(Superseding Circular No. 24.)

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF N E W YORK

N E W Y O R K , December 30, 1916.

TELEGRAPHIC T R A N S F E R S .
T o THE C A S H I E R ,
SIR:

One of the purposes of the Federal Reserve Act is to render the banking resources of the
country more mobile and readily available to all sections.

In order to make this purpose effec-

tive and to provide a prompt, economical and safe method of transferring funds throughout the
country, you are advised as follows:
For the present, and until further notice, the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York will make telegraphic transfers for its member banks without expense
other than the cost of the telegram, (a) to a member bank within this district, or
(b) to a member bank outside of this district through the Federal Reserve
Bank of its district.
This will enable you to make any excess balances or deposits with this bank immediately
available with any Federal Reserve Bank or member bank of this or any other Federal reserve
district, thus rendering this service at a nominal expense, and should also decrease the economic
waste incident to the shipping of large sums of currency from one part of the country to
another.
Transfers by mail will be made as heretofore both within and without this district without
charge.




Respectfully,
R O B E R T H. T R E M A N ,

Deputy Governor.
