Following a practically stoa3;r dncli.no in gold reserves since the removal on
June 5 of the gold enlarge the Foueral Reserve bank statement issued as at close of
business on September 5 > for the first- time ~h.ow» a- slight gain in sold and totel
reserves, the amount

of gold deposited during the week by the Treasury exceeding

the amount withdrawn for export*

The total gold reserves shown are exclusive of

107.1 millions of gold "in transit or in custody in foreign countries,11 the amount
of gold received in payment for food supplied to the German Government*

This gold,

when received and hold "earmarked11 for Federal Reserve banks by the Bank of England,
will increase the gold reserves of the Federal 'Reserve banks and thus bring about a
rise in their reserve percentage*
War paper holdings of the Reserve banks went up 25*9 millions, those of other
discounts 6* 4 millions, while acceptances on hand show a decline for the week of
2*5 millions«

Net investments in Treasury certificates aggregated 6*8 millions,

increasing the total holdings to 250*2 millions, as against 223
eral Reserve bank notes in circulation**
Louis, and Minneapolis banks include

millions o± Fed­

War paper holdings of the Chicago, St*

56*8 millions of bills discounted for other

Federal Reserve banks, as against 53*7 millions the week before,'while'acceptance
holdings of the Kansas City and San Francisco banks are inclusive of 51*2 millions
purchased from other Federal Reserve banks#
Government deposits are shown Uf*6. millions and reserve deposits 27*7 millions
larger than the week before*

On the other hand the "float ** carried by the Reserve

banks was 38 «6 millions more*

The result is seen in a reduction of not deposits by

5.7 millions*

As against this slight reduction Federal Reserve notes in circula­

tion show an increase for the week of 31*1 millions*
banks accordingly declined from




50*7 to 50-^ por cent*

CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS.
Further moderate reduction

in the holdings of Government securities ana of

war paper accompanied however by commensurate increases in accommodation at Re
serve banks is indicated by the Federal Reserve Board's statement of condition on
August 29 of 773 member banks in leading cities*
Holdings of U .S . bonds declined daring the week 5«s millions, those ot Vic­
tory notes - 5.7 millions, and those of Treasury certificates - 2$ .9 millions - a
total reduction in U .S . securities of 4 l A millions.

War paper on hand fell off

6.5 millions, largely at the member banks in New York City, while loans secured
by stocks and bonds declined 28 A millions, larger liquidation under this head by
member banks in F.R, bank cities being offset somewhat by increases shown for the
banks in the less important centers.
for the week of

63.9

Other loans and investments show an increase

millions, a larger increase being shown for the banks m the

Federal Reserve bank cities*
Aggregate holdings of Government war securities and war paper were 3iAl*l
millions, as against 3459*3 millions the week before, and constitute 22.8 per
cent of the total loans and investments of all reporting banks, as against

23*1

per cent the week before.
Net withdrawals of Government deposits are given as Ug.7 millions, other
demand deposits (net) fell off 4 .4 millions, while time deposits show a gain for
the week of

19.1

increased by

37.8

millions.'

Reserve balances, all with the Federal Reserve banks,

millions, while accommodation at the Federal Reserve banks, as

measured by the total of collateral notes and customers' paper discounted for re­
porting banks, increased by

32.2

millions, of which 27-5 millions represants the

increase in accommodation secured by member banks in New York City,
