STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.

March 10, 1917*

The Federal Reserve Board rn^de public today its weekly statement show­
ing condition of the Federal reserve banks as at clone of business on Fri­
day, March 9; 19^7•
The statement indicates a further strengthening of
the gold and cash reserves of the banks through increased deposits of mem­
ber banks and liquidation of commercial and bank bills*
About 11 million/
dollars of gold were transferred to Federal Reserve Agents, as cover for
additional issues of Federal reserve note?The volume of notes in actual
circulation, as reported by the banks;show3 an even larger increase, the
banks apparently having paid out during the week notes in exchange for
gold.
For the past four weeks the banks have gained about 5^ millions
of <iol} and nearly 10 million? of other money, while the Agents, during
the same period, increased their gold holdings by about 40 millions. The
total cash resources cf the system stand now at $B35, 606,000, compared
with $757,111,000 at the opening of the year, marking an increase of
about 17 per cent during the past 10 weeks.
In the case of New York the gain of 7*9 millions in gold reserve, and
of l6>6 millions in total reserve is due largely to ths increase in .net
deposi*1•§,also to liquidation of acceptances, the diminution of the amount
of Federal reserve notes on hand and the increase in the balance duw to
other Federal reserve banks.
Philadelphia^ gain of b*] millions in re­
serve is accompanied by a change ofaxavorable balance" of 2*4 millions to
an adverse balance of $7^8,000 in account with other Federal reserve banks,
also by an increase in net deposits and by liquidation in some volume of
bills on hand*
Increases in reserve shown for the St, Louis, Minneapolis
and San Francisco banks result chiefly from liquidation of earning assets
and increases in net deposits*
Discounted paper on hand decreased $3^0,000 for the week, Of the total
given, $ 4 , 006, 000, as against $3 , 621 , 000, the week before,, is represented by
member banks1 collateral notes, over one-half of which are held at present
by the Cleveland and Chicago banks*
Acceptances on hand shew a decrease
of about 5*2 millions, all the banks, except Boston and Minneapolis, re­
porting smaller holdings than the week before.
Transactions in United
States bonds are shown for three banks, resulting in an increase of $476 ,000 in the total held*
No change appears in the amount of Treasury notes
on hand*
All the banks,except Cleveland, report either unchanged or
smaller totals of warrants held.
Total earning assets decreased about
5 millions and constitute at present 344 Per cent cf the combined paid-in
capital of the banks, compared with 353 per cent the week before.
Of tnc
total 56*4 per c-3nt is represented hy acceptances; 15*1 Per cent by United
States bonds; 10*1 per cent by Treasury notes; 9*& Pcr cent by discounts,
and 8*8 per cent by warrants*
Government deposits show a decrease for tho week of $ 1 ,7 6 1 ^ 0 0 , Boston,
Atlanta and Chicago reporting the largest net withdrawals of Government
funds# Member banks' reserve deposits show an increase of $11,535^000,
while net member bank deposits show an increase for the week of $21,70^000*
■Federal Spserve Agents report a total of $355;2^3>000, net, of Federal
reserve notes issued, an increase of $ H , 416,000 for the week. This total
is covered by $328,433,000 of gold and $29,686,000 cf paper.

liabilities thereon of $18,737,000-4

1917 .

Continued gains of gold "by both the Federal reserve banks and
Agents, together with increases in deposits and liquidation in some
volume of acceptances are indicated in the Federal Reserve Board's v?cekly
statement as at close of business on March 16, 1917* The reserve position
of the banks as indicated by the percentages of gold and cash reserve
against aggregate net deposit and nfcte liabilities is stronger now than
at any time during the past 12 months.
Aggregate gold reserves of the banks increased about 21*2 millions,
the New York, Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco banks reporting the
largest gains for the week. The New York bank reports net liquidation
of 3*8 millions of investments, chiefly acceptances, also gains of over
3-1 millions in Government deposits, and of 10 .3 millions in net member
bank deposits.
On the other hand, the bank shows a reduction of 3*2 mil­
lions in its balance due fo other Federal reserve banks, and an increase
of over $890,000 in the amount of Federal reserve notes on hand.
The
net result of these changes is an increase of I 3.2 millions in total
reserve.
In the case of the other 3 banks the gains 'in total reserve
are due largely to- liquidation of acceptances and to reductions in the
amounts due from other Federal reserve banks.
Discounted paper on hand shows a decrease of 1.3 millions, Eoston
and Chicago reporting the largest decreases for the week. Of the total
discounts about 3-1/4 millions, as against over 4 millions the week be­
fore, were member banks' collateral notes, discounted by 10 Reserve
Banks.
Acceptances on hand decreased about 11. 9 millions, all the
banks ©’xcept Boston and Atlanta reporting smaller holdings of this class
of paper than the week before. But few changes are shown in the amounts
if United States bonds and notes held..
None of the banks report addi­
tions to their holdings of municipal warrants, the aggregate amount on
hand showing a net decrease for the week of over $900,000.
Total earn­
ing assets of the banks decreased 14.1 millions, and constitute at pre­
sent 319 P©r cent of the banks' paid-in capital, compared with 344 per
cent the week before.
Of the total 54-3 Per cent is represented by
acceptances; 16.3 per cent by United States bonds; 10.8 per cent by
Treasury notes; 9*6 per cent by discounts and 9*0 P©r cent by warrants.
Government deposits increased 6.2

increase for the week of 5-6 mil­
decline of 1.2 millions.

Federal reserve notes issued by the Agents have reached a total
of $363,278,000, an increase of slightly over 8 millions for the week.
Against the total issued the Agents hold $338,608,000 of gold and
$ 26, 129,000 of paper.
The actual Federal reserve note circulation, as
shown by the banks is $ 336 , 061, 000, or about 10 millions less than the
amount of "greenbacks" outstanding. Aggregate liabilities of the banks
on notes in circulation are given as $19,444,000.
