FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK f Circular No. 1162. February 27, 1933. "1 1 Superseding Circular No. 1007. November 1, 1930. J Buffalo Branch Time Schedule To Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks in the Territory assigned to the Buffalo Branch: This circular contains our Buffalo Branch Time Schedule. It applies only to member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to our Buffalo branch (i. e., the counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and "Wyoming, in the State of New York). Our New York Head Office Time Schedule applies to member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to our head office at New York City. As heretofore, cash items sent to us by member and nonmember clearing banks in the territory assigned to our Buffalo branch should be sent to our Buffalo branch, except that such banks may at their option send cash items payable in the territory assigned to our head office at New York City either to such head office or to our Buffalo branch. Subject to the terms and conditions of this time schedule, and of Regulation J of the Federal Reserve Board, and of our circular relating to collection of cash items, we will give credit in member bank reserve accounts and nonmember clearing bank clearing accounts at the times indicated herein for cash items received and accepted by us and for cash items payable in other Federal Reserve Districts which are sent by our member and nonmember clearing banks with our permission direct to Federal Reserve Banks of such other districts for our account. This time schedule does not necessarily show the actual time required for collection of cash items, and advices received from us showing the availability of items cannot be considered as advices of actual payment on the dates of availability. Credit will in all instances be subject to receipt of payment by us in actually and finally collected funds, and we may in our discretion refuse at any time to permit the withdrawal or other use of credit given for any item for which we have not yet received payment in actually and finally collected funds. "We reserve the right at any time to revoke, modify, amend, or add to, this time schedule or any provision thereof, effective as to all or any particular member banks and nonmember clearing banks.

CREDIT FOR CASH ITEMS S E N T DIRECT TO OTHER FEDERAL RESERVE B A N K S Member and nonmember clearing banks, which have received permission to send cash items payable in other districts direct to other Federal Reserve Banks for account of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will be given credit for items so sent after the same number of days from the mailing thereof as credit is deferred for similar items after receipt thereof by Federal Reserve Bank of New York at its Buffalo branch; provided, however, that Federal Reserve Bank of New York may, by giving notice to such effect to any member or nonmember clearing bank, prescribe an hour before which all items or certain items must be mailed by such bank in order to obtain such credit and may defer credit an additional day for items mailed by such bank after such hour. PREPARATION OF CASH LETTERS SORTING Member banks and nonmember clearing banks are requested to sort cash items which they send to the Buffalo branch of Federal Reserve Bank of New York into classes according to the number of days for which credit will be deferred for such items, with a separate letter or total for each class. In order that credit may be deferred on a calendar day basis instead of on a business day basis for items which are payable in Federal Reserve cities and Federal Reserve branch cities and are included in the two, three, and four day deferred credit classes, such items should be sorted separately from the other items in the respective classes. If this is not done, credit for all items in these classes, including items payable in Federal Reserve cities and Federal Reserve branch cities, will be deferred on a business day basis. Credit for cash items not sorted in accordance with instructions may be deferred for the longest time for which credit would be deferred for any of such items if properly sorted. All cash items should be described on cash letters by inserting the name of the bank and city or town at which they are payable, or by inserting the American Bankers Association transit number of such bank. *** The portions of the Second Federal Eeserve District assigned to the head office of the Federal Eeserve Bank of New York at New York City are as follows: New York—All except counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, L:vingston, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming, which are assigned to the Buffalo branch.
