C O N D IT IO N A N D INCO M E OF MEMBER BANKS
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT

To All Member Banks
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

Most of the major balance sheet and income and expense items increased markedly during
1968 at member banks in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District. Rapid expansion in the
economy and record interest rates contributed to this development. Inflows of both demand
deposits and, particularly, of time deposits were quite large. With heavy deposit inflows, the
District’s member banks expanded their loans more rapidly than in any previous year of this
decade and also added to their investment portfolios. Total assets of the District’s member
banks were $22.3 billion as of December 31, 1968, up 12.1 percent from December 30, 1967.
Net current operating earnings of District member banks rose $38.1 million, or 16.5
percent, in 1968, almost double the gain in the previous year. Total current operating revenue
advanced $152.1 million, or 17.2 percent, as both interest and dividends on securities and
interest and discount on loans rose about 17 percent. Current operating expenses also increased
rapidly, advancing $114.0 million, or 17.5 percent. Interest payments on time and savings
deposits, by far the largest single expense item, rose 20.4 percent, reflecting both larger
amounts of these deposits and higher effective rates.
Total credit extended by the District’s member banks last year advanced $1.9 billion, or
12.4 percent, somewhat above the gain in 1967. Loan demand was quite strong, with total
loans rising more than 14 percent. The increase in loans was fairly general throughout the
major loan categories. However, gains in real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans,
and loans for purchasing or carrying securities were particularly noticeable and accounted
for 60 percent of the loan advance over the year-earlier total. Credit extended under credit
card arrangements and related plans almost doubled last year. Investments in obligations of
state and local governments surged, increasing 18.7 percent, but holdings of U.S. Government
obligations showed little change.
Total deposits at the District’s member banks increased about $1.9 billion, or 10.7 percent,
during 1968. Demand deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations expanded 8.5
percent, slightly below the 1967 gain. IPC time deposits, however, rose 13.6 percent, as large
certificates of deposit increased sharply. In addition, borrowings by the District’s member
banks also rose, principally reflecting increased purchases of Federal funds. Borrowings totaled
$742 million on December 31, 1968, which was almost double the amount on December 30, 1967.
These borrowings equaled 46 percent of capital accounts at the end of 1968, compared with
only 25 percent a year earlier.
Reflecting the rapid increase in loans, the ratio of total loans to total deposits advanced
to a level of 57.0 percent on December 31, 1968. Moreover, the ratio of total capital accounts
to risk assets fell almost one full percentage point and was 11.0 percent on December 31, 1968.
Yours very truly,
P. E. Coldwell

President
