This article presents an analysis of factors
which supply reserves to the banking system of
the Twelfth Federal Reserve District and of the
uses to which those reserves are put. The ap­
proach is similar to that employed by the Fed­
eral Reserve Board in analyzing the credit situ­
ation in the United States as a whole. Such a
presentation facilitates an understanding of the
means by which commercial banks, both in this
district and in the United States, are able to
meet both ordinary and extraordinary demands.
It is particularly helpful in explaining the abil­
ity of the banking system to meet such unusual
changes as those which took place in demand
for currency and gold during February and
March of this year and at different times in
1931 and 1932.
During 1931 and 1932 the volume of currency
outstanding increased markedly throughout the
country, partly in response to such factors as
an increased use of cash as a result of bank sus­
pensions, the tax on checks, and the imposition
by banks of service charges on small checking
accounts, but principally as a result of hoarding
of currency. The increase in hoarding became
spectacular late in February, 1933, when for a
few days withdrawals of currency amounted to
about $200,000,000 daily. This movement of
currency into hoarding was one of the most im­
portant influences in the credit situation, both
in its effect upon the position of the commer­
cial banks of the country and upon the opera­
tions of the Federal reserve banks.
Changes in the volume of reserve bank credit
outstanding, other than those resulting from
fluctuations in the legally required reserve bal­
ances of member banks, reflect chiefly changes
in the monetary gold stock of the country and
in the volume of money in circulation, al­
though at times they may reflect other factors
in the currency and credit system such as
changes in the amount of currency issued by
the United States Treasury or changes in the
amount of funds disbursed through certain
other types of Treasury operations. Operations
of the latter type have been relatively impor­
tant in their effect upon the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District credit situation during recent
years. In recognition of the close relationship
between these various financial factors and
credit developments, the weekly statement of
condition of the Federal reserve banks, re­
leased by the Federal Reserve Board in W ash­
ington and published in the press, presents
statistics showing the total volume of money
in circulation, the total monetary gold stock of
the country, and other relevant items, as well
as Federal reserve statistics such as the
volume of reserve balances held by member

banks at the reserve banks and the volume of
reserve bank credit outstanding.* By use of
all these figures, which are shown for the
United States during the period 1929-1933 in the
charts on page 3, it is possible to make a com­
plete statement each week of the principal fac­
tors affecting the volume of Federal reserve
credit.
An example of the use of these figures in
judging the relative effect of different factors
on national credit conditions is offered in the
following table which compares the items for
March 8, 1933, with those for February 8, 1933.
During this period, that phase of the banking
strain which began with the closing of banks
in Michigan culminated in a nation-wide bank
holiday. The heavy foreign and domestic drain
on gold reserves of the Federal reserve banks
and the hoarding of currency which accom­
panied these developments produced an acute
crisis which severely strained the entire bank­
ing structure. A t that time “ circulation” of
money reached an all-time peak, necessitating
the use of record amounts of reserve bank
credit.

and “ other” deposits with the reserve banks. The
sum ($2,179,000,000) of these four factors—
domestic demand for currency, exports of gold,
withdrawals of Treasury funds from the money
market, and increases in unexpended capital
funds and in non-member bank and “ other” de­
posits— constituted the demands upon commer­
cial banks for funds during the four-week period
under review. The immediate effect of these
demands was to reduce the balances of member
banks carried with the reserve banks, for mem­
ber banks come to the reserve banks to obtain
both currency and gold, which they pay for with
drafts drawn upon their deposit accounts at
the reserve banks. In spite of this drain of
$2,179,000,000, the reduction in member bank
reserve balances was but $619,000,000, because
additional reserve funds were being placed at
the disposal of banks by the Federal reserve
system. The most important means of securing
funds was through direct borrowing at the re­
serve banks, although the reserve system also
purchased a substantial amount of bills and
some United States Government securities in
the open market. In all, reserve system credit
expanded by $1,559,000,000 between February
8 and March 8, which, together with the net
withdrawal of $619,000,000 by member banks
from their deposits at the reserve banks, sup­
plied the funds required to meet the heavy
drains upon the commercial banking structure.
These requirements, as stated before, came al­
most entirely in the form of demand for cur­
rency for hoarding and for gold for export.
Twelfth District credit conditions and their
contribution to the national credit situation are
indicated by a similar analysis for this district
as shown in the following table.

Demand for currency within the Twelfth Dis­
trict increased by $96,000,000 between February
8 and March 8, 1933. In addition, district banks
were called upon to supply $5,200,000 (shown
as “ Treasury operations” in the table) for trans­
fer out of the district because local collections
of the United States Treasury on account of
taxes, borrowings, and from other sources ex­
ceeded disbursements of the Treasury in this




area.* A further small drain upon district bank­
ing reserves came in the form of increases total­
ing $5,500,000 in unexpended capital funds of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and
in non-member clearing and “other” deposits at
that bank. These three items— increased de­
mand for currency, net Treasury transfers out
of the district, and increased unexpended capi­
tal funds and non-member deposits at the Re­
serve Bank— represented an aggregate require­
ment of $106,700,000 for additional banking re­
serves which was met by a combination of sev­
eral different methods. First of all, district
member banks withdrew funds on deposit with
banks outside the district. These funds, to­
gether with transfers for the accounts of individ­
uals and business houses, resulted in a net gain
of $41,700,000 (shown as “ commercial opera­
tions” in the table) in banking reserves for the
district during the four-week period under re­
view. Member banks also withdrew $15,100,000
from their reserve accounts at the Federal Re­
serve Bank of San Francisco, representing
partly a use of excess reserves which some
banks had been carrying. In addition to obtain­
ing funds from these two sources, banks found
it necessary to borrow $49,900,000 from the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in or­
der to meet the total need for $106,700,000 of
funds. These changes demonstrate the flexi­
bility of the banking structure and illustrate
how increases or decreases in any single factor
affecting the uses of banking reserves must be
offset by changes in other factors so as to pre­
serve a balance between the requirements for
and sources of funds. The charts on page 5
show the changes in each of these items from
January, 1929, to the present time.
Although credit developments in the district
are affected by the same general influences that
affect the national situation, there are a number
of technical differences between district figures
and national figures. In a Federal reserve dis­
trict, for example, the total amount of currency
in circulation cannot be computed, but current
changes in demand for currency are available.
Statistics of currency within the Twelfth Dis­
trict, therefore, are shown in the table and on
the charts in terms of increases or decreases
during a given period and not in terms of total
circulation.
Similarly, changes in district factors corre­
sponding to monetary gold stock in the national
analysis are available only in terms of changes
between different dates. Except in the New York
and San Francisco districts, the effect of im­
ports and exports of gold at ports of entry
within a single Federal reserve district is
usually relatively unimportant. Changes in dis*The reverse situation has been true during the past four years, the
United States Treasury having disbursed in the Twelfth District
substantially greater amounts than it has collected in this area,
the difference having been made up by transfers into the Twelfth
District of funds collected in other parts of the United States.

trict gold holdings are affected to a greater ex­
tent by transactions which go through the Gold
Settlement Fund maintained in Washington by
the reserve system for settling balances between
Federal reserve districts.
The volume of Federal reserve credit is meas­
urable in total amount, but that factor is also
shown in terms of changes over a stated period
in order to be on a comparable basis with the
other factors. The changes in reserve bank
credit as shown in this analysis do not neces­
sarily coincide with changes in credit extended
by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
as reported in the weekly statement of condi­
tion. This is because the amount of reserve
credit extended locally is ordinarily less than
the total amount of credit extended by the Fed­
eral Reserve Bank of San Francisco, since the
latter amount includes bills and securities pur­
chased for the account of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco in the open market out­
side the Twelfth District, chiefly in New York.
A short explanation of each of the items ac­
counting for changes in member bank reserves
within the Twelfth District during the four
weeks from February 8 to March 8,1933, is pre­
sented in the following paragraphs.
Demand for Currency. The increase of $96,000,000 in demand for currency during this
period reflected thé requirements of all banks
in the district and paralleled the national in­
crease of $1,833,000,000 in currency demand. As
in the country as a whole, there were substan­
tial withdrawals of bank deposits in cash for
private hoardings. Currency was obtained
chiefly by member banks through drafts on their
reserve balances at the reserve banks. In mak­
ing these drafts the member banks met the de­
mands of non-member banks as well as of the
general public. The reserve banks are the chief
source of supply of currency. The remainder is
issued by the Treasury, but most of it except
national bank notes, reaches the public through
the Federal reserve banks acting as fiscal agents
for the United States Government.
Commercial Operations. Transactions of a
commercial and financial nature, involving pay­
ments to or receipts from areas outside the dis­
trict, resemble settlements in international
trade for the country as a whole, the net gain
or loss corresponding to the nation’s balance
of payments. These transactions are cleared
through the Gold Settlement Fund and are an
important factor affecting that which, for the
individual reserve district, corresponds to the
monetary gold stock of the country as a whole.
During the four-week period under review there
was a net inflow of $41,700,000, the loss of
funds to other districts because of payments
for goods, services, investments, and interest
charges, having been more than offset by the
transfers of deposits of banks and individuals
from places outside the district to local institu­




tions. Although these inter-district commer­
cial and financial transactions resulted in a net
gain to the Twelfth District during the period
from February 8 to March 8, 1933, the cus­
tomary relationship during recent years has
been the reverse. For example, during 1929,
1930, 1931, and 1932 individuals and business
houses of this area were almost constantly send­
ing more money out of the district in payment
for goods, services, investments, and interest
and in transfers of bankers' deposits than was
being received, the net loss of funds to the
Twelfth District because of this movement dur­
ing these four years having totaled $394,000,000.
Outgoing payments for goods, services, invest­
ments, and interest are made by check or draft
on Twelfth District banks and forwarded to
firms and individuals located in other districts.
These checks or drafts are deposited in banks
in other districts and are collected from Twelfth
District banks chiefly through the Federal re­
serve banks by way of the Gold Settlement
Fund. The checks are forwarded to the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco or its branches,
from which they are forwarded for payment to
the local banks on which they are drawn. Pay­
ment by district member banks is made by
drawing on balances at the reserve banks; as
is the case when obtaining currency, non-member banks usually remit through balances at
correspondent member banks, although in some
cases they maintain accounts at the reserve
bank for clearing purposes. The proceeds col­
lected in this way are remitted through the Gold
Settlement Fund to the banks in the districts
that forwarded the checks and drafts for collec­
tion. Similarly bankers’ balances which are
being sent into or out of the district for deposit
or investment by other banks are transferred
by wire through the operation of the Federal
reserve system's Gold Settlement Fund and the
amounts charged or credited as the case may be
to the reserve balance of the Twelfth District
member bank involved in the transaction.
The charges on the reserve balances arising
from inter-district payments are constantly be­
ing offset to a small extent through domestic
gold production and the net import direct to
the district of gold from abroad. Imports from
abroad, if they are in the form of United States
gold coin, are usually deposited with the Fed­
eral reserve bank by a member bank, to be
credited to the depositing bank's reserve ac­
count. Other imported or locally produced gold
is generally sold to the United States Mint in
San Francisco or to the United States assay
offices located in other cities of the district.
These offices pay for the gold chiefly by checks
drawn on the account of the Treasurer of the
United States with the reserve bank. These
checks, upon being deposited, are forwarded for
payment to the Federal reserve bank, which
is the fiscal agent of the United States Treas-

FACTORS A F F E C T IN G T H E U SE OF B A N K I N G RESERVES

urer, and the proceeds are credited to the re­
serve balance of the member bank forwarding
the check. Thus both of these transactions in­
crease the volume of reserve funds held by com­
mercial banks. In the current review of finan­
cial developments the inter-district movement
of funds for commercial and financial account,
and the production, consumption, import, and
export of gold are combined under the single
term “ commercial opérations.”
Treasury Operations. In the four-week period
under review, a rather small factor absorbing
some district banking reserves was the local
collection by the United States Treasury of
$5,200,000 more than was disbursed by the
Treasury in this area. As in the case of commer­
cial operations discussed above, the effect of
Treasury operations between February 8 and
March 8 of this year was not typical of their
influence upon member bank reserves during
recent years. For example, in the four years
1929-1932, inclusive, when commercial opera­
tions resulted in a net transfer of $394,000,000
out of the district, the United States Treasury
disbursed in the Twelfth District $504,000,000
in excess of its local collections, thus more than
offsetting the outward commercial movement
of funds. In addition to the customary Govern­
ment disbursements, these payjnents by the
United States Treasury included payments for
the account of the Reconstruction Finance Cor­
poration and other Government agencies ex­
tending credit, as well as new issues of national
bank notes, which were of considerable impor­
tance in the summer of 1932.
For the country as a whole, Treasury opera­
tions ( “Treasury currency adjusted” ), except­
ing the recent issues of national bank notes,
have little effect in the long run upon the vol­
ume of member bank reserves, since they repre­
sent a transfer of funds from one account to
another rather than the creation of new funds
or the absorption of existing funds ; for any one
Federal reserve district, however, as explained
in this bank’s Monthly Review of Business Con­
ditions for June, 1930, Treasury operations may
at times be the most important single factor
influencing the volume of member bank re­
serves. In the San Francisco district, for ex­
ample, it was pointed out in the preceding para­
graph that expenditures by the Treasury ex­
ceeded collections by $504,000,000 during 1929,
1930, 1931, and 1932, and in 1932 alone the ex­
cess was $241,000,000— by far the most impor­
tant factor influencing banking reserves in that
year.
Practically all Treasury expenditures in this
district are made by checks chargeable to the
Treasurer’s account at the Federal reserve
bank. Payment of these checks naturally tends
to increase bank reserves. Treasury collections,
on the other hand, tend to reduce bank reserves.
Income and internal revenue taxes, customs,




7

dues, and cash subscriptions to new issues of
United States Government securities, are usu­
ally paid for by checks or other cash items,
the Treasurer presenting these for payment
through the Federal reserve bank to the banks
upon which they are drawn. Payment is effected
by charging the member bank’s reserve account
and crediting the Treasurer’s account.
Reserve Bank Credit. This item includes all
credit extended by the Federal reserve system
to the Twelfth District. Such credit is supplied
principally by the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco. Reserve bank credit includes bills
discounted for district banks, local purchases of
United States securities or acceptances, and
such minor items as float, member bank over­
drafts, et cetera. Total holdings of bills and
securities of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco are usually considerably in excess of
the amount of reserve bank credit extended to
the Twelfth District. This results from the fact
that the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
participates with the other reserve banks in
System open-market operations and thus a large
part of its holdings of United States securities
and bills is purchased in national markets,
chiefly New York, and consequently represents
almost entirely credit extended to other parts of
the United States.
Unexpended Capital, Non-member Deposits,
et cetera. A demand on the member banks for
reserve funds may arise when non-member de­
posits at the reserve bank increase*, and when
there is an addition to capital, surplus, or un­
divided profits of the reserve banks. During
recent years there has been little change in the
total of these several small items in the Twelfth
District. The capital stock of the reserve banks
changes only gradually, and earnings accumu­
late slowly, so that the amount of reserve funds
drawn into and held by the reserve banks in this
way is not large. Similarly, the deposits main­
tained b y non-member banks for clearing pur­
poses, do not change greatly in this district.
On the following pages are tabulated two sets
of figures for the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis­
trict. Pages 8 and 9 contain the weekly figures
of changes in the several factors discussed, cov­
ering the period since January, 1929. In the
series on pages 10 and 11, the weekly figures
have been accumulated, using the figures of
January 2, 1929, as zero or the starting point of
the accumulation. These series, when plotted,
give the same appearance of movement as
would the charting of absolute amounts, except
that the lines are always in relation to January
2, 1929, as zero, and may therefore fluctuate
above or below zero. The series of weekly
changes in the several items will be furnished
the press regularly hereafter.
*These deposits are held largely for clearing purposes. They are
usually built up out of funds transferred from the reserve bal­
ances of member banks.
