CHANGE IN M ETH OD OF R EPO RTIN G DEPOSITS FOR
R E SE R V E PU RPOSES

To the Member Banks in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
In order to conform to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, as amended April 13, 1943, it is necessary to re­
vise the form now being used in reporting deposits for reserve purposes.
A copy of the revised form is enclosed. You will observe that the new form
provides that “War Loan Deposits of United States Government” shall be
deducted from gross demand deposit liabilities. In addition, the revised
form provides for the following breakdown of gross demand deposits:
(a) Demand deposits of banks
(b) Other demand deposits (including War Loan deposits and all
other United States Government deposits)
Please refer to the reverse of the form for the method to be followed
in arriving at deposit liabilities for reserve purposes.
Please furnish the deposit figures of your bank on the enclosed form
for the period beginning April 13, 1943, to the close of the reserve period—
April 16 for reserve city banks and April 15 for all other banks. (A special
report for the portion of the period indicated is necessary even though
figures for those dates may have already been furnished on the old form.)
A supply of the new form will be forwarded to your bank just as soon as
received from the printer. To avoid confusion, please destroy all of the
old forms now on hand.
A copy of the amendment to Regulation D is enclosed for insertion in
the ring binder containing the current bulletins of this bank and the regu­
lations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
