CONDITION AND INCOME OF MEMBER BANKS
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT

To All M ember B anks
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve D istrict:
Bank revenues and expenses and total bank credit registered substantial increases a t
m em ber banks in the Eleventh F ederal Reserve D istrict d u rin g 1967. The easing of
m onetary policy and the persistence of high levels of in te rest rate s w ere m ajo r factors
contributing to these developments. W ith rapid grow th in deposits, m em ber banks in the
D istrict added heavily to th e ir investm ent holdings (especially investm ents in non-U.S.
Governm ent securities) and expanded th e ir loan portfolios substantially. Total assets of
th e D istrict m em ber banks rose $1.8 billion to a to tal of $19.9 billion on December 30,
1967, reflecting a gain of m ore th a n 10 percent over the previous year-end.
N et income of D istrict m em ber banks rose 11.4 percent during 1967, about th e sam e
percentage increase as in 1966. Total c u rren t operating revenue advanced 10.7 percent
($85.3 m illion), w ith gains of 13.1 percent ($22.0 million) in in te rest and dividends on
securities and 9.8 percent ($53.1 million) in in te rest and discount on loans. On th e expense
side, in te rest paid on tim e and savings deposits rose 16.1 percent ($37.9 million) and was
th e m ajo r fac to r in th e 11.1-percent ($65.2 million) gain in to tal c u rren t operating
expenses. In 1966 th is item of expense showed a gain of 24 percent.
Credit expansion a t D istrict m em ber banks in 1967 totaled $1.4 billion, or 10.4 p er­
cent, m ore th a n twice th e percentage increase in 1966. M ember banks added heavily to
th e ir holdings of obligations of sta te s and political subdivisions ($256.2 million, or 13.6
percent) and U.S. Governm ent securities ($254.6 million, or 10.8 percent), as yields on
these issues w ere relatively a ttra c tiv e and funds w ere available. Also, loan portfolios
expanded $767 million, or 8.5 percent. A lthough th e rise in credits extended to commercial
and industrial firms accounted fo r alm ost one-half of th e total gain, notable increases
w ere recorded in loans to individuals and financial institutions and credits secured by
real estate.
Total deposits a t th e D istrict’s m em ber banks increased $1.6 billion, or 10.2 percent,
in 1967. In co n tra st to th e experience of o th er recent years, th e rise of 8.9 percent ($888
million) in dem and deposits contributed im portantly to total deposit expansion. P a rtly
reflecting th e unusually high ra te of personal savings during th e y e a r and also th e a ttra c ­
tiveness of tim e deposit rate s relative to open m ark e t ra te s during m uch of th e year, tim e
and savings deposits of individuals, partn erships, and corporations advanced 14.4 percent.
Reflecting th e rebuilding of liquidity by D istrict banks, th e ratio of total loans
to total deposits declined from 56.0 percent on December 31, 1966, to 55.2 percent on
December 30, 1967. The ratio of total capital accounts to risk assets declined from 12.3
percent on December 31, 1966, to 11.8 percent on December 30, 1967.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell
President
