STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
May IS, 1917*

Withdrawals on a large scale of Government deposits and a decline in gold
and total reserves are indicated by the Federal Reserve Board's weekly bank
statement issued today as at close of business May 18, 1917 * The funds with­
drawn represent chiefly payments on account of U. S. certificates of indebted­
ness received by the several Federal reserve banks.
These funds were trans­
ferred through the Gold Settlement Fund to the New York bank, which reporis-’ a
decrease of 31*2 millions in cash reserve and of 26.4 millions in its balance
due from other F. R. banks.
The gold settlement fund shows a depletion by
33*8 millions, owing mainly to the Government's financial operations during
the past week.
Commercial paper on hand Shows an increase of 5*3 millions largely as
the i*esult of discount operations of some of the larger member banks in Boston,
Philadelphia^ Richmond and Baltimore* Of the total discounts held, $14,883,000,
as against $ 11 ^235,000 shown the week before, are member banks' collateral
notes. About 75 P ® r cent of these notes are held by the Philadelphia, Rich­
mond and New York banks.
Larger offerings Of bank paper ih the New York and
Boston markets account for a net addition of about 3 millions io the Banks'
holdings of acceptances, Minneapolis and Kansas City report the purchase of
$164,000 of United States bonds, while sales of $112,000 of Treasury notes
and of $3^4-23,000 of U. S. certificates are shown by 6 other reserve banks.
Total earning assets increased to 274 millions and constitute at present
482 per cent of the banks' paid-in capital, compared with 473 P©r cent the
week before.
Of the total, 36 *A Per cent is represented by acceptances; 19*9
per cent by U. S. certificates of indebtedness; 16.4 per cent by discounts;
I 3.3 P©r cent by U. S, bonds; 8.5 per cent by Treasury notes; and 5*3 Per cent
by warrants*
Government deposits, including 84.5 millions redeposited with subscribing
banks and trust companies, are given as 187*1 millions, a decrease for the
week of 55*3 millions, all the banks except New York and San Francisco report­
ing substantial net withdrawals of Government funds. Member banks' reserve
deposits show an increase of 7*8 millions, notwithstanding a decrease under
this head of over 8 millions reported by the New York bank.
Federal Reserve Agents show a total of $478,906,000 of notes outstanding^
which is but 4*5 millions less than the amount of silver certificates re­
ported by the Treasury Department outstanding on the same date. Additional
notes were issued during the week to 8 banks, while retirements are reported
by all the Banks#
The result is a net increase of about 8 <5 millions in the
total cf Federal reserve notes outstanding, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Chicago and San Francisco accounting for practically the entire increase.
The banks show an actual F. R. note circulation of $448,311,000, cr about 10
millions in excess of the circulation shown the week before.
Their aggregate
liabilities upon notes outstanding are given as $24,648,000.

STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
May 2 6, 1917.
Loan operations of the Government calling for the concentration of funds at
the New York Federal reserve bark, also the opening of further credits to allied
Governments by the U.S/treasury affect; , to a large- extent, the condition state­
ment of the Federal reserve banks issued to-day by the Federal Reserve Board as at
close of business on May 25, 1917,
On the asset side the largest increase for the
week is shown for 1{UncolIected Items”, largely clearing house exchanges, which Ireprf^0n^
• c^ec^s an^ drafts on N.Y. city banks in payment of subscriptions to
3 2j> certificates of indebtedness issued during the week.
The substantial increase
in the amounts ,!Due from depository banks - fiscal agent account11 represents ,
amounts paid in by banks on account of subscriptions to U.S, certificates of in­
debtedness and redeposited with the subscribing b&tlkd*
On th& liability side the largest increase is shown for member banks1 reserve
deposits; chiefly at the! N 4Y 4 bank, due to temporary redeposits of funds previous­
ly paid out by the federal reserve bank in connection with foreign Government
credit operations. As the result of these operations the Reserve Banks1 gold r$*serves declined about 20*2 millions and their total reserves about 10.8 million^*
In transferring funds to the N* Y* bank the Government availed itself largely of
the services of the Gold Settlement Fund, as is indicated by the large increase
^ in the amount standing to the credit of the N. Y. bank and by the reductions in
the credit balances of nearly all other Federal reserve banks*
An increase for the week of nearly 10 million dollars is shown in the hold­
ings of bills discounted and bought.
Discounts on hand -increased about 2*7 mil­
lions notwithstanding large decreases under this head reported by the 3 eastern
banks. Agricultural and livestock paper maturing after 90 days ( 6—month.
paper)
aggregating about 2*8 millions is reported by the southern and western banks,
nearly one-half of the total being held by the Minneapolis and D a l l a s banks Total discounts are inclusive of 16,3 millions of member banks* collateral
notes as against 14*9 millions the week before*, The larger total comprises 1*9
millions of collateral notes secured $ry U* S* certificates of indebtedness, the
Board having authorized
discounts of such notes at specially favorable rates*
Acceptances on hand show an increase of 7*2 millions, mainly at the N% Y* and
Cleveland banks* U. S* certificates of indebtedness held by the banks aggregate
3*1 millions in excess of the amount reported the week before# No material
changes are shown in the amounts of other inrestments held* Total earning assets,
287.3 millions, show a gain of 13*2 millions, and constitute 504 per cent of the
banks p<aid-in capital, compared with 482 per cent the week before* Of the total
earning assets, acceptances constitute 37;4 per cent, U.S, certificates of indeb­
tedness 20*1 per cent, discounts 16,6 per cent, U* S. bonds 12,7 per cent, Treas­
ury notes 8.1 per cent, and warrants 5*1 per cent*
Accessions during the week to the Federal reserve system and increases in cap­
ital and surplus of member banks, account for an increase of $123,000 in the paidin capital of the Federal reserve banks. Government deposits show an increase of
IX*3 millions, all the banks except N* Y* and Cleveland reporting heavy withdrawals
of Government funds. A gain of 64,8 millions is shown for member banks * reserve
deposits, the gain of 72*6 millions at the N# Y, bank being offset in part by de­
creases in deposits at eight other reserve banks.
Federal reserve agents report a total of $488,088,000 of notes outstanding,
an increase during the week of 9*2 millions, nearly two-thirds of this increase
falling to the share of the N, Y. and Cleveland banks. Against the total issued
the agents hold $456,611,000 of gold and $32,685,000 of paper* The banks report
a total Federal reserve note circulation of $454,402,000 and aggregate net liabil­
ities thereon of $26,201,000.
