W e present herewith statement showing condition of the Federal Reserve Bank of Min­

In the near future there will be forwarded to you by the Chairman of our Board of

Our ability to handle such a large volume of work is due largely to the splendid
co-operation given us by our member banks, and we take this opportunit)' to thank you for
what you have done.




Yours respectfully,
