F e d e r a l R e s e r v e Ba n k OF DALLAS Dallas, Texas, March 16,1946 To all Banking Institutions in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: On September 16, 1989— shortly after the outbreak of the European war—this bank established a discount rate of 1% per annum on advances to nonmember banks secured by direct obligations of the United States. The continuation of that rate is now considered unnecessary, and has there fore been eliminated, effective March 16, 1946. The 2% rate applicable to advances to individuals, partnerships, and corporations, secured by direct obligations of the United States, is being continued and will hereafter apply to such advances to nonmember banks. There is enclosed a copy of Bulletin No. 1, dated March 16, 1946, which sets forth all of the rates on discounts, advances, and commitments now in effect at this bank. Banks which are members of the Federal Reserve Sys tem should insert this bulletin in the ring binder previously furnished them, in place of Bulletin No. 1, dated October 17, 1942.
