STATEMENT FOP. THE PRESS.
March

31, 1517..

Additional Federal reserve nota issues and substantial gains in
re serve dep os it s dur ing t he pas t we ak are ch ie f ly r espons i Tole for
the increase of about 26 millions in the combined gold resources of the
system, indicated in the weekly tank statement made public today by the
Federal Reserve Board, as at close of business on March 30 , 1917- The
total gold held by both the Banks and the Agents stands now at over
933 millions, having increased 200 millions oince the beginning of
the year#
During the sane period the net amount of Federal reserve
notes outstanding increased by 82 millions, while the earning assets
of the banks decreased by 54 millions# Of the remaining 64 millions
of gold gained by the system by far the larger portion apparently has
come to the banks in the shape of member bank deposits#
Large gains in gold reserve are reported by the New York, Cleve­
land, St# Louis and Minneapolis banks, partly through transfers of
gold credits from the Philadelphia and Chicago banks* New Yorkfs gain
of over 12 millions in cash reserve is accompanied by an increase of
about 6*8 millions in reserve deposits, the liquidation of 2.6 millions
of earning assets, mostly acceptances, the redemption of 3*3 millions
of mutilated Federal reserve notes, and an increase of 1*9 millions
in the amount due to other Federal reserve banks.
Liquidation of
investments and in some cases also gains in depositsao-count for the
increases in reserve shown for the other banks*
Discounted paper on hand increased about 1*6 millions, the larger
increase reported by the Boston bank being offset to a large extent
b}r considerable liquidation of this class of paper by the Cleveland
and Chicago banks* Of the total given, 3 *^ millions is represented
by 15-day collateral notes discounted for members by 9 reserve banks.
About 3*3 millions, net, of acceptances were liquidated during the
week, though Boston reports a large net addition to the amount of bank
bills held#
No changes are indicated in the holdings of United States
bonds, while 3 banks report a total of $393*000 of Treasury notes sold
during the week#
Municipal warrants on hand show practically un­
changed amounts* Total earning assets are nearly 168 millions and^
constitute at present about 3 OO per cent of the banks1 paid-in capital,
compared with 3 O3 P®1* cent the week before, and about 400 per cent at
the beginning of the year* Of the total held at present,acceptances
constitute 50*3 Per cent; United States bonds, 17*4 per’ cent; discounts,
12.0 per cent; Treasury notes 11*0 per cent; and warrants 9*3 Per cent>
Government deposits show an increase of $865^000, the larger gain
reported by Chicago being due chiefly to a transfer of funds from the
San Francisco bank*
Member bank reserve deposits went up by 9*3
millions, mainly at the Boston and New York banks*
Federal Reserve Agents report a total of $382,564,000 of Federal
reserve notes outstanding, or $ 10 , 320,000 more than the week before,
considerable amounts of notes having been issued by the New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago banks# Against the total outstanding the
Agents hold $360,668,000 of gold and $ 23 , 050,000 of paper*
The banks
report an actual circulation of $357^765^000 of Federal reserve notes
and aggregate net liabilities thereon of $15,941,000.

STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS♦
April 7, 1317*

The Federal Reserve Board made public today its regular weekly bank
statement as at clfise of business on April 5 - 6, 1917s
“the Federal •
-Reserve Banks, of Philadelphia and Minneapolis, also the Federal Reserve
Branch of New Orleans, observed last Friday as a legal holiday., the
statement shows the condition of these institutions as at close of
business April 5th. The condition of the other banks is shown as at
close of business on April 6th.
The statement reflects to some extent the results of several recent
operations in United States securities which effect all the twelve Federa-1 reserve banks. All of the banks report holdings of United States
certificates of indebtedness allotted to them by the Secretary of the
Treasury after the proposed issue 01 ^0 millions had been overscribed
by the banks♦ Considerable increases are shown in the amount of United
States bonds and Treasury notes held as the result of purchases through
the Treasurer of $10,877,500 of United States bonds with circulation
privilege formerly owned by ITational tanks, and of the conversion about
April^ 1st of a certain amount e£* 2 per cent bonds into 3 Per cent 3 Oyear Donds and one-year Treasury notes without the circulation privilege#
Furthermore $ 1 , f^^jQOO of Treasury notes due on April 1st previously
sold were repurchased by the New York and Cleveland banks.
The depletion of the banks1 cash reserve through the transfer of
gold to the Treasury on account of the 50 million dollar loan was fully
made up by heavy cash deposits during the week by member *banks, mainly
in New York City. As the net result of all these operations the aggre­
gate cash reserves of the Federal reserve banks show a decrease for the
week of only about 2.4 millions, while their combined gold reserves
show a decrease of about 12*3 millions.
During the week the net amount of Federal reserve notes issued in­
creased by $18,134,000 and the amount of gold transferred to the agents
as cover for outstanding notes by $17,782,000*
The aggregate gold
resources of the system, including amounts of gold held by the Federal
reserve banks a,nd Agents, show an increa.se during the week from $338,046,000 to $9^3;552,0:0, while the total amount of lawful money held by
the system at present is $962, 662, 000, an increase of $15 , 33L'-,000 for
the week.
Earning assets of the banks, other than Government securities, show
smaller totals than the week before,
In particular, discounts show a
decrease of about 2.2 millions, Boston reporting the largest net amount
of liquidation under this head'. Of the total discounts $2,535*000, as
against $3 >400,000 the week before, is represented by member banks1 col­
lateral notes held by 8 reserve banks. Acceptances on hand likewise
show a decrease of about .1 .7 millions, both New York and Boston reporting
smaller amounts than at the end of the preceding week. Only £ banks
increased their holdings of municipal warrants, the total on hand being
about one-half million less than the week before.
Total earning assets stand at present at $225,541,000, and constitute
over 400 per cent of the banks1 paid-in capit?.l, compared with 3 OO per
cent on March 30*
Of the total earning assets, acceptances represent 36.7 per cent; U. S, certificates of indebtedness - 22*2 per cent; U. S.
bonds - 16.2 per cent; Treasury notes - 10,2 per cent; discounts - 8*0
per cent, and municipal warrants - 6*7 per cent.
Nearly one-half of the
banks1 present investments are composed fof Government securities.
Govern­
ment deposits show an increase of about 2§*3 millions,due mainly to the
credit operations of the Government during the past week. Member bank
reserve deposits increased 37*8 millions, the New York.bank alone reporting
an increase of 37*3 millions for the week.
