FEDERAL EESBBVB BANK OF ATLANTA
INTRODUCTION
Business conditions during 1922 have shown I steady improvement and although foreign trade lias been at a low ebb, the close
Of the year found the Sixth Federal Reserve District in a more
stabilized and, in many respects, in a more satisfactory position
than at any time since the outbreak of the world war. The uneasiness on the part of the public, which commenced in 1020 and
continued for the most part through 1921. has given way to a
more settled and confident feeling and except for the railroad and
a few unimportant strikes in the District, there have been few disturbing influences.
The reserve city banks and those in financial centers have
shown a healthy improvement, and a general improvement has been
made by the banks located in agrieultural sections, although it has
not been so marked as in the larger city banks.
There has been a reaction in the downward trend of prices,
and the returns for agricultural products have been much more
satisfactory than for the preceding year. The advanced price of
cotton, with a larger yield than last year (although much below
the ten year average) has aided the farmers materially, except in
restricted areas where the boll weevil has practically destroyed the
crop for three successive years.
In most lines of the wholesale trade there has been a steady
upward trend, and the increase is also apparent in comparing the
same months' business with that of the preceding year. Reports
10
ANNUAL BXPOST <>F T i n : r i D Q U L RXBEBVS H A N K Of ATLANTA
indicate that the retail trade generally is buying for immediate
needs, and is not inclined to increase stocks. The reports of department stores do not show the same ratio of increase in sales as
It shown by the several lines of wholesale trade. This, however,
can be attributed to some extent to the late fall and winter, which
if anything was milder than last year.
The industrial plants, especially textile,, iron and steel, have
been more active than for many months past, and production has
shown a steady increase.
To sum up the situation, it is believed that with conditions at
home and abroad still unsettled, recovery in the Sixth Federal Reserve District during 1922 has been on the whole satisfactory, if
not remarkable.
GENERAL BUSINESS AND BANKING CONDITIONS
General Conditions—General business conditions in the
Sixth Federal Reserve District during the year 1922 have shown
substantial improvement over the years immediately preceding.
Business statistics compiled in connection with the Monthly Business Review have shown steady progress throughout the year, and
reports received from retail and wholesale merchants and manufacturing firms all indicate that the year has been one of rather remarkable recovery from the uncertainty and unsatisfactory conditions which prevailed through a part, at least, of the year 1921.
Some progress had been made during the latter part of 1921.
The downward swing of prices which began in the early summer of
l!»20. affecting all lines of business, had not spent its force until the
middle of 1921, and while there were fluctuations of a minor character during the last half of that year, the level of prices, according
to index numbers compiled by both the Federal Reserve Board and
the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, was about the same
at the beginning of 1922 as it was in June of the year before.
At the beginning of 1922 there was some unemployment and
considerable uncertainty and doubt in the mind of the business public. Agricultural production in 1921, excepting cotton, was satisfactory in point of actual volume, but prices of the various crops
were low and profitable markets for most of them were lacking.

The cotton c r o p in L921 was the smallest in t w e n t y y e a r s , a n d when
t h e size of the c r o p became a p p a r e n t , the p r i c e of t h e s t a p l e rose 1o
m o r e t h a n t w e n t y cents a p o u n d the l a t t e r part of S e p t e m b e r , b u t
settled back to around eighteen and a half cents at the dose of the
year. While fanners received a better price Cor their cotton, the
Drop was so small 1 hat in some sections it was almost a complete
failure, and with the low money returns from Other crops, farmers
were in a position somewhat similar to that of the year before, and
were again obliged let carry over a large part of their indebtedness.
The year 1922 began under much more favorable conditions.
The downward swing of prices had reached a low point and the
tenor of reports from business firms in all lines showed that, the attitude of the business public, an important factor in shaping conditions, had undergone B change for the better. There was a distinct improvement in the feeling of those engaged in various lines
of commercial and industrial activity, and there was a basis for the
belief that progress was being made toward a more nearly normal
volume of business. In other words, deflation in prices was completed, at least for the. time being, unemployment was beginning to
decline, manufacturing conditions had improved, and indications
were that the improvement which before that time had been more
or less limited in its scope was becoming more general and spreading to all lines of trade.
This does not mean that complete recovery had taken place for
during the year 1922 the reports received from department stores
in the district showed increased volume of sales over corresponding
periods in 1921 in only three instances, although in several other
instances the decreases were very small. Wholesale trade, however,
ha.s shown up very favorably during the year, except during the
early months. Debits to individual account at important cities in
the district have shown fairly steady improvement during the year,
although in the first part of the year the amounts reported were
smaller than during the same period of the year before.
Agricultural conditions during 1922 have been substantially
better than during the preceding year. Rigid economy was practiced in preparation for planting and in the cultivating of crops,
and the money returns received by the farmers were materially
greater than in 1921. Except in Georgia, the cotton crop was
1*J
A N N U A L KEPORT OF T I I K F E D E R A L KKSKKVK B A N K O f
ATLANTA
larger, and the price more favorable than in 1921, and in the case
of other agricultural crops, while not all showed increased volume
of production, the prices received were higher, with the result that
a large percentage of the farmers have been able to liquidate obligations which had been carried in many instances for two years.
As a further consequence, country merchants were enabled to substantially reduce their indebtedness, and therefore both merchants
and banks show improvement.
Labor—Employment conditions in the Sixth District made
substantial inproveinent during 1922. At the beginning of the
year, there was a surplus of workers in all of the more important
cities and towns. The strike of union coal miners in other sections
resulted in increased activity in the non-union coal fields of the
district, and the strike of railway shopmen was the only outstanding
adverse feature of the employment situation during the year.
Steady improvement in other lines was made almost every month,
and during the fall months there developed a shortage of some
classes of workers in parts of the district. At the end of the year,
there was practically no unemployment in the district, and in some
lines, an actual shortage was evident.
Money Market—The decline in member banks' rediscounts
with the Federal Reserve Bank evidences the easier market
which prevailed the latter part of the year. This easier market resulted more from increased deposits of member banks than from a
reduction of their loans and discounts. Comparing the loans of
forty-one reporting member banks on the last weekly report date of
each month for the year, the peak was $404,027,000 in November,
1922, and $426,535,000 in January of the preceding year, and the
low point was $350,132,000 in February, 1922, and $376,227,000 in
July, 1921.
During the year, the loans and discounts of member banks fluctuated between $350,000,000 and $360,000,000 for the first eight
months, followed by an increase during the remaining four months.
The demand deposits of the same fortj'-one reporting banks increased gradually during the year from $223,000,000 on the last
report date in January to $271,000,000 on the last report date in
December, an increase of approximately $48,000,000. The time
deposits of these banks increased during the same time from
ANNUAL REPORT OF TilK FEDERAL RESKKVK HANK 09 ATLANTA
13
$143,000,000 to $162,000,000, an increase of $19,000,000, or a total
increase for the forty-one banks of $07,000,000. The deposits of all
member banks increased from $754,642,000 on December .30, 1921,
to $802,787,000 on June 30, 1922, and to approximately $926,000,000 on December 29, 1922; an increase of approximately $172,000,000 for the year, or 24 per cent.
Debits to individual account, regarded as an index to the
volume of business handled, showed an increase for the year. The
total debits for fifteen reporting centers in the district amounted
to $9,578,604,000, as compared with $9,383,264,000 for the previous
year, an increase of nearly $200,000,000. The volume for the three
last months of the year largely exceeded the earlier months and was
in excess of every month for the preceding year. Only four of the
fifteen reporting centers showed decreases.
FINANCIAL RESULTS OP OPERATION
Comparative Balance Sheett—Reference is made to Schedule
No. 1, from which it will be seen that the total resources
on December 30, 1922, amounted to $214,030,720.87, as compared with $215,529,488.32 on December 31, 1921, or a decrease of
only $1,498,767.45. This, however, does not reveal changes in
several important items on the balance sheet.
The total cash reserve on December 30, 1922, was $142,350,595.49 as compared with $76,281,712.41 on December 31, 1921; an
increase of $66,068,883.08, or approximately 87 per cent.
The invested assets amounted to $40,125,731.48 on December
30, 1922, as compared with $113,393,093.48 on December 31, 1921;
a decrease of $73,267,380, or a little more than 64 per cent.
Member banks' reserve deposits were $52,398,273.16 at the
close of the year, as compared with $42,967,160.78 at the close of the
previous year, or an increase of almost 22 per cent.
Federal Reserve notes in actual circulation were $2,565,530
greater on December 30, 1922, than on December 31, 1921.
The net liability of $8,033,750.00 for Federal Reserve Bank
note circulation on December 31, 1921, was entirely retired during
the year, and this item did not appear in the statement at the close
of the year 1922.

Comparative-Statement—Earnings
and Expenses—The gross
earnings of $2,352,736.12 for the year 1922, were only 31.7
per cent, of the $7,406,652 earned in 1021. The decrease
in earnings was a reflection of the rapid decline in earning
assets during the early months of the year to the low and fairly even
level which prevailed for the remaining months. The total current
expenses for the year were $l,293,0r>:{, which was $287,532.00 less
than for the previous year. The principal items of expense showing decreases were officers' and clerks' salaries, printing and stationery, cost of Federal Reserve currency, and tax on Federal Reserve Bank note circulation.
Comparative Profit and Loss Statement—The net earnings
for 1922 of $1,059,683.00 was 82 per cent, less than for
the previous year, which amounted to $5,826,069. After deducting
reserve and depreciation charges of $386,953, the net amount available for dividends, surplus and franchise tax was distributed as
follows:
Dividends paid
Surplus
Franchise Tax paid to U. S. Government
$256,617.65
41,611.20
374,500.85
Total
$672,729.70
An additional $213,629.00 franchise tax was paid to the United
States government and charged to surplus account to adjust the
amount of franchise tax for the year 1921. There was an increase
of $10,756.00 in the amount of dividends paid to member banks for
1922 as compared with 1921.
RESERVE POSITION
The cash reserve of $74,254,000 on January 4, 1922, the first
weekly report date of the year, was 42.2 per cent, of the aggregate
deposit and reserve note liability of $175,823,000. The reserve
ratio increased rapidly every week until March 8th, when the ratio
reached 74.1 per cent. Reports for the two succeeding weeks, on
March 15th and March 22nd, showed a slight decline to 73.4 per
and 72.3 per cent, respectively, which was followed by a gradual increase until May 3rd, when the reserve ratio reached 80.2
per cent. From that date until September 13th, they did not
ANNUAL REPORT OP THK KDBtAL KKsKKVK HANK Off ATLANTA
fall below 80 per cent.
15
On June 7th a ratio of 84 per cent, was
reached, and the high point. S4.2 per cent, on • report date, was
August 30th. This was exceeded several times on aon-reportiifg
dates; the extreme high point for the year being on .June 5th,
when the ratio was 85.5 per eent. on which date the cash reserve
amounted to $145,022,000, and the Federal Reserve note and
deposit liability was $169,526,000. From September 13th to the
dose of the year, the reserve ratio fluctuated between SO and 74.S
per cent. The decline from the higher level is attributable to seasonal demands tor crop moving. On December 27th. the Last report date of the year, the cash reserves were $141,403,405, which
was 76.1 per eent. of the combined deposit and Federal Reserve
note liability of $185,730,50(5. On December 30, 1922. the cash reserves amounting to $142,350,595.49 were s ".l per cent, of the deposit and Federal Reserve note liability, the highest, in the entire
Federal Reserve System on that date. It was not necessary to rediscount with other Federal Reserve Banks at any time during the
year in order to maintain our reserve position.
DISCOUNT OPERATIONS.
At the beginning of the year, the total earning assets of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta amounted to $113,393,000, consisting of discounts for member banks $90,827,000, bills bought in
the open market $3,686,000, and United States securities owned
$18,880,000, which included $8,564,000 of One Year Certificates issued under the Pittman Act. The earning assets declined rapidly
until June 14th, when they reached $38,621,000. The extreme low
point for the year on a report date, August 16th, was $38,194,000,
when discounts for member banks amounted to $29,186,000, bills
bought in the open market $1,071,000, and United States securities
owned $7,937,000, which included $5,699,000 One Year Certificates
issued under the Pittman Act. At the close of the year, discounts
for member banks amounted to $26,332,000, bills purchased in the
open market $11,422,000, and United States securities owned
$2,371,000, or a total of $40,126,000 of earning assets.
Bills discounted for member banks secured by Government obligations amounted to $24,420,000 on the first of the year, as compared with $2,116,000 at its close, while all other discounts declined
16
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA
from $66,407,000 on December 31, 1921, to $24,217,000 on December 30, 1922, or a decrease of 71 per cent, for both classes combined.
The largest number of banks accommodated in any one month during the year was 364 for the month of January, while 230 banks
received discount accommodation during November, which was the
smallest number exercising the discount privilege in any one month
of the year, as compared with 339, the smallest number in any one
month during the previous year.
The total accommodation to member banks, exclusive of purchased paper, amounted to $489,930,000 for 1922, as compared with
$1,647,255,000 for 1921. Discounted paper secured by United
States Government obligations was $186,946,000 for 1922, and for
the previous year $936,800,000. Strictly agricultural and live stock
paper discounted for members amounted to $49,734,000 for 1922
and $71,054,000 for the preceding year. All other discounts for
member banks, consisting of industrial and commercial paper,
amounted to $248,508,000 for 1922 and $626,899,000 for 1921. The
proceeds of this paper, however, were used to a considerable extent
for agricultural purposes, it being more convenient to use large
pieces of industrial and commercial paper than the smaller agricultural notes. Purchased paper (bankers' acceptances) and trade
acceptances are referred to under the caption "Bankers' and Trade
Acceptances.'' The total volume of earning assets for the year was
$546,954,000, as compared with $1,688,938,000 for 1921. The number of discount and investment items amounted to 96,915 and
159,458 for 1922 and 1921 respectively, exclusive of U. S. securities
purchased.
The largest volume of discounts granted to member banks in
any one State for 1922 was $157,386,000 to 142 members in Georgia,
with a total membership at the close of the year of 188 banks.
Louisiana, a divided State, followed closely with accommodations
aggregating $150*954,000 to 30 members out of a total membership
of 32 banks. In Alabama, 83 banks discounted $61,382,000 for the
year; the remaining 50 members in that State did not ask for accommodation. One-half of the 78 member banks in Florida discounted $37,459,000 during 1922. Mississippi, a divided State,
with a membership of 20 banks, discounted $7,392,000; only six
members not availing themselves of the discount privileges. In
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA
17
Tennessee, another divided State, 45 member banks discounted
$75,357,000; the remaining 47 members were not under discount at
any time during the year. The total number of banks accommodated in 1922 was 353, from a membership at the close of the year
of 543 banks, and with a membership of 515 at the close of 1921,
paper had been discounted for 444 member banks.
BANKERS' AND TRADE ACCEPTANCES
In the early months of the year, there was very little evidence
of bankers' acceptance financing, but later there was considerable
activity for crop moving purposes. There has been a steady increase in this form of financing and acceptances were created in a
somewhat larger volume than in 1921. Bills of the larger accepting member banks, and the Federal International Banking Company of New Orleans, found ready sale in the open market. As
the advantages to be derived from this means of financing become
more generally understood in the Sixth District, where such adequate facilities for the storing of commodities and for export exist, there will be a growth in the volume of acceptances created and,
in the course of time, wider internal distribution among those having short time funds to invest. Bills purchased in the open market,
consisting entirely of bankers' acceptances, amounted to $46,429,000
for 1922 as compared with $22,128,000 for 1921, or an increase of
109.8 per cent. At the beginning of the year, Federal Reserve.
Bank holdings were approximately $4,000,000. This amount declined gradually to $671,000 on June 7th, and continued on a fairly
even level until early in September when the holdings began to increase and continued, with some fluctuations, until the end of the
year when the amount was $11,422,000. The largest amount held
on a report date was $13,586,000 on November 1st. A small number of the larger accepting banks, reporting for the same months
in 1921 and 1922, showed an increase of approximately 12 per cent,
in the amount of acceptances executed. The Federal International
Banking Company of New Orleans executed acceptances aggregating $33,122,000 for 1922, as compared with $17,138,000 for 1921,
an increase of 93 per cent.
Trade acceptances were not used in the district to any great
extent, and the impetus given to the use of these bills in other districts some months ago has not been reflected in the Sixth District.

ANNUAL REPORT OP THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA
Conditions generally have not been favorable to the broadening of
the use of trade acceptances, largely for the reason that drawees
have not been inclined to agree to change from the open account,
which could be paid when convenient, to an obligation having a
definite maturity calling for prompt payment, overlooking the deterrent against overbuying that the trade acceptance creates. "With
improved conditions and a better understanding of. the advantages
to be derived, the use of trade acceptances should increase in volume. Trade acceptances discounted for member banks aggregated
$4,742,000 for 1922, as compared with $11,811,000 for 1921. The
largest amount discounted for any one month was $742,000.00 in
January, and the minimum was $200,000.00 in July.
GOLD SETTLEMENT FUND
The total receipts from other Federal Keserve Banks through
the Gold Settlement Fund for 1922 were $2,482,228,000, an increase
of $356,996,000 over 1921, and payments through the fund to other
Federal Reserve Banks were $2,392,243,000, an increase of $252,197,000 over the previous year. The largest payments and receipts
for any one weekly period were $72,206,000 and $67,414,000, respectively, for the week ending October 19th. The smallest amount
paid to other Federal Reserve Banks for any weekly period was
$33,145,000 for the week ending February 16th, and receipts of
$37,404,000 were the smallest for the week ending July 13th. The
greatest net loss for any period was $6,133,000 for the week ending
November 16th, and the greatest gain, $11,844,000, for the week
ending February 16th.
Particular attention is called to Schedule 7, showing change
from a net loss of $16,342,000 and $14,814,000 for 1920 and 1921,
respectively, to a net gain of $89,985,000 in 1922 in settlements with
other Federal Reserve Banks through the Gold Settlement Fund.
The favorable balances for the year have no doubt been a contributing factor to the improvement in general financial conditions
throughout the district.

two National banks; a net increase of ten National Bank members
was the result as compared with eleven during the preceding year
and twelve in 1920. The increase in stock held by National bank
members was 1,264 shares, bringing the total holdings of stock by
National banks at the close of the year 1922 to 57,468 shares,
amounting to $2,873,400.

fiduciary powers under the provisions of Section 11 (k) of the Federal Reserve Act, and one bank was granted additional powers. National Banks having authority to act in a fiduciary capacity numbered 72 at the close of business December 30th.
The growth in the volume of trust business handled by trust
companies, and by National Banks having trust departments, will
increase with a better understanding of corporate fiduciaries. It is
the opinion of National Banks operating trust departments that
new business is obtained, and balances retained upon the death of
customers which otherwise of necessity would be transferred to
competing trust companies, had not the right to exercise fiduciary
powers been granted them.
ACCEPTANCE UP TO 100 PER CENT
The Federal Reserve Board, during the year 1922, authorized
two banks in this district to accept up to 100 per cent, of their
capital and surplus. Banks in the Sixth Federal Reserve District

acceptance form of financing was more active the latter part of the
year, when it was used in connection with the cotton movement.
OPERATION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANK BRANCHES

Nashville, and agency at Savannah, continued to serve the member
banks in their respective zones, and the volume of business handled
by them was proportionate to the volume handled by the Federal

BANK PREMISES
In order to provide suitable banking quarters and to care for
future requirements in Atlanta and the branches at New Orleans,
Nashville and Jacksonville, it has been necessary to purchase sites
in these cities and erect bank buildings. The Birmingham Branch
is located in the Jefferson County Bank Building, on the ground
floor, and its quarters, although leased, are well adapted to the
present needs of the branch.
Atlanta—It was expected that the bank building in Atlanta would be completed by the end of the year, but delay in receiving railroad shipments of materials resulted in the force of
workmen being reduced and the work progressed slower than was
anticipated. It is nearing completion and when finished will not
only provide ample space for the present force of employees, but
will afford room for growth and expansion. The completed building, with a frontage of 158 feet on Marietta street, will be a handsome and dignified three-story structure, with two basements.
Every appointment has been fully and carefully worked out, with
a view of providing adequate working facilities and comfort for the
employees. The building was more fully described in last year's
annual report. The book value of the building at the close of the
year was $1,299,813.60, and it is estimated the cost of completion

MONTHLY BUSINESS REVIEW
The Federal Reserve Agent, as in past years, has made a
monthly report to the Federal Reserve Board on general business
conditions in the district, and this report has been printed and circulated to banks, business firms and others in the Sixth District,
and to all persons or firms throughout the United States who have
expressed a desire to receive it. The Monthly Business Review has
been mailed each month to all banks in the District, non-member as
well as member, and many expressions of commendation have been
received. The information contained in the Review is well regarded by the banking and business public, who find it especially
useful to have data of various kinds on different subjects collected
30
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA
and furnished to them in one document, making unnecessary the
reading of numbers of publications which might deal with individual subjects only.
During June representatives of the Atlanta bank attended a
Conference on Business Reporting, called by the Federal Reserve
Board for the purpose of discussing these monthly reviews, and the
methods of gathering information and other subjects brought up
at the conference. Special attention has been paid during the year
to increasing the number of reporting firms in retail and wholesale
trade, with some success, and to inaugurating a reporting system
among cotton hosiery manufacturers.
The circulation of the Review has had a net increase of approximately 1,000 copies during the year, being at the close of the
year approximately 7,000 copies.
RELATIONS W I T H T H E PUBLIC
Through the Associated Press, the financial pages of the daily
newspapers are now giving more space to general business and agricultural conditions of the district as reported in our Monthly
Review. There has also been a wider circulation of the Review in
response to demands from the business public and much interest
has been evinced in the statements on the general conditions of the
district. The information contained in the Review is from the
most reliable data obtainable and it is given out as an impartial and
disinterested service.
The officers have continued to make public addresses, whenever
opportunity afforded, before meetings of business men, conventions
and group meetings of bankers, regarding the operation and functions of the Federal Reserve Bank. These addresses have presented the aims of the Federal Reserve System and have made for
a better understanding of its operation.
