credit by the security markets is indicated by
the fact that loans to brokers and dealers in
securities placed by the weekly reporting
member banks in New York City increased by
$826,000,000 during the year ending in November. Loans by the New York banks for
their own account increased by $357,000,000
and their loans for account of their American
banking correspondents by $227,000,000. The
remainder of the growth was in loans for
account of others, which showed an increase
of about 32 per cent during the year, carrying
the total to $1,000,000,000 for the first time.
This large growth of loans for customers other
than domestic banks is not reflected in the
condition statement of any banks, since banks
act merely as agents in these transactions.
It does, however, reflect the large growth in the
use of funds by the security market. Funds
supplied by corporations with temporarily idle
resources at their disposal and funds of foreign
banks and industrial concerns in the New York
market are the sources from which these loans
for account of others are largely drawn. The
somewhat less active condition of business
during the year, reducing the current financial
requirements of trade and industry, and the
large amount of foreign funds seeking investment have been factors accounting for the
growth in brokers7 loans for account of corporate and foreign customers.
Another part of the open market which has
reflected the growth of available short-time
funds in New York has been

the acceptance market. Aci
cording to the latest figures
collected by the acceptance council, the total
volume of outstanding acceptances in November of this year is about $1,000,000,000, a
larger figure than at any previous time. The
large volume of acceptances outstanding in
this country has been the result in part of
lower rates on bankers' bills in the New York
market, compared with the London market,
and the consequent increased proportion of
DECEMBEE, 1927
this country's exports, which was financed by
dollar acceptances rather than by sterling acceptances. Compared with last year the rise
l
n the price of cotton, which is the basis of a
large proportion of acceptance credit, has also
been a factor in increasing the dollar volume of
outstanding acceptances.2
The abundance of bank funds has been reflected also in a growth of bank investments.
Thus security holdings of memBank invest- ber banks in leading cities
ments
increased by about $670,000000, or about 12 per cent, between November,
1926 and 1927, the largest growth in investments of member banks since 1924. About
two-fifths of this growth in bank investments
was in Government securities, the larger increase being in bonds of corporations and of
municipalities, both domestic and foreign.
This growth of investments by the banks has
occurred during a period when the absorption
of securities by all classes of investors in the
United States has been in unusually large
volume. Security flotations, domestic and
foreign, during the year ending in October,
1927, were over $7,000,000,000, exclusive of
refunding issues, a larger amount than in any
previous year, excepting only the time of
war financing. The abundance of funds available for investment in private enterprises,
which has characterized the past year, has
been due chiefly to the large volume of the
national savings, but has been augmented
by the retirement of the public debt, which
has had the effect of placing funds collected
through taxation into the investment market.
The retirement of the debt of the United States
Government at the rate of about $1,000,000,000 a year has thus been a factor in making
funds, which otherwise might have been expended in part for consumption goods, available
for investment in securities of State and municipal governments and of private enterprises.

DECEMBER, 1927
The growth of loans and investments at the
reporting member banks during the past year
has been accompanied by an
d
increase of about $1,400,000,000
in the banks' combined net demand and time deposits, demand deposits
showing an increase of $738,000,000 and time
deposits an increase of $655,000,000 for the
year. The increase in demand deposits during
the current year has been in contrast with the
two preceding years, when the volume of demand deposits remained constant, while time
deposits increased steadily. The continuous
growth of time deposits in recent years, which
has considerably increased their proportion of
total deposits, has been an important factor in
enabling the member banks to increase their
loans and investments in the past five years by
about $8,600,000,000 on a basis of $445,000,000
added to their reserve balances. This expansion of bank credit during the past five
years at the rate of about $19 of credit to $1 of
reserves has reduced the average reserves held
by member banks from 8.1 to 7.3 per cent of
the deposits subject to reserve requirements.
To what extent the growth of time deposits
represents actual savings and to what extent it
merely reflects an increase in the practice of
carrying deposits not immediately required for
current operations under the caption "time
deposits/ 7 it is impossible to determine. Regardless of the character of the growth of time
deposits, the fact that the total of demand and
time deposits has increased reflects the growth
in the total volume of funds used by the banks
in extending credit for long or short periods to
the various enterprises of the country, and
since member bank investments have not increased nearly as rapidly as their time deposits,
it is clear that a considerable proportion of the
funds represented by time deposits have been
used in short-term credit operations.
The following table shows for member banks
in leading cities the growth of net demand and
of time deposits for the six years ending
November, 1927:

For the six-year period the growth in time
and in demand deposits has been approximately
equal in amount, $3,400,000,000, but the
growth in time deposits has been continuous
from year to year, while the growth in demand
deposits has been largely concentrated in three
years, 1922,1924, and 1927. These three years,
it will be observed, were all years of relatively
easy money and of somewhat reduced business
activity. Thus the growth of demand deposits
appears to have occurred largely at times
when current credit demands of trade and
industry were fairly constant, rather than at
times when there was a growing demand for
bank loans from these sources. During the
present year the volume of industrial and
trade activity has been decreasing and there
has been a large growth both in demand and
time deposits.
The foregoing analysis of the growth of bank
credit during the past year indicates that the

Loans and investments of the banks in New
York City have increased by 12.6 per cent for
the year, those in Chicago by 5.8 per cent, and
those in other leading cities by 4.8 per cent.
More striking is the contrast between the
growth in security loans in the different groups
of banks—at banks in New York City, it w^as
27 per cent; at banks in Chicago, 14 per cent;
and at other reporting banks, 6 per cent. Commercial loans have increased 5 per cent in New
York and decreased 5 per cent in Chicago and
2 per cent in other leading cities. On the
other hand, the growth in investments was 7
per cent in New York, 11 per cent in Chicago,
and 14 per cent in other leading cities. This
indicates that the abundance of funds during
the year has given rise to a movement of surplus
funds to New York and to Chicago, where these
funds were placed largely as collateral loans on
the security market, while additional funds
were used by the banks outside of the financial centers in the purchase of investments. At
New York banks investments increased rapidly
during the first part of the year, but declined
after that time.
At the Federal reserve banks the recent
growth in member bank credit has been accompanied by an increase in

Earlier m the year the volume
of Federal reserve bank credit outstanding
was below the amount in 1926, as is indicated
DECEMBER, 1927
by the chart, but recently the total has been
above that of a year ago. The lower level of
reserve bank credit earlier in the year was due
to the importation of gold, which was flowing
into this country at a rapid rate in the first
half of the year, and also to the diminished
demand for money in circulation. The volume of money in circulation throughout this
year has been lower than the year before, reMILLIONS OF DOLLARS

During the past three months the movement
of gold has been reversed, and partly through
exports and partly through earmarking for
foreign account there has been a considerable
decrease in the country's monetary gold. This
loss of gold and the increased reserve requirements of member banks have been the principal
influence causing the increased demand for
reserve bank credit. The growth in member
bank reserve balances, which has been the
first substantial growth of these balances since
1924, reflects the growth in 1927 of demand
deposits of member banks, which did not occur
in the two preceding years, and also the growth
in the deposits of New York City banks, where
the reserve requirements are 13 per cent.

DECEMBER, 1927
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
Up-to-date figures with reference to gold
coin have been among the most difficult to
obtain, and whatever inaccuracy has occurred
in this item has been reflected both in the figure
for the total monetary gold stock of the United
States and also for the total amount of United
States money in circulation. Such inaccuracy
has at times been of substantial magnitude,
as, for instance, on the 1st of February, 1927,
when the absence of up-to-date information
with reference to imports of gold coin resulted
in the failure to take account of gold imports
of $39,500,000 during January through the
San Francisco and St. Lawrence customs
districts, which at that time were not submitting telegraphic reports. Prompt reports are
now being received from both of these districts
and also from the New York district; it is
through these three districts that the largest
movements of gold coin occur, and prompt
information from them, which has been available since last June, has been of great value.
Inaccuracies of similar origin have also affected
certain other figures upon which the final
figures for gold stock and money in circulation
have been based, and these inaccuracies taken
together have often amounted during the past
six years to from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000.
In the revised figures presented in the accompanying tables, all of these inaccuracies have
been eliminated in so far as the basic records
permit, principally upon the basis of information compiled and furnished by the Bureau of
the Mint and the Division of General Accounts.
These tables, furthermore, in conformity with
what is henceforth to be the regular practice
of the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN, reflect
some changes in the elements that enter* into
the total figures for monetary gold stock and
for money in circulation. These changes are:
(1) Inclusion in the monetary gold stock of
the United States of such gold as may at any
time be held abroad by the Federal reserve
banks; (2) exclusion from the gold stock (and
also from gold reported as in circulation) of
United States gold coin earmarked by the
Federal reserve banks for foreign account; and
(3) inclusion, for the first time, in the total
figure for money in circulation, of figures for
minor coin, i. e., nickels and cents.
Gold held abroad by the Federal reserve
banks—which means gold belonging to them
but in the custody of foreign correspondents,
under earmark and thus at the free disposal of
801
the Federal reserve banks—is included in the
total monetary gold stock of the United States,
because it is a part of the gold that is available
for the monetary use of the United States,
whether it be counted in practice as part of
the reserves of the Federal reserve banks (as
has at times been the case) or not so counted,
as has been the case since February 4, 1921.
During the larger part of the past six years no
gold has been held abroad, but for a time during 1927 the amount so held approximated
$60,000,000, and for several months in 1919
and 1920 it exceeded $100,000,000. Some gold
was also held abroad in other years.
The Federal reserve banks frequently hold
in trust, i. e., earmarked for foreign account,1
substantial amounts of gold, which may be
in the form of gold bars (bullion), foreign gold
coin, or United States gold coin. Such coin,
belonging as it does to those foreign correspondents for whom it is being held, accordingly represents a part of the monetary gold
stock of foreign countries and not a part of
the monetary gold stock of the United States.
The practice which has hitherto been followed
in arriving at the total monetary gold stock
of the United States, as published in the circulation statement, has automatically taken
account of earmarked bullion (and foreign
coin) but not of earmarked domestic coin;
this practice has now been modified in such a
way as to allow for a decrease in the gold stock
of this country whenever gold coin is placed
under earmark and for an addition to the gold
stock of the country whenever gold coin is
released from earmark. There has been a
certain amount of gold coin under earmark
almost continuously since 1916, which at times
has amounted to as much as $50,000,000,
and changes in the amount from one month
to the next have sometimes been as much as
$20,000,000. Thus the change in practice
with reference to the handling of this item is
of considerable quantitative importance.
The amount of minor coin in circulation has
heretofore never been included in the total
amount of money in circulation as reported by
the Treasury circulation statement and published in the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN.
Its amount at the present time approximates
$110,000,000; at the beginning of 1922 it was
1
Some of the gold held under earmark is the property of member
banks, but inasmuch as the earmarking of this gold is commonly at the
instance of foreign correspondents of these banks, the amount is here
considered as part of the gold earmarked for foreign account.
802
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
about $90?000,000.2 These figures indicate the
extent to which the amount of money in circulation has been raised by the inclusion of minor
coin.
The preparation of revised figures for earlier
dates on a monthly basis is under way and the
complete results will be published as soon as
they become available.3

FEDERAL EESEEVE BULLETIN
DIFFERENTIALS IN RATES CHARGED CUSTOMERS ]
Prior to 1918 comparable and consecutive
statistics on the level and range of interest rates
charged by banks on loans to customers were
almost completely lacking in this country, in
that year the Federal Reserve Board established a regular reporting service to supply such
information from selected cities where Federal
reserve banks or branches were located. This
service has since been expanded to cover all
cities in which there are banks or branches of
the Federal reserve system, and reports on rates
charged customers have been published regularly in the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN.
The published data are based primarily upon
monthly reports submitted by a selected group
of leading banks in each city covering rates
wilich they have charged their customers on
various types and maturities of paper. On
account of the unorganized nature of the market, the problem of obtaining comparable and
accurate quotations has presented considerable
difficulty, and many of the published quotations, especially for earlier years, are still open
to question. Taken as a whole, however, these
data undoubtedly reflect the principal characteristics of the market for customers' loans in
the leading cities of the United States. This
is especially true with regard to differentials in
rates charged, which stand out as one of the
most distinctive characteristics of customers'
markets. In these differentials much of the
underlying structure of our banking system is
revealed.
The range of cities covered by this material
is broad. Starting with quotations from the
12 Federal reserve bank cities and a few of those
containing the more important branches, the list
has been expanded by the Federal Reserve
Board so that for most of the period there is a
consecutive record of customers' rates 2 reported from over 30 cities, ranging in size from
New York City to Helena, and in territorial
location from Boston to Jacksonville, Los
1
This study is a part of a monograph in preparation on money rates
and money markets in the United States by Winfield W. Eiefler, of
the Division of Research and Statistics.
2 Through 1923 these rates were reported on the 15th of each month
and represented the prevailing rate in the market during the previous
month. Since January, 3924, in the interest of greater accuracy, they
have represented the prevailing rate during the week ending the 15th.
As the dependability of these quotations is open to some question, the
series used in this study have been carefully scrutinized as to their reliability, and where doubt existed as to the validity of the quotations they
were excluded. In general, quotations were excluded (1) when the
series from a particular city was incomplete, due largely to the difficulty
of organizing a competent reporting service, and (2) when during the
period of very high money rates the existence of laws in certain States
limiting the legal rate of interest impaired the comparability of reported
rates from cities in such States with other cities where there were no
legal restrictions or where such restrictions as did exist were abov- the
range of rates quoted.
Angeles, and Seattle. The quotations for each
city are not limited to one type of loan but
embrace for each city the most important types
of paper on which banking funds are borrowed.
Table I, taken from the FEDERAL RESERVE
BULLETIN for. January, 1927, illustrates the
scope and nature of the additional data on the
structure of money rates that are now available
for analysis and study.

It may lead to a clearer understanding of the
meaning of these quotations to quote the
heading under which they are carried in the
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN: "The
*
*

table shows the prevailing rates charged on
various classes of loans, as reported by representative banks in the cities indicated. These
rates are not averages but are those rates at
which the bulk of the loans of each class are

FEDEEAL RESERVE BULLETIN
made by reporting banks." The rates quoted
then do not necessarily indicate the highest
rate that was charged on any one loan nor the
lowest. They are gathered to represent the
rates borne by the bulk of the paper, i. e., the
rates charged on most of the money loaned to
customers during the period. Two items have
been added to the table presented here that
do not appear in the original, the last column
on the right and the line at the foot of the table
entitled "Range." The first gives the highest
and lowest rate quoted for each city for all
types of loans quoted for the week ended
December 15, 1926, while the second gives the
highest and lowest rate quoted for each
type of loan throughout the 34 cities for the
same period.
The most interesting fact is the range of
rates quoted, the seeming absence of a norm.
The lowest on the table is 4J^ per cent and the
highest 10 per cent. The price of money, then,
was twice as large for some loans in some places
as for other loans in other places during the
same week in these 34 cities. Nor are these
low and high quotations isolated on the table
under examination. Though they are the
lowest and highest rates reported, there is a
steady range of quotations in between. A
greater number are to be found at 5 and 6 per
cent than at any other rate, but 8 per cent
appears for every class of loan and in many
cities, and on the low side there are quotations
of 43^ and 424 per cent in fair quantities. The
series at the foot of the page shows the range
for each type of paper. Rates on customers'
prime commercial paper and interbank loans
both ranged from 4 Y2 to 8 per cent on that
date over different parts of the country. Loans
on stock exchange collateral, both demand and
time, and loans secured by warehouse receipts,
carried rates that ranged from 4% to 8 per
cent, while rates on cattle loans ranged from 5
to 10 per cent. In nearly every class the price
of money on the same type of paper was almost
double in some places what it was in others.
It is indicated, therefore, that the place where a
loan is made is fully as important as the type
of loan in determining the rate of interest that
will be paid.
Variations in risk do not appear to offer an
adequate explanation of the greater part of
these differentials. Fairly consistent differences are reported between the rates charged
customers in different cities, but they apply to
loans where the risk is constant as well as to
those where differentials in risk can be inferred. Banks in the city of Chicago, for
DECEMBER, 1927
example, consistently reported higher rates
for loans secured by Liberty bonds than did
banks in the city of New York, yet Liberty
bonds are just as secure for loans in Chicago
as in New York. The annual average rates
charged customers on the six most important
types of loans from 1919 to 1925 are shown in
Table II. These averages apply to rates reported as customarily charged and include in
each year all the cities from which satisfactory
reports were received throughout the year on
all six types of loans. Each year the highest
rates were charged on time loans secured by
stocks and bonds, a form of collateral probably
involving less risk on the average than loans
secured by a commercial customers' promissory note. Average rates on loans to other
banks, on the other hand, which represent
probably the best risk among the six types
included on the table, were only a trifle lower
than rates on customers' commercial paper.

So far as rates customarily charged on the
bulk of customers7 loans are concerned, therefore, differentials between cities and between
different types of. collateral security appear as
frequently and consistently in those cases
where there is no difference in risk involved as
in those cases where differentials in risk can be
inferred to exist. This same condition is also
shown by an examination of the highest and
the lowest rates charged in the various cities.
For several years the rates reported to the
Reserve Board included the highest and lowest
rates ruling in each city upon each type of loan
as well as the rate which was customarily
charged. These rates show a considerable
spread in each city between the highest and
lowest rates charged upon the same type of
loan, but again give little support to the theory
that varying degrees of risk account for the
difference. In Table III, the average high

can be claimed for these quotations is that they
are roughly representative of the broader movements and relative levels of customers' rates.
The differentials in rates, however, which are
given in this discussion, both between different
types of loans and between rate levels in different cities, appear so consistently throughout
the whole of the reports that they require explanation on other grounds than inaccuracies
in the reporting service. These differentials
are not those that would be expected if they

than that on time loans on the same collateral,
thus reflecting the preference of bankers for
loans on terms that enable them to withdraw their funds at will.
In the customers' market this preferential
difference practically disappears. Rates reported on demand loans are usually close to
those on time and the difference in favor of
demand loans is so small as to be almost negligible. The reason for this disparity in rate
practice between loans in the open market and
to customers is probably to be found in the
customer relationship, which by its very nature
precludes the use of demand loans for the
temporary investment of liquid funds. Customers contracting demand loans have not
usually an open market to which they could
readily turn for accommodation should the
lending bank call the loan, and would, therefore, be seriously embarrassed were such a
situation to arise. This eventuality would be
anything but conducive to a cordial relationship between bank and customer. In actuality, most demand loans to customers are
probably similar only in form to demand loans
in the open market. They do not represent
day-to-day loans of surplus funds, so much as
well-secured but indeterminate loans by banks
to those customers who can not tell the period
for which they will need accommodation, and
desire to repay their obligations at will. It-is
not expected that they will be called at the
option of the bank. Such loans are similar
to time loans in that they definitely tie up
funds and, as the reports show, they pay nearly
the same rates.
In the customers' market, therefore, rate
differences according to maturity practically
disappear, the difference between rates on
three and on six months commercial paper,
or between rates on demand and on time loans
on stocks and bonds being inconsiderable.
What differences there are follow open-market
practice by favoring the shorter maturities,
but are much smaller than maturity differentials in the open markets. This divergence
between practice in the customers' markets
and the open markets is, as noted above, accounted for by the customer relationship. If
banks desire to keep customers they must be
ready to meet their legitimate credit demands.
Frequently when customers' loans mature
banks must be prepared to renew them if the
credit is still good and the customer so desires.
The decision to call a customer's demand loan
or terminate a time loan at maturity is not one
which the bank can make without regard to
807
further consequences, as it can in the case of
open-market loans.
Under these circumstances rates for varying maturities tend to
approach a parity.
Rate differences according to collateral also
tend to disappear in the market for customers'
loans. This is shown in Table VII, where the
spread between rates on four to six months commercial paper and time loans on stocks and bonds
in the customers' markets is compared with,
the same spread in the open markets from 1919
to 1925. In the customers' markets the spread
between quotations on commercial paper and
security loans averaged from one-eighth to
one-fourth of 1 per cent, while in the open
markets the spread averaged from one-eighth
to four-fifths of 1 per cent.
The comparison in Table VII also brings out
the fact that in all of the years from 1919 to
1925 rates on commercial paper were lower
than rates on security loans in the customers'
market, and also lower in the open marketsin five of the seven years. It has already been
shown that these differentials do not correspond with differences of risk. Loans secured
by stocks and bonds, where fluctuations in
the value of the collateral can be judged from
current market quotations and additional margins demanded, can be much more easily safeguarded than loans on commercial customers'
promissory notes. In some measure the differentials can be explained, however, by the provisions of the Federal reserve act which permit
member banks to rediscount customers' commercial paper, but forbid advances by the reserve banks on loans secured by stocks and
bonds. It is, of course, impossible to determine precisely the effect of these provisions in
depressing rates on commercial paper both in
the customers' and in the open market. Some
effect is indicated, however, by the fact that
in the open markets commercial paper was
quoted at a premium over security loans prior
to the inauguration of the reserve system.
This is shown in Table VIII, where five-year
averages of open-market rates on the two
types of loans are compared from 1891 to 1925.
From 1891 to 1915 the five-year averages of
commercial paper rates • were always above
similar averages for loans on securities. Following 1915, however, during the period of
the existence of the reserve banks with their
facilities for rediscounting commercial paper,
time loans on securities have averaged above
commercial paper.
The importance to customers' rates of the
rediscount provisions of the Federal reserve
808
FEDEKAL EESEEVE BULLETIN
act is further suggested by the quotations on
loans secured by Liberty bonds, which also
possess rediscount privileges at the reserve
banks. In 1919 and 1920 these commanded
discount rates at the reserve banks that were
lower than the discount rates on commercial
paper, while since that time discount rates on
loans secured by the two types of collateral
have generally been the same. The annual
averages of rates charged customers on these
two types of loans, as given in Table IX, show
that in 1919 and 1920 customers7 rates on
loans secured by Liberty bonds were also lower
than on loans secured by commercial paper,
while since that time rates on these two classes
of loans have been nearly the same.

In view of the fact that the credit of a bank
is ordinarily considered far superior to that
of a commercial borrower, the concession in
rates on interbank loans appears small, while
in comparison with the much lower rate paid
on discounts by member banks of 3the reserve
system, it seems almost negligible. The rate
charged a bank for accommodation appears to
be very close in each market to the rates
charged other borrowers and governed by those
rates rather than by the rate for bank loans at
the reserve banks. The explanation is probably to be found in the fact that the group of
banks which contract loans from other banks
differs quite radically on the whole from the
group which borrows from the reserve banks.
When the banks in Atlanta, for example, report
the rate for interbank loans in that city, the
rate is not the one which they would pay. If
an Atlanta bank desired to borrow money it
could, if it were a member of the reserve system,
borrow on eligible collateral at the lower rate
charged by the Atlanta reserve bank, and if
it did not belong to the Federal reserve system
or did not possess eligible collateral, it could
still borrow from a bank in New York City, if
its credit was good. In that case it would pay
at the interbank rate ruling in New York, which
would probably be materially lower than the
interbank rate in Atlanta. The quotations for
rates on interbank loans represent in each city
3
The average rate on rediscounts is not strictly comparable statistically with the other averages as it is weighted by the volume of loans at
each rate, while the others are simple arithmetical averages of all rates
quoted as customary from all cities. That the difference in method is
not important in the result is shown by a comparison of similar rates
for commercial and interbank loans in New York City with the average
rate charged on rediscounts at the New York reserve bank. By using
one city in this manner most of the statistical objections are eliminated.
For the seven years, interbank loans were quoted 0.08 per cent under
customers' commercial 4-6 months loans and 0.77 per cent above the
average rate on rediscounts.
809
the rates at which banks in those cities lend to
other banks, probably in smaller communities
on the outside, and the rate which the borrowing bank must pay, if it is not a member of the
reserve system, is determined by the market
level of bank rates in the city in which it is
best able to borrow. If it has correspondent
connections in New York and its credit is good
there, it can take advantage of the lower levels
of money rates that usually prevail in that
ma.rket. If access to accommodation in New
York is not available, it must pay the higher
rate prevailing in those communities where it
has access to credit.
Geography as a factor in differentials between customers' rates.—Differentials in rates,
therefore, are the most striking characteristic
of rates charged customers, but they are not
characteristically differentials that can be
ascribed to risk, to maturity of the loan, or to
the type of collateral by which it is secured.
Differentials on the basis of these distinctions
do exist, but they are uniformly smaller than
comparable ones that appear in the open
markets. In the case of customers7 rates,
the differentials that are striking are, first,
the wide variations between rates charged in
the same city and frequently in the same
bank to different customers on the same type
of loan, and second, the wide variations that
appear between customers' rate levels in different cities. In the case of the first type of differentials, those that appear in the same bank and
on the same type of collateral to different
borrowers, the explanation is probably to be
found in the aggregate of those qualities which
make a customer desirable to a bank and determine his competitive standing in the banking
world. A bank is proud of its good custoriiers,
its good "risks," and tries to retain them.
These good "risks" are not distinguished so
much by the type of collateral upon which they
borrow as by their importance to the bank, the
size of their balances, the amount of business
which they bring it, and their ability to establish banking connections elsewhere. These are
the qualities which induce rate concessions, and
distinguish those borrowers who pay the highest
and the lowest rates at the same bank on the
same type of loan. Some of them can be defined perhaps in terms of risk, but their most
common characteristic is the general profitability of their account to the bank.
Differentials between cities, or according to
geographical location, which form the second
important distinction, are essentially differentials between different customers7 money

That differences in money rate levels between cities are partly the result of the character of their banking connections was indicated
by the differentials that appeared between
Federal reserve bank cities and Federal reserve branch cities. That they are also partly
the result of the volume of funds seeking employment is indicated by the general correlation of lower rates with cities having larger total
deposits and higher rates with cities having
smaller total deposits. That they are also to
be accounted for in the relative demand for loanable funds is indicated by a further grouping
according to geographical location. To bring
this out Table XV is presented, in which the
20 cities are grouped first into 4 geographical
groups comprising cities located in the industrial East, the industrial-agricultural Middle
West, the South, and the far West. Progressively for western and southern groups as
arranged in the table, the demand for credit
probably tends to exceed by a wider margin the
local available supply. Within these geographical groupings, the reserve bank and branch
cities are arranged by the total volume of
deposits. Group averages for the cities so
classified illustrate the differences of money
rate levels that exist between geographical
sections of the country, while within each
group the steady progression almost without
exception of lower rates in Federal reserve
bank cities having the largest volume of
deposits to Federal reserve branch cities
having the smallest volume of deposits illustrates the effectiveness of the two factors
treated above in accounting for rate levels
within a fairly homogeneous geographical
region.
This table illustrates the lower average
money rates in the East, where there is in
general a surplus of funds seeking investment,
and the higher rates in the far West, where
the demand for funds is still in excess of the
supply of local credit. The averages for the
regions are not strictly comparable because of
differences between cities representing the
regions in the other two factors already considered, accessibility to the reserve system and
total volume of deposits, but they do serve to
illustrate differences in general level between
them. These are also shown by other data
given below. Within the geographical groups
the type of city and the volume of deposits
correspond with differences from city to city
in money rate levels with only three exceptions.

Statistics compiled by the Federal Reserve
Board from commercial paper rediscounted
with the reserve banks furnish material for a
separate approach to this problem of differences in money rate levels between geographical regions. For the month of December each
year, 1921-1925, the average rates charged by
member banks in cities under 15,000 population on customers' paper rediscounted with the
Federal reserve banks have been computed by
districts. This computation presents a fair
picture of rates in smaller communities that
are more or less homogeneous so far as size is
concerned, but differ mainly in geographical
location. The results are shown in Table XVI
for the four geographical regions corresponding
roughly to those defined above. The five-year
average of each district was first computed
and then weighted by the relative volume
of net demand deposits of member banks in
communities under 15,000 population in that
district before being combined into the four

geographical divisions. The eastern group
consists of the Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Cleveland districts; the middle
western of the Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis,

Richmond, Atlanta, and Dallas districts; and
the far western of the San Francisco district.

Large geographical differences in rate levels
even for communities homogeneous as to size,
and to some extent in accessibility to outside
resources, are clearly reflected in this table.
It is surprising, however, to find the middle
western group the highest of all, instead of the
second lowest, as was indicated by the reports
from the larger cities. This difference is really
due, first, to the difficulty of combining the
districts into groups that are similar to the
geographical grouping used for larger cities,
and second, to legal limitations on the rates of
interest that reduce the averages for some districts. In the above table the rate for the
southern group is relatively low because most
of the States in the most heavily weighted district, Richmond, have a legal maximum interest
rate of 6 per cent. The middle western group
is high, on the other hand, because of the inclusion of the whole of the Minneapolis and
Kansas City districts in that group instead of in
the far western group. The larger reporting
cities in these districts properly belong to the
middle western classification, but a great
proportion of the smaller communities under
15,000 in size WT>uld more properly be placed
in the far western group. If the Richmond
district were eliminated entirely on the ground
that rates borne on the face of rediscounted
paper from that district are not strictly comparable with rates from districts where the legal
maximum is not so low as 6 per cent, and, if the
Minneapolis and Kansas City districts w^ere
placed in the far western group, the relative
levels of the four geographical divisions would
then be:

Significant factors determining customers'
rates.—It is now possible to discuss in greater
detail the factors which express themselves in
differentials in rates charged customers. The
outstanding characteristic of the customers'
market throughout the banking system is the
personal relationship between banker and customer which takes precedence to a considerable
extent over the terms of the loan as embodied
in the contract and minimizes the importance of
maturity and collateral as affecting the rate that
is charged. This personal relationship between
banker and customer is not an ephemeral
affair, a chance business contact, but represents rather the product of a long and intimate
financial relationship which can not be shifted
without weighing the consequences. The local
banker is successful largely because of his
ability to attract and retain substantial
accounts of customers who are sometimes depositors and sometimes borrowers, and therefore increase both the source of his funds and
the outlet for his loans. To do this he must be
prepared to serve the needs of his customers,
to provide credit when it is demanded by the
requirements of his customers7 business and
not solely according to his own lending position.
Under these circumstances the maturity and
collateral of loans become matters of less importance than in the open markets. A demand
loan to a customer can not be called according
to the desires of the banker if the customer has
a legitimate need for the funds he has borrowed,
except at the cost of the customer relationship,
and a three months loan is not necessarily a
loan that will be paid at maturity, for the
welfare of the customer may require a renewal.
Neither can the collateral be sold to safeguard
a loan except as a measure of last resort. Collateral and maturity are important in the legal
rights which they give to the banker to safeguard his loans, but they are rights that can
not be exercised with impunity.
From the point of view of the customer, also,
the personal nature of his banking connection
is important. His banker is frequently his
financial adviser, thoroughly cognizant both
of the internal intricacies of his business and the
market in which he is dealing. This intimate
knowledge is the product of long contact. It
can not be achieved in a day. The full extent
of a customers7 credit can not be judged by
impersonal, objective standards alone. No
banker is in the position to judge his net worth
814
FEDERAL EESEEVE BULLETIN
and credit standing so well as the one with
whom he has built up this intimate contact.
When a customer shifts from one bank to
another, therefore, there is more involved than
the rate on a single loan. Competition between
banks, accordingly, is not solely a rate competition in which customers shift to the bank
offering the lowest rate. The banker-customer
relationship is a connection of long standing
that is not easily broken. Its strength is not
due to inertia alone, but rests on a whole circle
of reciprocal advantages that fall outside the
realm of rate competition.
Rate competition in customers' loans, therefore, is only partial competition, and in each
market rates that are quoted show a wide
range between customers. Some customers
are limited to one bank, others maintain a line
of credit with two or three in the same city,
while still others of a larger local or national
standing maintain customer relationships with
several banks in different cities and are also
able to enter the open market. Borrowers
having customer relationships with more than
one bank are able to make rate competition
effective among the banks with which they
maintain connections. To this type of borrower different banks will quote the same rate.
Practically all banks, however, have different
rates to different customers which reflect both
the competitive character of their banking
connections and their desirability to the bank
as customers. Reflecting this situation, also,
different banks in the same city w^ill frequently
have different ranges of rates corresponding to
the tj^pe and connections of the customers
constituting their clientele.
The market for customers' loans, therefore,
is in reality a series of overlapping competitive
markets, which are distinct in the sense that
rate differentials are present between different
types of customers, but at the same time loosely
connected into a national system in that
changes in rates in the most sensitive part of
the market, namely, that which competes with
the open market for commercial paper, are
transmitted to the more remote and higher rate
sections. Its most characteristic feature is the
personal relation between banker and customer
which includes, on the one hand, the obligation
on the part of the banker to advance funds,
not only in accordance with his own desires but
also according to the legitimate credit needs of
the customer, and on the other, the asset value
to the customer of maintaining fairly permanent banking connections.
DECEMBER, 1927
Differentials in customers7 rates as they are
found are all due in greater or less degree to
the personal character of this banker-customer
relationship. It furnishes the basis for the
separation of the customer market into its
various competing units w^hich are expressed
in different rates to different customers in the
same locality, and reduces competition between markets in different localities to the
point where local differences in the supply of
and demand for funds are made effective in
rates. These two types of rate differentials
are the most important in the customers' market and overshadow differentials corresponding to maturity, collateral, and risk. These
also exist, but are small in amount in comparison with differentials between customers and
between localities on the same type of loan.
These differentials according to city or locality, it has been shown, correspond first to
differences in banking connections, such as
those which distinguish reserve bank and
branch cities, second, to the size of the local
money market, as measured roughly by its
total deposits, and third, according to geographical location, the highly developed East
having low^er rates other things being equal
than the less developed West. It is not difficult to understand that the first and third of
these distinguishing factors should make themselves felt in rate differentials in as loosely
organized a market as that in which customers
borrow. Closer competition with the open
markets would be expected to produce lower
rate levels in the financial centers where reserve
banks are located, and the greater demand for
funds relative to the local supply in undeveloped regions would be expected to produce
higher rate levels in the West as compared
with the East. The close correspondence
between customers' rate differentials and differences in the total volume of deposits in the
various cities, on the other hand, is more
difficult to explain. A general agreement between higher money rates and smaller total
deposits, and lower money rates and higher
total deposits might be expected on the ground
of other characteristics which generally accompany large deposits, but these considerations
can hardly explain a correlation between differences in the total volume of deposits and customers' rate levels as close as that which is
brought out by these quotations. From the
point of view of supply and demand, rates
might be expected to express the relation between both of these factors and should not.
DECEMBER, 1927
vary with one factor alone, yet customers'
rate levels seem to be governed by the supply
of funds to a greater extent than by the
demand.
The mere fact that total deposits are smaller
in Kansas City than in St. Louis, for example,
is largely the result of the fact that Kansas
City is smaller than St. Louis. The total
supply of loanable funds, therefore, is smaller
in Kansas City, but so also, presumably, is
the demand. If both supply and demand are
smaller, the relation between them which is
expressed in rates might be expected to remain
fairty constant. As a matter of fact, however,
one of the most consistent characteristics of
customers7 rates appears to be that, other
things being equal, rate levels vary inversely
with the total volume of deposits, or with the
supply of funds alone. On the supply side
this arises in part from the fact that bankers'
balances are carried by smaller banks in
smaller communities with larger banks in
larger communities. In other words, the
larger the money market, the greater, frequently, is the addition to its supply of deposits in the form of bankers' balances from
smaller centers. This comes about because
of the desirability of having a larger bank as
correspondent to turn to for help in emergencies, as well as because of trade connections
which make it desirable for banks to clear
through the larger communities in each locality,
which act as middlemen and distributing points
for the surrounding region. The industrial
and banking structure is such, therefore, as to
divert from smaller banking communities to
larger ones a certain portion of the loanable
funds, and these are returned only through
indirect processes such as out-of-town deposits
and interbank loans at high money rates.
On the demand side there is also an element
which tends to make the demand for loans
heavier relative to supply in the smaller communities. If the proceeds of a loan made to a
local customer are expended locally, the funds
are apt to be redeposited with local banks and
remain available in part for further loans,
whereas, should they be used for the purchase
of supplies or equipment out of town, they are
cleared to other centers. It is probably true
that a greater portion of local loans are used
for making out-of-town payments in small
communities than in larger, thus tending to
raise the ratio of the local demand to the supply of funds. Access to outside funds, either
from correspondents or the reserve system, is
also less prompt in the case of smaller com-

FEDEKAL KESEKVE BULLETIN
munities as contrasted with larger. All of
these factors tend to decrease the local supply
of funds relative to demand in smaller communities and find their expression in higher
levels of money rates in communities where
total deposits are small.
Differentials in banking costs.—While these
differentials may be sufficiently accounted for
by such market factors as differences in competition and in the relation between the local
demand for and supply of funds, they are, at
the same time, probably influenced to a certain
extent by differences in the cost of conducting
the banking business. The fact that the western banker obtains a higher rate for his loans
than the banker in the East does not insure
him greater profits. His costs also are higher,
and bank profits, in actual fact, result on
the whole, not so much from high money
rates as from low costs and large turnover.
This is shown in Table XVII, where the ratios
of average annual expenses and earnings to
average loans and investments from June 30,
1919, to June 30,1925, are given for all member
banks of the reserve system, as well as the
percentage which net earnings bore to capital
and surplus. The figures are divided into four
geographical groups, the East, consisting of
the Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and
Cleveland districts; the Middle West, of the
Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Kansas
City districts; the South, of the Richmond,
Atlanta, and Dallas districts; and the far West,
of the San Francisco district.

These figures show that the rate of gross
earnings to total loans and investments was
lowest in the East, where money rates are
lowest. The ratio of costs to total loans and
investments was even lower in the East, however, with the result that the percentage of netearnings to loans and investments was the
816
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
highest for any section of the country. In
other words, even though the eastern banker
received the lowest rate of return on his loans
and investments, he made a net profit of about
13^ per cent on the funds he was handling
during this period, while the far western
banker, receiving a much higher rate of return,
made a net profit of only 1 per cent on account
of his larger costs. On the basis of present
costs, therefore, the higher money rate differentials which characterize the southern and
western sections of the country are more than
offset by the higher cost of banking in those
regions. Should the market for customers7
loans become sufficiently competitive to reduce
rates throughout the country to the levels
prevailing in the larger centers of the East,
without reducing costs to the level of the East,
many banks would be forced to suspend
operations.
That these differentials in costs are largely
the result of relatively higher operating expenses
in the South and West is also shown in Table
XVII, where the ratio of total costs to total
loans and investments has been subdivided
into three groups, to show ratios for, first, net
losses, expressing differences in risk; second,
interest on deposits and other borrowed money,
representing the average cost to the banker of
the funds which he loans; and third, all other
expenses, including mainly costs of operation.
In general, higher costs in the regions where
money rates are higher are the result of higher
operating expenses. Taken in the broad groups
into which these data are divided, there does
not appear to have been much difference in the
risk of lending in the various sections of the
country or in the amount paid on deposits and
other borrowed money over the period. Both
the ratio of losses and interest on deposits are
lowest in the East, but not greatly lower than in
other sections of the country. The ratio of net
losses to total loans and investments over the
six years, for example, varied between 0.61 per
cent among member banks in the eastern
districts and 0.77 per cent in the southern, an
extreme range of only one-sixth of 1 per cent.
The ratio of interest on deposits and other
borrowed money to total loans and investments
varied at the same time from 2.28 per cent in
the East to 2.46 per cent in the Middle West,
an extreme range of a trifle over one-sixth of 1
per cent. The ratio of all other expenses,
which include operating costs, to total loans
and investments, on the other hand, varied
between 2.11 per cent in the East and 2.94 per
cent in the South, a range of five-sixths of 1
DECEMBER,
1927
per cent. The most significant differences in
the cost of banking in different sections of the
country during this period, therefore, have not
originated in differences of risk or of interest
paid on deposits and other borrowed money,
but rather in different ratios of running
expenses.
The causes of these regional differentials in
operating expenses are quite similar to those
which account for differentials in customers'
rates. The higher ratio of expenses to total
loans and investments in the West and South
is to a great extent the product of the smaller
volume of funds which banks in those regions
have to invest. Total loans and investments
of eastern banks average larger on the whole
than do those of banks in the West and South,
with the result that their expenses per dollar
invested average lower, since a larger volume
of business can usually be handled at a lower
cost per dollar. Bank profits are highest in the
East, therefore, in spite of lower money rates,
partly because the lower ratio of costs to loans
and investments in the East more than compensates for the lower interest return. They
are also high in the East because in that section
banks handle a large volume of loans and investments per dollar of capital invested in the
banking business. This, too, is largely a corollary of differences in the local volume of loanable funds. In regions where funds are plentiful
and bank deposits large, banks are usually able
to maintain a larger gross volume of loans and
investments per dollar of capital invested, as
well as to cut the ratio of their operating expenses to dollar of loans and investments outstanding. Both factors customarily accompany
a large local supply of funds, both tend to increase bank profits per dollar of capital and surplus invested, and the two in the aggregate have
more than offset the lower rate of return on
loans and investments which has accompanied
the more plentiful supply of funds in the East.
The same differences in the local supply
of funds which contribute to local differences
in rates charged customers, therefore, also
contribute to local differences in banking
costs and banking profits. This has probably
had some effect in maintaining rate differentials
in the South and West. Banks as profitmaking institutions in any case can be expected
to seek the highest rate consistent with safety,
but the endeavor of banks in the South and
West to maintain differentials in rates charged
customers has probably been made more
effective by virtue of the fact that differentials
have been needed to balance differences in
FEDEKAL KESEKVE
DECEMBER, 1927
operating expenses. The predominant cause
of money-rate differentials, however, remains
in local differences in the supply and demand
for funds. The customers' market is not a
single unified national market, where competition between lenders drives all rates to a
it

irrespective of local differences in the supply
and demand for funds, but a series of loosely
connected competitive markets in which such
differences express themselves in differentials
in rates that are charged.
NEW INDEX OF WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION
For the past nine years statistics of wholesale trade in certain important lines have been
collected and published by the Federal Reserve
Board and the Federal reserve banks. This
reporting service constitutes a part of the
system's work in obtaining current information
on conditions in industry and trade with
In 1923 data available from about 650 firms
representing six different lines of trade were
used by the Federal Reserve Board to2 construct
an index of sales of wholesale firms, and this
index has been compiled and published monthly
since that time. In more recent years the
basic data have become more extensive and

reference to which the banks of the country
have to function. At the time the work was
begun no agency either public or private was
collecting satisfactory statistics of distribution
at wholesale and retail, and, because of the
importance of such information, the Federal
reserve system attempted to secure it through
the voluntary cooperation of representative
firms throughout the country. At first only
a small number of wholesale firms in a few
lines furnished statistics, but in the course
of time the number of cooperating firms has
increased substantially.
i Acknowledgment is due to Mr. William J. Carson, of the Division
of Research and Statistics, for special work in organizing the data upon
which this index is based and in planning the construction of the index.

satisfactory, and on the basis of the data now
available the board has constructed the new
index which is presented in this article. It is
shown on the chart and in the accompanying
tables.
Among the characteristics of the new index
that distinguish it from the one which it
supersedes are (1) a more recent and broader
base period (1923-1925 = 100), (2) the inclusion
of several additional lines, (3) a number of
additional firms, and (4) the use of a, more
satisfactory set of weights in combining the
several lines into the composite index. The
new index, furthermore, is specially character2 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN, April, 1923, p. 439.

ized by the fact that it is adjusted for seasonal
variations. Before analyzing in detail the
construction of the new index the statistical
data which the Federal reserve system receives
from wholesale firms and the procedure
involved in their collection and organization
will be described.
WHOLESALE STATISTICS AND THEIR
COLLECTION
Scope of data.—At the present time approximately 1,350 wholesale firms, representing
18 different lines of trade and having annual
sales of about $4,000,000,000, cooperate with
the Federal reserve system and furnish monthly

statistics showing the amount of dollar sales.
These firms are located in about 350 cities distributed throughout the United States, as
shown by the accompanying map. Table I
shows in detail the 18 lines from which data are
received by the Federal reserve system, the
number of firms reporting in each line, the number of cities in which firms in each line are
located, and the amount of sales in each line.
Lack of satisfactory information regarding
the total volume of wholesale trade makes it
impossible to ascertain with any degree of
certainty the proportion of total wholesale
sales that is represented by the firms reporting
to the Federal reserve system. For the nine
lines of trade included in the index it is believed, however, on the basis of the manufactured value of the merchandise sold, that
the reported sales give a sample sufficiently
large to reflect fairly well changes in the total
amount of wholesale distribution in these lines.3
3
Total factory value of merchandise sold by wholesale firms in the
nine lines is estimated to be $19,800,000,000. Total annual sales of the
firms in these lines, as reported to the Federal reserve system, amount
to about $3,500,000,000. For further details, compare figures of sales as
given in Tables I and II with the estimated total factory values as given
in Table IV.

Types of firms reporting and method of collecting data.—In soliciting the cooperation of
wholesale firms at the inauguration of the
reporting service, efforts were made to obtain
data in the different lines of trade from the
larger and more representative wholesale dealers
in different sections of the country. In many
lines manufacturers sell directly to retailers and
effect distribution without the intervention of
wholesalers, but the extent of this practice
varies considerably in different industries and
even among individual manufacturers in a particular industry. The practice appears to be
extensive in certain lines, particularly meat
packing, agricultural machinery, shoe manufacturing, and furniture, and for these lines
statistics of sales are furnished to the reserve
system by manufacturers. In other lines most
of the reporting firms are wholesale dealers and
the sales reported by them, though including
some sales to consumers or other wholesalers,
are, for the most part, sales to retail firms.
The statistics are collected each month by
the Federal reserve banks on schedules furnished by them to the cooperating firms. At
the close of each month the data are sent by the
reporting firm to the Federal reserve bank in
the Federal reserve district in which the reporting firm is located. These district figures are

forwarded by the reserve banks, usually between the 18th and 23d of the month, to the
Federal Reserve Board at Washington. There
they are organized and used in constructing
the indexes of wholesale distribution for the
country as a whole, which are usually ready for
publication between the 25th and 27th of the
month.
In the case of the meat-packing and agricultural-machinery manufacturing industries, in
which companies operate largely on a national
basis but have manufacturing establishments
principally in the Middle West, reports are
made directly to the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago, which in turn forwards the tabulated
results to the Federal Reserve Board. These
data are then organized and handled in a manner similar to that followed in the case of the
other lines. No attempt has been made to
obtain sales of meat-packing companies by
Federal reserve districts.. In a few districts—
Minneapolis, Dallas, and San Francisco—local
sales of agricultural machinery are reported to
the reserve bank, but since statistics reported
by manufacturers to the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago are for the country as a whole, data
reported from the other three districts are not
included in the national index.
Lines covered by the new index.—Data
selected for the new index includes sales of
firms dealing in groceries, meats, dry goods,
men's clothing, women's clothing, boots and
shoes, hardware, drugs, and furniture. In
choosing these data an attempt was made to
include in the index the lines handling such
goods as are purchased from wholesale dealers
by retail firms for sale directly to individual
consumers. Other criteria of selection were
the representativeness of the sample, the
period of time for which the figures are available, the geographical distribution of the
reporting firms, and the degree to which
important wholesale centers in individual
lines are represented.
It is believed that the merchandise sold by
the firms included in the index represents a
large part of all goods purchased directly by
the consumer from retail firms and also a
considerable portion of the products manufactured by "American industry. The firms
reporting in each of these lines are either distributed throughout the country or are concentrated in sections where certain lines of
wholesale trade are particularly important, so
that they are representative of their respective
branches of the wholesale industrv. In each
DECEMBER, 1927
of these lines there is a substantial number of
reporting firms with a substantial volume of
sales, when all reporting firms are considered.
From one Federal reserve district to another,
however, there is considerable variation in the
relative importance of the lines represented,
as well as in the extent to which the reporting
firms are properly representative of their
respective lines, and interdistrict comparisons
can be made only in a general way.
Statistics showing in detail the number of
firms reporting in each line and the amount
of sales by lines and by districts are given in
Table II.

Groceries and meats.—Wholesale grocery
sales statistics used in the national index are
reported by about 360 firms located in 12
Federal reserve districts. These firms are distributed in 213 cities, varying in number from
5 cities in the Kansas City Federal reserve district to 37 cities in the Minneapolis district.
For several districts the data are available to
January, 1919, but for others the firms did not
begin to report until more recent years; since
1924, however, data are available for all districts. Sales of these reporting firms in 1925
amounted to $646,350,000.
Sales of meats are reported by 61 meatpacking companies located in approximately 50
cities in 25 different States. The companies,
wherever located, report directly to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago but the data
relate to sales in all sections of the country.
Statistics from these companies, by months,
were reported as early as January, 1921, when
821
about 40 companies began to cooperate and
furnish data to the Federal reserve system;
since that time the number of companies reporting has increased and from 1923 to date, data
are available from 61 companies. Total annual
sales of the cooperating companies amounted
to nearly $1,500,000,000 in 1925.
Dry goods and clothing.—Approximately 150
dry-goods firms located in 84 cities in 11 Federal
reserve districts report monthly sales to the
Federal reserve sj^stem. Total sales of these
firms amounted to $442,280,000 in 1925, varying from $2,755,000 reported by 3 firms in the
Minneapolis district to nearly $110,000,000
reported by 16 firms in the New York district.
Statistics from a few firms in several districts
were received as early as January, 1919; in
more recent years the number of reporting firms
has increased and since 1924 data have been
received from nearly all of the firms that are
reporting at the present time. In the New
York district data are included from seven
jobbers selling cotton goods and from nine
wholesale firms selling silk goods.
Sales of clothing are reported from 13 firms
selling men's clothing and 40 firms selling
women's clothing in the New York Federal
reserve district. Of the 40 firms reporting
sales of women's clothing, 29 are dealers in
women's coats and suits and 11 in women's
dresses,, Sales of coats and suits amounted to
$47,716,000 in 1925, and those of dresses
totaled $25,882,000. Total sales of all clothing by these reporting firms amounted to about
$130,000,000 in 1925. This is a relatively
small sample for the clothing business of the
country as a whole, but owing to the fact that
it includes sales for representative dealers in
the New York district, where a large part of
the clothing industiy of the entire country is
located, the sample is believed to reflect fairly
satisfactorily the changes from month to
month in the wholesale clothing business.
Boots and shoes.—Sales of boots and shoes
are reported to the Federal reserve system by
89 wholesale shoe dealers and manufacturers.
Data are received from firms in 52 cities in 10
Federal reserve districts. Three large shoe
manufacturers that sell direct to retailers report
sales to the reserve banks, and the relatively
large sales shown for one or two districts are
due primarily to the fact that important shoe
manufacturing companies are included among
the reporting firms. Total sales in 1925 of all
reporting shoe firms amounted to $304,000,000.
As in the case of other lines, data from some
firms are available as early as January, 1919,
822
FEDBEAL KESEKVE BULLETIN
but it is only since 1925 that the data have
been available from all of the firms that are
reporting at the present time.
Hardware, drugs, and furniture.—Sales of
hardware by 186 wholesale firms, amounting to
$310,000,000 annually, are reported to the
reserve system. The firms are located in 114
cities in 11 Federal reserve districts, no firm
being located in the Boston district. In some
districts firms have been reporting since
January, 1919, but in others data were not
received until more recent years; since 1924,
however, data have been received from most
of the firms which are now cooperating with
the reserve system.
Wholesale sales of drugs are reported from
92firmslocated in 60 cities in 10 Federal reserve
districts. Annual sales of these firms in 1925
amounted to $181,000,000. Data for most of
the firms which are now reporting are available
since January, 1924.
Eighty-seven furniture firms, including
wholesale companies and manufacturers, furnish
monthly statistics of sales to the reserve system.
These firms are located in 36 cities in 7 Federal
reserve districts and have annual sales of approximately $82,000,000. Nineteen furniture
manufacturers in the Chicago district report
the value of their monthly shipments, which
are considered to represent monthly sales and
are accordingly combined with sales statistics
from wholesale firms in other districts.
Lines not covered by the index.—In addition
to the data for the nine lines which are included
in the board's new index, statistics for several
additional lines of trade are reported to the
reserve system. These are shown in Table
III.
Sales of agricultural implements and machinery are reported by about 90 manufacturers directly to the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago and are available since January,
1923. The companies are located in more
than 78 different cities and make sales throughout the United States. Their sales, amounting
to more than $150,000,000 annually, are
included in the index of sales of agricultural
implements and farm machinery for the
country as a whole, which is given in Table
VII at the end of this article. Several agricultural implement firms in the Minneapolis,
Dallas, and San Francisco Federal reserve
districts report to the reserve bank in each of
those districts, but in view of the fact that
some of these firms also report to the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago, the reports to their
DECEMBER, 1927
local banks are not included in the national
index. The data, however, are valuable for
local purposes and are published by the individual reserve banks. The index of agricultural implement and farm machinery sales for
the country as a whole was not included in
the combined index of wholesale distribution,
largely for the reason that these products
are producers, goods rather than consumers,
goods.

Manufacturer's reports to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago cover
the country as a whole. Some of the firms which report sales to the
reserve banks in the other districts also report to the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago, and to prevent duplication their sales are not included
in the index of agricultural implements and farm machinery sales for
the country as a whole.
Data from several of the additional lines of
wholesale trade—electrical supplies, paper and
stationery, and diamonds and jewelry—have
been converted into individual indexes, which
may be obtained on request to the Division
DECEMBER, 1927
FEDEKAL EESEKVE BULLETIN
of Kesearch and Statistics of the Federal
Reserve Board. Statistics of sales of automobile tires and automobile equipment have
been organized and compiled in index number
form by the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco. Sales of stoves in the St. Louis
Federal reserve district and of millinery in the
Kansas City Federal reserve district are
reported from such a small number of firms
that they have not been converted into indexes.
For several reasons, including the smallness of
the sample, the shortness of the period for
which data are available, and the special
character of the data, these additional lines
have not been Included in the new index of
wholesale distribution.4
CONSTRUCTION OF NEW INDEX OF WHOLESALE
DISTRIBUTION
Organization of data.—In organizing the
statistics of dollar sales of the nine lines into a
composite index, data from individual firms
in each line were tabulated and totaled for
each month, with subtotals by lines for each
Federal reserve district. The monthly data
were then converted into percentages to express
the relationship for identical firms between
sales in the given mpnth and average monthly
sales in the base period—the three years, 1923,
1924, and 1925—which is the 100 per cent of
the index.
Since the number of firms reporting to the
Federal Reserve system has increased from
year to year, it was necessary, in computing a series of percentages that would be
comparable from time to time, to make allowances in the total figures for variation in the
number of reporting firms. Starting with 1925,
the most recent year in the base period and the
year in which the number of reportingfirmswas
larger than for any previous year, all firms
reporting in each line in that year were included
in the total for the year. The monthly average of these total sales for 1925 was then computed and used in constructing a series of
relatives for each month in 1925. This was
done by reducing total sales for each month to
a percentage of the average monthly sales for
the year. In computing monthly relatives for
earlier years, adjustments for a firm that re4

ported in 1925, but not in the other years, were
made by subtracting its monthly average sales
in 1925 from monthly average sales of all firms
in that line for that year; the reduced figure
was then used as a base for the period in which
reports from the particular firms were not included. Similar adjustments were made in the
base for firms which have discontinued reporting since 1925. By this process relatives were
derived by comparing sales reported for a given
month with average monthly sales of identical
firms for 1925.
After a series of relatives for each line was
thus constructed, the monthly average of these
relatives for the three years, 1923, 1924, 1925,
was used as a base to construct another series of
relatives. This was done by dividing each
of the monthly relatives, by lines, on the 1925
base by the average of these relatives for the
three years. As a result of this procedure
the new index for each line, b}^ months, was
first expressed as a percentage of monthly
sales to average sales in 1925 and then recomputed, using the average of these monthly
relatives for the three vears, 1923, 1924, and
1925 as 100.
Adjustment for seasonal variation.—Examination of the resulting series showed that sales
at wholesale in each of the individual lines of
trade w^ere characterized by a fairly regular
movement from month to month, arising from
seasonal influences on merchandising practices.
The extent of the influence of these seasonal
factors, however, and the particular months in
which they were most pronounced varied
widely in the different lines of trade. The
most pronounced seasonal changes occur in
sales of men's and women's clothing, the
greater part of which are made at two seasons of
the year—in the spring and in the autumn.
On the other hand, sales of such products as
meat, groceries, drugs, and hardware, at
wholesale are more evenly distributed throughout the year.
In order to make the indexes of the separate
lines, and the combined index derived from
these, serviceable for purposes of month-tomonth comparison, it was necessary to adjust
the data so that the influence of these typical
seasonal movements would be removed. This
was accomplished (1) by deriving figures
representing the proportion of yearly
which are customarily made in each month,
and (2) by dividing the monthly relatives by
these seasonal adjustment factors (and multiplying by 100).
824
FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
The seasonal adjustment factors were derived
by the ratio-to-moving-average method, the
same as that used in the case of the board's
index of industrial production, with one minor
modification. In the indexes of wholesale
distribution by lines computations were made
directly from the unadjusted index of monthly
sales on a 1923, 1924, 1925 base, rather than
from the original dollar figures; this was necessary because frequent introduction of new
reporting firms made impossible the construction of a continuous comparable series of dollar
sales. The procedure of computing seasonal
adjustment factors by the method used was
described briefly in the FEDERAL RESERVE
BULLETIN for March, 1927, page 172, and more
fuUy in the BULLETIN for December, 1922,
pp/l416-1417. 5
In deriving the seasonal adjustment factors,
several limitations in the data made the problem somewhat difficult. It was realized, in the
first place, that at best records were avail
able for less than 9 years (1919-1927) and,
secondly, that many nonseasonal movements
have affected the data, notably some wide
fluctuations in prices. In the early years of the
data, 1919, 1920, and 1921, when prices were
changing rapidly, dollar sales were more directly
affected by fluctuations in prices than in more
recent years, and these early years were accordingly given very little weight in the determination of seasonal adjustment factors.
After the individual seasonal adjustment
factors had thus been computed for the various
lines, they were divided into the corresponding
unadjusted indexes for their respective months
in order to obtain indexes adjusted for seasonal
variations. The seasonal adjustment factors
are given in Table VIII and the adjusted indexes for each line are given in Table VI at
the end of this article.
Changes in seasonal fluctuations.—In practically all lines of wholesale trade there is evidence of slight changes in seasonal fluctuations.
Some months have increased in importance,
relative to other months of the year, while others
have declined. These changes, however, except
in men's clothing and women's clothing, were
not of sufficient importance to vitiate the use of
a fixed set of adjustment factors. In the case
of men's clothing and women's clothing, on the
other hand, the relative importance of the various months had altered so much since 1919
that it was practically impossible to adjust these
DECEMBER, 1927
indexes by the use of one set of adjustment
factors. Instead, therefore, of obtaining one
average figure for each month a series of typical
figures for the correction of each month in each
year was obtained. The unadjusted relative
for each month was then divided by the seasonal
adjustment factor for the corresponding month
to obtain the adjusted relative. The adjustment factors used for men's clothing and
women's clothing 6 for each month are shown
in Table VIII at the end of this article.
Derivation and application of weights.—
After relatives for each of the nine designated
lines had been computed and adjusted for
seasonal variations, they were combined into
a composite index designed to measure changes
in the combined sales of the nine lines. The
combination was made with a view to giving
each line influence in the composite index in
proportion to the relative importance of all
sales at wholesale in that line to total sales
at wholesale for the entire nine lines, including sales of nonreporting as well as those of
reporting firms. Information showing the
total value of sales of wholesale firms in all
of these lines is not available, and in order to
obtain a set of representative weights it was
consequently necessary to resort to data of
somewhat different character. This was done
by deriving from the reports of the Census of
Manufactures, which give the value of different lines of manufacture, a set of estimates
which show the value of all merchandise
manufactured of the kinds sold by wholesale
firms in each of the various lines included in
the index.
In order to derive the desired figures from
the Census reports it was first necessary to
prepare lists of the articles of merchandise
carried in each line. These were compiled
from information furnished by the reporting
firms, and the manufactured value of each
article in the years 1923 and 1925 was then
taken from the biennial census of manufactures. In the case of certain manufactured
articles which are exported an adjustment was
made in the total figure by deducting the
average value of exports for the two years, and
in the case of such imports as immediately
enter the channels of trade, the value of the
goods w^as added. The average value of each
of the lines for the two years was then computed and from the total of the average values
for all lines the percentage represented by each

line was determined. These percentages were
then assigned to their respective lines as
weights to indicate approximately the proportion of total sales represented by each line.
Calculated by this method the total figure
representing the manufactured value of the
merchandise sold by all firms in the nine lines
represented in the index averaged $19,807,000,000 for the two years, 1923 and 1925.
This amount was distributed among the several
lines as indicated in Table IV.

figures are published on pages 876-880 of this
issue of the BULLETIN, and in more detail, by
States and cities, in Member Bank Call Keport
No. 37. The course of member bank loans,
investments, and deposits since the beginning
of 1919 is shown in the accompanying chart.
Growth in the volume of member bank
credit during the last quarter reflected for the
most part increase in the banks' loans, which
on October 10 were about $345,000,000 larger
than on June 30, as against an increase during
the same period of about $140,000,000 in investments. Since the first of the year, however,
investments have increased by about $970,000,000, or by nearly two-thirds of the total increase in member bank credit during the period.
Net demand deposits declined slightly in the
third quarter, while time deposits continued to
advance. Total net demand and time deposits
have increased by about $1,260,000,000 since
the first of the year.
The following table shows principal resources
and liabilities of all member banks for recent
call dates and changes for the third quarter
and the first three quarters of the present
year:

Comparison between condition figures for
all member banks and for member banks in
leading cities shows that growth in member
bank credit during the third quarter and
since the first of the year represents in large
measure growth in loans and investments
of member banks in leading cities. Of the
$485,000,000 increase in all member bank
loans and investments between the end of
June and October 10, $340,000,000 was in
loans and investments of member banks
in leading cities and about $145,000,000 was
in loans and investments of banks in smaller
centers. Since the beginning of the year
loans and investments have increased by
nearly $1,000,000,000 at member banks in
leading cities, and by about $560,000,000 at
member banks outside these cities. Increases
since the first of the year in the volume of
borrowing at reserve banks by member banks
in small centers was more than offset by
decline in the volume of borrowing by banks
in leading cities, and total reserve bank
accommodation for member banks showed
a decline of about $180,000,000 for the period.
Changes in principal resources and liabilities
of member banks in leading cities and in small
centers are shown in the following table:

FEDEKAL EESEKVE BULLETIN
DECEMBER, 1927
EARNINGS AND EXPENSES OF MEMBER BANKS
During the first six months of 1927 all member banks in the Federal reserve system had
combined net profits of $230,995,000. This
figure, which was nearly $23,000,000 larger
than for the preceding six months, represented
a return of 9.13 per cent on the banks' capital
funds,1 compared with 3.53 per cent for the
preceding six months and 9.34 per cent for the
first half of 1926.
Earnings and expenses of all member banks
during six-month periods since December 31,
1925, are summarized in the accompanying
table. These and other statistics of member
bank earnings and expenses presented in this
issue of the BULLETIN are based upon reports
which member banks are required to submit
semiannually, State bank members reporting
to the Federal Reserve Board and national
banks reporting to the Comptroller of the
Currency.2
EARNINGS AND EXPENSES OF ALL MEMBER BANKS,
DECEMBER 31, 1925, TO JUNE 30,
1927
A relatively small increase during the period
in gross earnings was in considerable measure
offset by increased expenses.
Year ending June 30, 1927.—During the
fiscal year 1927 net profits of all member
banks, amounting to $439,417,000, were about
$5,000,000 larger than in the preceding year
and represented a return of 8.78 per cent on
the banks' capital funds, which averaged
about $5,000,000,000a during the year.

The increase in profits during the first six
months of 1927 reflects, for the most part,
decline in amounts of losses charged off.
Capital funds include capital, surplus, and undivided profits exclusive of reserves for taxes, interest, etc., accrued.

Statistics tabulated from the reports of member State banks are
published from time to time in the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN (see p.
794 of the issue for November, 1927); national bank figures are published
in the Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Currency (see pp. 42 to
54 and 527 to 544 of the report for 1926); and all member bank statistics,
together with some analytical material, have been published in previous
issues of the BULLETIN (see pp. 402-405 of the issue for June, 1925; pp.
869-873 of the issue for December, 1925; pp. 409-414 of the issue for June,

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
The form in which member-bank earnings
and expenses are at present reported provides a
classification of interest, discount, and dividends
received, showing separately amounts received
on loans, on investments, and on balances with
other banks, and a classification of interest paid
showing amounts paid on time deposits, on
demand deposits, and on balances due to other
banks. This information first became available
for the last half of 1926 and was summarized in
the July, 1927, issue of the BULLETIN (p. 461).
Reports for the first half of 1927 now render it
possible to present figures for the entire fiscal
year.
Interest received.—Of total interest, discount, and dividends received by member
banks during 1927, amounting to $1,723,000,000, about 98 per cent was fully classified, the
balance representing interest received by banks
that were unable to supply full information
because of the form in which their records had
been kept during the year. The distribution
of the classified portion of these earnings according to the sources from which they were derived
and the approximate income rates which they
represent are shown in the following table:

and dividends received on investment holdings;
and $35,000,000, or about 2 per cent, was
interest received on balances with other banks.
Comparison of these amounts of earnings with
the average volume of the banks' loans, investments, and balances with other banks indicates
the approximate rates at which income was
earned on these assets. This rate for loans
was about 5.5 per cent, for investments about
4.7 per cent, and for balances with other banks
about 1.8 per cent. It should be borne in
mind that the averages which have been used
in calculating these rates are merely averages
of figures from condition reports for four call
dates and so only approximate the volume of
the assets to which the earnings figures may
properly be attributed.
Interest paid on deposits.—Deposit interest
amounting to $632,000,000, or about 92 per
cent of all interest paid on deposits, was fully
classified in the banks7 reports of earnings and
expenses. The distribution of classified interest on deposits as between interest paid on
time, on demand, and on balances due to other
banks, together with the approximate rates
which these payments represented, are shown
in the following table:

In calculating approximate rates of return, amounts of unclassified
interest, discount, and dividends were apportioned, in each half of the
year (for each class of member bank in each district separately), between the classes shown in the table, on the basis of the distribution
of the classified amounts. Approximate rates of return were estimated
by dividing the resulting totals for each class of earnings by averages
of the amounts of related assets from condition reports for four call
dates during the year.

Of total interest, discount, and dividends received amounting to
$1,723,487,000 for the year, $37,001,000, or 2.2 per cent, was not classified

NATIONAL SUMMARY OF BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Industry and trade were l^ss active in October than in the preceding month and were in
smaller volume than a year ago. The general
level of wholesale commodity prices showed a
further slight advance.
Production,—Production of manufactures declined in October, contrary to the usual seasonal tendency, while the output of minerals
remained in practically the same volume as in
September, In October and November activity
of iron and steel mills and of automobile plants
was smaller than at any previous period of the
year. There were also decreases during October
in cotton consumption and in the production of
building materials, crude petroleum, and boots
and shoes. The output of bituminous coal and
the number of hogs and cattle slaughtered
increased by less than the usual seasonal
amount. Production of flour, copper, and
anthracite coal showed increases in October.
Building contracts awarded increased considerably owing to unusually large awards in
New York and Chicago in the last week of the
month. The increases were largest in contracts for residential and commercial buildings.
Trade.—Trade at wholesale and retail
showed less than the usual seasonal increase in
October. Compared with October a year
ago, wholesale trade in all leading lines, except
meats and drugs, was smaller. Departmentstore sales were approximately 3 per cent
smaller than in October, 1926, while those of
mail-order houses and chain stores were somewhat larger. Inventories of merchandise
carried by wholesale firms were smaller in all
reporting lines at the end of the month than
in September. Compared with a year ago,
stocks were smaller in all lines except drugs.
Stocks of department stores increased in October
in anticipation of the growth in sales that usually
occurs in November and December, but at the
end of the month they were no larger than a
year ago.
Freight-car loadings declined in October and
the first part of November, and were smaller
than in the corresponding period of last year for
all classes of freight except grain and grain
products.
Prices.—Wholesale commodity prices increased slightly in October, continuing the
advance which began early in the summer, and
the Bureau of Labor Statistics index for
October was higher than for any previous

Unusually favorable weather during October
in agricultural States resulted in increased
yield for late fall crops. The indicated production of corn, according to the November
crop report of the Department of Agriculture,
was placed at 2,753,000,000 bushels, an increase
of 150,000,000 bushels over the estimate of the
previous month and 106,000,000 bushels over
the yield a year ago. Larger yields, as compared with the previous month's estimate were
also indicated for cotton, tobacco? and potatoes.

November there were increases in the prices
of grains, cattle, copper, hides, and rubber,
and decreases in hogs, cotton, silk, coal,
petroleum, and iron and steel.
Bank credit.—Total loans and investments of
member banks in leading cities increased by
nearly $300,000,000 during the latter part of
October and the first half of November, and
on November 16 were the highest ever reported. Investments increased by more than
$200,000,000, reflecting in large part purchases
of Treasury certificates issued on November 15,
and loans on securities increased by about
$125,000,000. Loans chiefly for commercial
and agricultural purposes declined during the
period from the seasonal peak reached early in
October.
There was a continued increase in the demand for reserve bank credit between October
19 and November 23, arising chiefly out of
further exports of gold. Discounts from member banks declined somewhat, while acceptances
and holdings of United States Government
securities increased.

Latest figures are for October—imports $2,000,000, exports
$11,000,000, and net exports $9,000,000; see table below
NOTE.—Changes from month to month in the
monetary gold stock of the United States, as shown by
the chart, represent primarily net imports or net
exports of gold; they reflect also (1) changes in the
amount of gold earmarked by the Federal reserve
banks for foreign account, (2) domestic production,
and (3) movement of gold into and out of use in
industry and the arts. Gold imports do not always
affect the monetary gold stock in the month in which
they occur, partly because some incoming gold is not
in monetary form, and gold exports do not always have
their effect in the month in which they occur because
the gold may have been withdrawn for export in the
preceding month or may be exported out of gold
previously earmarked for foreign account.

NOTE.—These tables contain, for certain months, index numbers of industrial production, together with group indexes for important components. The combined index of industrial production is computed from figures for 00 statistical series, 52 of manufactures, and 8 of minerals.
Adjustments have been made in the different industries for the varying number of working days in each month and for customary seasonal variations, and the individual products and industries have been weighted in accordance with their relative importance. The sources of data and
methods of construction were described and monthly indexes for the above groups were published in the BULLETINS for February and March, 1927.

s New index.
NOTE.—These indexes are in most cases published here on their original bases, usually 1913 or 1914, as determined by the various foreign statistical offices which compile the index numbers and furnish them to the Federal Reserve Board. In several cases, however, viz, France, Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa, they have been recomputed from original bases (1901-1910; 1901-1910; October, 1900; 1909-1913;
1910) to a 1913 base. Index numbers of commodity groups for most of the countries are also available in the office of the Division of Research
and Statistics and may be had upon request. Further information as to base periods, sources, numbers of commodities, and the period of the
month to which the figures refer may bs found on pages 769-770 of the November, 1927, BULLETIN.

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
DECEMBER, 1927
RULINGS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
Acceptances growing out of transactions involving the second acceptance arising out of the same transimportation or exportation of goods.
action or series of transactions involving the
In a number of rulings published heretofore,
the Federal Reserve Board has ruled in effect
that a bill can not be eligibile for acceptance
by a member bank or for rediscount or purchase
by a Federal reserve bank as a banker's acceptance growing out of the importation or exportation of goods if it is accepted after the goods
have reached their destination.
After careful reconsideration of this question,
the board is of the opinion that such rulings
contain an unnecessarily strict interpretation
of that provision of the Federal reserve act
which authorizes member banks to accept
drafts drawn upon them "which grow out of
transactions involving the importation or exportation of goods" and which authorizes
Federal reserve banks to rediscount such acceptances. The board is now of the opinion
that the broad language of this provision of the
act is clearly susceptible of a more liberal interpretation which would facilitate the financing
of our foreign trade and particularly the sale of
American goods abroad under circumstances
similar to those described in the ruling published
on page 638 of the FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN
for August, 1924.
The board, therefore, rules that bankers'
acceptances may properly be considered as
growing out of transactions involving the importation or exportation of goods when drawn
for the purpose of financing the sale and distribution on usual credit terms of imported or
exported goods into the channels of trade,
whether or not the bills are accepted after the
physical importation or exportation has been
completed.
Due care should be observed, however, to
prevent a duplication of financing; and a
same goods should be in effect merely an
extension of an already existing credit. Thus,
if one acceptance is issued to finance the shipment of goods to a foreign country and a
second acceptance is issued to finance the
distribution of such goods into the channels of
trade, the proceeds of the second acceptance
should be used to retire the first acceptance.
Under no circumstances should there be outstanding at any time more than one acceptance
against the same goods.
All previous rulings in conflict with this
ruling are hereby reversed in so far as h
conflict with this ruling.

Combined excess of amounts due to banks over amounts due from banks as shown by individual bank reports. When for a given bank
amounts due from banks exceed amounts due to banks, the excess due from can not be deducted in determining deposits on which reserves are
computed, and for this reason amounts in this column do not agree with the difference between aggregate amounts due to banks and due from
banks. In this calculation the amounts due to banks include due to Federal reserve banks, bankers, and trust companies, and certified and cashiers'
or treasurers' checks outstanding, and amounts due from banks include items with Federal reserve banks in process of collection, amounts due
from banks, bankers, and trust companies, and exchanges for clearing house, also checks on other banks in same place.
3 Deficiencies in reserves indicated by a minus (—) sign.

These ratios are based upon data taken from the customary abstracts of reports of condition and of earnings, expenses, and dividends. I t
should be borne in mind in using them that the statistics employed represent aggregates for all member banks reporting on the various dates, and
such ratios as are shown in the tables are therefore ratios of aggregates in which figures for large banks have a statistical influence somewhat disproportionate to their number in comparison with the figures for small banks. No adjustments have been made in the underlying data for changes
during a given year in the number of banks whose reports underlie the statistics, since the figures presented are for sufficiently large groups t h a t
the results appear not to be appreciably affected by these changes.

Total losses charged off less recoveries on assets previously charged off.

Averages of amounts from reports of condition for five call dates in the fiscal year 1926 and for four call dates in the fiscal year 1927.

Losses on loans per $100 of loans
Losses on investments per $100 of investments
1 Total losses charged off less recoveries on assets previously charged off.
2 Obtained by dividing net profits by capital funds; equivalent to the product of the two preceding ratios.
NOTE.—These ratios are based upon data taken from the customary abstracts of reports of condition and of earnings, expenses, and dividends.
It should be borne in mind in using them that the statistics employed represent aggregates for banks reporting on the various dates and such ratios
as are included in the tables are therefore ratios of aggregates, in which figures for large banks have a statistical influence somewhat disproportionate
to their number, in comparison with the figures for small banks. No adjustments have been made in the underlying data for changes during a given
year in the number of banks whose reports underlie the statistics, since the figures presented are for sufficiently large groups that the results appear
not to be appreciably affected by these changes.
