.
The current net earnings for 1922 were $1,201,588, as compared
with $4,602,505 for 1921. After paying dividends to member banks
and deducting depreciation and reserves for specific purposes, there
remained $534,126 available for surplus and franchise tax, which
was distributed as follows:
Transferred to surplus account
$ 53,412
Paid to United States Government as franchise tax
480,714
Schedules 1 to 16, inclusive, show in detail the financial operations
for 1922, with many comparisons.
DISCOUNT OPERATIONS
(References: Schedules 6 to 15, Inclusive)
The total amount of paper discounted and purchased in 1922 was
$1,433,027,154, as compared with $2,775,016,400 discounted and
purchased in 1921, a decrease of $1,341,989,246. The number of
pieces handled was &5,472, a daily average of 283 pieces, amounting
to $4,745,123. The smallest note offered for rediscount was $11, while
10
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
the 85,472 notes discounted averaged $16,766 each. Included in the
volume of paper discounted and purchased are bankers' acceptances
amounting to $8,460,482, based upon foreign and domestic transactions.
The daily average amount of outstanding accommodations to
member banks during 1922 and 1921, through the discount and
purchase of paper (exclusive of bankers' acceptances bought in the
open market), in each State, is shown by the following table:

It will be noted that only in the case of West Virginia did the
average outstanding accommodations during 1922 exceed those of
1921.
On December 31, 1922, 275 of the 634 member banks were
discounting with this Bank to the amount of $53,831,225. During
the year 491 members were accommodated. The average outstanding
accommodations during 1922 to all members, secured by Government
obligations, was $20,572,872, while the average amount of all other
paper, secured and unsecured (exclusive of bankers' acceptances
bought in the open market) was $34,502,442.
To meet the credit demands from its member banks during 1921,
the Federal.Reserve Bank of Richmond was compelled to rediscount
with other Federal Reserve Banks continuously from April to December, but it was not necessary at any time during 1922 to rediscount
any of its paper.
The discount rate of 5% for all classes of paper, which was in
effect January 1, 1922, was not changed until April 14, 1922, when a
rate of 43^% for all classes of paper became effective and remained
unchanged throughout the remainder of the year.
The discount operations as set forth in Schedules 6 to 15, will be
found very interesting.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES
(References: Schedules 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13)
Prior to November 8, 1922, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
pursued the practice of purchasing acceptances direct from the
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND
11
accepting banks in this District, without other endorsement, upon
the theory that the accepting banks, in offering the acceptances, were
acting as the agents of the drawers. Member banks are not permitted
to accept and hold their own acceptances in their portfolios, even for
a short time, except subject to the limitations of Section 5200 of the
Revised Statutes.
The policy of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in purchasing
acceptances direct from member banks was governed by three
considerations: First, the desire of this Bank to develop the acceptance business (an entirely new business in this District) along
thoroughly sound lines, in accordance with the regulations of the
Board and to keep in intimate touch with the conditions under which
the acceptances were made; second, there were no "dealers" in this
District, and few dealers in any district at the beginning, to whom,
or through whom, acceptances could be readily sold by the drawers
in the open market; third, for several years the banks of this District,
generally, had had very little idle or excess funds seeking investment
of this character.
The bankers' acceptance, however, in practically all districts, has
become a well established instrument; the number of dealers has
multiplied, and prime acceptances have a wide market, and
acceptances of a number of member banks in the Fifth District now
find ready negotiation in the open market. Under these changed
conditions, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond did not feel
justified in continuing a policy at variance with that of other Federal
Reserve Banks and which" was generally recognized as being opposed
to sound practice having in view the development of a real open
market for acceptances, and on November 8, 1922, notified all member
banks (Circular No. 126) that after that date this Bank would not
accept for rediscount or buy on the open market any acceptances not
bearing the endorsement of a bank other than the accepting bank.
The total amount of bankers' acceptances purchased by this Bank
during the year 1922 was $8,460,482, as compared with $25,345,484
in 1921. A classification of bills purchased direct from accepting
banks as between those arising in foreign and domestic transactions
in the years 1921 and 1922, would show:

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
but with the inclusion of $1,007,000 acceptances arising in domestic
transactions, and $474,384 arising in foreign transactions purchased
in the open market during the year 1922, the total of bills purchased
classified for the respective years is as follows:
Foreign

$ 10,221,134

$ 8,460,482
$ 25,345,484
Of the bills purchased held by the Bank at close of business
December 31, 1922, $546,650 were purchased direct from accepting
banks, and $1,187,639 in the open market, making a total of $1,734,289,
as compared with $3,558,330 held at close of business December 31,
1921, all of which were purchased direct from accepting banks. The
classification as between foreign and domestic is as follows:
Dec. 31, 1922 Dec. 31, 1921

453,839 $ 1,244,380
1,280,450
2,313,950
Foreign
Domestic
Total
$ 1,734,289 $ 3,558,330
The average rate of earnings on acceptances held-in 1922 was .0482
(calculated on a 365 day basis, although actually purchased at a rate
on 360 day basis) as compared with .0603 for the year 1921.
TRADE ACCEPTANCES
(References: Schedules 9, 13 and 14)
During the year 1922 the Bank discounted for its members trade
acceptances amounting to $5,538,900, as compared with $11,817,498
in 1921, and held only $814,963 of this class of paper under rediscount
at close of business December 31, 1922, as compared with $2,347,996
held at close of business December 31, 1921. The decrease noted is,
in general, proportionate to the decrease in all classes of paper held,
but the volume of trade acceptances handled has been further affected
by the fact that member banks in commercial centers, where the trade
acceptance is in general use, have had less occasion to rediscount
paper during the year than banks in agricultural sections, although
the trade acceptance, implying stricter credit policies, has never
been used to any large extent in the agricultural sections, where
conditions for the past two years have not been favorable for the
development of its use.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

The following table indicates the amount of trade acceptances
handled for member banks in the several States of the Fifth District
during 1921 and 1922:

While it appears that the more obvious and flagrant abuses of
the trade acceptance practice are becoming more and more infrequent,
they continue to exist to a degree which tends to prevent the
recognition which the class of paper deserves as preferred credit
instruments. Cases of financing between subsidiary and affiliated
corporations by means of trade acceptances and other more or less
technical abuses are carefully investigated, and the Bank is continuing
its efforts to encourage proper trade acceptance practice, and* to
develop the widest use of trade acceptances which may now be
purchased in the open market by Federal Reserve Banks.
CLEARING OPERATIONS
(References: Schedules 25 and 26)
During 1922 the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (including
Baltimore Branch transactions) handled in its Transit Department
42,884,054 items, aggregating $8,762,818,547, compared with 39,260,432 items, aggregating $8,620,888,130, handled in the year 1921.
The daily average number handled in 1922 was 142,000, amounting
to $29,015,955, as compared with the daily average of 129,572 items,
totalling $28,451,776 handled in 1921. It is interesting to note that
while the aggregate amount of checks handled in 1921 was
$2,885,057,094 less than was handled in 1920, the number of items
handled was an increase of 5,528,631 over the number handled in 1920;
and that while the number handled in 1922 showed a continued
heavy increase, exceeding 1921 by 3,623,622, the value of the checks
handled was but $141,930,417 greater. The average amount per item
has shown a steady decrease from $591 in 1918 to $204 in 1922, while
the number of items handled increased from 12,020,068 in 1918, to
42,884,054 in 1922.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
In addition to the above clearings, which were handled by the
Transit Department of the Bank, member banks routed direct to
other Federal Reserve Districts during the year 157,825 cash letters
containing items amounting to $1,379,291,316, as compared with
149,859 letters amounting to $1,377,295,260 routed direct in 1921.
The fact that member banks routed direct approximately 8,000
more letters in 1922 than they did in 1921, shows that this special
facility is appreciated.
The collection of 42,884,054 items amounting to $8,762,818,547,
actually handled by the Bank, and items amounting to $1,379,291,316,
contained in more than 157,000 direct routed cash letters, was made
without cost to member banks.
NON-CASH COLLECTIONS
(Reference: Schedule 27)
Comparatively few non-cash collections (notes, drafts, etc.) were
handled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond prior to 1919, but
the number and amount of such collections have increased rapidly
since 1919, as will be seen from the following brief table:
1920. .

99,622
147,586,754
195,802
213,232,479
The largest increase in number and amount occurred in 1922, when
there were handled 96,180 more items than were handled the previous
year, and the value exceeded by $65,645,725 the value of the items
handled in 1921.
The Federal Reserve Bank makes no charge for its services in
connection with the collection of non-cash items, but when a remitting
bank makes a service or exchange charge, the charge is passed on by
the Federal Reserve Bank to the depositing member bank. A charge
of fifteen cents for each item returned unpaid and unprotested, is
made by the Federal Reserve Bank receiving the item for collection.
The charge is imposed for the purpose of discouraging the sending of
"dunning" drafts and not for the purpose of revenue.
Schedule 27 shows in detail the monthly activities of the non-cash
collection department during 1922, with comparative tables.

GOLD SETTLEMENT FUND
(References: Schedules 28 and 29, 32, 33 and 34)
Receipts and disbursements through the Gold Settlement Fund
in 1922 amounted to $10,701,082,000, which was $1,639,431,000 less
than the receipts and disbursements in 1921.
All checks on member and non-member banks in the district
received from other Federal Reserve Banks, and from member banks
in other Federal Reserve Districts, are accounted for through the
Gold Settlement Fund, and payment from other Federal Reserve
Banks for checks sent them by this Bank and by member banks in
this District, is received through the Gold Settlement Fund. A very
large portion of the operations of the Gold Settlement Fund represents
settlements for checks collected, and while the amount of money
involved was less in 1922 than in the preceding year, the payments
covered a very much larger number of items than were handled in
the previous year.
In addition to making settlement for cash collections, just referred
to, this Bank made 31,318 telegraphic transfers to or from other
Federal Reserve Districts, involving $1,626,046,069, an increase of
6,188 in number as compared with 1921, and exceeded the amount
so transferred in 1921 by $476,328,370.
*.
The enormous volume of settlements through the Gold Settlement
Fund was made practicable only through the use of our own leased
wires, over which we sent and received 95,212 telegrams during 1922,
an increase of 3,598 as compared with the number handled in 1921.
NOTE ISSUES
(References: Schedules 16 and 19 to 24)
It will be found interesting to compare the daily average by
months of Federal Reserve Notes in circulation during 1922 with
the average daily circulation during the years 1921, 1920 and 1919.
The daily average circulation in January, 1919, was $136,268,000,
but the volume of outstanding notes steadily decreased each month
thereafter until the low average of $105,050,000 for the year was
reached in August. During the last four months of the- year, however,
the volume of notes in circulation rapidly increased, following a
normal seasonal trend, reaching the high average of $145,258,000 for
December, 1919. Immediately after the opening of 1920, the usual
seasonal decline in circulation began, the average for January, being
$136,663,000, the low month of the year coming in June, with a daily
16
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
average of $121,383,147. The fall expansion carried the December
average to $150,168,000, the highest month of the year.
The year 1921 was exceptional, the low average of $107,509,000
not being reached until September, fully a month or six weeks later
than normal. Further, the expansion between the low month and
the end of the year was unusually small, December's average daily
circulation being only $109,230,000. January, 1922, showed an
average of $100,973,000, with decreases each month thereafter until
the low point of the year was reached in August, which averaged
$79,607,000. The rise toward the end of the year carried the December
average to $101,149,000, the highest month of the year. The daily
average for the year 1922 was $90,924,000, as compared with
$125,312,000 for 1921.
CURRENCY AND COIN SERVICE
(References: Schedules 30, 31-A and 31-B)
On January 16, 1922, this Bank assumed in full the facilities and
services formerly offered by sub-treasuries, with respect to exchanges,
replacements and redemption of United States paper currency, and
with respect to the exchange and redemption of United States coin.
The sub-treasury at Baltimore was discontinued in January, 1921,
and the Baltimore Branch has since that time been performing the
function previously performed by the sub-treasury.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has rendered a material
service to the banks in this District by the prompt handling of a
large volume of currency and coin. Currency and coin amounting to
$283,611,960 was received from member and non-member banks
during the year, and there was paid or shipped to banks during the
same period $281,644,057, making a total of $565,256,017 received
from and paid to banks, which exceeded the amount thus handled
during 1921 by $55,672,084.
There were received from all sources, and counted, 98,415,454
pieces of currency, amounting to $425,519,096, and there were paid
out and returned for redemption 98,103,476 pieces of currency,
amounting to $425,217,228, an increase of 22,761,188 in the number
of pieces handled, as compared with the number of pieces handled in
1921.
The cost of currency and coin service rendered to member banks
is absorbed by the Federal Reserve Bank, and the service rendered
to non-member banks is on exactly the same basis as that formerly
rendered by the sub-treasuries.

BOND COUPONS CUT FOR BANKS
(Reference: Schedule 25)
This Bank receives from member banks securities as collateral
for Government deposits, for discounts, for marginal collateral, for
War Savings consignments, and also for safe-keeping; and from
non-member banks it receives securities as collateral for Government
deposits and War Savings consignments. A very large portion of
these securities consists of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, the
interest on which is represented by coupons.
The Federal Reserve Bank clips all coupons as they mature, from
all bonds held as collateral and for safe-keeping, unless specifically
requested not to do so. During the year 160,541 coupons, with a
value of $2,284,843, were clipped and accounted for to the banks for
whose accounts the securities were held.
RESERVE POSITION
(Reference: Schedule 17)
The daily average of total deposits, by months, in 1922, fluctuated
between very narrow limits, the average of $56,482,011 in March
being the lowest, while the highest daily average for any month was
$61,703,375, which was reached in November, with an average of
$59,178,451 for the year as compared with $57,037,772 for 1921.
The daily average combined deposit and Federal Reserve Note
liability, by months, reached the lowest average of $139,243,347 in
August, and the highest average of $161,406,376 in December, with
an average for the year of $150,102,484.
The daily average of outstanding accommodations to member
banks, as shown in Schedule 7-G, decreased steadily from an average
during January of $90,006,614 to an average of $35,900,739 in August.
The average then increased month by month during the remainder
of the year.
The reserve held showed a steady increase from month to month
until November, with the exception of July, when a very small decrease
was shown.
The percentage of reserve against combined liability averaged
45.27% in January, and increased steadily until a daily average of
78.06% was reached in August. The average then decreased until
an average of 68.56% was established for December.
The daily average for the year was 66.57%, as against 43.24% for
1921.
Schedules 15, 16 and 17 will prove very interesting in connection
with a study of the reserve position.

The combined capital and surplus of the eight new State bank
members on December 31, 1922, was $3,130,000, with resources
aggregating $25,532,000.
During the year, two State bank members, with combined capital
and surplus of $240,000, withdrew from membership; two were
converted into National banks; and two consolidated, later converting
into a National bank.
Five State bank members opened seven branches, making a total
of twenty-two branches operated by State member banks in this
District.
BANK RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
Prior to the year 1922, representatives of this Bank did considerable
work among the member and non-member banks in the District,
but the work was largely confined to visits to non-member banks in
connection with our par point campaign. The gratifying results
obtained led to the formal organization, on February 15, 1922, of
the Bank Relations Department, composed of men trained along
special lines, with particular reference to the relations which banks
generally sustain to the Federal Reserve Bank in its daily operations,
and in the exercise of its various functions under the Act.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND
19
During the year 1922 the representatives from the Bank Relations
Department, at the Head Office, made 421 visits to banks, 304 visits
to member banks and 117 visits to non-member banks; while the
representatives from this Department of the Baltimore Branch
made 423 visits to banks, of which 202 were to 178 member banks,
and 221 to 190 non-member banks. A total of 844 visits were made
by the Bank Relations Department of the Head Office 'and the
Baltimore Branch. Our representatives have endeavored in each
case to bring about a better understanding of the Federal Reserve
System by explaining the underlying principles of the Federal Reserve
Act and the detailed operations of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond, and have also endeavored to establish and maintain close
and friendly relations with the banks of the District. A number of
our member banks have been visited one or more times throughout
the year, in order that the executive officers of the Federal Reserve
Bank might keep in close touch with their condition.
The annual bankers' association conventions of every State in
the District have been attended by one or more representatives of
this Bank. Seven addresses have been made by officers of the Bank
at such gatherings as bankers' conventions, group meetings, Kiwanis
Clubs, etc., throughout the District, and forty-nine talks on banking
were made in public schools and business colleges in Richmond by
officers and employees of this Bank, in connection with the educational
program of the A. I. B.
The work outlined above has certainly resulted in a better understanding of the policy and operation of the Federal Reserve Bank on
the part of the banks visited, and we hope it has aided in the establishment of those cordial and friendly relations which it is our constant
aim to foster.
BANK EXAMINATION DEPARTMENT
This department has functioned in a very satisfactory way during
the year. The examiners have been at all times in close touch with
the officers of the Bank and the Credit Department. Their examinations have not been merely perfunctory, but have been very thorough.
Full and complete credit data is obtained on every credit line of
importance in the bank under examination.
The most cordial relations with the various State bank examiners
is enjoyed, and joint examinations of State member banks have been
made in every State in the District.

CAMPAIGN FOR PAR POINTS
In reporting the progress of our campaign for par points in the
year 1922, it will be necessary to refer briefly to our last year's report.
On February 5, 1921, the Legislature of North Carolina passed
an act entitled "An Act to Promote the Solvency of State Banks,"
according to the provisions of which banks in North Carolina were
not required to pay checks presented to them by the Federal Reserve
Bank, or any of its agencies, in money, but could tender their drafts
upon correspondent banks in payment. The act also provided that
State banks in North Carolina could deduct exchange when remitting
for checks sent them by mail, and also forbid notaries public to protest
checks, payment for which had been refused by the banks on which
they were drawn solely because a demand had been made for payment
in money. The Report for 1921 mentioned the suit which was brought
as a result of the action of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
in presenting checks and demanding payment in money in the cases
of State banks in North Carolina which refused to remit at par for
checks sent them through the mails. Mention was also made of the
Court order restraining the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond from
returning as dishonored checks presented to the plaintiff banks,
for which they had refused to make payment in money. On December
31, 1921, out of 2,195 banks in the District, 1,615 were par and 580
non-par, the non-par banks being 254 in North Carolina, and 326
in South Carolina.
The action which had been brought by certain banks and trust
companies, organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina
and not members of the Federal Reserve System, against the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, to obtain an injunction to prevent the
Reserve Bank from refusing to accept exchange drafts drawn by the
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND
21
plaintiffs on their reserve deposits and from returning as dishonored,
checks for which plaintiffs had tendered exchange drafts, as outlined
above, was tried in 1922 at the February term of the Superior Court
of Union County, North Carolina. The decision of the Court in
this case was to the effect that the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
had not undertaken to accumulate checks in order to embarrass
plaintiff banks, nor had it undertaken to coerce non-par banks, but
the Court held that the Act of the Legislature referred to above, was
constitutional. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond appealed
from this decision to the Supreme Court of North Carolina, which
court delivered an opinion reversing the action of the lower court,
declaring the Act of the North Carolina Legislature unconstitutional
and recognizing the right of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
to present checks at the counters of State banks for payment in
money. After this decision, the State banks filed a petition for a
rehearing, which was granted in October, 1922, and, after considering
supplementary briefs, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition
without modifying its former opinion. One of the members of the
court dissented from this action, but filed no dissenting opinion.
Counsel for the State banks in North Carolina announced their
intention of applying to the Supreme Court of the United States for
a writ of certiorari, which action has since been taken.
On December 31, 1922, 1,594 banks out of a total of 2,162 banks
in the District were par. There were 255 banks in North Carolina
and 313 banks in South Carolina not on the par list. The non-par
banks in North Carolina consist of 226 banks which are parties to
the injunction suit against the Federal Reserve Bank, and twenty-nine
banks which are on a supplementary list by reason of the fact that
while not joined with the "injunction banks," have refused to remit
at par and refused to pay their checks in money when presented at
their counters by representatives of the Reserve Bank.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
President National Electric Supply Co., Washington, D. C , Class B

from January 1, 1923.
The Federal Reserve Board appointed Robert Lassiter, Manufacturer of Charlotte, N. C , a Class C Director to succeed Jas. A.
Moncure, whose term expired December 31, 1922, and redesignated
Caldwell Hardy Chairman of the Board and Federal Reserve Agent
for 1923. Frederic A. Delano, Washington, D. C , a Class C Director,
was designated Deputy Chairman.
During the year 1922 the following changes occurred in the
official staff: A. H. Dudley, formerly Assistant Federal Reserve
Agent at Richmond, was appointed Manager of the Baltimore Branch,
effective March 1st, succeeding M. M. Prentis, resigned. R. H. Lee
of the Federal Reserve Agent's Department was appointed an
Assistant Federal Reserve Agent, effective March 1st.
E. G. Grady, formerly Auditor, was made Controller of Accounts,
effective April 16th, and Assistant Manager of the Baltimore Branch,
effective January 1, 1923; and Hugh Leach, formerly Assistant
Auditor, was made Auditor as of April 16th. J. T. Garrett was made
an officer of the Bank, with title of "Manager of the Bank Relations
Department," effective March 1st.
Schedule 40 gives a classified summary of the number of officers
and employees with their aggregate salaries on December 31, 1922,
as compared with corresponding dates in the four previous years.
In examining this schedule, in the light of the notes appended thereto,
and comparing the personnel as of December 31, 1921 and December
31, 1922, it will be noted that there has been a decrease of thirty-nine
in the number of persons actually employed and paid by the Bank.
This reduction represents a decrease of fifty-one in the Richmond
office, partially offset by a gain of twelve at the Baltimore Branch.
A complete list of officers and directors for the year 1923, appears
on page 6.
The following table summarizes the changes in personnel from a
different angle and in greater detail than that shown by Schedule 40:

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

The actual number and amount of the Branch transactions are
included in the aggregate volume reported by the Head Office.
The number of officers and employees was increased from 172 on
January 1, 1922, to 184 at the close of the year, 101 of whom are
women and eighty-three men. The increase in the clerical force
was necessitated by the materially increased volume of checks
collected and non-cash collection items handled for member banks.
By reason of the change in the volume of work in several departments of the Branch, certain departments have been reorganized
during the year. Mr. Richard Bradley, formerly junior Assistant
Federal Reserve Agent, in charge of the Credit Department, was
designated Manager of the Discount and Credit Department, and Mr.
C. Scott Donohue was appointed Acting Assistant Federal Reserve
Agent to provide relief for the Assistant Federal Reserve Agent in
the event of the latter's absence from the bank.
Effective March 1, 1922, Mr. Morton M. Prentis, Manager and
Director of the Baltimore Branch from the date of its establishment,
resigned, and Mr. Albert H. Dudley, formerly Assistant Federal
Reserve Agent at Richmond, was appointed Manager and Director
as his successor. A vacancy on the Board occurred on March 9, 1922,
in the death of Mr. Charles C. Homer, Jr., a director of the Baltimore
Branch from the date of its establishment. On June 22, 1922, the
Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
appointed Mr. Carter G. Osburn, President of the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank, of Baltimore, a director of the Baltimore
Branch to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Homer to December 31, 1922.
As of December 31, 1922, the following is the staff of directors
and officers, all of whom have been re-elected to serve the following
year:
DIRECTORS (1923)
ALBERT H. DUDLEY, Manager, Baltimore Branch.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
A representative from the Bank Relations Department of the
Baltimore Branch visited every member bank in the Branch territory
during 1922, except five. Of a total of 423 visits made to banks, 202
were to 178 member banks, and 221 were to 190 non-member banks.
This policy has resulted in establishing a close relationship between
the member banks and the Branch, both the Baltimore City and
country banks evidencing a spirit of hearty co-operation.
The Baltimore Branch continues to render a valuable service
to Baltimore banks by effecting daily settlements of Clearing House
balances by debits or credits to the reserve accounts of member banks.
This method of settling Clearing House balances by book entries
has removed the risk formerly involved in transporting daily large
sums of money from one bank to another. During 1922 settlement of
these Clearing House balances aggregating $1,752,809,412.09 was
made by the Baltimore Branch. Another distinct service rendered
to Baltimore banks by the Branch is the personal presentation of
checks drawn on Baltimore banks not members or associate members
of the Clearing House. A number of such banks are located in
outlying districts of the city, and in accepting deposits of such
checks from Baltimore and out-of-town member banks, a service is
rendered by the Branch which eliminates considerable risk for member
banks. During 1922 such transactions involving 290,783 checks,
aggregating $27,389,200, were conducted by the Branch.

MONTHLY REPORT OF GENERAL BUSINESS AND
AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS
The monthly publication of our Report of General Business and
Agricultural Conditions was continued during 1922. As in previous
years, this Report was carefully compiled from direct sources, information having been received regularly from representative financial,
industrial, commercial and agricultural authorities. The Report
presents a bird's-eye view of business activity as a whole in the Fifth
District, and gives accurate statistics relating to several of the chief
indicators of progress. Figures that show the number and value
of building permits issued in twenty-four of the District's leading
cities are given each month, and a table showing debits to individual
accounts in Clearing House banks in twenty-three cities is also
published. A section on retail trade shows in percentage form all
increases or decreases in net sales and stocks carried by twenty-five
leading department stores, the current month being compared with
the corresponding month of the preceding year, and other figures
indicate the velocity of stock turn-over and the amounts of outstanding
orders for merchandise in the same stores. Similar figures are given
in another section on wholesale trade in six leading lines. Agricultural
notes appear each month, special attention being given to cotton and
tobacco. Finally as a supplement to the report on the Fifth District,
a summary of national conditions is included. The circulation of
the report numbers 8,000 copies at the end of 1922, copies going to
all sections of the United States and a few foreign countries. The
report is sent free to any person upon request.

FISCAL AGENCY OPERATIONS
(References: Schedule 36 to 38, Inclusive.)
As Fiscal Agent of the United States Government, the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond continued during 1922, to receive and
disburse funds for the acco'unt of and under instructions from the
United States Treasury Department. The Bank handled the sale,
delivery and redemption of Victory Notes, United States Certificates
of Indebtedness, Treasury Notes and Government Savings Securities
in this District, and also the exchange, conversion and registration of
Liberty Loan Bonds and Victory Notes for banks and the public.
During the year we handled for exchange and redemption 362,137
Liberty Loan Bonds and Victory Notes having a face value of
$122,655,500. Certificates of Indebtedness and Treasury Notes
numbering 62,466, aggregating $164,763,500, were sold, redeemed
and exchanged, and War Savings Securities numbering 1,534,868,
with a maturity value of $8,876,201 were sold, redeemed and handled
preparatory to redemption.
Coupons from United States securities paid and charged to the
account of the Treasurer of the United States during the year
numbered 2,561,393, aggregating $17,283,218.
Reference is made to Schedules 36, 37 and 38, for further details
in connection with the Fiscal Agency operations for the year 1922,
and comparisons with the previous year.
GOVERNMENT SAVINGS ORGANIZATION
This organization, consisting of a director and two stenographers,
acts, under the general supervision of the Governor of the Bank,
as a publicity agency in furthering the sale of Treasury savings
securities. This organization is strictly speaking, not a part of the
Bank's force, but rather a special group employed for extra work as
directed by the United States Treasurj^ Department, which reimburses
the Bank in full for their salaries.
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
This Bank has continued throughout the year to act as Fiscal
agent for the War Finance Corporation, and as such has made the
advances authorized by the Corporation in this District. In the
capacity of Fiscal Agent, this Bank is not called upon to pass upon
applications for loans or the sufficiency of collateral. These matters
are handled under the direction of the Corporation by representatives
specially appointed in different localities and by the directors of the
30
EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
Corporation in Washington. Upon receipt of proper authority we
accept from the banks, corporations, or persons to whom a loan has
been granted, the obligations and collateral which have been accepted
by the directors of the War Finance Corporation, and upon specific
authority we pay over the amount of the loan.
We accept and take charge of all collateral offered, forwarding it
for collection at the proper time under the direction of the Corporation,
and accept payments and part payments in accordance with regulations made by the Corporation. Advances numbering 101, amounting
to $7,764,900, were made through us during the latter part of 1921.
Advances numbering 603, amounting to $18,385,052.35, were made
during the year 1922.
The outstanding accommodations reached the high point of
$18,620,671 on April 17, 1922, since which time the number of
advances has steadily decreased and many loans have been paid
at maturity. The total loans outstanding on December 31, 1922
was $9,444,669.
There are ten clerks who give their entire time to this work, under
the supervision of the officers. The salaries of employees are paid
by the War Finance Corporation.
