STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
June 24, 1916.

Substantial gains
creases in the amounts
of the Federal reserve
statement issued today
ness on June 23, 1916.

in gold and total reserves, and considerable in­
of acceptances on hand, and of government deposits
banks., are indicated by the regular weekly bank
by the Federal Reserve Board as at close of busi­

St. Louis and Richmond report increases in gold reserve of 2«4 and
realizing upon their favorable balances due
from other Federal reserve banks. The gains of 2.3 and of 1.1 millions
shown by the Dallas and Minneapolis banks are due largely to the with­
drawals of gold ffom the Agents in exchange for Federal reserve notes.
The gains just shown are offset in part by net withdrawals of gold at
the Chicago, San Francisco and Boston banks, vised either for the pur-,
chase of acceptances or in the upbuilding of favorable balances with
other Federal reserve banks.

0.8 millions mainly frc©

Aggregate holdings of discounted paper show an increase of over
$300, 000, of which only about $ 100*000 represents the combined increase
for ;the 3 Southern ba: ks, the most active in the discount field* The
holdings of agricultural and live-stock paper maturing after 90 days in­
creased about $ 200,000 and are at present in excess of 4.8 millions, over
40 per cent of which is in the hands of the Dallas bank.
Acceptances on
hand increased over 4 million dollars, San Francisco, New York and Boston
accounting in the aggregate for about 3«5 millions of the total increase
for the week.
Of the total bills, including acceptances, on hand over
30 per cent mature within 30 days, and over 35 Per cent after 30, but within
60 days.
No changes are shown in the aggregate holdings of United States bonds
and notes, only two banks reporting small bond transactions for the week.
Municipal warrants on hand show a decrease for the week of $435; 000,
Philadelphia Bank reporting liquidation on a large scale of its holdings
of this class of investments.
Total earning assets of the banks are at present 168.4 millions,
or 3.9 millions in excess of the total reported at the end of the pre­
ceding week, and more than double the total shown about six months pre­
vious. Of the aggregate earning assets acceptances constitute at present
4l.O per cent; United States bonds 31*4 per cent; warrants 12.8 per cent;
discounts 12 .3 per cent; and Treasury notes 2.5 per cent.
Government deposits showan increase of 8*7 millions, all the banks
except Minneapolis reporting considerable gains for the week.
Net bank
deposits decreased about 4.7 millions, all the banks except Cleveland,
Minneapolis and Kansas City reporting smaller figures than the week be­
fore.
Of the total net deposits the amount standing to the credit of
the Government is now about 12 per cent, these percentages being much
larger in the case of the three Southern banks.
Practically no change is shown in the total of Federal reserve bank
notes in circulation.
Federal Eeserve Agants report a total of $ 176,955.>000 net of Federal reserve notes issued to the banks, or $ 2,847,000
less than the week before. Against the total outstanding they hold
$l66,823>000 of gold and $10,578/000 of paper. The banks report a total
of $153/038,000 of Federaljreserve notes in actual circulation,, and ag­
gregate net liabilities of $9,228,000 on notes issued to them by the
Agents.
