CHANGES IN THE NUMBER OF NATIONAL AND STATE BANKS
1921-1936

During the years 1921-1936 the number of
national and State banks 1 in operation decreased by 14,238, from 29,206 at the beginning of 1921 to 14,968 at the end of 1936. The
number of national banks decreased during
the 16-year period from 8,124 to 5,325, or by
2,799, and the number of State banks decreased from 21,082 to 9,643, or by 11,439.
The net decrease of 14,238 during the
period 1921-1936 in the number of operating
national and State banks is accounted for
principally by the suspension of 14,344 banks,
the consolidation, merger, or absorption of
6,852 banks, and the liquidation of 1,141
banks. The decreases were offset in part by
the organization of 4,601 new banks during
the period, the reopening of 1,905 suspended
banks, and the licensing and reopening of
1,233 banks which were not granted licenses
by June 30, 1933 and were counted as suspensions in 1933.
Of the 4,601 new banks which were organized 2 during the period, 1,437 were national banks and 3,164 were State banks. The
number of national banks discontinued
through consolidation, merger or absorption
during the period was 2,054 and the number
of State banks thus discontinued was 4,798.
The 14,344 suspensions in the 16-year period
comprised 2,719 national banks and 11,625
State banks. There were conversions of 617
State banks into national banks and 254 conversions of national banks into State banks
during the 16-year period.
The tabulations that follow analyze changes
in the number of national banks and State
banks during 1921-1936 by years and by
States. The various classifications of changes
in the number of banks are defined in the following paragraphs.
A primary organization represents the
chartering of a newly organized bank. A primary organization can usually be distinguished without difficulty from a consolidation, merger, absorption, succession or conversion of a going bank, in spite of the fact
that any of these transactions may require the
issuance of a new charter, but it is frequently
difficult to distinguish from a reopening. The

These figures exclude new banks organized to succeed operating banks ; for the years 1933-1936, however, they include new
banks organized to succeed unlicensed national and State banks.

extent to which the stockholding interests, assets and deposits of a suspended bank continued intact was the important factor in determining whether to classify the bank as a
primary organization or a reopening. For the
years 1933-1936, however, the figures of primary organizations include all new banks organized to succeed unlicensed national and
State banks, because it was not practicable to
determine from available information the extent to which the stockholding interests, assets and deposits of the unlicensed banks continued intact in the new bank. If a suspended
national bank reopened as a State bank, or
vice versa, it was considered a primary organization and not a reopening. A new bank
chartered to succeed an operating bank was
not counted as a primary organization.
A conversion constitutes the issuance to an
active bank of a national charter to supersede
a State charter under which it has previously
been operating, or of a State charter to supersede a national charter. In other words, a
charter in one system is given up and a
charter in another system is procured. A conversion from a private bank constitutes the
issuance of a national or State charter to an
existing private bank. A conversion to a private bank constitutes the surrender by an incorporated national or State bank of its
charter and continuance of its business as an
unincorporated enterprise.
Only simple conversions looking towards
permanent operation under the newly issued
charter and involving no other change in
status were included in this category. Some
conversions are effected merely as a necessary
legal step in a consolidation, merger, or absorption, the new charter being surrendered
shortly after the conversion. In such cases a
conversion was not regarded as having occurred but rather a consolidation, merger or
absorption, with the exception that if the temporary bank's existence ran over the end of
the calendar year it was considered as a conversion in the year in which it occurred and
as a consolidation, merger or absorption in
the year following. This was necessary in
order to make the status of changes agree, insofar as practicable, with the number of banks
shown in year-end abstracts of condition reports.

NOVEMBER 1937

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN

A reopening of a suspended bank (other
than an unlicensed bank) constitutes the resumption of operations by a bank which had
previously suspended. The reopening may be
accompanied by a change of name and the
issuance of a new charter and still be classed
as a reopening rather than as a primary organization. For the years 1933-1936, however, all new banks organized to succeed unlicensed national and State banks have been
classed as primary organizations rather than
as reopenings, because it was not practicable
to determine from available information the
extent to which the stockholding interests,
assets and deposits of the unlicensed bank
continued intact in the new bank. A reopening under a single charter of two or more
suspended banks was classed as a single reopening. In cases where a national bank reopened as a State bank, or vice versa, the
transaction was counted as a primary organization and not as a reopening.
A reopening of an unlicensed bank constitutes the resumption of operations by a bank
which had not been granted a license to reopen following the banking holiday (in March
1933) by June 30, 1933. Unlicensed banks
which were granted licenses to reopen between March 15 and June 30, 1933, have not
been included in the tabulations (either as
suspensions or reopenings). All banks not
granted licenses to, reopen by June 30, 1933,
have been included among suspensions, and
any of such banks which subsequently were
granted licenses to reopen have been considered as reopenings of unlicensed banks.
A suspension constitutes the closing of a
bank to the public, either temporarily or permanently, by supervisory authorities or by
the bank's board of directors on account of
financial difficulties, whether on a so-called
moratorium basis or otherwise, unless the
closing was under a special holiday declared
by civil authorities. If a bank closed under
a special holiday declared by civil authorities
and remained closed only during such holiday or part thereof, it has not been counted
as a suspension. Banks which, without actually closing, obtained agreements from depositors to waive a portion of their deposits
or to defer the withdrawal of a portion of
their deposits have not been classed as suspensions. Banks which were reopened or
taken over by other institutions after suspension have been included as suspensions. The
figures for 1933 include all banks not granted




1085

licenses following the banking holiday in
March 1933 which were subsequently placed
in liquidation or receivership (including unlicensed banks absorbed or succeeded by other
banks), and all other unlicensed banks which
had not been granted licenses to reopen by
June 30, 1933.
A consolidation, merger or absorption represents the corporate union of two or more
going banks into one bank which continues
under a single charter, whether new or old.
The term is used not in a legal or technical
sense but in an economic sense, the essential
factor being that the business of two or more
going banks becomes concentrated under one
charter and one management. Banks absorbed by other banks and converted into
branches have been counted as consolidations,
mergers or absorptions. This classification
also includes cases in which a given bank was
absorbed by two or more banks which distributed its business among themselves and cases
in which the assets and liabilities of a weak
bank were transferred to another bank in
order to avoid suspension. The figures shown
for this classification represent the number
of banks that went out of existence or were
converted into branches by reason of consolidations, mergers or absorptions, i. e., the continuing or absorbing banks are not counted.
A voluntary liquidation constitutes the
voluntary discontinuance of operations and
the surrender of its charter by an active bank.
Voluntary liquidations legally incidental to
conversions or consolidations, mergers or absorptions have not been counted separately
as liquidations but have been included among
conversions or among consolidations, mergers or absorptions. If a bank transferred
its assets, or the greater portion of them, to
another bank under an agreement whereby
the latter assumed the liabilities of the former, the change was classified as a consolidation, merger or absorption, not as a liquidation.
Unclassified changes include all cases in
which, because of lack of essential data or because of special circumstances involved in the
change, it was impossible to classify the
change under any of the headings shown in
the tables. In order that the increases and
decreases might be reconciled with the actual
net increase or decrease during the period in
the number of banks, minor differences not
accounted for were shown as "Unclassified."
The number of "Unclassified" changes was

1086

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN

larger in 1933 than in any other year as a result of the numerous and, in some cases, involved changes in the status of banks, also
because of the temporary disruption of the
reporting services following the banking holiday. The number of "Unclassified" changes
is very small, however, in relation to the num-




NOVEMBER 1937

ber of other types of changes and in relation
to the net reduction of more than 14,000 banks
during the 16-year period 1921-1936, which
the tabulations were designed to analyze. All
unclassified changes occurred with respect to
State banks and none with respect to national
banks.

but could not be included in the figures shown for earlier years because of lack of essential data.
• Includes 324 banks suspended January 1-March 4, 35 banks placed in receivership during the banking holiday (March 6 to 15), 160 licensed
banks suspended March 16-December 31, and 2,271 unlicensed banks treated as suspensions following the banking holiday. The last figure comprises 1,187 unlicensed banks which were placed in liquidation or receivership, 1,074 unlicensed banks which were not granted licenses to reopen
until subsequent to June 30, 1933, and 10 banks which had neither been placed in liquidation or receivership nor had been licensed to reopen by
December
31, 1936.
7
Except unlicensed banks placed in "voluntary" liquidation.
NOTE.—The number of State banks in operation as shown in this analysis differs somewhat from the number included in compilations regularly
published by the Board under the heading "All banks in the United States" (see table on page 1133 of this FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN). The differences are due principally to the exclusion from this analysis and the inclusion in the "All bank" compilations of the following classes of financial
institutions which were included in State abstracts of condition reports and, consequently, in the "All bank" figures compiled therefrom: (a) mutual
savings banks, (b) private banks under State supervision or reporting to State banking departments, (c) a few banks which had been absorbed by
other banks or otherwise placed in liquidation but were still included in State banking department abstracts, and (d) a few banks operating under
restrictions. To some extent also the differences are due to the fact that one or more State banking departments did not make a call for condition
reports as of the end of the year, making it necessary to include an abstract as of a prior call date. The available information as to bank changes
covering the earlier years made it impossible to effect an exact reconcilement with the State banking abstracts. The "All bank" compilations
published by the Board showed 21,326 State banking institutions of all kinds at the end of 1923, the first time such compilations were made by the
Board, and 10,347 (revised to include 44 Morris Plan and industrial banks in New York and North Carolina) at the end of 1936, compared with
20,217 and 9,643 State banks shown in this table. The differences of 1,109 and 704, respectively, represent principally mutual savings banks, which
declined from 630 to 565 during the 13-year period 1923-1936, and private banks reporting to State banking departments which declined from approximately 460 to 134 during the same period.
The differences between the number of State banks on December 31,1935 as shown in this analysis and the total number of non-national banks
of all classes as of the same date shown in table 1 on page 782 of the August 1937 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN are due to the exclusion from this
analysis and the inclusion in the table referred to of (a) 567 mutual savings banks, (b) 234 private banks, (c) 1 State operated bank in North Dakota,
and (d) 1 Deposit -Insurance National bank in Pennsylvania authorized to accept deposits.
While this analysis might have been changed so as to agree exactly either with the latest published "All bank" figures or with thefigurespublished on page 782 of the August 1937 BULLETIN, the available information would not permit an exact reconcilement to be made for earlier years.
The differences referred to are of relatively minor importance, however, and do not appreciably affect the value of the tabulations, the primary
purpose of which is to account statistically for the net reduction of more than 14,000 banks during the 16-year period 1921-1936, rather than to show
the number of banks in operation at the beginning and end of each year.
