OF DALLAS

Dallas, Texas, November 20, 1956

CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, SEPTEMBER 26, 1956
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE DISTRICT

To the Member Banks in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

Total resources of member banks in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District reached $9,749,592,000
on September 26, 1956, which is $419,964,000 higher than a year earlier. More than half of this
gain— or $221,603,000—was channeled into new earning assets, while most of the remainder was
used to build up cash and balances with other banks. All classes of deposits participated in the
year-to-year gain, and capital accounts rose $68,717,000, or about 10 percent.
Loans provided most of the gain in earning assets, although the member banks also made
modest additions to their investment portfolios. Net loans outstanding advanced to $3,887,613,000 on
September 26, reflecting an increase of $192,831,000 over October 5, 1955. Commercial and industrial
borrowing accounted for more than two-thirds of the gain, while real-estate credit, loans to finance
securities transactions, and unclassified loans also increased. Consumer borrowing, influenced by
liquidation of single-payment loans, declined during the year; and agricultural loans also were lower,
primarily because of the reduction in CCC loans. The ratio of loans to deposits rose to 43.8 percent
from 43.1 percent on the comparable 1955 date.
During the year, total deposits of member banks expanded by $306,440,000, with about twothirds of the gain occurring in the demand and time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corpo­
rations. As the banks’ Government securities, cash, and capital rose significantly, the ratio of capital
accounts to risk assets rose to 15.7 percent on September 26, 1956, from 15.0 percent a year earlier.
Yours very truly,
