Debits to individual accounts, as reported by banks in leading cities for
the week ended February 14, which included only five business days in many of the
reporting centers, aggregated $6,920,000,000, or 16 percent below the total reported
for the preceding week and 2 percent below the total for the corresponding week of
last year, which also included only five business days in many of the reporting
centers.
Aggregate debits for the 141 cities for which a separate total has been
maintained since January 1919 amounted to $6,317,000,000, compared with
$7,520,000,000 the preceding week and $6,500,000,000 the week ended February 15 of
