LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD,

Washington, June 24, 1935.
The SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Pursuant to the requirements of section 10 of the Federal Reserve
Act, I have the honor to submit the Twenty-first Annual Report,
prepared by direction of the Federal Reserve Board, covering operations during the calendar year 1934.
Yours respectfully,
M. S. ECCLES, Governor.




IX

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
Outstanding developments in the monetary and banking field in
1934, the year covered by this the Twenty-first Annual Report of the
Federal Reserve Board, were revaluation of gold at a rate of $35 per
ounce; a large volume of gold imports; expansion of bank deposits,
reflecting chiefly Government spending; and further progress in the
work of rehabilitating the banking structure. As a result of large
gold imports during the year, reserve balances held by member banks
of the Federal Reserve System rose to a new high level. Notwithstanding an increase in reserves required as a result of the increase in
deposits, balances held by member banks in excess of requirements
rose to the highest level on record.
Federal Reserve bank holdings of United States Government securities remained unchanged during the year, while their holdings of discounts and acceptances declined to a small figure, reflecting the
abundance of reserves which enabled member banks to repay borrowings at the Reserve banks and created a market outside of the Reserve
banks for all available acceptances.
In line with general declines in money rates, most of the Federal
Reserve banks reduced their discount rates in the early part of 1934
and again in the last few weeks of that year or the early weeks of 1935.
On February 1, 1935, the rates were l)i percent at 1 Reserve bank, 2
percent at 7 banks, and 2){ percent at 4, whereas at the beginning of
1934 the established rates ranged from 2 percent to 3K percent, with
5 banks at the highest of these levels. In December the Federal
Reserve Board fixed at 2% percent the maximum rate of interest that
member banks may pay on time and savings deposits after January
31, 1935. This was a reduction from 3 percent, the rate in effect
since November 1933.
Developments in 1934 were all in the direction of easier credit
conditions. The expansion in excess reserves during the year, which
was caused chiefly by gold imports, was not accompanied by an
increase in bill or security holdings of the Federal Reserve banks that
could be sold for the purpose of absorbing the excess reserves, if that
should become desirable. With this limitation on the System's
power to reduce member bank reserves by the sale of assets in the
open market, the System's ability to restrict credit expansion, if it
should become excessive, rests chiefly on new powers conferred upon

it by recent legislation. Among these are the power in an emergency
and with approval of the President to raise reserve requirements of
member banks, provided in the act of May 12, 1933; authority to
restrain speculative activities of member banks under different provisions of the Banking Act of 1933; and control of margin requirements on security loans by brokers and by banks, granted by the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Duties and activities of the Board and of the Federal Reserve
banks have been considerably enlarged by legislation passed during
recent years, and a large part of the work of the System in 1934 arose
out of this new legislation. These additional duties were imposed by
the Banking Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
an act permitting direct loans for industrial purposes by Federal
Reserve banks.
Federal Reserve banks were authorized by an act of Congress
approved June 19, 1934, to make advances within prescribed limitations for the purpose of providing working capital to established
industrial and commercial enterprises. Special efforts were made by
the Federal Reserve banks to discover needs for such loans and to
give prompt attention to applications. By the end of the year more
than $50,000,000 of applications for advances and for commitments
to make advances had been approved by the Federal Reserve banks,
$15,000,000 had been disbursed under these approved applications,
and $10,000,000 of commitments were outstanding.
The Banking Act of 1933 increased in various respects the scope
of the Federal Reserve Board's authority over the activities of
member banks. Under this act holding company affiliates of member banks are required to obtain from the Board permits to vote stock
in member banks; as a consequence of broadening the scope of the
provisions of the Clayton Act governing interlocking directorates the
Board was required to pass upon a largely increased number of applications; and it was also required to pass upon interlocking directorates
and correspondent relationships between member banks and dealers
in securities. Many questions arising in connection with the separation of security company affiliates from banks have been referred to
the Federal Reserve banks and to the Board. Examinations and
other preparations were made by the Board and Federal Reserve
agents, under provisions of the Banking Act of 1933, to certify State
member banks for participation in the permanent plan of the Federal
deposit insurance fund, but in view of the extension of the temporary deposit insurance fund for 1 year the Board was not called
upon for such certifications in 1934. A number of private banks,
subject to examination under the Banking Act of 1933, have elected
to be examined by Federal Reserve banks.



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

The Securities and Exchange Act imposed new duties on the
Federal Reserve Board in connection with the fixing of margin
requirements and the regulation of loans made for the purpose of
purchasing and carrying securities. In September the Board issued
a regulation (regulation T) on this subject.
In addition to these new activities of the Board it has had to pass
upon numerous reorganizations of member banks and applications
for reduction of capital stock. Reorganizations of national banks
have often necessitated new applications to the Board for the performance of trust powers. Performance of fiscal agency and other
duties for the United States Treasury Department and various
governmental credit agencies also increased the work of the Federal
Reserve banks in 1934.
By the end of 1934 banks closed during the bank holiday in March
1933 had nearly all been licensed to resume operations, reorganized,
or placed in the hands of receivers for liquidation. The number of
active banks belonging to the Federal Reserve System increased in
1934 by 431, in consequence of the licensing of additional banks, the
organization of new national banks, and the entrance of nonmember
banks into the System. The reopening of banks was facilitated by
purchases of preferred stock and capital notes and debentures by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and the Corporation also hastened the paying off of depositors of closed banks by making loans on
the remaining assets of these banks. The number of suspensions of
licensed banks in 1934 was smaller than for any year since 1920.
During the year most of the commercial banks in the country became
members of the Federal Deposit Insurance System.
Under the terms of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, on January 30
title to all gold held by the Federal Reserve banks was transferred
to the United States Government at a valuation of $20.67 an ounce
in exchange for an equivalent amount of gold certificates. On
January 31 the President by proclamation reduced the weight of the
gold dollar from 25.8 grains to 15%i grains of gold nine-tenths fine,
thereby establishing the gold content of the dollar at 59.06 percent
of its former weight and raising the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 a
fine ounce. The resulting increase in the value of gold held by the
United States, amounting to about $2,800,000,000, accrued to the
Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury announced that beginning
February 1 he would be prepared until further notice to purchase
gold and under certain conditions to sell gold for export at the new
price.
As a result of revaluation of the dollar, of the inclusion of gold purchased in previous weeks by the Government, and of large gold
imports after January, the monetary gold stock of the United States
increased in 1934 by $4,200,000,000. Imports of gold from abroad

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

reflected in part an excess of merchandise exports and in part a flow
of capital to this country.
Member bank reserve balances increased by about $1,400,000,000
during the year, of which $450,000,000 was absorbed in meeting
increased reserve requirements arising from the growTth in bank
deposits. Reserves in excess of legal requirements rose to nearly
$1,800,000,000, an increase of about $950,000,000 during the year.
Member banks employed a part of their available funds in increasing their investments, principally their holdings of United States
Government securities. Holdings of open-market commercial paper
and acceptances also increased somewhat, but repayment of customers' loans continued to exceed new loans made.
Deposits at member banks, exclusive of interbank and United
States Government deposits, increased by about $4,000,000,000 during
1934. The increase in deposits, other than bankers' deposits, was
relatively larger at banks in.small towns and in the agricultural
sections of the country than at banks in larger cities. Country banks,
however, having no direct access to the open market, held a larger
proportion of their new deposits as idle balances, while city banks
invested a somewhat larger proportion of the increase in their deposits in Government securities and open-market paper.
The abundance of funds seeking employment was reflected in
continued declines in interest rates, which at the beginning of 1934
were already at exceptionally low levels. Open-market rates on 90day bankers' acceptances declined to one-eighth of 1 percent, and
rates charged customers by banks in financial centers throughout the
country declined to new low levels for the post-war period. Yields
on long-term Treasury bonds declined to below 3 percent and yields
on high-grade corporate bonds were at approximately the lowest
levels of this century.
New issues of corporate securities continued to be in small volume
during 1934. Issues by States and local governments increased
considerably and were substantially larger than in 1933 and somewhat
larger than in 1932. Issues by the Federal Government and its
agencies were larger than in any year since the war, far exceeding in
amount all other new securities offered in the year. Prices of highgrade bonds advanced, while stock prices showed little change.
Volume of production and trade for the year 1934 as a whole
was larger than in 1933 and at the end of the year was at a higher
level than at the beginning. Output of industrial products and
employment in factories showed wide fluctuations during the
year, although the movements were narrower than in 1933.
Crop production, which had been relatively well maintained
throughout the depression, showed a marked reduction in 1934
as a consequence of prolonged drought and of acreage reductions,
but with higher prices, increased marketings of livestock, and Govern

ment rental and benefit payments farm income was larger than in 1933.
Construction work on public projects showed a considerable increase,
while private construction continued in small volume. Retail trade
increased in the course of the year and was considerably larger in
rural areas than in 1933. Wholesale prices of agricultural products
and foods advanced sharply in 1934, as in 1933, while prices of other
commodities showed little change from the level reached at the end
of 1933, which was higher than at the beginning of that year.
GOLD AND SILVER IN 1934

Important factors in the monetary situation in 1934 were legislative
enactments and administrative measures in reference to gold and silver. Among these were the enactment of the Gold Reserve Act, the
subsequent revaluation of the dollar, the passage of the Silver Purchase Act, and the acquisitions of silver under authority of this act.
The provisions of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 are summarized
in a subsequent section of this report. The act was passed and
approved on January 30, 1934, and on that date title to gold held by
the Federal Reserve banks was transferred to the United States
Government.
The President's proclamation of January 31, 1934.—By virtue of
the powers granted in the act approved May 12, 1933, as amended
by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, the President issued a proclamation
on January 31, reducing the weight of the gold dollar from 25.8
grains to 15%i grains of gold nine-tenths fine. In the proclamation
the President reserved the right, within the limits prescribed by the
law, to alter or modify the weight of the gold dollar as the interest of
the United States might require. On January 31 the mints were
authorized by the Treasury regulations issued under the Gold Reserve
Act of 1934 to purchase (a) gold recovered from natural deposits in
the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
which shall not have entered into monetary or industrial use, (6) unmelted scrap gold, and (c) gold imported into the United States after
January 30, 1934. Purchases were to be made at the rate of $35 per
fine troy ounce less a handling charge of }{ percent and the usual mint
charges. The Secretary of the Treasury stated that whenever our
exchange rates with gold standard currencies should reach the gold
export point he would, until further notice, also sell gold for export to
foreign central banks at the rate of $35 per fine troy ounce plus a
handling charge of % percent. Most of the purchases of imported
gold as well as sales of gold for export were to be made through the
Federal reserve Bank of New York as fiscal agent of the United States.
Increase in monetary gold stock of the United States.—Reduction
in the gold content of the dollar immediately increased the value of
the reported gold holdings of the Treasury by approximately $2,800,

000,000. At the same time the reported monetary gold stock of the
country was further increased by the addition of about $200,000,000
of gold purchased by the Government in connection with its goldbuying program of previous months. At the outset these increases
in the gold stock of the country were retained as an addition to the
cash holdings of the Treasury and had no effect upon Federal Reserve
bank or member bank reserves. During the remainder of the year,
however, the Treasury transferred some of this additional gold to the
Federal Reserve banks in the form of gold certificate credits, thus
increasing its deposits with Federal Reserve banks. As these deposits
were reduced by Treasury expenditures in the course of the year,
member banks obtained additional reserve funds.
In the months following revaluation there were large imports of
gold, as well as substantial purchases of newly produced and other
domestic gold. In the course of the year the gold stock was increased
by a total amount of $4,202,000,000, comprising the increment of
$2,812,000,000 resulting from revaluation, $1,217,000,000, of net imports and releases from earmark, including imports of gold purchased
by the Government prior to January 31, 1934, and $174,000,000
obtained from production, Government holdings in this country not
previously reported, return of coin by the public, purchases of scrap,
old gold, and the like.
There were substantial changes in the distribution of the monetary
gold stock during the year, as shown in the table below. The Treasury turned over $2,000,000,000 of the increment resulting from reduction in the gold content of the dollar to the exchange stabilization
fund and placed $812,000,000 in a special balance held separately as a
part of the general fund. Subsequently, $200,000,000 of gold from
the exchange stabilization fund was deposited by the Treasury with
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for use by the fund and
about $8,000,000 from the $812,000,000 balance was transferred to
the Federal Reserve banks under section 13b of the Federal Reserve
Act, which authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the
Federal Reserve banks certain amounts against advances and commitments to provide working capital for industrial and commercial
concerns.

Return of gold certificates and gold coin from circulation and
release of gold held in the general fund against specific liabilities
provided an additional amount of $125,000,000 of gold available for
use by the Treasury or for the Reserve banks' gold-certificate funds.
As a result of the gold thus released, of that made available from the
revaluation increment, imports, earmarked supplies, new production,
and new monetary holdings of the public, Federal Reserve bank goldcertificate reserves and Treasury gold not reported as held in special
balances showed a total increase of $1,722,000,000. The increase in
Reserve bank gold-certificate reserves amounted to $1,574,000,000.
Gold imports.—Following revaluation of the dollar and announcement of the Treasury's willingness to buy and sell gold, there was a
large flow of gold to the United States. Net imports in the year
amounted to $1,134,000,000 and net releases from earmark to $83,000,000. Of the net imports $500,000,000 came from England,
$260,000,000 from France, and the rest from Holland, Canada, India,
Mexico, and other countries.
These imports of gold were, in considerable measure, an outcome
of the definite fixation, at a lower value, of the dollar in terms of gold
and foreign currencies. Definitive revaluation in January 1934
followed 9 months during which the prevailing tendency of the
dollar on the exchanges was downward. The premium on foreign
currencies after April 1933 was an inducement to American sales of
merchandise in foreign markets and a corresponding discouragement
to American purchases abroad. The tendency to increase the export

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

surplus in the country's merchandise trade with the world, however,
was not immediately apparent, for the initial decline of the dollar
in the spring of 1933 was accompanied by a wave of domestic buying
that involved the purchase of foreign products as well. A rapid
increase of imports at that time—chiefly in the form of raw materials—
reversed the country's balance of trade for the period May through
September as a whole. As the buying movement subsided, however,
and the stimulus to American sales abroad began to have some effect
in increased shipments of American manufactures and other products,
the export surplus reappeared. By November 1933 it was on a considerable scale, and in the 12 months ending October 1934 the surplus
of the country's merchandise trade with the world reached a figure of
$510,000,000 as compared with $180,000,000 in the preceding 12
months. The increased demand for dollars to pay for this growing
surplus of merchandise exports was more than offset in the closing
months of 1933 and in January 1934 by gold purchases abroad for
account of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Treasury.
Although these purchases served to balance the international transactions of the country, they had no immediate effect on member
bank reserves since the funds employed were borrowed from the
market. It was not until the new gold legislation in 1934 became
effective that these purchases were taken up into monetary gold stock.
Under the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 and the President's proclamation of January 31 the international gold value of the dollar was
fixed by administrative action somewhat below the level to which it
had already fallen on the exchanges. The enlarged surplus of merchandise exports continued, and its effects were intensified to an
important degree by a movement of capital to the United States.
This movement was particularly great in the 2 months that followed
establishment of a new gold level for the dollar. The $650,000,000 of
gold acquired by the Treasury at that time reflected for the most part
a return of American funds from abroad and a movement of foreign
capital into dollar balances and securities. Subsequently gold continued to move into the United States, although on a much diminished
scale, until August when a moderate reversal of the movement
occurred.
The interruption to the inward flow of gold appears to have been
due in some measure to the more active silver policy adopted under the
powers conferred by the Silver Purchase Act. This act is discussed
in a subsequent section. Following nationalization of silver on August
9 there was a temporary tendency for capital to move abroad, and
American purchases of silver in London, Shanghai, and other centers,
as evidenced by shipments to this country, attained a volume of
about $20,000,000 a month. For a time these factors were sufficient
to carry gold out of the country; but the advent of the large surplus of



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

9

merchandise exports in the fall, when Europe was receiving little
from American tourists, and the development of political difficulties
in certain countries of the gold bloc, led to a further substantial
movement of gold to the United States in the closing months of the
year. Silver imports at this time were in diminished volume, China
having suspended the free operation of the silver standard in October.
World gold reserves.—The increase in monetary gold stock of the
United States during 1934 was not accompanied by a reduction in the
aggregate of central bank reserves abroad. On the contrary, the
reported gold reserves of foreign central banks and governments
increased by $130,000,000, valued at $35 an ounce.
Additions to central gold reserves of the United States and other
countries during 1934 came largely from the following sources, expressed in terms of the dollar at its new^ valuation: The total output
of the world's gold mines in 1934 had a dcllar value of $940,000,000;
gold dishoarded in the Orient during the year amounted to $250,000000; and about $100,000,000 of domestic scrap gold from ornaments
and other personal possessions and from industrial uses was sold to
the United States Treasury in 1934. The combined total of scrap
sold to the Treasury, gold released from oriental holdings, and world
mining output thus accounts for about $1,290,000,000 of the $1,580,000,000 increase in reported gold reserves of central banks and
governments of the world during 1934. The remainder, amounting
to nearly $300,000,000, affords a rough indication of the amount
of gold coming out of unreported holdings in western countries.
Included in unreported holdings are those of the British exchange
equalization fund.
Although reported gold reserves of foreign countries as a whole
increased somewhat during 1934, in a number of countries there
were substantial declines. Eeserves in Germany declined $124,000,000; in Italy $114,000,000; in the Netherlands $54,000,000; in Belgium
$53,000,000; in Switzerland $29,000,000; and in New Zealand $16,000,000. Reserves in Czechoslovakia increased $26,000,000; in Japan
$35,000,000; in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics $40,000,000;
and in South Africa $43,000,000. By far the largest increase, however,
occurred in gold reserves of the Bank of France, which, notwithstanding considerable fluctuations, were $333,000,000 larger at the
end of the year than at the beginning. They were still, however,
somewhat below the peak attained in December 1932.
Since the outbreak of the World War the greatest increases in gold
reserves have been in the United States and France. The chart shows
the movements in central gold reserves of five leading financial
countries during a 20-year period. It is so arranged as to value
reserves since January 1934 at $35 an ounce and previously at $20.67.
without destroying the continuity of the series.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

In the early years of the period gold holdings of the Federal Reserve
banks were increased not only by gold imports but by the transfer of
reserves from member bank vaults, and reserves of central banks in
England, France, and Germany were increased by the recall of gold
from monetary circulation to aid in prosecuting the war. Both the
United States and the Netherlands received large amounts of gold during the war in payment for purchases of materials by the belligerents.
In the early post-war period gold continued to flow to the United
States, which occupied a creditor position and was the most important free market for the metal until the general return to the gold
standard that began toward the end of 1924.

After de facto stabilization of the franc at the end of 1926, the gold
movement for 5 years was predominantly toward France. The movement reflected the fact that France during the period of currency
depreciation had experienced a continuous outflow of capital which
had been balanced in her international payments by a large excess
of exports over imports. When after de facto stabilization capital
began to flow back to France, the Bank of France accumulated both
gold and foreign exchange. The rapid increase in gold reserves of
the Bank of France after England's departure from the gold standard
in September 1931 reflected mainly the bank's conversion into gold
of these previously acquired foreign exchange holdings in order to
avoid further losses through currency depreciation abroad. The



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

11

increase at the same time of gold reserves in the Netherlands, Belgium,
and Switzerland was in part of a similar character. Since the only important foreign exchange holdings on which central banks could freely
realize were in New York, most of the gold acquired was drawn from
the United States. The movements were concentrated in the fall
of 1931 and the spring of 1932. From that time until the end of 1934
foreign countries added little gold to their reported holdings, while
the United States gained large amounts of gold in the last half of 1932
and again in 1934.
Silver Purchase Act of 1934.—Monetary silver stock of the United
States increased considerably in 1934. Most of the increase took
place as a result of the Silver Purchase Act. The act, which became
law on June 19, declared it to be the policy of the United States that
the proportion of silver to gold in metallic monetary stocks in the
United States be increased with the ultimate objective of having
and maintaining one-quarter of the value of such stocks in silver.
To attain this objective the Secretary of the Treasury was directed
to purchase silver at home or abroad at such rates and at such times
and upon such terms and conditions as he might deem reasonable
and most advantageous to the public interest, provided, however,
that no purchase should be made at a price in excess of the monetary
value of the silver (approximately $1.29 per fine ounce) and that
no purchase of silver situated in the continental United States on
May 1, 1934, should be made at a price in excess of 50 cents per
fine ounce. The President was further given the power to order the
delivery to the mints of any or all silver by whomever owned or
possessed. Currency was to be exchanged for such silver to the
amount of its monetary value, less such deductions for seigniorage
and other charges as the President should approve, provided that
in no case should the amount of currency exchanged be less than
the value of silver at the time of the order as determined by the
market price over a reasonable period of time.
Acting under these powers the President on August 9 ordered that
with certain exceptions all silver situated in the United States on that
date should be delivered to the mints within 90 days in exchange for
currency at the rate of approximately 50 cents per fine ounce of silver.
Among the types of silver to which the order did not apply were
silver held for industrial, professional, and artistic use, and silverware;
as well as newly mined domestic silver not subsequently processed
to a fineness of over 0.8, which could be sold to the mints at 64% cents
under the President's proclamation of December 21, 1933. Through
January 4, 1935, silver with a net cost value of about $56,000,000 had
been turned in under the nationalization order. Other operations
under the Silver Purchase Act are not reported separately, but from
the time of the nationalization order to the end of the year there were



12

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

net imports of silver into the United States costing about $74,000,000.
In addition, during 1934 silver with a net cost value of about $14,000,000 was acquired by the Treasury from domestic mines. Against
the cost of the silver acquired from such sources and against silver
held in the Treasury on June 14 with a monetary value of about
$80,000,000, the Treasury issued silver certificates and a small amount
of coin. Certificates outstanding increased from less than $500,000,000 at the beginning of the year to $700,000,000 at the end. Silver
certificates and coin combined increased by $225,000,000.
ALTERED RESERVE SITUATION IN 1934

Largely as a result of the inflow of gold, member bank reserve
balances, which at the end of 1933 were nearly $400,000,000 larger
than in 1929, were further increased by about $1,400,000,000 in 1934.
At the end of the year reserve balances held by member banks totaled
$4,100,000,000, the largest amount ever held, and were $1,800,000,000
in excess of requirements.
Factors in growth.—The table shows the principal factors that
influenced the volume of member bank reserve balances and their
changes during the 4 years from the end of 1929 to the end of 1933
and also during the year 1934. The table is arranged to bring out
the fact that increases in Reserve bank credit, in gold stock, and in
Treasury and national bank currency outstanding have the effect
of increasing the supply of funds available for bank reserves, while
decreases in these items reduce this supply. Increases in money
in circulation, in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve
banks, in nonmember deposits at Federal Reserve banks, and in other
Federal Reserve accounts, on the other hand, reduce, and decreases
in these items increase, the supply of funds available for bank reserves.
The chart shows weekly movements of these various items during
the past 6 years.

The expansion of reserves during the 4 years of depression—

of over $500,000,000 borrowed from the Federal Reserve banks in
the preceding period of activity. That member bank reserves had

nevertheless increased above the*; levels of 1929 was attributable to
the open-market operations offthe Federal Reserve banks. With a
view to establishing and maintaining easy money conditions, the
Federal Reserve banks had increased their holdings of United States
Government securities by the end of 1933 to $2,400,000,000.



14

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

During 1934 there were no further open-market purchases of
securities by the Federal Reserve banks; yet member bank reserves
were increased by a larger amount than in the preceding 4 years to a
level about 70 percent higher than in the years of active business
before the depression. In addition, funds were created in the Treasury by operations under gold and silver legislation during the year.
This growth of reserves in 1934 largely resulted from the increase in
gold stock described in the previous section and, in contrast with
increases in reserves in the preceding 4-year period, occurred without
any expansion in the holdings of securities by the Federal Reserve
banks. With the reserve funds obtained from gold imports member
banks were able to pay off practically all of their remaining borrowings
at the Federal Reserve banks, and banks and private lenders also
absorbed all of the bankers' acceptances on the market, with the
consequence that Reserve bank holdings of acceptances declined to a
small volume.
Member bank excess reserves.—As a result of the increase in
reserve balances during 1934 excess reserves of member banks rose
to new record levels. At the close of 1933 excess reserves amounted
to about $850,000,000. During 1934 member bank reserve balances
increased by approximately $1,400,000,000, but since reserve requirements increased $450,000,000 the actual rise in excess reserves
amounted to $950,000,000, bringing the total volume of excess
reserves at the end of the year to $1,800,000,000. Weekly fluctuations in the volume of excess reserves in recent years are shown on
the chart.
In August excess reserves at times amounted to over $1,900,000,000, but declined somewhat in the autumn. At the end of December

reserve balances actually held by member banks were almost as
large as at the peak in August, reflecting additions to the supply of
reserve funds resulting from gold imports and silver purchases, which
were offset by a seasonal increase in money in circulation and by an
increase in Treasury holdings of cash and deposits with Federal
Reserve banks. The decline in excess reserves after August resulted
from an increase in required reserves, which reflected a considerable
expansion in member bank deposits.



15

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Excess reserves continued to be well distributed among the major
groups of banks in the country. About $650,000,000 were held by
New York City banks, $760,000,000 by banks in Chicago and other
reserve cities, and $370,000,000 by country banks. The largest
increase in the year—$500,000,000—occurred at New York City
banks, reflecting in large part the increased holdings by banks in

by class of banks, as reported on member bank condition statements

Substantial increases in excess reserves occurred at member banks
in all Federal Reserve districts. The largest relative increases were
in the Boston, New York, and Philadelphia districts. The smallest
increases occurred in the Atlanta, Chicago, and St. Louis districts.
As shown in a subsequent section of this report many of the interior
banks increased their balances due from other banks during the
year. Thus city banks in effect were holding some of the excess
reserves of the country banks.



16

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Money in circulation.—The amount of money in circulation showed
little net change for 1934 as a whole, and fluctuations during the year
were more in accordance with the usual seasonal pattern than at any
time since the latter part of 1930. There were, however, changes in
the composition of money in circulation by denominations and by
kinds of money. Currency continued to return from hoarding in
1934, though in smaller volume than during the latter part of 1933,
and this return flow was offset by a growing demand for currency for
active use, reflecting partly an increase in wage payments and retail
trade and partly a tendency to use cash rather than checks as a
consequence of the tax on checks and increased service charges on
checking accounts.
Although there was a considerable reduction in the amount of
hoarded currency in 1934, the amount of currency not in active use
continued at a high level. An indication of the continued return of
currency from hoarding is contained in the data for large denominations. Currency with denominations of $20 and over declined by
$120,000,000 during the year. The smaller denomination currency,
on the other hand, and also subsidiary silver and minor coin showed
a net increase for the year. The following table shows by denominations the amount of paper currency outside of Federal Reserve banks
and Treasury offices. Figures for December 31, 1934, are compared
with those for October 31, 1930, just prior to the large increase in
hoarded currency, as well as with those for December 30, 1933.

in the demand for currency as a result of the lack of banking facilities
in some communities, as well as to other factors causing an increase
in the use of currency instead of checks. A portion also probably
reflects a continuance of hoarding, and it is likely that most of the
increase in currency in denominations of $20 and over reflects the
hoarding influence.
There was also some shift during 1934 in the kinds of currency in
circulation. Reductions of about $100,000,000 each occurred in
gold certificates, Federal Reserve bank notes, and national bank
notes. The decline in gold certificates represented a continuation
of their retirement from circulation under Treasury order, Federal
Reserve bank notes were retired by the Reserve banks with the passing of the emergency which occasioned their issue, and the decline
in national bank notes reflected the fact that national banks, having
a large volume of excess reserves, had no incentive for incurring the
expense, including the }i percent tax, of keeping their notes outstanding. The reduction in these classes of currency was partly offset
by an increase of nearly $200,000,000 in silver certificates and of
more than $100,000,000 of Federal Reserve notes in circulation.
MEMBER BANK CREDIT

On the basis of the increased reserves received in 1934, member
banks further increased their investments. The increase was principally in holdings of Government securities, and the funds thus
supplied, after being expended by the Government, were used either
to repay bank loans or were deposited at banks.
At the end of the year total deposits of all member banks were
larger than at any time since the autumn of 1931, while total loans and
investments were larger than at any time since the first half of 1932.
The increase in loans and investments was not so large as that in
deposits, owing principally to the fact that banks held a larger portion
of their funds in the form of excess reserves. Country and reserve
city banks also increased their balances with other banks, and the
growth in interbank deposits comprised a large part of the increase in
total deposits. Although city banks showed relatively larger increases
in investments, country banks in rural areas reported proportionately
larger increases in deposits, reflecting principally distribution of funds
throughout the country by Treasury expenditures, as well as the
increase in agricultural income in 1934.
Loans and investments.—Changes in loans and investments of
member banks during 1934 are shown in the following table and
changes from the beginning of 1922 are shown on the chart. The
most important of these changes were the increase of $2,650,000,000
in holdings of direct obligations of the United States Government and
that of $1,000,000,000 in securities guaranteed by the United States,

including those guaranteed as to principal only as well as those
guaranteed as to interest and principal. The guaranteed obligations
were in part purchased and in part obtained in exchange for mortgage
loans. Holdings of other securities also showed some increase. The
decrease in loans reflected declines in loans to banks and to other

purposes showed an increase of $230,000,000 in the third quarter of
the year and a corresponding decrease in the last quarter. These
changes were largely of a seasonal nature and occurred at city banks.

Growth in deposits.—During 1934 total deposits at member banks
showed an increase of about $6,700,000,000, to an aggregate of approximately $33,850,000,000. A substantial part of the increase during
the year represented a growth in interbank balances and United
States Government deposits, and in addition at the end of 1934 checks
on other banks and other items in process of collection held by banks
were, largely for temporary reasons, considerably larger in amount
than at the end of 1933. When adjustment is made for increases
in these items, the growth of customers' deposits during the year
amounted to about $4,000,000,000. The aggregate of deposits thus
adjusted was approximately $25,000,000,000, as compared with
about $21,000,000,000 on December 30, 1933, and was larger than
that for any report date since the autumn of 1931. In 1929 and
1930 the corresponding figure was close to $30,000,000,000. A small
part of the increase in deposits since 1933 reflects additions to
membership in the Federal Reserve System. Changes during 1934
in various types of deposits are shown in the following table.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

The largest element in the growth in deposits in 1934 was in demand
deposits of customers other than banks or governments. These
deposits showed an increase of $2,840,000,000, a part of which represented checks in process of collection, while time deposits of the same
group of customers increased in the year by about $1,060,000,000.
United States Government deposits with member banks showed an
increase of nearly $670,000,000 in the year, while Postal Savings
deposits were decreased by $325,000,000, reflecting the unwillingness
of some banks to hold such deposits, largely because of the rate of
interest required to be paid on them. Deposits of States, counties,
and municipalities increased by about $470,000,000. There was an
increase of $1,500,000,000 in balances due to banks, which at the end
of the year aggregated nearly $4,900,000,000, the largest amount
ever reported. This increase, nearly all of which occurred in balances
payable on demand, occurred notwithstanding the prohibition against
the payment of interest on demand deposits, and represented further
accumulation of idle funds by banks.
Factors in growth of deposits.—The most important factors in the
increase in deposits during the year were Treasury expenditures,
which were made from funds raised by the sale of securities to banks,
by the deposit with the Reserve banks of gold certificates based on
newly acquired gold, and by the issuance of silver certificates. The
Treasury during 1934 purchased about $1,400,000,000 of gold and
$200,000,000 of silver. The sale of this gold to the Treasury, which
paid for it by drafts on the Reserve banks, increased member bank
reserve balances. Except to the extent that gold purchases abroad
by importers of the gold were paid for by drawing down balances
held abroad by banks in this country, the increase in the gold stock
resulted in an increase in deposits at commercial banks. In connection with the silver purchases, silver certificates were issued in an
amount corresponding approximately to the purchase price of the
silver bought, and these certificates were either paid into circulation
directly by the Treasury or deposited with the Reserve banks. In
the former case deposit of an equivalent amount of currency at member banks and by them at the Reserve banks, and in the latter case
the expenditure of the Treasury balance with the Reserve banks, resulted in an increase of deposits and of reserves of member banks.
In addition to deposits created by Government purchases of .]the
precious metals, additional deposits resulted from sales of United
States Government obligations to banks and the subsequent disbursement of the funds by the Treasury. As previously shown, member
bank holdings of direct obligations of the Government increased by
$2,650,000,000 during the year. Purchases of Home Owners' Loan
Corporation bonds and Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds by



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

banks gave new funds to former holders, who had mostly received the
bonds in exchange for outstanding mortgage loans.
Deposits by classes of banks and by districts.—Although the
growth in deposits at member banks during 1934 was spread throughout the country, there were differences in changes at various classes
of banks, largely as a result of the Treasury in effect borrowing from
banks in one locality and expending the money and thus creating
deposits in other sections of the country. Deposits created in this
manner, however, did not always return to the banks that purchased
the securities. The following table shows increases during 1934 in
deposits at member banks in New York City, in other reserve cities,
and elsewhere. New York City banks showed proportionately the
largest increases in total deposits, but in the adjusted customers'
deposits the increase was greatest at country banks. Country banks
in places with a population of under 15,000 in 21 agricultural States
showed an increase of 26 percent in deposits, as compared with an
increase of 17 percent at other country banks and of 21 percent at
reserve city banks (including central reserve city banks in Chicago).

Although country banks showed a larger increase in adjusted customers' deposits in 1934 than did city banks, the net decline since
1929 was much larger in the case of country banks, amounting to
about 27 percent as compared with a net decline of about 7 percent
for all central reserve and reserve city banks. This difference was
due in part to the larger volume of failures among country banks
since 1929, and some of the increase in deposits at country banks in
1934 was due to the reopening of a number of unlicensed banks which
were not included in the reports for 1933.
By geographical areas, the largest increases during 1934 in the
adjusted customers' deposits occurred in the Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Kansas City districts, while the smallest were
in the New York, Boston, and Philadelphia districts. In nearly all
districts country banks showed larger increases in deposits than did



22

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

city banks. More detailed information by localities indicates that
deposits expanded most at rural banks in the Corn Belt and the
eastern cotton- and tobacco-growing States. In the States most
affected by drought, increases among rural banks were relatively
smaller, although in most cases substantial.
These regional differences in the growth of deposits reflect largely
the influence of Treasury operations, .together with increased agricultural income and increased activity in certain industries during the
year. The Treasury raised more funds in the larger cities than it
expended in those cities, wiiile in the predominantly rural regions
Treasury disbursements were considerably in excess of receipts. The
excess of Treasury disbursements over receipts was in the neighborhood of $300,000,000 each in the Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San
Francisco districts, and around $150,000,000 each in the St. Louis,
Atlanta, and Dallas districts. In each of these districts, except
Atlanta and San Francisco, this excess alone was more than sufficient
to account for the increase in adjusted^ deposits. Withdrawals by
the Treasury were concentrated largely in the New York district,
where receipts exceeded disbursements by about $1,300,000,000.
Deposits in this district, however, were increased by large gold
imports received during the year. Agricultural income, even when
Federal Government rental and benefit payments are excluded, was
somewhat larger in 1934 than in other recent years and especially so
in those agricultural regions not affected by drought. In the Chicago
and Cleveland districts increased activity in the automobile, agricultural implement, and meat-packing industries was also a factor
in increased deposits.
Use of funds by banks.—During 1934 member banks in addition to
increasing their investments, as previously shown, also increased
considerably their excess reserves with Federal Reserve banks and
their balances due from other banks. For individual banks both of
these items represent the accumulation of idle funds. For the
banking system as a whole only the volume of excess reserves represents the supply of idle banking funds, while changes in interbank
balances represent merely the shifting of excess reserves among the
member banks. During 1934 there was considerable shifting of this
nature, and an analysis of bank statements by classes of banks and
by regions indicates the manner in which funds were distributed
throughout the country during the year and also the extent to which
the different groups invested their available funds or held them in
idle balances.
The following table shows changes during 1934 in loans and investments and certain other balance sheet items by classes of banks.
The extent to which available funds were put to active use or permitted to remain in inactive balances varied among the different



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

23

groups of banks. It would appear that country banks showed a
relatively larger increase in deposits of local customers than did city
banks, but that country banks invested a smaller portion of their
additional funds and carried a larger portion in idle balances than did
city banks.

Country banks, which showed an increase of over $1,500,000,000
in deposits of locabcustomers and a decrease of $200,000,000 in loans,
increased their investments by about $900,000,000. Their balances
with other banks and cash holdings and reserves showed a total
increase of over $820,000,000, of which about $80,000,000 represented
an increase in required reserves. These banks had an increase in
available unused balances of about $740,000,000 in the course of 1934,
as compared with an increase of approximately $900,000,000 in
investments.
Reserve city banks, other than central reserve city banks in New
York, showed increases of over $1,800,000,000 in adjusted customers'
deposits and of nearly $800,000,000 in balances due to other banks
and a decrease of about $300,000,000 in loans. They increased their
investments b j over $1,750,000,000, while their balances due from
other banks, cash holdings, and excess reserves with Federal Reserve
banks showed a total increase of over $900,000,000. The ratio of funds
invested to those held in idle balances was considerably larger than
in the case of country banks. It should be noted, furthermore, that
these banks were holding a larger amount of balances for other banks,
which are subject to immediate call and therefore are ordinarily kept in

readily available form. When allowance is made for this factor the
balance of idle funds available to these banks increased by little more
than $100,000,000 in the year.
Member banks in New York City showed increases of about
$700,000,000 in adjusted deposits, $600,000,000 in bankers' balances,
and $350,000,000 in Government deposits, while their loans declined
by nearly $300,000,000. They increased their investments by
$1,060,000,000 and their cash and excess reserves by $550,000,000.
The increase in balances due to banks exceeded the increase in idle
funds at New York City banks. The growth in bankers' balances
in New York would indicate that in the course of the year New
York City banks in effect received a large part of the excess reserves
of other banks.
Analyzing similar figures by districts it appears that banks in the
New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and San Francisco districts placed a
larger portion of their available funds in investments and a smaller
portion in idle balances than did banks in other districts, while banks
in the Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Dallas districts accumulated relatively larger idle balances. In the majority of districts
country banks showed more of a tendency to accumulate reserves
and balances with other banks, while city banks invested a relatively
larger portion of the increase in deposits of their customers.
It would appear that the incidence of Treasury borrowing and
expenditures during 1934, together with agricultural and industrial
developments, was instrumental in distributing funds throughout
the country. Country banks received an increase in deposits, but
did not increase their purchases of Government securities by the
same amount. Instead they built up balances with banks in the
larger cities. These country-bank deposits received through the
clearing system were added to the credit of the city banks at the
Reserve banks. Most of the increase in excess reserves during 1934,
therefore, although carried by city banks, was represented by balances
held by these banks for their country correspondents and was at the
disposal of and subject to call by country banks.
PROGRESS OF BANKING RECONSTRUCTION

During the year 1934 banking facilities available to the public
increased considerably. About 19,000 banking offices of unrestricted
institutions, including mutual savings and private banks, were in
operation at the end of the year, of which 3,000 were branches. This
represented an increase of 1,000 head offices and about 200 branches
during the year.
Active membership in the Federal Reserve System increased by 431
banks to 6,442 by the end of the year. The increase was accounted
for in part by licensing of restricted banks, in part by organization of



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

25

new banks, and in part by admission to membership of nonmember
State banks. Deposits in member banks as of December 31, 1934,
amounted to $33,850,000,000, which was about 86 percent of the
deposits in all commercial banks, exclusive of mutual savings banks,
and about 69 percent of the deposits in all banks, inclusive of mutual
savings banks.
Bank suspensions in 1934.—Bank suspensions in 1934 were fewer
than, in any year since 1920. The suspensions during the year comprised 57 licensed banks with deposits of $36,937,000/ one of which,
with deposits at time of suspension of $40,000, was a member of the
Federal Reserve System. There were eight other suspensions among
banks participating in Federal deposit insurance.
Unlicensed banks.—By the end of 1934 the number of unlicensed
banks had been reduced to relatively unimportant proportions. After
the bank holiday in March 1933 more than 4,500 banks with deposits
of about $4,200,000,000 were reported as not licensed to conduct an
unrestricted business. By the beginning of 1934 these had been
reduced to about 1,800 banks with deposits of approximately
$1,000,000,000, and by the end of the year only about 160 banks
with deposits of approximately $90,000,000 were reported as remaining unlicensed, after deducting 927r banks placed in liquidation or
receivership during the year. Most of the remaining unlicensed banks
were not members of the Federal Reserve System, as is shown by the

Disposition of unlicensed banks.—During the 22 months following
the banking crisis the number of unlicensed banks was reduced in a
variety of ways. Many, after receiving new capital, were reopened,
while others were merged with active institutions. In some cases
the best assets and a proportionate amount of deposits were drawn
into newly chartered institutions and the old banks were placed in
liquidation. Many were placed directly in liquidation.
An accounting for all of the 4,500 banks which were unlicensed in
March 1933 is not yet possible. The Comptroller of the Currency,
however, has made public figures with respect to the disposition of

the 1,417 1 national banks which had not been licensed to operate on
an unrestricted basis after the banking holiday of March 1933. By
December 31, 1934, 1,088 unlicensed national banks had been reorganized under old or new charters or merged with other national
banks; 30 had given up their national charters; 294 had been disapproved for reorganization and placed in receivership; and 5 remained
unlicensed.
Loans to closed banks.—Since its organization in February 1932,
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has been active in releasing
funds to depositors of closed banks by making loans to conservators
and receivers. Authorizations of loans of this character aggregated
$1,045,000,000 from February 2, 1932 to December 31, 1934, and of
this three-fourths had actually been disbursed. As repayments of
$318,000,000 had been received, a balance of $444,000,000 of such
loans was outstanding at the end of 1934.
New capital for banks.—Many unlicensed banks were able to reopen
during 1934 and many active banks were strengthened by the addition
of capital funds, a large part of which was furnished by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. During the year the program for
strengthening the capital structure of the banking system initiated
in the summer of 1933 was pressed through the joint efforts of Federal
and State agencies. The program was furthered by the Comptroller
of the Currency in the case of national banks, by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation in the case of nonmember banks whose
deposits were insured by the Corporation, and by the Federal Reserve
Board and the Federal Reserve banks in the case of State member
banks. When the program was initiated in 1933, the Federal Reserve
Board requested the Federal Reserve agents to keep in touch with
such banks in their respective districts as might require assistance,
and during the year 1934 Federal Reserve officials continued to
cooperate with the various supervisory authorities in developing and
consummating plans for strengthening the capital of member banks.
On December 31, 1934, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
had an aggregate investment of $845,960,000 in the capital structure
of banks and had lent in addition $19,124,000 to local interests in
order to enable them to make purchases of preferred stock. The
investments included $585,858,000 in preferred stock and $260,102,000 in capital notes and debentures. In addition, the Corporation had authorized, contingent upon the performance of certain conditions, investments of $209,076,000 more in the capital structure of
banks. Altogether 6,900 banking institutions had had their capital
structures strengthened by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

Comptroller of the Currency.




ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

The largest part of the investments of the Corporation in the capital
structure of banks was made after the beginning of 1934, at which
time the total investments did not exceed $250,000,000.
Condition reports of member banks as of December 31, 1934,
indicated that the capital structure of member banks included
$553,574,000 of preferred stock and $118,515,000 of capital notes and
debentures, an aggregate of $672,089,000. Most of this was held by
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
Federal deposit insurance.—An important contribution to stability
in the banking structure during the year was the insurance of bank
deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. On January
1, 1934, the Corporation began the administration of a temporary
fund, which insured the deposits of all participating banks up to
$2,500 on the net approved claim of each depositor. All licensed
banks belonging to the Federal Reserve System were required to
become members of the insurance fund, and State banks which were
not members of the Federal Reserve System were permitted to participate after examination and after certification of State authorities
that they were in solvent condition.
Under the Banking Act of 1933, it was provided that the temporary
fund should be effective from January 1, 1934* through June 30, 1934,
after which the permanent plan, which would cover a larger percentage of deposits, would become effective. By the act of June 16, 1934,
the temporary plan was extended to operate from July 1, 1934,
through June 30, 1935, but provision was made to insure each depositor
during this period up to $5,000. Mutual savings banks which continued membership were given the option of covering their deposits
up to $2,500 or up to $5,000. A number of mutual savings banks
discontinued participation in the fund on July 1, 1934, in part because
of the establishment of a State fund for mutual savings banks in
New York.
When operations began on January 1, 1934, 12,617 banks were
members of the fund and this number increased to 14,205 banks by the
end of the year. Of these, 5,462 were national banks; 980 State banks
which were members of the Federal Reserve System; 68 mutual savings
banks; and 7,695 other banks. It was reported that on October 1,
1934, 44 percent of the total deposit liability of insured banks was
protected. This ratio varied considerably for the different classes of
banks, being as high as 72 percent for commercial banks not members
of the Federal Reserve System, due to the fact that these banks as a
group have a preponderance of small accounts. Among State bank
members of the Federal Reserve System, 33 percent of deposits was
covered by insurance.
Computations made as of October 1,1934, indicated that 98 percent of the 51,245,000 depositors in insured banks were fully pro

tected under the provisions of the law. The remaining depositors who
were only partially insured, however, had 823,000 accounts with total
deposits of about $25,000,000,000, about two-thirds of all deposits of
all banks participating in the insurance fund. An important proportion of these large accounts was in New York State and in many cases
probably represented deposits of correspondent banks and other
corporations. Because of the concentration of so many of the large
accounts in New York, the percentage of insured deposits was considerably smaller for that State than for the country as a whole.
Among New York State commercial banks 24 percent of the deposits
were insured, as compared with 44 percent for the country as a whole,
including New York.

In 1934 output of industrial products, including both* manufactures
and minerals, was at 79 percent of the 1923-25 average as compared
with 76 in the preceding year and with the low point of 64 in 1932.
At the same time crop production, which had been relatively well
maintained throughout the depression, showed a marked reduction
as a consequence of a prolonged drought and of acreage reductions in
connection with the program of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. Owing to higher prices received by farmers, increased
marketings of livestock, and larger rental and benefit payments by
the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, however, total farm
income was larger in 1934 than in 1933. Construction work on public
projects showed a considerable increase. Profits of industrial corporations, which had recovered considerably in 1933, made further advances in 1934, and were higher than in any year since 1930. Publicutility profits, however, were smaller in 1934 than in the previous year,
and the deficit of railroads increased. Value of department-store sales



29

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

in 1934 was 75 percent of the 1923-25 average as compared with 67 in
1933, and other branches of retail trade also increased, particularly
in rural areas.
Production, employment, and trade.—The increase in industrial
output in 1934 reflected chiefly larger output of manufactures, but
there were fairly marked increases in the production of such minerals
as zinc, lead, and silver, and a moderate increase in the output of coal.

"Durable" includes pig iron, steel, automobiles, lumber, vessels, locomotives, nonferrous metals, cement,
polished plate glass, and coke. "Nondurable" includes textiles, leather and products, foods, tobacco
products, paper and printing, petroleum refining, and automobile tires and tubes.

The chart shows fluctuations since 1928 in output of durable and
nondurable manufactures, as indicated by the components of the
Board's index.
Among the industries producing durable manufactures the most
marked increase during 1934 was in the automobile industry, where
output was 43 percent larger than that of 1933 and double that of
1932. Activity in the steel industry also showed a further increase,



30

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

while lumber production continued at an unusually low level, reflecting in considerable part continued inactivity in residential building.
In the group of industries producing nondurable manufactures,
output showed little change in the aggregate but continued at a
higher level relative to the 1923-25 average than output of durable
products. Activity at meat-packing establishments showed a marked
increase, while textile-mill activity was generally at a lower level than
in 1933. Output of tobacco products showed a considerable growth,
and there were increases also in the leather and tire industries.
Fluctuations in industrial output were considerable in 1934,
although not so large as in 1933. A growth in activity in the early
part of the year was followed by a decline during the summer, and
output during the autumn months was at about the same level as a
year earlier. The increase in industrial output to 86 percent of the
1923-25 average in May reflected chiefly increased output of automobiles and steel. During the second quarter stocks of steel were
accumulated in anticipation of price increases announced for thirdquarter deliveries, and in consequence steel production showed a
sharp decline in July. Textile output was also at a low level during
the summer months and was further reduced in September by a
strike. Subsequently output in the textile industry increased somewhat. Activity in the meat-packing industry, which had increased
sharply, accompanying large marketings of cattle on account of
drought conditions, declined in the autumn. In December, with a
sharp increase in automobile production, expansion in activity at
steel mills, and a growth in activity at woolen and silk mills, industrial
output increased, contrary to seasonal tendency, and the Board's
adjusted index advanced to 86 percent of the 1923-25 average as
compared with 75 percent in November and with a low point for the
year of 71 in September.
By the beginning of 1934 a substantial volume of contracts for
Public Works Administration projects had been awarded, and actual
expenditures on such projects showed a rapid rise during the spring
and summer months. Subsequently there was a decline, reflecting
the completion of many projects, particularly on highways. The
value of contracts awarded for privately financed projects was at
about the same low level in 1934 as in each of the 2 preceding years.
The record on contracts awarded in the past 3 years is shown below
by 6-month periods.

Factory employment and pay rolls in 1934 were at higher levels
than in 1933, and at the end of the year factory employment, as well
as factory output, was in about the same volume as at the end of 1930.
In nonmanufacturing industries employment in December was at
about the same level as at the end of 1933.
In 1933 employment and pay rolls increased considerably more
than production in comparable manufacturing industries, reflecting
in large part the spreading of work and the increasing of wage rates
under the industrial codes. In 1934 production, employment, and
pay rolls all fluctuated closely together.
In 1934 distribution of commodities showed an increase and was
generally maintained with less marked fluctuations than were reported
for industrial output. Value of commodities distributed through
department stores was 12 percent larger than in 1933 for the country
as a whole, with the most marked increases reported in the Atlanta,
Dallas, Richmond, and Chicago districts, while the smallest increases
were in the Boston and New York districts. Distribution of commodities through chain stores also showed an increase, and there was
considerable growth in sales reported by general-merchandise stores
in rural areas. Total volume of freight-car loadings increased somewhat, reflecting a growth in the volume of rail shipments of all classes
of freight except grain products and merchandise in less-than-carload
lots.
Commodity prices.—During 1934 wholesale commodity prices
continued to advance, reflecting increases in prices of farm products
and foods, while other commodities as a group showed little change.
The record for the past 7 years, according to the index of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, is shown on the accompanying chart.
The principal increase during 1934 in the price of farm products
came during the summer months. At that time drought conditions
prevailed over wide areas, reducing the yields of grain crops to exceptionally low levels. Prices of grains and dairy products advanced
sharply. The immediate effect of the drought on the livestock
situation, however, was to increase the volume of cattle and sheep



32

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

marketed, which tended to reduce prices of livestock and meats.
Government purchases of cattle and sheep during this period were a
factor in maintaining existing levels of prices. While marketings of
cattle and sheep showed a large increase during the summer months,
marketings of hogs declined, partly as a result of seasonal factors and
partly on account of small supplies available on the farms. At the
same time cotton prices advanced as it became evident that the crop
would be reduced to about 10,000,000 bales, largely as a consequence
of smaller acreage but also in part on account of the drought in Texas,
Oklahoma, and western Arkansas.
In September and October prices of most leading agricultural
products declined somewhat. Toward the end of the year livestock

prices showed marked increases, and prices of cattle continued to
increase rapidly after the turn of the year, reflecting reduced supplies
as a secondary effect of the drought. In December prices of corn
and hogs were about double those of a year earlier, and prices of
wheat, cotton, and steers were from 25 to 50 percent higher; potato
prices, on the other hand, were lower by about one-half.
The small price changes during 1934 for the group of commodities
other than farm products and foods reflected declines in the prices of
textiles and hides and leather, offset by increases in the prices of bituminous coal, metals and metal products, chemicals, and miscellaneous
products, particularly rubber and tires. Building-material prices,
after advancing somewhat during the first half of the year, declined
by about the same amount in the second half.



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Retail prices of food, as measured by the index of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, advanced from 105 percent of the 1913 average at
the beginning of the year to 117 percent early in September and
subsequently declined to 114 percent. The increase for the year was
general, with the most marked advance reported for meats. Prices
of articles sold mainly at department stores and mail-order houses
apparently showed little change. House rents, which had declined
for 9 years, advanced in some communities, reflecting increased occupancy accompanying moderate increases in incomes.
INDUSTRIAL ADVANCES BY FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

By an act of Congress approved on June 19,1934, the Federal Reserve
banks and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation were authorized,
within prescribed limitations, to make credit available for the purpose
of supplying working capital to established industrial and commercial
businesses. This act amended the Federal Reserve Act by the addition of section 13b, which embodies the provisions relating to the
Federal Reserve banks. Regulation S, relating to the provisions of
this section, was issued by the Board on June 26, 1934.
This legislation was advocated because many small enterprises had
suffered severe capital losses during the depression and had inadequate
working capital. Such enterprises find it difficult to obtain their
requirements of working capital through the capital market, while
commercial banks and other financial institutions, in many cases,
were hesitant about undertaking on their single responsibility the
risks involved in making relatively long-time loans for workingcapital purposes.
Recognizing the possible need of these industrial and commercial
businesses for additional working capital to enable them to continue
or resume normal operations and to maintain employment or provide
additional employment, Congress granted the Federal Reserve banks
broad powers to enable them to provide such working capital, either
through the medium of banks, trust companies, and other financing
institutions or, in exceptional circumstances, by advances directly to
such commercial and industrial businesses.
The conditions imposed by the law are such that loans must be
made to established industrial or commercial businesses, must be
made for the purpose of supplying working capital, and must have
maturities not exceeding 5 years. In addition, direct loans by the
Federal Reserve banks may be made in exceptional circumstances,
when credit is not obtainable on a reasonable basis from the usual
sources, and provided the loan can be made on a reasonable and sound
basis.
When credit is advanced through the medium of banks or other
financing institutions, the procedure is ordinarily for the financing



34

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

institution to make the loan and procure from the Federal Reserve
bank a commitment binding the Federal Reserve bank to take over
the loan at the option of the financing institution. Such commitments
are specifically authorized in the act. Before the Federal Reserve
bank can grant such a commitment it must satisfy itself that the loan
is properly made and is one that it is authorized by the act to acquire.
The Federal Reserve bank, therefore, must make the same credit
investigation of a loan by a financing institution for which it is to
grant a commitment as of a loan which it is to make direct. This is
especially necessary because, under the law, when such a loan is discounted for a financing institution by the Reserve bank the financing
institution need retain obligation for no more than 20 percent of any
loss thereon.
The law provided for the appointment of an industrial advisory committee in each district, consisting of members actively engaged in
industrial pursuits. Members of these advisory committees had been
selected by the thiid week in July, and the consideration of applications by the committees and by the Reserve banks began immediately.
On August 1 the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis made the first
industrial advance. The Reserve banks received many inquiries and
informal applications for industrial advances immediately following
the passage of the act, and for the first few weeks the industrial advisory committees were not able to act on applications as rapidly as thej'
were received. By the first part of September, however, this situation
was changed, and by December the number of applications received
was much smaller and these were being acted upon without material
delay.
In the period of approximately 6 months which elapsed between the
approval of the act and the close of the year about 5,100 applications
for a total of $190,000,000 had been received. Of these 1,020 in the
amount of $52,000,000 had been approved and 661, amounting to
$41,000,000, were under consideration at the end of the year. Most
of the other loans applied for were either ineligible under the conditions imposed by the act or were without a satisfactory credit basis.
The applications approved included about $14,000,000 approved on
conditions which as of the end of this year had not been met by the
applicant; and disbursement on these, therefore, had not been made.
On January 2, 1935, the Federal Reserve banks held about $14,000,000
of industrial loans and were under commitment for about $10,000,000.
The accompanying table shows industrial-loan activity through January 2, 1935.

Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve

through frequent circularization. At the same time the Board and

the Federal Reserve banks have given careful and repeated consideration to the procedure for handling applications. Every complaint
received from rejected applicants has been carefully investigated
and the reasons for rejection explained to the applicant. In order to
improve procedure and coordinate policies under this law there have
been frequent meetings of Board members, Reserve bank officials,
and members of the industrial advisory committees. The efforts
of the Federal Reserve banks and the Federal Reserve Board to make
known the provisions of section 13b and the examination of applications have entailed considerable work and expense to the Federal Reserve banks. The servicing of the loans is expensive; the security
for loans includes mortgages upon property, assignment of accounts
receivable, contracts, etc., and care must be taken that taxes and
premiums are paid, that contracts are fulfilled, and in general that no
impairment of the security occurs.
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

With a view to preventing the excessive use of credit for the
purchasing or carrying of securities, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, which became law on June 6, requires the Federal Reserve
Board from time to time to prescribe rules and regulations with respect
to the amount of credit that may be extended and maintained on any
security registered on a national securities exchange. Certain securities are exempted by the act from these provisions. For the initial
extension of credit such rules and regulations must be based upon a
certain standard set forth in the act, but the Board is authorized to



36

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

prescribe such requirements lower than the standard as it " deems
necessary or appropriate for the accommodation of commerce and
industry, having due regard to the credit situation of the country",
and such higher requirements as it may "deem necessary or appropriate to prevent the excessive use of credit to finance transactions in
securities."
The act makes it unlawful for any member of a national securities
exchange, or any broker or dealer who transacts a business in securities
through the medium of any such member, to extend or maintain
credit to or for any customer (1) on any registered security (other
than an exempted security) in contravention of the Board's rules and
regulations, or (2) without collateral or on collateral other than registered securities and/or exempted securities, except in accordance with
such rules and regulations as the Board may prescribe to permit the
extension or maintenance of such credit in certain cases.
In accordance with the act the Board issued on September 27
a regulation (Regulation T) effective October 1 dealing with the
extension and maintenance of credit by brokers, dealers, and members
of national securities exchanges. The regulation placed no restrictions on the amount of or collateral for loans for industrial, commercial,
or agricultural purposes. In prescribing the margin requirements
specified in this regulation the Board adopted the basis stated in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and provided that, with certain
exceptions, a member of a national securities exchange, or a broker
or dealer subject to the regulation, shall not make any initial extension of credit to any customer on any registered security (other than
an exempted security) for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
security, in an amount which causes the total credit extended on such
registered security to exceed whichever is the higher of:
(1) 55 percent of the current market value of the security; or
(2) 100 percent of the lowest market value of the security
computed at the lowest market price therefor during a specified
period preceding the current month, but not more than 75 percent
of the current market value. The period specified is on3 of 36
calendar months except that until July 1, 1936, it is the period
between July 1, 1933, and the beginning of the current month.
At the level of security prices when Regulation T went into effect,
brokers could extend credit on most registered securities up to 75
percent of their current market value. In case of any substantial
increase in security prices, however, the average margin requirement
prescribed by the regulation increases automatically, since the loan
value of an increasing proportion of outstanding securities becomes
less than 75 percent of current market value.
The margin requirements stated in the law and now prescribed by
the Federal Reserve Board are designed to exert a restraining influence



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

37

on speculative trading. By imposing higher margin requirements on
securities that have had a rapid rise than on more stable securities,
the prescribed requirements make credit less freely available for
trading in speculative securities.
Regulation T does not prescribe a specific margin that must be
maintained after a loan has been granted, but imposes restrictions on
the operations which the customer may be permitted to carry on in
his account if his margin falls below the standard prescribed for
initial extension of credit. Thus the amount of credit maintained in
an account is not required by the regulation to be reduced as a consequence of a decline in the market value of the securities held, but
additional extensions of credit are not permitted unless sufficient
additional margin is supplied for the new extension itself.
The regulation provided means by which accounts in existence on
October 1, 1934, might be recorded separately by the creditor at any
time prior to November 15, 1934, and thereafter be maintained
separately until liquidated, but not later than July 1, 1937. In order
to prevent circumvention of the margin rules, however, transactions
in such accounts are subject to restriction.
Under section 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 brokers and
dealers subject to the act may not borrow on registered securities
(other than exempted securities) from lenders other than member
banks except under certain conditions. Nonmember banks must sign
an agreement in the form specified in Regulation T before brokers and
dealers who are subject to the regulation may borrow from them, and
by December 31, 1934, 121 nonmember banks had signed this agreement. Members of registered securities exchanges and other brokers
and dealers subject to the regulation are also permitted to borrow
from and lend to one another under specified conditions.
Rules are also included in Regulation T regarding cash transactions,
reports by brokers, and such administrative details as the borrowing and lending of securities, the debiting of interest, commissions,
etc., the handling of guaranteed accounts, the transfer of accounts,
temporary credit for clearance of securities, and adjustments for
innocent mistakes.
In preparation for the adoption of margin requirements the Board
made a survey of the condition of margin accounts held with brokers
in the summer of 1934. At the request of the Federal Reserve
Board the New York, Chicago, and San Francisco Stock Exchanges
obtained certain reports from their members as of July 31, 1934.
Reports were secured covering approximately 213,000 accounts and
over two-thirds of all customers' borrowings. They showed that a
large number of accounts contained substantial amounts of excess
margin, as judged either by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or by the standard used in Regulation T. In 85 percent of



38

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

the accounts reported, customers were not borrowing more than
66% percent of the value of the securities in the account. The value
of the securities held in all the accounts was nearly twice as large
as the amount borrowed on the securities, that is to say, total borrowings were equal to approximately 50 percent of the total value of the
securities carried.
The reports showed the amount of each individual security held in
customers7 accounts with debit balances and in partners' and firms'
accounts. These data covered in all some 20,000 different issues with
total market value estimated at about $2,600,000,000. Detailed
analysis was made of figures representing about 80 percent of the total
estimated value of all securities held by brokers for their customers.
This analysis indicated that on the basis of market values as of
July 31, 1934, over two-thirds of the securities so held, exclusive of
unlisted securities, could have been carried under the provisions of
Regulation T with a maximum loan of 75 percent of market value,
about one-fourth permitted loans of percentages varying from 55 to
75 percent of market value and averaging 67.6 percent, and the
remainder, or about one-twelfth, had a maximum loan value of 55
percent of market value. The average maximum loan value on all
these securities was slightly under 72 percent. This compared with
a maximum percentage permitted by the New York Stock Exchange
of about 77 percent for large accounts and 66% percent for small
accounts, averaging about 75 percent for ail accounts.
When the new margin rules went into effect the securities markets
were relatively inactive, and remained so during the rest of the year.
There was accordingly no occasion, such as might be afforded by a
rapidly rising market, to test the effectiveness of the new rules in
accomplishing the purposes for which they were adopted. Between
September 1934, before Regulation T became effective, and the last
month of the year, security prices advanced somewhat. The increase
for common stocks, according to the index of the Standard Statistics
Co., amounted to about 3 percent. From the end of September to the
end of December there was little change in the total volume of
customers7 borrowings from brokers. The total borrowings of members of the New York Stock Exchange at the end of 1934, amounting
to $880,000,000, were $35,000,000 larger than at the end of 1933
but only about 10 percent of their maximum in the autumn of 1929.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 also empowers the Federal
Reserve Board, within certain limitations, to prescribe rules and
regulations, including margin requirements, for credit extended or




39

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

maintained by other persons than members of a national securities
exchange, or brokers or dealers who transact a business in securities
through the medium of such members, for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any security registered on a national securities exchange.
These other persons include all banks in the United States except
such banks as are subject to Regulation T by reason of their holding
membership in a national securities exchange. This authority is
additional to that conferred by other statutes for credit supervision.
The Board is studying the subject and in due time will issue the
required regulation as to bank loans made to purchase or carry
securities registered on a national securities exchange.

EARNINGS AND EXPENSES OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

Gross earnings of the Federal Reserve banks in 1934 amounted to
$48,903,000, or $584,000 less than in 1933. After deducting current
expenses of $29,242,000, reserves for depreciation on bank premises,
and reserves for losses, self-insurance, etc., there remained net earnings of $15,231,000, or $7,274,000 more than the amount of net
earnings for 1933. Earnings, expenses, dividend payments, etc.,
for all Federal Reserve banks combined for 1934 and 1933 are shown

ANNUAL REPOKT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Current expenses of the Federal Reserve banks in 1934 were
$29,241,000, or $18,000 more than in 1933.
Salary payments during 1934, including contributions to the retirement system of the Federal Reserve banks established on March 1,
1934, were $1,551,000 in excess of salary payments in 1933. Other
items of expenditure that show a substantial increase over 1933 are
the assessments for expenses of the Federal Reserve Board-, which
increased $572,000, and taxes on banking houses, which- increased
$110,000. Owing largely to the falling off in the demand for currency
in 1934 as compared with 1933, when there was an abnormal demand
for currency preceding the banking holiday, expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks for the printing and redemption of Federal Reserve
currency declined $1,359,000 and insurance on currency shipments by
$68,000. Other substantial reductions in expenses were $120,000 in
taxes on Federal Reserve bank notes, $219,000 in telephone and telegraph charges, $240,000 in postage and expressage, $71,000 in printing, and $148,000 in insurance other than on currency shipments.
The average number of officers and employees, exclusive of those
assigned to Reconstruction Finance Corporation work, was 10,376 in
1934 compared with 10,015 in 1933. During the year the Federal
Reserve banks had an average of 1,351 officers and employees engaged
on work of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation compared with
1,114 in 1933.
The volume of work handled in the principal operating departments
of the banks for which a measurement is available, during each of the
last 4 years, was as follows:

As indicated by the foregoing table, there has been a substantial
increase during the past 2 years, and particularly in 1934, in the
volume of United States Government obligations issued, redeemed,
and exchanged and of United States Government coupons paid by
the Federal Reserve banks. There has also been a corresponding
increase in other fiscal agency and custodianship services rendered
to the United States Government by the Federal Reserve banks,
including services performed for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Farm Credit Administration, the Home Owners' Loan
Corporation, and other Government agencies.
The Banking Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
imposed additional duties and responsibilities upon the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks and added appreciably
to their cost of operation. The act of June 19, 1934, adding section
13b to the Federal Reserve Act under which the Federal Reserve
banks are authorized to make industrial advances for working capital purposes, with a maturity of not exceeding 5 years, has also
resulted in a substantial increase in the volume of work performed
by the Federal Reserve banks and in their expenses.
BUILDING OPERATIONS OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS AND THE FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD

Construction of additions to the buildings occupied by the Federal
Reserve Banks of New York and Philadelphia was in progress at the
end of 1934. All Federal Reserve banks and their branches are now
housed in buildings owned by the banks except the branches at
Cincinnati, Charlotte, Portland, Seattle, and Spokane. The Federal
Reserve Board now occupies rented quarters in two buildings in the
city of Washington.



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

43

The act of June 19, 1934, authorized the Federal Reserve Board to
acquire a building site in the District of Columbia and to construct
a building suitable and adequate in its judgment for its purposes.
A careful survey of possible locations for the new building was made,
which resulted in the selection of a site on the north side of Constitution Avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first Streets NW.
The site was approved by the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and by the Secretary of the Interior who recommended
it to the President, and the President gave his approval on July 13,
1934. Title was transferred to the Board by the Secretary of the
Treasury on January 22, 1935, the purchase price being $754,583.
Following the approval of the site, the Board engaged Mr. Everett
V. Meeks, dean of the School of the Fine Arts in Yale University, to
prepare a program for a competition for the selection of an architect
for the building. The program, after having been approved by the
Fine Arts Commission, the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and the American Institute of Architects, was issued
on February 1, 1935. During the formulation of the program for the
competition, a thorough study of the Board's needs in the new building
was made by Mr. E. F. Abell, consulting engineer. The Board also
had the benefit of the advice and assistance of the National Park
Service of the Department of the Interior.
After consulting with the chairman of the Fine Arts Commission,
invitations to participate in the competition were sent to Arthur
Brown,. Jr., San Francisco, Calif.; Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch &
Abbott, Boston, Mass.; Paul Philippe Cret, Philadelphia, Pa.; Delano
& Aldrich, New York City; Holabird & Root, Chicago, 111.; John
Russell Pope, New York City; James Gamble Rogers, New York
City; Egerton Swartwout, New York City; and York & Sawyer, New
York City.
The jury selected by the Board to pass upon the designs submitted
by the competing architects is composed of Messrs. John W. Cross,
New York City; William Emerson, Boston, Mass.; and John Mead
Howells, New York City, architects; Mr. Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and
Mr. Adolph C. Miller, member of the Federal Reserve Board and
chairman of the site and building committees appointed by the
Board.
BRANCHES AND AGENCIES OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

The 25 branches and 2 agencies of the Federal Reserve banks which
were in operation at the end of 1933 continued to function throughout
the year 1934. The following table shows a comparison of the volume

amounted to $5,917,000, compared with $5,834,000 during 1933.
FEDERAL RESERVE INTERDISTRICT COLLECTION SYSTEM

At the end of 1934 there were 12,915 banks (licensed and unlicensed) on the Federal Reserve par list, comprising all member banks
(6,451) and 6,464 nonmember banks that pay, without deduction of
exchange charges, such checks drawn upon them as are presented or
forwarded for payment by the Federal Reserve banks. During the
year the number of nonmember banks on the par list decreased by
690, largely as a result of the reduction in the number of banks in
operation, and the number not on the par list decreased by 52. Of
the 2,643 banks not on the par list at the end of 1934, 1,438 were
located in the 11 Southern States and 1,083 in the West North Central
States and the adjoining State of Wisconsin. As will be seen from the
following table, all of the banks in the Boston, New York, and
Philadelphia districts and all but one in the Cleveland district were
on the Federal Reserve par list.

CHANGES IN MEMBERSHIP

During the year 1934 the number of licensed member banks
increased from 6,011 to 6,442, a net increase of 431. This increase
was due largely to the opening of 406 new national banks, resulting
mainly from the reorganization of unlicensed member banks, and the
admission of 125 State banks to membership in the Federal Reserve
System. The increases were partly offset by the merger, absorption,
consolidation, and liquidation of 169 licensed member banks. The
6,442 licensed member banks on December 31, 1934, included 5,462
national banks and 980 State member banks. Changes in the
number of licensed member banks during 1934 are summarized in
the following table:

AMENDMENTS TO THE LAW RELATING
SYSTEM

TO THE FEDERAL

RESERVE

During the year 1934 a number of acts were passed by Congress
containing provisions of importance amending the Federal Reserve
Act or by their terms affecting the Federal Reserve System. These
provisions are summarized below.




46

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
ACT OF JANUARY 30, 1934

Transfer of gold of Federal Reserve banks to the United States.—

The Gold Keserve Act of 1934, enacted January 30, 1934, vested in
the United States all right, title, and interest and every claim of the
Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve banks, and the Federal
Reserve agents to all gold coin and bullion, and in payment therefor
established credits in the Treasury in equivalent amounts in dollars,
these credits being payable in gold certificates. Gold in the possession
of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve banks, and Federal Reserve agents was required to be held in custody for the United
States and delivered upon order of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Amendments relating to Federal Reserve notes.—Section 16 of the
Federal Reserve Act was amended by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934
so as to make Federal Reserve notes redeemable only in lawful money;
to eliminate the authority for the use of gold (but not gold certificates)
as collateral for Federal Reserve notes; to require that reserves against
Federal Reserve notes be maintained in gold certificates instead of in
gold and that reserves against deposits of Federal Reserve banks be
maintained in gold certificates or lawful money instead of in gold
or lawful money; to require the redemption fund of each Federal
Reserve bank maintained on deposit at the Treasury of the United
States to be in gold certificates instead of in gold; to make deposits
of Federal Reserve banks and Federal Reserve agents with the
Treasurer of the United States repayable in gold certificates only and
not in gold coin; and to make other corresponding amendments in
other provisions of section 16.
Conditions as to acquisition or transportation of gold.—The Gold

Reserve Act also required the Secretary of the Treasury, with the
approval of the President, to prescribe conditions under which gold
may be acquired, held, and transported (a) for industrial, professional,
and artistic use, (b) by the Federal Reserve banks for the purpose of
settling international balances, and (c) for such other purposes as in
the Secretary's judgment are not inconsistent with the purposes of
the act.
Redemption of currency in gold.—The act prohibited the redemption in gold of any currency of the United States except as permitted
in regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the
approval of the President; but the act also provided that gold certificates owned by the Federal Reserve banks shall be redeemed at such
times and in such amounts as in the judgment of the Secretary are
necessary to maintain the equal purchasing power of currency of the
United States; that.the reserve for United States notes and Treasury
notes of 1890 and the security for gold certificates shall be maintained
in gold bullion equal to the dollar amounts required by law; and
that the reserve for Federal Reserve notes shall be maintained in gold



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

certificates or in credits payable in gold certificates maintained with
the Treasurer of the United States under section 16 of the Federal
Reserve Act.
Reduction in weight of the gold dollar; stabilization fund.—The
Gold Reserve Act also amended the act of May 12, 1933, which
empowered the President under certain conditions to reduce the
weight of the gold dollar by an amount not exceeding 50 percent. The
Gold Reserve Act provided that in any event the weight of the gold
dollar should not be fixed at more than 60 percent of its previous
statutory weight. It was provided that the increase in the value of
the gold held by the United States which resulted from any reduction
in the weight of the gold dollar should be covered into the Treasury
as a miscellaneous receipt. The sum of $2,000,000,000 resulting
from such increase was appropriated to be deposited with the Treasurer of the United States in a stabilization fund, under the exclusive
control of the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the
President, to be available for expenditure for the purpose of stabilizing the exchange value of the dollar and also for the purpose of
investing or reinvesting in direct obligations of the United States
any portions of the fund not currently required for stabilizing the
exchange value of the dollar. It was provided that the operation of
the stabilization fund should terminate 2 years after the date of
enactment of the act, but the President was given authority to
terminate the operation of the fund at an earlier date or, by proclamation, to extend the period for not more than 1 additional year.
Other provisions of Gold Reserve Act.—The Gold Reserve Act also
contains provisions for the forfeiture of gold withheld, acquired, or
transported in violation of law; provisions prohibiting coinage of
gold with certain exceptions; and certain other provisions of a miscellaneous character.
ACTS OF JANUARY 31, 1934, AND APRIL 27, 1934

Security for 15-day advances by Federal Reserve banks.—Section
13 of the Federal Reserve Act was amended by the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation Act approved January 31, 1934, so as to
authorize Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation bonds issued under
the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation Act to be used as security
for advances by Federal Reserve banks to their member banks for
periods not exceeding 15 days and was amended by an act approved
April 27, 1934, so as to authorize bonds issued under the provisions
of section 4 (c) of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended,
to be used as security for such advances.
Obligations eligible for purchase by Federal Reserve banks.—
Section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act was amended by the act of
January 31, 1934, above mentioned, so as to authorize Federal Re

Federal Reserve banks as fiscal agents for Home Owners' Loan
Corporation.—The act of April 27, 1934, also authorized the Federal
Reserve banks, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury,
to act as depositaries, custodians, and fiscal agents for the Home
Owners' Loan Corporation.
ACT OF MARCH 6, 1934

Direct obligations of the United States as security for Federal
Reserve notes.—By the act of March 6, 1934, the authority of the
Federal Reserve Board, when it deems it in the public interest, to
permit the use of direct obligations of the United States as collateral
security for Federal Reserve notes, which would otherwise have expired on March 3, 1934, was extended until March 3, 1935, or until
the expiration of such additional period not exceeding 2 years as the
President may prescribe.
ACT OF MAY 18, 1934

Robbery of member bank.—This act provided a penalty of fine or
imprisonment, or both, for taking, by force and violence or by putting
in fear, the property of a member bank or any bank organized under
the laws of the United States and provided more severe penalties for
assaults in connection with such an offense. It also provided that
whoever, in committing such an offense or in endeavoring to escape
from arrest for such an offense, kills any person or forces any person to
accompany him unwillingly, shall be punished by imprisonment for
not less than 10 years or by death if the jury so direct.
ACT OF JUNE 27, 1934

Applicability of restrictions on real-estate loans to loans under the
Housing Act.—The act of June 27, 1934, the National Housing Act,
amended section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act so as to provide that
a loan made by a national bank which is secured by real estate and
insured under the provisions of title II of the National Housing Act
shall not be subject to the restriction of that section as to the amount
of the loan in relation to the actual value of the real estate or to the
limitation of 5 years upon the term of a real-estate loan. It also
provided that loans made to finance the construction of residential



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

49

or farm buildings with maturities of not more than 6 months, whether
or not secured by lien on real estate, are not to be considered loans
secured by real estate within the meaning of section 24 of the Federal
Reserve Act but that no national bank may invest in or be liable on
any such loans in excess of 50 percent of its paid-in and unimpaired
capital.
Eligibility for rediscount of construction loans.—Notes representing
loans made to finance the construction of residential or farm buildings
were made eligible by the act of June 27, 1934, for rediscount at
Federal Reserve banks for member banks within the terms of the
applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve Act relating to rediscounts, if accompanied by a valid and binding agreement to advance
the full amount of the loan upon the completion of the building
entered into by a person acceptable to the discounting Federal Reserve
bank.
Moneys of Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.—
The act provided for the deposit with Federal Reserve banks in certain
instances of moneys of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation not required for current operations.
ACT OF JUNE 6, 1934

Securities Exchange Act of 1934.—This act, enacted June 6, 1934,
in addition to its other provisions for the regulation of national
securities exchanges, placed certain regulatory powers in the Federal
Reserve Board. Section 7 directed the Federal Reserve Board, for
the purpose of preventing the excessive use of credit for the purchase
or carrying of securities, to regulate the amount of credit that may be
extended or maintained by brokers, dealers, and members of national
securities exchanges, on any security (other than an " exempted security ") registered on a national securities exchange. Members, brokers,
and dealers are forbidden by the law to extend or maintain credit without collateral or on collateral other than registered or exempted securities except in accordance with the rules or regulations which the
Board may prescribe to permit such extension or maintenance of credit
in certain cases; and they may not borrow on registered, nonexempted
securities in the ordinary course of business except (1) from a member
bank, (2) from a nonmember bank which has filed with the Board a
specified agreement, or (3) in accordance with such rules or regulations as the Board may prescribe to permit loans between members,
brokers, and dealers, or to meet emergencies. The agreement specified for nonmember banks from which members, brokers, or dealers
may borrow, must be an undertaking to comply with all provisions of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Federal Reserve Act, and the
Banking Act of 1933, which are applicable to member banks and
relate to the use of credit to finance transactions in securities, and with



50

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

rules or regulations prescribed pursuant to such provisions. The act
also authorized the Board to regulate the extension or maintenance of
credit by persons other than members, brokers or dealers, when such
credit is for the purpose of purchasing or carrying registered securities.
ACT OF JUNE 16, 1934

Insurance of bank deposits.—Section 12B of the Federal Reserve
Act was amended by the act of June 16, 1934, so as to extend for a
period of 1 year after June 30, 1934, the temporary plan for insurance of bank deposits and so as to increase from $2,500 to $5,000 the
amount of the deposits of any depositor in one bank which are insured
under the temporary plan (except deposits of mutual savings banks in
certain circumstances). The act also contained certain other miscellaneous amendments to section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act
with regard to the insurance of bank deposits.
Capital requirements for membership in the Federal Reserve
System.—The Federal Reserve Act was amended by this act so as to
provide that for the purposes of membership of a State bank applying
for membership in the Federal Reserve System, the terms "capital"
and "capital stock" shall include the amount of outstanding capital
notes and debentures legally issued by the applying bank and purchased by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
Stock ownership by directors of member banks.—This act also
repealed the provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 relating to stock
ownership by directors, trustees, or members of similar governing
bodies of member banks of the Federal Reserve System. The law
on this subject with respect to member banks, therefore, is now the
same as existed prior to the enactment of the Banking Act of 1933.
ACT OF JUNE 19, 1934

Industrial advances by Federal Reserve banks.—The act of June
19, 1934, added to the Federal Reserve Act a new section, known as
section 13b, under which in exceptional circumstances and pursuant
to authority granted by the Federal Reserve Board, a Federal Reserve
bank may on a reasonable and sound basis make loans to or purchase
obligations of an established industrial or commercial business which
is unable to obtain requisite financial assistance from the usual
sources, for the purpose of providing such business with working
capital, and may make commitments with respect to such loans or
purchases, subject to a limitation of 5 years upon the maturity of
any such obligation or commitment. Federal Reserve banks were
also authorized by this act to acquire such working capital obligations
of such businesses from banks or financing institutions by discount
or purchase, to make loans on the security of such obligations, and to



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

51

make commitments with respect to such discounts, purchases, or
loans. Under the law each such financing institution must obligate
itself to the Federal Reserve bank for at least 20 percent of any loss
which may be sustained upon any such obligation or, in lieu thereof,
furnish at least 20 percent of the working capital advanced to such
established industrial or commercial business.
The law established in each Federal Reserve district an industrial
advisory committee consisting of not less than 3 nor more than 5
members actively engaged in some industrial pursuit and appointed
by the Federal Reserve bank subject to the approval of the Federal
Reserve Board; and each application for a loan, advance, purchase,
discount, or commitment under authority of section 13b must be
submitted to the appropriate committee which after consideration
of the application transmits it to the Federal Reserve bank with its
recommendation.
In order to enable the Federal Reserve banks to make the industrial
advances described, the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized by
the law to pay to each Federal Reserve bank a sum equal to not in
excess of the par value of its holdings of stock in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, upon agreement by the Federal Reserve bank
to hold such stock unencumbered and to pay to the United States all
proceeds thereof. In addition, each Federal Reserve bank is required
to agree that if the proceeds of such stock in any calendar year do
not aggregate 2 percent of the total payment made to it by the Secretary, it will pay to the United States such further amount, if any,
up to 2 percent of such total payment as shall be covered by the
net earnings of the bank for the year derived from the use of the
sum so paid by the Secretary.
The aggregate amount of discounts, purchases, loans, advances,
and commitments of the Federal Reserve banks outstanding under
the authority of section 13b of the Federal Reserve Act at any one
time shall not exceed the surplus of the banks as of July 1, 1934, plus
all amounts paid to the banks by the Secretary of the Treasury as
above described.
This act also amended the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Act so as to authorize the corporation, in certain circumstances and
subject to certain limitations, to make loans to industrial or commercial businesses, either directly or in cooperation with banks or
other lending institutions or by the purchase of participations.
Liabilities of national banks.—The act of June 19, 1934, excepted
liabilities incurred under the provisions of section 13b of the Federal
Reserve Act from the limitation of section 5202 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States upon the aggregate liabilities of a
national bank, in addition to the other exceptions therein provided.



52

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Criminal provisions.—The act of June 19, 1934, also provided
criminal penalties for material false statements or overvaluation of
security in connection with the grant of credit accommodations by
Federal Reserve banks, for embezzlement or misapplication of funds
of a Federal Reserve bank or false entries or issuance of obligations
without authority by any person connected with a Federal Reserve
bank, and for giving or receiving of undisclosed fees, commissions,
bonuses, or things of value for procuring or endeavoring to procure
from a Federal Reserve bank any credit accommodation either
directly from such Federal Reserve bank or indirectly through any
financing institution. Provisions of certain sections of the Criminal
Code of the United States with reference to activities of members of
Congress and officers of the United States in connection with contracts with the Government of the United States were extended
insofar as applicable to apply to contracts or agreements with any
Federal Reserve bank.
Building for Federal Reserve Board.—The act of June 19, 1934, also
authorized the Federal Reserve Board to acquire a building, or a
site and to construct thereon a building, for the purpose of providing suitable and adequate quarters in the District of Columbia
for the performance of its functions.
ADDITIONS TO AND CHANGES IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD'S
REGULATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the Federal Reserve Board issued its Regulation T with
regard to the extension and maintenance of credit by brokers, dealers,
and members of national securities exchanges. This regulation
became effective October 1, 1934, but in order that persons affected
by it might have additional time after that date within which to
familiarize themselves with its provisions, the Securities and Exchange
Commission exempted, until midnight of October 14, 1934, from the
operation of certain provisions of the statute and regulations issued
thereunder, all securities except those as to which the Commission
had refused to grant registration.
The act of June 19, 1934, authorizing Federal Reserve banks to
grant credit accommodations for the purpose of providing working
capital for established industrial or commercial businesses provided
that all such operations of the Federal Reserve banks should be
subject to such regulations as the Federal Reserve Board might
prescribe; and accordingly, the Federal Reserve Board issued its
Regulation S with reference to this subject on June 26, 1934, and it
became effective immediately.
The Board's Regulation Q with reference to the payment of deposits
and interest thereon by member banks of the Federal Reserve System



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

53

was amended in several particulars, but the amendments, while
approved in December 1934, were adopted to become effective
February 1, 1935. The principal amendment was a reduction in
the maximum rate of interest which may be paid by member banks
on time and savings deposits from 3 percent per annum compounded
semiannually to 2% percent per annum, compounded quarterly.
EXTENSION OF THE PERIOD DURING WHICH FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS MAY MAKE ADVANCES TO MEMBER BANKS IN EXCEPTIONAL
CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 10 (b) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the act
of March 9, 1933, authorizes advances by Federal Reserve banks
in exceptional and exigent circumstances to individual member banks
which are without sufficient eligible and acceptable assets to enable
them to obtain adequate credit accommodations through other methods provided by law, but it is provided that no such advances may
be made after March 3, 1934, or after the expiration of such additional period not exceeding 1 year as the President may prescribe.
By proclamation under date of February 16, 1934, the President prescribed an additional period of 1 year after March 3, 1934, during
which advances might be made by any Federal Reserve bank under
the provisions of said section 10 (b).
CREDIT AGREEMENTS WITH FOREIGN CENTRAL BANKS

The aggregate participation of the Federal Reserve banks in the two
credits extended, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, to
the National Bank of Hungary in 1931 by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, in association with the other Federal Reserve banks and
other foreign central banks, was reduced during 1934 from $3,560,000
to $3,140,000. These two credits, which took the form of purchases
of prime commercial bills guaranteed by the National Bank of Hungary, had been consolidated in 1933 in an agreement that provided
for scheduled reductions over a period of 3 years. The demand
deposit of $10,000,000 placed by the Federal Reserve banks, upon the
approval of the Federal Reserve Board, with the Bank for International Settlements in 1931 for the purchase from time to time of bills
guaranteed by that bank, which had been reduced to $2,920,000 by
the beginning of 1934, was further reduced to $530,000 during the
year. The total of the demand deposit and of bills purchased under
the agreement, which had amounted to $4,220,000 at the beginning
of the year, was reduced to $2,530,000.
On November 2, at the time gold was being shipped from Belgium
to the United States, the Federal Reserve Board approved the extension of credits to the National Bank of Belgium by the Federal



54

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Reserve Bank of New York, in association with the other Federal
Reserve banks, for amounts up to $25,000,000 in the form of advances
secured by gold. Advances made under this agreement were entirely
liquidated by the end of November, when the shipment of gold from
Belgium to this country ceased. On November 28 the Federal
Reserve Board also approved the extension of similar credits to the
Bank for International Settlements by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, in association with the other Federal Reserve banks, for
amounts up to $50,000,000 in the form of advances secured by gold.
No utilization was made of this credit during the year.
BANK EXAMINATIONS

Under the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act State member
banks are subject to examinations made by direction of the Federal
Reserve Board or of the Federal Reserve banks by examiners selected
or approved by the Federal Reserve Board. The examinations of
State member banks made under the provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act are made by examiners for the various Federal Reserve banks,
whose appointments are approved by the Federal Reserve Board
and who work under the direction of the Federal Reserve agents.
The policy approved by the Federal Reserve Board provides that at
least one regular examination of each State member bank, including
its trust department, be made during each calendar year by examiners
for the Federal Reserve banks, either independently or jointly with
State banking authorities.
In order to avoid duplication of examinations and minimize any
inconvenience to the banks examined, most of the examinations of
State member banks made by examiners for the Federal Reserve
banks were joint examinations made in cooperation with the State
banking authorities.
. In connection with the consideration of applications of holding
company affiliates for voting permits, arrangements were completed,
wherever practicable, to have the various banks controlled by the
same holding company affiliate examined as nearly as practicable as
of the same date in order that a comprehensive picture of the entire
group might be obtained and information concerning various relationships within the group be developed. Such arrangements were
worked out in cooperation with the chief national bank examiners
in the various districts and the State banking authorities, the national
banks being examined by the national bank examiners and the State
banks by the State authorities and examiners for the Federal
Reserve banks.
During 1934 a conference was held in Washington of the Assistant
Federal Reserve agents in charge of examinations for the Federal
Reserve banks, the chief examiners and the trust examiners for the



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

55

Federal Reserve banks, and representatives of the Federal Reserve
Board. The conference was called at the request of the Federal
Reserve Board in order that those in charge of the examination work
for the Federal Reserve banks and the representatives of the Board
in Washington might consider together the questions involved in the
examination of the State member banks and that the examination
activities of the various Federal Reserve banks might be further coordinated and a more uniform procedure developed.
One of the important features of the examinations of the State
member banks during the year 1934 was the development of more
complete examinations of the trust departments. In accordance with
the procedure approved by the Federal Reserve Board in the latter
part of 1933, each of the Federal Reserve agents made arrangements
to add to his staff one or more examiners especially qualified for
the examination of trust departments. In the examinations of the
trust departments of the State member banks particular emphasis has
been laid upon policies and practices of the banks in the investment of
trust funds.
As originally enacted, section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act
provided that every member bank should take all necessary steps to
become a class A stockholder of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on or before July 1, 1934, and that, upon receipt of an application from a State member bank for such stock, the Corporation
should request the Federal Reserve Board to certify upon the basis
of a thorough examination of such bank whether or not the assets of
the bank were adequate to enable it to meet all of its liabilities to
depositors and other creditors as shown by the books of the bank. A
program of examinations of the State member banks was therefore
developed by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve
agents to serve as the basis for the required certifications to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Following the postponement to
July 1, 1935, of the effective date of the inauguration of the permanent
plan for insurance of deposits, another program of examinations for
State member banks was inaugurated in order that the required
certifications might be based on current reports of examination.
The Board's Division of Examinations conducted one examination
of each Federal Reserve bank during the year.
The head office of the only banking corporation now in operation
organized to engage in foreign and international banking business,
under the provisions of section 25 (a) of the Federal Reserve Act,
generally referred to as the Edge Act, was examined during the year.
The Board's Division of Examinations also made an examination
of a corporation principally engaged in international or foreign banking whose stock a national bank sought permission to acquire and
hold under the provisions of section 25 of the Federal Reserve Act.

TRUST POWERS OF NATIONAL BANKS

The Board in 1934 approved 70 original and 6 supplementary
applications by national banks for permission to exercise fiduciary
powers under the provisions of section 11 (k) of the Federal Reserve
Act. On December 31, 1934, 1,945 national banks were holding
permits to act in fiduciary capacities. During the year 1934, 12
national banks surrendered their rights to exercise trust powers under
the provisions of section 11 (k) of the Federal Reserve Act.
In addition to granting trust powers to member banks as stated
above, the Board also gave consideration to a considerable number of
applications for trust powers where the condition of the bank, the
character of the management, the need for fiduciary powers or other
related matters were such that the grant of unrestricted trust powers
did not appear to be warranted. The disposition of such applications
varied according to the facts and circumstances in each case. Certain
applications were denied; others were approved in restricted form to
permit the applicant bank to acquire certain accounts but not to
acquire other fiduciary business of the same character; while in
other cases action by the Board was deferred pending an examination
of the applicant bank, the strengthening of its capital structure, or
action in connection with changes or corrections in the asset condition
of the bank, its management, or other pertinent factors. In a number
of instances where applications had been originally denied or deferred
or where restricted powers only had been granted, the Board subsequently reconsidered the application, and, on the basis of a proper
showing as to matters affecting its former action, and such additional
information as may have been submitted, authorized the applicant
bank to exercise either restricted or unrestricted trust powers, as
circumstances warranted.
A list of national banks holding permits to exercise trust powers
on December 31, 1934, is printed on pages 236-255.
REDUCTIONS IN CAPITAL STOCK OF MEMBER BANKS

During the year 1934 the Board acted upon applications of 558
national banks for permission to reduce the amount of their capital
stock, and 557 of the applications were approved. The Board also
approved the applications of 16 State member banks which were
subject to a condition of membership requiring the Board's approval
of reductions in their capital stock. In practically all cases of both
national and State member banks, the reductions were in connection
with the issuance of preferred stock or capital notes or debentures,
the funds released through the reduction of common stock being
used to provide for the elimination of losses and other undesirable
assets.

ADMINISTRATION OF SECTIONS 8 AND 8A OF THE CLAYTON ANTITRUST
ACT

The Clayton Antitrust Act under certain circumstances prohibits
directors, officers, or employees of banks, banking associations, or
trust companies organized or operating under the laws of the United
States from serving other banking institutions and also prohibits
such persons from serving nonbanking organizations which make
loans secured by stock or bond collateral. The Federal Reserve
Board is authorized subject to certain conditions and limitations to
grant permits covering the relationships between banking institutions which, without such permits, would be prohibited by the act.
During the year 1934 the Board acted upon approximately 2,270
applications for such permits; and at the close of the year 263 applications were pending before the Board.
A majority of the applications submitted were made necessary by
the provisions of section 8A of the act, which was added by the
Banking Act of 1933 and became effective January 1, 1934. Under
the provisions of such section many relationships which heretofore
were not subject to the provisions of the Clayton Act because of the
small size or relative location of the banks involved became subject
to the provisions of the act.
ADMINISTRATION OF SECTION 32 OF THE BANKING ACT OF 1933

Section 32 of the Banking Act of 1933, which became effective
January 1, 1934, makes it unlawful for an officer or director of a
member bank to be an officer, director, or manager of an organization
engaged primarily in the business of purchasing, selling, or negotiating
securities, and prohibits correspondent relationships between such
organizations and member banks, except when authorized by a permit
therefor issued by the Federal Keserve Board; and the Board is
authorized to issue such permit if in its judgment it is not incompatible with the public interest and to revoke such permit if the
public interest requires.
The Board believes that it was the intent of the Congress in enacting
the provision regarding officers and directors of member banks to
terminate relationships of certain kinds between member banks and
dealers in securities, apparently because the Congress believed that
such relationships might tend to influence the banks' credit and
investment policies and their advice to their correspondent banks and
other customers respecting investments in a manner which the
Congress deemed to be incompatible with the public interest. Accordingly, the Board believes that it may not properly issue permits authorizing relationships which are actually of a kind referred to in the
section, since to do so would nullify its provisions; and that its



58

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

authority to issue permits should be exercised only in exceptional cases,
such as those which come within the literal terms of the section but
which do not involve relationships of a kind which are actually within its intendment.
During the year 1934, 388 applications of individuals under the
provisions of section 32 were filed with the Board. Of this number,
117 were denied, 32 were granted for the period ending June 16, 1934,
7 were granted without limitation as to time, and in 133 cases the
Board concluded that the provisions of section 32 were not applicable.
In a number of instances consideration of the application was rendered
unnecessary by a change in circumstances occurring after the filing of
the application. The Board also considered the applicability of section 32 in a number of other cases in which no formal applications
were filed.
The Board interpreted the provisions dealing with correspondent
relationships as referring to relationships involving the underwriting
and distribution of securities. However, since member banks are
authorized under other provisions of the law to underwrite and deal in
United States Government obligations, municipal bonds, and certain
other specified types of securities, the Board decided that it might
properly issue permits authorizing correspondent relationships involving securities of those types, and later it issued a blanket permit
authorizing such relationships.
AFFILIATES OF MEMBER BANKS

Reports on affiliates of member banks.—The Banking Act of 1933
amended the Federal Reserve Act so as to provide that member
banks should obtain such reports from each of their affiliates as would
fully disclose the relations between such organizations and the member
banks. For the purpose of such reports the term " affiliates " includes
both "affiliates" and "holding company affiliates" as defined by the
act.
The term "affiliate", as defined in the act, includes any corporation, business trust, association or similar organization, of which a
member bank owns or controls a majority of the voting shares or more
than 50 percent of the number of shares voted at the preceding election
of directors or controls in any other manner the election of a majority
of its directors; of which control is held by shareholders of a member
bank who own or control a majority of the shares of such bank or more
than 50 percent of the number of shares voted at the preceding election of directors or by trustees for the benefit of the shareholders of a
member bank; or of which a majority of the directors are directors of
a member bank.
The term "holding company affiliate" includes any corporation,
business trust, association or similar organization which owns or



ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

59

controls a majority of the shares of stock of a member bank or more
than 50 percent of the number of shares voted at the preceding election
of directors; which controls in any manner the election of a majority
of the directors of a member bank; or for the benefit of whose shareholders substantially all of the stock of a member bank is held by
trustees.
Each State member bank is required to furnish to the Federal
Reserve bank of its district and to the Federal Reserve Board not
less than three reports of its affiliates each year on dates identical with
its own condition report. It is required that reports of affiliates be
published by the bank under the same conditions as govern its own
condition reports, and a penalty is prescribed for failure to obtain
and furnish any such report. National banks are required to make
similar reports to the Comptroller of the Currency.
Number of affiliations.—In response to the call by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency for reports as
of December 31, 1934, 1,142 national banks and 295 State member
banks reported affiliates. These affiliates numbered 2,314, of which
281 were nonmember banks, 227 were safe-deposit or bank-building
companies, 124 were foreign organizations, and the remaining were
classified as mainly in the fields of finance and investment and real
estate. Among the affiliates comprehended by the statutory definition are factories, stores, churches, colleges, newspapers, steamship
companies, cemeteries, hotels, and labor unions. A large number of
these are in the affiliate relationship accidentally, and not as the result
of any purpose of establishing such relationships. In many cases the
affiliation is due to the fact that the bank has had to realize on collateral pledged to secure loans, or holds certain property as trustee of
an estate, or has been helped out of difficulties of its own by the owners
of other businesses. About one-sixth of the affiliates grow out of the
liquidation of bad assets of member banks.
Form of control.—About one-fourth of the affiliates reported were
owned by stockholders of the member banks reporting them as
affiliates, while a little over one-third were owned directly by member
banks. The affiliates' reports that have been submitted by member
banks indicate that there were 170 holding-company affiliates of active
member banks. Twenty-two national banks and 14 State member
banks were reported as being holding-company affiliates of other
member banks. There were 60 holding-company affiliates which were
primarily bank holding companies.
Applications for voting permits by holding-company affiliates.—

Under the provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 shares of a member
bank which are controlled by a holding-company affiliate of the bank
may not be voted unless the holding-company affiliate shall have
first obtained a voting permit from the Federal Reserve Board,



60

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

which permit is in force at the time such shares are voted. In acting
upon an application for a voting permit the Board is required to consider the financial condition of the applicant, the general character
of its management, and the probable effect of the granting of the
permit upon the affairs of the bank, and may grant or withhold a permit as the public interest may require; but may not grant such a
permit except upon certain conditions specified in the law.
During the year 1934 the Federal Reserve Board acted upon the
applications for voting permits submitted in accordance with this
provision of the law and authorized the issuance of permits as follows:
For general purposes, 12; for miscellaneous purposes only, such as
issuance of preferred stock, reduction of common stock, etc., 89; for
the election of directors for the year 1934 and the transaction of
routine matters only, 37; for the election of directors for the year
1934, the transaction of routine matters, and for other miscellaneous
purposes, 67; for the election of directors for the year 1935 and the
transaction of routine matters only, 82; for the election of directors
for the year 1935, the transaction of routine matters, and for other
miscellaneous purposes, 29.
As stated previously, during the year 1934 the Board authorized
the issuance of 12 general voting permits. Consideration is being
given to the issuance of general voting permits in all remaining cases
where satisfactory information is available through examination
reports, or otherwise, with respect to financial condition, management,
and the effect of the relationship upon member banks in the various
groups.
PRIVATE BANKS

Section 21 of the Banking Act of 1933 made it unlawful, after June
16, 1934, for any person, firm, corporation, association, business
trust, or other similar organization engaged in the business of issuing, underwriting, selling, or distributing securities to engage at the
same time in the business of receiving deposits. In view of this
provision some of the well-known private bankers have elected to
continue in the securities business, and others have elected to continue in the banking business. Those that chose to continue as
banks were subject to the requirement that after June 16, 1934,
every " person, firm, corporation, association, business trust, or other
similar organization, other than a financial institution or private
banker subject to examination and regulation under State or Federal
law" engaged "to any extent whatever in the business of receiving
deposits subject to check or to repayment upon presentation of a
passbook, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of debt, or upon
request of the depositor" must submit to periodic examination by
either the Comptroller of the Currency or a Federal Reserve bank,



61

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

and submit and publish condition reports under the same conditions
as national banks.
Under this requirement of law 140 private bankers had agreed to
such examination and had submitted condition reports to the Comptroller of the Currency as of December 31, 1934. Of the 140 private
bankers, 96 had agreed to submit to examination by Federal Reserve
banks and 92 such banks were examined during the year. A few
banks had agreed so late in the year to submit to examination that it
was not practicable to make the examinations before January 1,
1935. Two private banks had agreed to submit to examination by
Federal Reserve banks but had refused to agree to pay the costs of
the examinations, for which no provision had been specifically made
in the law.
The table below shows the number and deposits of private banks
at the end of June 1933 and December 1934. For June 1933 the figures represent private banks under State supervision and private
banks which, in response to the request of the Comptroller of the
Currency, submitted condition reports (on a voluntary basis) directly
to the Comptroller.

i Foreign loans on gold, made during 1924,1925,1926, 1929,1931, and 1934, heretofore included in "Other
Reserve bank credit" or shown separately, are now included in ''Bills discounted." "Other Reserve
bank credit" includes Government overdrafts in 1918, 1919, and 1920.
a Revised to exclude $287,000,000 of gold coin previously reported as in circulation. Beginning Jan. 31,
1934, reporting practice of Treasury and Federal Reserve banks was changed to omit gold coin from figures
for gold stock and money in circulation for the following reasons: (1) Amount of gold coin previously reported as "in circulation" is known to have been overstated during recent years by whatever amount of
such coin has in course of time been lost, destroyed, or exported without records; (2) results of official efforts
during the war to concentrate gold and more recently, since Mar. 6,1933, to secure its return from private
hoards, have indicated that the overstatement has been large; (3) Treasury order of Dec. 28,1933, requiring
surrender of all gold coin (with minor exceptions) in effect prohibits anyone from using gold coin for circulation; (4) under Gold Reserve Act of 1934, effective Jan. 30, no gold coin may henceforth be put into circulation. In order to make figures prior to Jan. 31,1934, comparable with subsequent figures, the same amount
of $287,000,000 has been removed from all previous figures published in this Annual Report. For revised
monthly figures of monetary gold stock and money in circulation from 1914 to date see tables 43 and 48.
3 Comprises outstanding United States notes, national-bank notes, silver certificates (included in lieu of
the silver dollars or silver bullion pledged against them), Treasury notes of 1890, standard silver dollars
(excepting those pledged against silver certificates), subsidiary silver and minor coin, and the Federal
Reserve bank notes for the retirement of which lawful money has been deposited with the Treasurer of the
United States, including the currency of these kinds that is held in the Treasury and the Federal Reserve
banks as well as that in circulation.
* Government funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve banks and cash (including gold bullion) held
in the Treasury excepting (a) gold and silver held against gold and silver certificates and (6) amounts held
for the Federal Reserve banks.
fi Item includes all deposits in Federal Reserve banks except Government deposits and member-bank
reserve balances.
6 This item is derived from the condition statement of the Federal Reserve banks by adding capital,
surplus, reserve for contingencies, and "all other liabilities" and subtracting the sum of bank premises and
"all other assets."
NOTE.—By proclamation of the President dated at 3:10 p. m. Jan. 31, 1934, the weight of the gold dollar
was reduced from 25$io grains to 15% i grains, nine-tenths fine. The resulting increase of $2,806,000,000 (as
of Feb. 1,1934) in the value of the monetary gold stock was covered into the Treasury as a miscellaneous
receipt and is reflected in an increase in the item "Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks."

'1 Revised to exclude $287,000,000; see table 1, note 2.
Gold released from earmark at Federal Reserve banks less gold placed under earmark (with allowance
made when necessary for change in gold earmarked abroad for account of Federal Reserve banks). See
table
43, note 1, and table 45.
2
Derived from preceding columns, reflecting net result of such factors as domestic production, movements into and out of nonmonetary use, imports and exports that do not affect gold stock during month or
year,
and increment resulting from reduction in weight of gold dollar.
3
Differs from Department of Commerce figures, since $8,900,000 declared for export on Feb. 28 was not
actually
taken from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York until Mar. 1.
4
Increase in gold stock during February 1934 represents principally reduction in weight of gold dollar
on Jan. 31; see note to table 1. Figures based on rate of $20.67 a fine ounce through January 1934 and $35 a
fine ounce thereafter.

Money outside Treasury and Federal Reserve banks (prior to November 1914, money outside Treas"
ury). Figures after Jan. 31,1934, do not include gold coin and priorfiguresfor purposes of comparison with
currentfigureshave been reduced by $287,000,000, the estimated amount of gold coin in circulation on Jan.
31,2 1934. See also footnotes to table 1, p. 67. Forfiguresas of other dates see tables 1, 3, 4, and 6.
Figures prior to June 21, 1917 (when legislation became effective changing reserve requirements of
member banks), while comparable with one another, are not strictly comparable with those for succeeding
dates; the transfer to the Federal Reserve banks of that part of legal reserves of member banks formerly
held in own vaults reduced the volume of money outside Treasury and Federal Reserve banks (see note 1).
The increasing membership of State banks in the Federal Reserve System after June 1917, had a similar
effect upon the figures.

* Omission of figures for gold coin reflects change in reporting practice of Treasury and Federal Reserve
banks (effective Jan. 31,1934, when figure would have been $287,000,000). Figures prior to Jan. 31, 1934,
have been reduced by $287,000,000 for purposes of comparison with current figures. The private holding
of gold coin and gold certificates became illegal with minor exceptions as to numismatic collections as a
result of a series of Executive and Treasury orders including those of Apr. 5, Aug. 28, and Dec. 28, 1933.

NOTE.—Figures relate to rates charged by reporting banks to their own customers (see table 56) as
distinguished from open-market rates, which are given in tables 54 and 55. All averages are based on
rates reported for 3 types of customer loans—commercial loans, and demand and time loans on securities.
The method of computing the averages takes into account (a) the relative importance of each of these 3
types of loans and (b) the relative importance of each reporting bank, as measured by total loans. In the
2 group averages the average rate for each city included is weighted according to the importance of that
city in the group, as measured by the loans of all banks.
Back figures.—See Annual Report for 1931 (table 42).

Includes a number of national banks whose Federal Reserve bank stock had been canceled and membership in the Federal Reserve System terminated but which, on the dates given, were still included in
the2 Comptroller of the Currency's records of unlicensed banks.
Deposits of national banks and State bank members are as of the nearest call dates; deposits of nqn
member banks for Apr. 12 and June 30, 1933, are as of Dec. 30, 1932, or the nearest available call date prior
thereto; deposits of nonmember banks for Dec. 30, 1933, Mar. 7, June 27, and Oct. 17, 1934, are as of Dec.
30, 1933, or the nearest available call date prior thereto; and deposits of nonmember banks for Dec. 31,

Exclusive of any trust companies and other financial institutions which do not receive deposits but are
included in State bank abstracts. Also exclusive of mutual savings banks, for which total figures only
appear in table 60, a segregation as to licensed and not licensed mutual savings banks not being available.
In some States, subsequent to the banking holiday in March 1933, restrictions were placed on deposit
withdrawals at all mutual savings banks in the State, but withdrawls in excess of the limitations were
generally permitted if the use to be made of the funds warranted the larger withdrawals. In addition to
these general limitations on deposit withdraw las, other restrictions were imposed, either by the bank's
management or by supervisory authorities, in the case of a number of mutual savings banks taken individually. Nonmember bank figures are not available for some of the dates for which data are shown for
member banks.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL TO THE
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
MAY 15, 1934
In answer to definite inquiries on the part of the Federal Reserve
Board the Federal Advisory Council made the following four recommendations:
1.—Report on business conditions.
The Federal Advisory Council in response to the request of the
Federal Reserve Board makes the following statement regarding the
conditions in the country as a whole. The members of the Council
have been surprised by the great similarity of view held by the representatives on the Council of the 12 Federal Reserve districts. It
might have been supposed that conditions would vary considerably
in different parts of the country, but this does not seem to be the
case except in those areas where Government money has been expended in large amounts.
201
RECOMMENDATION N O .




202

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

In general it may be said that business conditions and sentiment
have improved very much as compared with the earlier part of last
year and the year immediately preceding. There seems, however,
to have been some recession in recent weeks. As far as the members
of the Council can tell, this recent setback is due largely to a lack of
confidence in the activity of the Congress and some of the governmental bureaus recently established. There is considerable uncertainty as to what the ultimate effect may be of some of the recent
legislative enactments and of pending legislative proposals. The
members of the Council are unanimous in believing that there can
be no permanent improvement until such time as the business community of the country becomes convinced that experimentation in
currency and in attempts to regulate business will cease.
The large and uneconomic advance in labor costs is proving definitely untimely and in many cases positively destructive. As a result of these wage advances, selling prices for commodities to absorb
such costs have been necessarily advanced to an extent which limits
distribution and consumptive demand. As time passes it is found to
be particularly true that the influences of increasing costs daily manifest themselves in yet higher prices and increasing restriction of distribution, which has discouraged many lines of industry.
In respect to specific industries it is to be noted that in recent weeks
the textile and metal manufacturing trades have suffered. It is
true that steel operations are at a higher rate than during the last 2
or 3 years, but doubt is expressed as to the next quarter. On the
whole it may be said that the increase in consumption has not kept
pace with the increase in production.
In some of the regions of the country largely dependent on agriculture the prevailing drought will undoubtedly create difficulties.
In the Northwest the dust storms coupled with the unusual dryness
has prevented the seed from germinating. Livestock will have to be
moved unless abundant rains come in the near future. In these
regions to which reference is made there is fear that manufacturers
will face large cancelations.
RECOMMENDATION NO. 2—Bank credit.
The Federal Advisory Council believes that in those sections of
the country where the money of the Government has been widely
distributed there has been some increase of loans on the part of the
banks. In the larger centers of the country, however, loans have
tended to decrease.
RECOMMENDATION NO. 3.—Federal Reserve funds.
The members of the Federal Advisory Council believe that the
effect of dealings in Federal Reserve funds are not of sufficient importance to lessen the ability of the Federal Reserve System to
control credit policies.
RECOMMENDATION N O . 4.—Section 7 (d) of Stock exchange bill
(S. 3420).
The members of the Federal Advisory Council are of the opinion
that the Federal Reserve Board before issuing regulations under this
bill, provided it is enacted into law, should make a careful study as
regards the needs of the situation. It should be pointed out that the
power conferred on the Board is to be permissive and not mandatory.




RECOMMENDATIONS OF FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL

203

Consequently, there is no need for the Board to issue any regulations
until there is evidence that there is necessity for them. In general
the members of the Council feel that if the Board conscientiously can
refrain from adding unnecessarily to the innumerable regulations,
orders, and laws of all kinds under which banks are at present compelled to operate it will be doing a distinct service.
If and when the Federal Reserve Board deems it necessary and
advisable to issue regulations under this provision of the proposed
law then it is to be hoped that the Board will bear in mind the need
for maintaining adequate markets not merely for securities listed
on the more important exchanges of the country but also for securities which have merely a restricted local market and those which
are sold over the counter and not listed. Stringent regulations
may result in destroying the market for the securities of small worthy
industries and thereby possibly destroy these industries themselves
by making it impossible for them to obtain needed capital.
In addition the Federal Advisory Council made the following recommendation in reference to Regulation Q.
RECOMMENDATION NO. 5.—Regulation Q.
The Federal Advisory Council believes that in view of the wide
divergence in rates of interest now being paid on thrift and other
time deposits in different sections of the country, and in view of the
increasing difficulty of obtaining from suitable investments a yield
sufficient to warrant the payment of the maximum rate now fixed
under the provisions of Regulation Q of the Federal Reserve Board,
it is recommended that the Board give consideration to the advisability of lowering the present maximum rate.
In the opinion of the Council the present maximum rate might
well be lowered one-half of 1 percent.
RECOMMENDATION NO. 6.

The Federal Advisory Council believes that it is timely and important to call attention to certain fundamental characteristics of the
Federal Reserve System and to certain present-day tendencies not
in harmony therewith.
When Congress enacted into law the Glass-Owen bill establishing
the Federal Reserve System, it very wisely provided for 12 largely
autonomous Reserve banks located in 12 different parts of the country each under its own board of directors and each responsive, in
some measure, to the individual needs of its district.
The general oversight of these 12 banks was placed with the Federal
Board, a coordinating body located in Washington. The members
of this Board were appointed by the President with the advice and
the consent of the Senate and it was provided that no one of them
could be actively engaged in banking. There was thus constituted
an independent Federal banking system functioning free of undue
influence by the banks on the one hand and free from control by the
Government or by political groups on the other.
Recent events have caused the Council to feel that it should sound
a note of warning that the System ought itself to be careful not to
permit the operation of influences tending to destroy its basic characteristics. The Council believes that it sees a tendency of late



204

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

towards highly restrictive laws, rules, and regulations with respect
to minute details of bank operation which, if not checked, will inevitably destroy the independence of the Reserve banks. The result
of such tendencies, through substituting uniform regulations from
Washington in place of the independent judgment of the several
boards of directors of the Reserve banks, will destroy the morale of
those boards and will prevent that adjustment of local practices to
local needs which Congress clearly contemplated.
The Council believes that if the Federal Reserve System is to continue in existence and to perform its best services to the people it
must avoid both bureaucratic tendencies from within and undue
governmental or bank control from without.
SEPTEMBER 18, 1934.
RECOMMENDATION N O . 1.

The Federal Reserve Board has asked for suggestions from the
Federal Advisory Council as to any matters which it would like to
have considered by the committee which has been appointed by the
Board to study banking laws and to make recommendations.
The Council feels that a careful distinction should be made between
fundamental changes in the Federal Reserve System itself and those
remedial changes which are necessary or desirable as a result of inconsistencies and lack of clarity inevitably resulting from the haste
with which important emergency legislation was enacted in recent
sessions of Congress.
In view of the careful study, the prolonged debate and the thorough
consideration which were given to the subject before the Federal
Reserve Act was adopted in 1914, the Federal Advisory Council is
convinced of the importance of having the act carefully reviewed
prior to further fundamental alterations.
The Federal Advisory Council, therefore, welcomes the step the
Federal Reserve Board has taken in appointing a committee for the
purpose of studying the Federal Reserve System and considering
proposed legislative changes. The Council will appoint a committee
of its members which will confer with the committee appointed by
the Board if the Federal Reserve Board so desires. The committee
of the Council will hold itself in readiness to consult with the committee of the Board whenever it may suit the convenience of the
latter.
RECOMMENDATION N O . 2.

The Federal Advisory Council is disturbed by the present provision
in the Banking Act of 1933 which provides that the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation shall continue to insure banks now in existence
which have no capital structure and likewise banks to be chartered
hereafter.
The present act provides that the Corporation must accept applications from and insure banks the assets of which banks are sufficient
to pay their liabilities.
It is the judgment of the Council that banks hereafter to be admitted should have in addition to assets sufficient to pay their liabilities an adequate capital structure and in addition thereto it is the
belief of the Council that the applicants should make a reasonable
Digitized forshowing
FRASER of public necessity to the Corporation.


RECOMMENDATIONS OF FEDERAL ADVISORY COUNCIL

205

RECOMMENDATION NO. 3.

The members of the Federal Advisory Council have reviewed the
activity of the member banks in their respective districts as to the
cooperation of these banks in respect to the direct loans to industry
which Federal Reserve banks are authorized to make. The Council
finds that the member banks have cooperated and the Council believes that the banks will continue to assist the Federal Reserve
banks in placing the loans in question.
NOVEMBERpO, 1934.
TOPIC NO. 1.—Loans secured by registered securities made by
banks to others than to members of registered exchanges.
Recommendation.—When regulations are issued covering loans
secured by registered securities made by banks to others than to
members of registered exchanges, we strongly urge that they be made
as simple as possible and that the principle of a definite percentage
of margin based on current market values be established.
