OPERATION OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF CHICAGO
IN

O

1 922

PERATIONS of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago during
1922 indicate increasing service to member banks and, indirectly, to business generally through clearing and collection,
transfer of funds, and currency functions. Discount operations show
a considerable reduction in volume of business from 1921 on account
of continued liquidation, and fiscal agency operations also decreased
somewhat, but in practically every other department of the bank
there has been a marked increase in the volume of work done. Details of these operations are shown with comparisons in the following
pages. In most cases, the increased work is being accomplished with
a reduced force of employees. The greater efficiency is due partly to
better facilities in the new building completed this year.
Loans to member banks continued to decrease until September,
when fluctuations appeared, accompanied by an upward trend. This
indicates the changes in bank loans to a large extent; for, although
general improvement in business, with an increased volume of production and an advance in prices, was noticeable beginning the first
part of the year, it was not until late in 1922 that the liquidation in
aggregate loans ceased. This situation reflects the decreased volume
of bank credit necessary to finance industry as a result of lowered
prices compared with 1920, and also the supplying of funds by continued loan liquidation to finance new business without noticeable
expansion in bank loans. The requirements for building operations
were especially heavy during the year.
Of vital importance in this district is the liquidation which took
place in 1922 in agricultural sections. While the readjustment in
agriculture necessarily was slower than that in other lines, increased
prices for farm products enabled the farmer to liquidate in 1922 to
such an extent that indications at the end of the year pointed to a
general financial recovery in these sections much sooner than was
expected a year previous.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS IN 1922
AS a result of further liquidation of loans to member banks, bills
A on hand at the close of 1922 were much reduced from those of a
year previous and reserves were correspondingly increased. Deposits also increased considerably, reflecting the increase in deposits
at member banks in the district during the year, for which reserves
were kept at this bank.

The profit and loss statement for 1922, after payment of $476,111
as a franchise tax to the Government, shows net profits of $929,104.
There was also paid to the Government, out of the earnings of 1921,
an additional $710,190, under a readjustment of the earnings of that
year, making a total franchise tax of $1,186,301 paid during the year
1922. These payments bring the total franchise tax paid to the
Government by this bank to $23,372,589.
DISCOUNT OPERATIONS IN 1922
OAN operations of this bank for the year 1922 were characterized
^ by a continuance of the liquidation started in 1921. Banks in
the agricultural districts, as well as those in the commerical and
industrial centers, shared in this liquidation. The accompanying
chart shows how general it has been when borrowings by states at
six months' intervals are considered. The seasonal effect of the
autumn requirements is evident in the increase in loans on December
30, 1922, over July 1, 1922.

Loans to Member Banks—Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

These operations reflect to a considerable extent the changes that
have taken place in the position of member banks during the year.
Good crops and favorable prices for cattle, together with a tendency
on the part of farmers to hold expenditures to the minimum, have
enabled farmer borrowers to reduce their bank indebtedness very
satisfactorily and as a result there has been a thawing out of the
large amount of frozen loans the banks held at the close of 1921.
There is also noticed an appreciable increase in foundation stock on
the farms, which had been reduced during 1920 and 1921. In some
cases, this stocking-up was made possible by bank loans which were
reflected to some extent in the increased borrowings by individual
banks at this bank.
In commercial and industrial lines, there has been a continued
effort to work off large inventories resulting in a substantial reduction
of indebtedness during 1922. This has effected a very material improvement in industrial and commercial concerns generally in this
district, especially in view of the fact that large charge-offs against
inventories were made on December 31, 1921. These factors working
in agricultural and industrial communities have resulted in a general
improvement in the character of bank assets.
The almost continuous decrease in loans to member banks during
the first eight months of 1922 is seen from the accompanying chart
showing changes as they appeared in the weekly statement. Detailed
statistics will be found in the appendix. From the high point of
$189,127,000 on January 4, loans to member banks decreased to
$49,075,000 on September 13, after which time increases were in
evidence. On December 31, 1921, total borrowings amounted to
$185,520,000 and on December 30, 1922, to $73,871,000, a net reduction for the year of $111,649,000.
Discount rates which were 5 per cent at the beginning of 1922 were




reduced to 4>£ per cent on all classes of paper on March 25, and this
rate was maintained for the remainder of the year. Applications for
rediscounts were received during the year from 1,129 banks out of the
total membership of 1,443. The number of banks accommodated
changed only slightly from 1921, when it was 1,191; but the volume of
loans decreased materially, amounting to $1,581,004,000 compared
with $4,168,477,000 in 1921. Detailed statistics showing volume of
loans by states will be found in Schedule 4 of the appendix.
COLLATERAL AND SAFEKEEPING OPERATIONS
liquidation by member banks of their
CONTINUED secured by United States Governmentbills payable
during 1922
obligations
brought about a large reduction in the amount of securities held as
collateral during the first seven months of the year, as will be seen
from the accompanying chart. At the beginning of the year, approximately $100,000,000 of Government securities were held as collateral; these holdings were reduced to approximately $70,000,000
at the close of the year. A part of this reduction may be attributed
to member banks disposing of a part of their securities on a favorSecurities Held as Collateral to Notes—1922

able market. The low point in the holding of securities, $42,000,000,
was reached during the month of August.
Service in safekeeping of securities not held as collateral was performed during 1922 for 598 member banks, or more than 40 per cent
of the total membership. The largest amount of securities held in
safekeeping during the year was $137,000,000, and the smallest
$79,000,000. The completion of the vaults in the new building makes
it possible to enlarge this service, which heretofore has been limited
to United States securities, and beginning January 2, 1923, negotiable
securities, owned by member banks in this district, will be accepted
for safekeeping.

After a period of decrease ending in July, holdings, while increasing
slightly, did not vary materially except at particular periods when
the effects of Government financing were in evidence. The amount
held on December 30, 1922, was $62,833,000.
A marked increase was shown in open market transactions, both

The Chicago market for United States Treasury Certificates and
Treasury Notes, which prior to last year was merely nominal, has
expanded greatly. There has been a large increase in the volume of
Liberty Bonds purchased and sold in this market; the volume of
United States Government bonds sold during the year is estimated
from reports received from dealers at about $1,400,000,000.
The call money market, created in 1921, representing loans secured
by United States Treasury Certificates, United States Treasury
Notes, and bankers' acceptances has been generously supplied with
funds by the Chicago banks, and is now on a well established basis.
In consequence, dealers have obtained funds from the open market to
a large extent to carry their stock of short-term Government securities, and the amount formerly advanced to them by this bank under
repurchase agreements has been correspondingly reduced.

by

summarized in

14, a decrease of 52 million from January 4. An increasing circulation
to meet autumn requirements was in evidence the latter part of the
year and the amount in circulation December 30 was $420,506,000,
a slight increase over the amount at the beginning of the year.
Deposits fluctuated considerably with an increasing trend, due largely
to increased reserve deposits by member banks.
Total cash reserves increased for the first eight months of the year,
ranging from a low point of $439,196,000 on January 25 to a high of
$590,552,000 on September 13. After that date the trend was downward, with reserves at $562,253,000 on December 30.
The ratio of reserves to deposit and Federal Reserve note liabilities
combined reflected these changes, ranging from a low of 70.3 per
cent on January 4 to a high of 89.4 on August 23. On December 30,
the ratio stood at 79.5 per cent.

FIDUCIARY POWERS
APPLICATIONS for trust powers from 33 banks under Section
-^*~ 11 (K) of the Act, were approved during 1922, including four
banks granted supplementary fiduciary powers. As seen from
Schedule 16 of the appendix, eight of these were in Illinois; twelve,
in Indiana; nine, in Iowa; and four in Wisconsin.

directors and officers of this bank advised regarding changes in business trends, is being developed in conformity with that in other Federal Reserve banks and under the supervision of the Division of Analysis
and Research of the Federal Reserve Board. Care has been taken to
avoid, where possible, duplication of the efforts of others engaged in
business research work; and also to standardize vital business statistics
so as to have available monthly only such data from identical concerns as will definitely reflect the trend in production and in merchandising and indicate the volume of credit used or required.
The value of this service is shown by the increased willingness of
producers and merchants to co-operate by furnishing confidential
data. The reporting service was extended in 1922 in order to cover
more completely variousfields,as follows: savings deposits, represented
by 219 banks; agriculture, represented by 227 reports from county
bureaus embracing a membership of approximately 200,000 farmers;
stoves and furnaces, represented by twenty-one firms; electric energy,
represented by thirteen firms; and building statistics gathered from
fifty-two cities.
In addition to the reporting service, a large volume of special
statistical information has been compiled for the Federal Reserve
Board and officers of this bank, as well as for other banks, firms, and
individuals.
A very complete reference library, owned by the bank, has proved
itself of such value in this work that in 1923 it is planned to enlarge
it through the co-operation of the Chicago Public Library by the
addition of such books as may seem advisable to be kept at the bank
for use in business research work.

PART TAKEN IN GOVERNMENT FINANCING
URING
Dshort-term1922 this bank continued to take an active part in the
Government financing program, distributing $328,792,000 of
the
Treasury Notes, $171,289,000 Treasury Certificates of
Indebtedness, and $74,962,000 Treasury Bonds of 1947-52.
In its capacity as Fiscal Agent, there were surrendered to it for
exchange, conversion, redemption, and other purposes, Government
securities amounting to $1,443,776,000 represented by 17,781,000
pieces. Against these surrenders deliveries of 608,000 pieces amounting to $1,331,188,000 were made. In handling the transactions with
banks, there were received 217,300 packages by registered mail, and
174,371 packages were shipped. While these statistics show a considerable decrease in operations from 1921, they do not include those
resulting from redemption and exchange of the 1918 series of War
Savings Certificates. A large volume of these redemptions was handled in December, 1922, because of arrangements made for forwarding
prior to the maturity date, January 1, 1923. This work will be reflected in the report for 1923. During the month a daily average of
1,900 registered mail shipments was received, and on December 16,
a high point of 3,600 was reached. In order to take care of the increase in work, it was necessary to employ a considerable number of
temporary clerks.
The work in Denominational Exchange continued heavy throughout the greater part of the year; but it decreased very markedly in
the latter part of the year when Liberty issues dropped below par.
As agent for the War Finance Corporation, advances were made to
268 banks amounting to $9,327,550. These advances were all made
prior to December 15, 1922. However, the work in connection with
the renewals and substitutions of collateral continued heavy.

December
the

of this bank in 1922 was confined to the promotion of sales of $1
Treasury Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates in denominations of $25, $100, and $1,000. Sales in 1922 showed a material
increase over the years 1920 and 1921, due largely to the increase in
their rate of interest and to the fact that an individual was allowed
to purchase amounts to $5,000 instead of $1,000. Effective October 1,
1922, the $1 Treasury Savings Stamp was withdrawn from the market,
leaving only Treasury Savings Certificates.
Between November 1 and December 31, efforts were confined almost exclusively to promoting the exchange of the new Certificates
for 1918 War Savings Stamps.

GOLD SETTLEMENT FUND
\ LARGER volume of balances was settled through the Gold
A Settlement Fund of this bank, during 1922 than 1921. Receipts
from other Federal Reserve banks amounted to $11,346,000,000,
compared with $8,900,000,000 in 1921; while payments were less than
receipts, resulting in a net gain of $66,000,000 from transactions between this district and other Federal Reserve districts. Detailed
statistics by weeks are shown in Schedule 8 of the appendix.
As a result of these transactions, together with deposits and withdrawals, the Gold Settlement Fund decreased from $79,130,000 on
December 31, 1921, to $77,261,000 on December 30, 1922.
POSITION OF MEMBER BANKS
of
banks during
THE most marked changes in the positiontimememberloans and dis1922 were increases in deposits, both
and demand, and in
investment in Government securities. Fluctuations in
counts up to September were largely due to changes in loans on stocks
and bonds, since liquidation of other loans continued very steadily
until fall requirements caused a seasonal increase. Detailed statistics
are shown in the appendix, based on reports from member banks in
leading cities of the district representing 64 per cent of member bank
resources and more than 40 per cent of the total banking resources of
the district. The reporting banks in Chicago for which separate
statistics are shown represent 98 per cent of member bank resources
and nearly 80 per cent of total banking resources of the city.
Considerable variation in the volume of payments by checks at
clearing-house banks in leading centers of the district is shown in
Schedule 10, but beginning with February, the aggregate for 21 centers
was larger for each month of 1922 than the corresponding month of
1921. The total volume for 1922 at these centers was 5.3 per cent
larger than for 1921.
The aggregate average reserve balance maintained by all member
banks of this district was in excess of the total legal requirement
throughout the year. The excess ranged from a low of 2.79 per cent
in November to a high of 6.89 per cent in May.

CLEARINGS AND COLLECTIONS
HECK clearing operations of this bank continued to increase
during 1922 at approximately the same rate as in the two preceding years. The total number of items handled was more than 78
million, an increase of 13.9 per cent over 1921. The corresponding
increase in 1921 compared with 1920 was 14.1 per cent. The amount
represented by these clearings in 1922, as in 1921, did not show a
16



corresponding relative increase over the preceding year owing to the
decrease in size of the average check. Checks handled in 1922 amounted
to $14,608,408,000, compared with $13,995,625,000 in 1921, an increase of 4.4 per cent. The average check (drawn on banks) was
$190.08 in 1922 compared with $207.46 in 1921 and $320.14 in 1920.
The largest number of items handled by this bank in a single day
since the establishment of the System was on November 13, 1922,
when there was a total of 447,138 items amounting to $83,564,000.
The increased volume of checks is being handled with a decrease in
the number of employees. More spacious quarters in the new building, the use of mechanical devices such as continuous conveyors between floors, and moving belts for carrying the work to central points,
have greatly facilitated the handling of checks.
Increased service of the bank in the collection of non-cash items is
shown in the accompanying table. In 1922, 624,895 items were handled compared with 411,897 in 1921, an increase of 51.7 per cent.
Amounts represented by these items aggregated $605,025,864 compared with $480,382,922 in 1921. There were also protested notes,
drafts and checks to the number of 13,260.

CASH AND CURRENCY OPERATIONS
HE cash operations
1922 continued to increase notwithstandTing the fact that theforcirculation of Federal Reserve notes was
considerably less than in 1921. Currency received amounted to
$1,175,234,000 as compared with $1,105,761,000 for the year 1921.
Payments for 1922 were $1,168,900,000 as compared with$959,969,000
for the previous year. Movements of currency and coin between outof-town member banks and this bank were more active. Shipments
to and from out-of-town banks during 1922 were 76,750 as compared
with 67,665 in 1921.

During the years 1920 and 1921, the available supply of silver and
minor coin far exceeded the demand, and coin in large volume accumulated. This condition, however, was completely reversed during
the last eight months of 1922, and the entire surplus stock of silver
and minor coin was paid out. Payments for 1922 were $15,031,000 as
compared with $8,117,000 for 1921. Deposits were $12,575,000 for
1922 as compared with $15,027,000 for 1921.

$7,601,969,000 in 1921. Transfers other than those over the leased
wire increased materially, making the total number of all transfers
handled by this bank 213,565 compared with 178,246 in 1921; the
total amount transferred was $13,904,999,000 in 1922 compared with
$9,284,101,000 in 1921.

John W.
caused by the resignation of Albert R. Erskine necessitated a special
election in the early part of 1923 for a Class " B " director, at which
Robert Mueller of Decatur, Illinois, was elected to fill the unexpired
term.
The* Board of Directors for the year 1923 will be constituted as
follows:
Class "A"—Elbert L. Johnson, Charles H. McNider, and George
M. Reynolds; Class "B"—Stanford T. Crapo, Robert Mueller, and
August H. Vogel; Class "C"—Frank C. Ball, William A. Heath,
and James Simpson. William A. Heath was again designated by the
Board as Chairman and Federal Reserve Agent for 1923, and James
Simpson as Deputy Chairman.
The Executive Committee for 1922 was composed of James B.
McDougal, Governor, William A. Heath, Federal Reserve Agent,
Charles H. McNider, George M. Reynolds, James Simpson, and
August H. Vogel. The Membership Committee was composed of the
Federal Reserve Agent, the Governor, and August H. Vogel; and the
Building Committee was composed of the Governor, the Chairman of
the Board, George M. Reynolds, James Simpson, and August H.
18



Vogel. These committees will serve the board of directors in 1923 as
constituted during the last year.
Allen R. LeRoy, formerly president of the First National Bank,
Manchester, Iowa, who has been with this bank since July 1, 1921,
was appointed Manager of Loans for Iowa, assuming his duties in
September.
While an increase in the number of employees was shown at the
close of 1922 over 1921, this was largely on account of increased fiscal
agency operations in December, incident to the redemption of War
Savings Certificates and Victory Notes; and of the additional force
necessary for the maintenance of the new building including the
cafeteria service. From the end of 1921 to November, 1922, a net reduction of nearly 160 had been effected in the number of employees
exclusive of the maintenance force.

was

the greater
of the year,
reflecting the continuance of the liquidation movement evidenced
during the latter half of 1921. During the last three months of the
year, however, discounts showed a decided increase as a result of
a considerable seasonal expansion of loans.
During the year 1922, the Transit Department handled a larger
volume of items than during 1921 with an aggregate amount considerably in excess of the 1921 business. The increase in volume is
entirely in the direction of items drawn on banks located in the Southern Peninsula of Michigan and in the city of Detroit. On points in
the Seventh District, outside of Michigan, and in other districts, a
decreased volume of business was handled.
The Collection Department, for the year 1922, handled a larger
number of items payable in the city of Detroit, although the amount
involved did not vary greatly from that representing similar transactions for the year 1921. On the other hand, the number of items
handled payable at points outside of the city of Detroit increased 135
per cent, for an amount 78 per cent greater than 1921. The amount of
transfers effected through the Detroit Branch continued to increase to
a great extent.
Currency operations for the year have shown an increase of 12 per
cent in receipt of deposits from member banks, and an increase of 23
per cent in payments. These increases contrast with the decrease
during the year 1921 in both receipts and payments.
Fiscal agency operations again presented a decrease in volume.
