Assets of member banks in the District rose $167 million in 1959, reaching a new high
of $11.8 billion on December 31. The annual increase of 1.4 percent compared with a gain
of 9.4 percent in 1958. Net earnings from current operations were almost 14 percent
higher than in the previous year, but net profits were lower, partly as a result of losses
on securities transactions.
Asset expansion during 1959 stemmed principally from larger borrowings and addi­
tions to capital accounts. Deposits rose only nominally, as an advance in time deposits was
almost offset by a year-to-year decline in demand balances. Although less than 1 percent
above the deposit level for December 31, 1958, total deposits of $10.7 billion at the end of
1959 represented a record high.
Loan demand was strong during 1959, and member banks added $249 million to gross
loan accounts. Most of this gain was concentrated in consumer loan and business loan
categories. Moderate investment liquidation was required to finance the loan expansion.
Total investments declined $75 million, although a somewhat larger decrease occurred in
holdings of Government securities.
The ratio of loans to deposits on December 31, 1959, was 45.5 percent, compared with
43.3 percent a year earlier.
Yours very truly.

President
