Annual Report
1963
To the Member Banks of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston:
It is a pleasure to send you the 1963 Annual
Report o f the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
affects indirectly every phase of American
enterprise and every person in the United States.
This report is published on the Fiftieth Anni
versary of the Federal Reserve System. The
Act which created the System was signed into
law by President Wilson on December 23, 1913,
and the twelve Reserve Banks simultaneously
opened their doors for business on November
16, 1914.
The following pages reflect aspects o f the
stewardship exercised by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston on behalf of New England’s ten
million inhabitants. They also trace significant
changes which have taken place in the New Eng
land economy during the Reserve Bank’s lifetime.
Over the subsequent fifty years the Federal
Reserve System has developed into a major
instrument for helping counteract inflation
ary and deflationary movements, and for
assisting in creating conditions favorable to
national growth, sustained high employment,
stable values, and a rising standard of living.
Through its influence on credit and money, it
For the steadily increasing efficiency of the
Bank’s operations, I extend my own thanks and
those of our directors to our officers and staff.
W e also extend our thanks to New England
bankers and other business leaders for their
generous continuing cooperation.

New England’s 50 Years of Change and Growth
A Summary by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
In the years which have elapsed since the
founding of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston in 1914, New England has weath
ered many economic storms and has on
the whole shown remarkable flexibility.
For the people of the region, the changes
have resulted in a new economic focus and
a vastly higher standard of living.
Within this period New England has
provided more than a million additional
jobs despite the stability in the size of its
manufacturing employment. That this
highly industrial region could absorb the
loss of about 300,000 jobs in its once
most important industry— textiles— is
striking evidence of the strength and
adaptability of its economy. The great
expansion in the region’s employment
has been in the service industries.
T he Ch ang e— T h en

NEW ENGLAND POPULATION
N ow
In 1919, with the end of the First World
War, New England industry felt the
impact of the great pent-up demand for
consumer goods. Of that happy period
this Bank’s M onthly Review noted that
in Fall River, Massachusetts “ the mills
report a shortage of help and all who care
to work can find employment.”
In
Pawtucket, Rhode Island, “ practically all
plants either in textiles or metals are
running to capacity. Their books are
crowded with orders.” The period was
not, however, free of worry. In January

1920, the Bank reported that the Christ
mas trade had never been so enormous—
“ never was purchasing power, created
New England’s 50 Years of Change and Growth
by high wages and profits, exercised with
such extravagance and apparent dis
regard for the future.” There was an
“orgy of spending” both for luxuries and
for “ needlessly costly necessities.”
The situation had changed sharply by
the middle of 1920 and the euphoria
vanished. New England was the first
section of the country to feel the con
traction. The Bank noted “ a widespread

ance, finance, recreation, education, and
other service industries.
Technological changes that developed
under the impetus of World War II
improved New England’s competitive
position. During the war, the federal
government placed substantial military
contracts with the region’s metal working
plants. While they worked on the new
weapons, these companies became fa
miliar with entirely new technologies and
new production techniques. This experi
ence enabled them to compete more
effectively in the post-war period. It
also greatly increased the importance of
the metal-working industries in the re
gion’s economy.
Their products are
used primarily for space and defense
needs. As a result, variations in governNEW ENGLAND EMPLOYMENT IN

curtailment in the operation of textile
mills and shoe factories, and what might
almost be called an epidemic of cancella
tion of orders.”
The decades of the
twenties and the thirties continued to
show a decline in those industries.
The 1919-1939 period was a time of
fundamental readjustment in the region’s
economy. During this time manufac
turing employment declined by more
than one-fourth.
This loss, however,
was more than offset by a substantial
gain in other jobs— particularly in insur

ment contracts have a severe impact on
them. So far, however, these industries
have continued their growth and now
provide more manufacturing jobs than
any others.
T h e G r o w th — P o p u la tio n
More than 10,500,000 people live in New
England now— almost 4,000,000 more
than 50 years ago. Most of these resi
dents were born in the region; less than
6 of the 90 percent of native born inhab
itants came from states outside the
Northeast. The remaining one-tenth of
the region’s people are foreign born— a
higher proportion than any other section
except for New York State.
The latest Census Bureau estimates for
1970 indicate a further increase of about
1,600,000 in the region’s population.
This growing population will require a
further expansion of public and private
facilities and will provide new markets
for many of the region’s producers.
expansion is largely the result of the great
wave of post-war babies who will then be
entering the labor market. Thousands
of new jobs will be necessary to accom
modate them.
I n d u s t r ie s
Along with the gains in the region’s labor
force, vital changes have also taken

The region’s labor force is made up of
about 4.5 million persons who work out
side their homes. This represents an
increase of about two-thirds since 1910.
Projections for 1970 indicate a further
growth to 4.8 million workers.
This
place in the ways by which New Eng
landers earn their living. One of the
most significant changes has been the
vast increase in the number of workers in
service industries, such as finance, insur
ance, trade, and teaching.
In 1960,
almost 2.5 million people were attached
to such industries, an increase of more
than 125 percent in these past 50 years.
Moreover, by 1970 more than 3 million
New Englanders will be service industry
workers, almost twice as many as in
manufacturing then.
The importance of service industries has
grown similarly in the nation and is
normal for advanced economic commu
nities. However, while in the nation
N ew E ngland’ s 50 Years o f Change and G row th
these industries could draw from the
farm labor force, New England has so
small a proportion of farm workers that
the increase has come in place of manu
facturing growth.
Between 1920 and
1960, the proportion of New England’s
work force employed in manufacturing
dropped from 50 to 32 percent.

Billions of Dollars
a third since its peak in 1919, some com
ponents— especially the apparel and paper
industries— have shown substantial gains.
F in a n c ia l A
ssets
The assets of New England’s financial
institutions, insurance, and investment
companies have grown enormously in the
last 50 years. From 1910 to 1962 com
mercial bank assets alone have increased
by about 850 percent and those of mutual
savings banks have grown almost as
much— 812 percent.
Assets of the re
gion’s life insurance companies show even
greater growth and now represent a higher
proportion of the nation’s assets in the
industry than they did in 1910.
P e r C a p it a I n c o m e
The other striking development in the
region’s industrial picture has been the
change in the character of its manufac
turing activity, particularly since the end
of W orld W ar II.
In that period,
durable goods have expanded sharply,
as noted above.
Am ong the latter the
metal-working industries are particularly
important. W hile in 1939 those indus
tries accounted for only 28 percent of
New England’s manufacturing employ
ment, by 1961 this proportion had
increased to 44 percent. Projections for
1970 indicate a still further increase to
almost half of all manufacturing jobs.
W hile employment in the soft goods
industries has declined by more than
Individual incomes have also shown an
enormous rise over this period and have
consistently exceeded the United States
average. In terms of 1947-1949 dollars,
per capita income almost doubled in the
years from 1920 to 1960, rising from
$1,009 to $1,949.
On the same base,
1970 projected individual income will
be $2,378.
R e t a il Sa l e s
This steadily rising income has enabled
the N ew Englander to raise his standard
of living through the purchase of more
goods and services. This is reflected in
the tremendous growth in retail sales
over the years. Since 1929, the date of
the earliest comprehensive figures for
N ew England, retail sales have increased
from an annual rate of $3.7 billion to an
estimated high of $15 billion in 1963.
Summary of Principal Changes
Statem ent
of
C o n d it io n
The Bank’s total assets at the end of 1963
amounted to nearly $3.2 billion— down slightly
from a year ago. The principal assets comprised
$801 million of gold certificates and $1.6 billion
o f U.S. government securities. On the liability
side, Federal Reserve notes in circulation
amounted to $1.9 billion and deposits $691
million.
Year end adjustments by New England member
banks involved unusually large commercial and
financial transfers to other Federal Reserve Dis
tricts, and resulted in reallocation of this bank’s
participation in U.S. securities in the System
Open Market account and in gold certificate
reserves.
Holdings o f U.S. securities increased
about 7.5 percent. In contrast, gold certificate
holdings declined by $163 million, or 17 percent,
as a result o f inter-district settlements and the
continuing gold loss o f the nation. The District
One gold ratio dropped to 30 percent from 36
percent a year ago.
Uncollected cash items showed a relatively
sharp rise as check float set new records in both
the nation and the region for the year end. A
substantial increase in the volume of checks
and processing delays, resulting in part from
bad weather over much o f the nation, disrupted
collection schedules.
Foreign currency holdings stood at $7.3 million,
about double the year ago level, reflecting the
participation of this Bank in a number of foreign
currencies held in the Reserve System’s invest
se v e n
ment account. Reciprocal currency agreements
were made by the System with a number of
foreign central banks beginning in 1962, and
these mutual credit facilities have been used to
help offset abnormal and temporary pressures on
the dollar.
A rise in Federal Reserve notes, and declines in
member bank reserve accounts and U.S. govern
ment deposits, accounted for the bulk of the
change in liabilities. Currency circulation has
been increasing at a somewhat faster rate in
recent years, with most of the rise occurring in
bills of large denomination. In addition, the
beginning of changeover from $1 silver cer
tificates to $1 Federal Reserve notes has served
to increase the Bank’s note liabilities. (Silver
certificates are liabilities of the U.S. Treasury.)
Total capital accounts increased about 6 percent,
or $3.8 million, and reflected both the purchase
of additional Reserve Bank stock by member
banks and the amount transferred to surplus to
maintain the account at twice “ paid in” capital.
At the year end these accounts were a little
more than 2 percent of total resources.
E a r n in g s
and

xpen ses
Total current earnings of the Bank rose $4.5
million, owing primarily to the increase in
interest earned on the Bank’s share of U.S. gov
ernment securities held in the System Open
Market account. Although the Bank’s holdings
were higher throughout most of the year, some
part of the increase is accounted for by a better
rate of return on the portfolio. Most other
earnings sources showed relatively small in
creases.
Net expenses rose about $670 thousand. A l
though virtually all expense items were larger,
the major increase— $250 thousand— was in
salary and wage payments to a somewhat larger
average number of employees.
Net earnings after all adjustments totaled $45.6
million, about $4 million above 1962. About
$1.4 million was paid to member banks as their
statutory 6 percent dividend on Federal
Reserve Bank stock. Of the remainder, $2.6
million was transferred to surplus and $41.6
million paid to the Treasury as an interest charge
levied by the Board of Governors under Section
16 o f the Federal Reserve Act on Federal Reserve
notes not secured by gold certificates.
V
olum e of
O p e r a t io n s
During the year 1963 more than 361 million
checks were processed, amounting to $92 bil
lion— an increase over the previous year of 5
percent in both number and dollar volume.
Amount encoded checks received for processing
on electronic equipment increased from a daily
average o f 300 thousand in January to approx
imately 450 thousand in December. The total
volume o f checks handled by electronic high
speed equipment during 1963 was 121 million,
as compared with 31 million items in 1962.
The dollar volume of currency received, counted
and sorted by this Bank also continued its steady
increase. In contrast, the amount and value of
coin counted and wrapped during the year
showed a significant decline, reflecting the con
tinuing shortage of coin supplies throughout
the nation. Throughout the year, armored car
service provided by this Bank continued to
increase, and such deliveries now include 82
percent of all banking offices outside the city of
Boston.
The activities of the Fiscal Agency Department
during 1963 followed very much the level of
1962 both in number of units handled and in
dollar volume. The cash requirements of the
Treasury Department continued high and vari
ous measures were taken to extend the maturity
of the outstanding debt including a continuation
of the advance refunding technique and the
experiment of offering bonds at auction to
syndicates of dealers.
Wire transfer of funds for member banks con
tinued to expand by record-making amounts.
During the year these transfers grew by 11 per
cent in number and by 25 percent in dollar
volume, largely as a result of the increasingly
active participation of member banks in the
federal funds market.
In 1963, the daily average of member bank bor
rowing at the discount window was $7,300,000
which was moderately higher than the previous
two years but substantially below the level pre
vailing throughout most of the 1950’s. The
increase was principally a reflection of strong
loan demand and somewhat less ease in mone
tary and credit policy during the last eight
months of the year. As in 1962, borrowing in
1963 was concentrated among fewer banks than
in the past, apparently the result of wider use
of the federal funds market by the District’s
country banks.
Over the year as a whole, the larger volume of
work was carried on with only a slight increase
in the number of employees. The staff averaged
1442 during 1963, of which 1280 were full-time
employees and 162 were part-time employees.
