STATMENT FOR THE PRESS,
M<\rch I S ,

? V I9 *

Substantial withdrawals of Government deposits, more thon offset by addi­
tions to members1 reserve deposits, and further increases in note circulation
are indicated by the Federal Reserve Board1s weekly bank statement issued as
at close of business on March lU, 1919♦
But little change is reported in the total of v^ar paper held.. Oth^r diac­
counts on hand show a reduction of 2*2 millions, while acceptance holdings in­
dicate a net liquidation of 11 *U millions*

Interbank discounting accounts for

most of the changes in the holdings of acceptances and discounts reported by
the Chicago, Minneapolis, St* Louis and Kansas City banks.

The gain of 8*5

millions in U . S* short-term securities represents in part investments in oneyear Treasury certificates to secure Federal Reserve bank notes, partly tempor­
ary purchases of other Treasury certificates from member and non-member banks*
Total earning assets show a decrease of about ^ millions*
Government deposits show a decrease for the week of Vi*# millions, while
members1 reserve deposits show an increase of U9 millions.

Het deposits, be­

cause of the larger Afloat” reported this week, show a decline of J2.*6 millions*
The banks1 note circulation wont up by 17*5 millions, of which 1^*6 millions
represents an increase in Federal Reserve note circulation reported by the
Boston, Hew York and Chicago banks, and 2.Q millions - an increase in liabili­
ties on Federal Reserve bank note circulation-

As the result of the consider­

able decrease in deposit liabilities the banks1 reserve percentage remains un­
changed at 51 ^ p^r cent, notwithstanding a decrease of 8*7 millions in cash
reserves and.-an increase of 1*1*6 millions in Federal Reserve note liabilities#
