C O N D IT IO N O F MEMBER BANKS. M A R C H 12, 1959
ELEVENTH FEDERAL RESERVE D IS TR IC T

To the Member Banks in the
Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
The results of the spring statement of condition, as of March 12, for Eleventh Federal
Reserve District member banks are summarized on the reverse side of this letter, together
with certain historical data for comparative purposes.
Between March 4, 1958, and March 12, 1959, all asset categories of member banks
increased. Considerable expansion occurred in both loans and investments. Every major
loan classification rose except loans to banks and loans for purchasing or carrying secur­
ities, but four-fifths of the gain in total loans represented credit extended to business
borrowers. Real-estate loans, agricultural loans, and loans to individuals all participated
substantially in the balance of the increase. The rise in investments was primarily
accounted for by additional holdings of United States Government securities.
Deposit growth paralleled the increase in assets, the gain being shared almost equally
between demand deposits and time deposits. Capital accounts also rose.
The ratio of loans to total deposits decreased from 46.0 percent to 45.0 percent,
and the ratio of cash and interbank balances to total deposits also declined.

Yours very truly.
Watrous H. Irons
President
