CONDITION AND INCOME OF MEMBER BANKS
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT

To All Member Banks
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District
Total credit and net income increased substantially during 1970 at member banks in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District. These increases reflected mainly sizeable deposit inflows
and the relatively high interest rates prevailing over much of the year. But loan demand at
banks was rather modest, as was the pace of economic activity generally, and banks employed a
large portion of the deposit inflows to increase their holdings of securities — both to rebuild
depleted liquidity positions and to take advantage of attractively priced long-term securities.
Total credit outstanding advanced $2.2 billion during 1970, or an increase of 12.8 percent.
This was the largest increase in credit for any year in the postwar period. And while total loans
outstanding rose by $1.4 billion, or 11.2 percent, nearly two-thirds of this increase represented
loans to financial institutions, largely in the form of Federal funds sales to other commercial
banks. Loan demands from other sectors of the economy were quite modest. Commercial and
industrial loans rose by 4.5 percent, real estate loans by 2.6 percent, and agricultural loans by
.3 percent. Outstanding loans associated with credit card plans doubled, but declines in other
consumer loans more than offset this increase.
In view of the lackluster loan demand and the sizable inflow of deposits, District member
banks increased their holdings of securities by 16.4 percent, again the largest annual increase
in the postwar period. About half of this advance represented net acquisitions of obligations
of states and political subdivisions. With the large volume of such securities coming to market,
the yields of these securities were quite attractive. Banks also added substantially to their
holdings of other securities, with the exception of U.S. Government obligations which rose only
nominally.
Total deposits at District member banks rose by $1.9 billion during 1970, for nearly a 10percent increase. N et inflows of time and savings deposits accounted for almost two-thirds of
this advance. Depostis of the U.S. Government and of state and political subdivisions also rose
fairly rapidly. Demand deposits of individuals, however, increased only by a relatively small
amount.
Net income of District member banks was $30.1 million greater in 1970 than in 1969, an
increase of about 16 percent. This rise reflected in part the $158.1 million, or 12.6 percent,
increase in total operating income. Interest and fees on loans continued to make up the bulk of
the rise in operating income. However, in percentage terms, the category “all other operating
income”— which includes income from Federal funds sales — showed the largest increase,
rising by 37.5 percent. Total operating expenses advanced by $133.4 million, or 13.9 percent.
Interest on time and savings deposits remained the largest single item in both dollar and per­
centage terms in the increase in total operating expenses.
Yours very truly,

P. E. Coldwell
President
