CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS.
Moderate liquidation of all classes of investments, except certificates of in­
debtedness, is indicated ty the Federal Reserve Board's weekly statement showing con­
dition on August S of 770 member banks in leading cities.
Payment by member banks outside of New York City for 1920 loan and tax certifi­
cates

*

accounts for the total increase of

total holdings of certificates of indebtedness.

25 •£

millions shown in the

For the New York banks a net de­

crease under this head of 10*5 millions is noted.

United States bonds on hand show a

decline of 3-*^ millions, Victory notes - a decline of

8.5

millions, while war paper

holdings decreased 2 6 .8 millions*. largely at the Now York banks.

All other loans and

investments fell off l6.S millions, the New York and Chicago banks showing most of
the decrease.
Aggregate holdings of United States war securities and war paper declined from
3^70 to 3^56.6 millions and constitute, just as the week before,
total loans and investments, of all reporting banks.
decline in this ratio from

27*5

to

26.9

23 *^- per

cent of the

For the New York City banks a

per cent is noted.

Government deposits went up 3^*3 millions, and time deposits - 21.2 millions.
Demand deposits (net) show declines of

63*6

and 5*3 millions for the New York City

and Chicago banks; the total decline for all reporting banks is considerably less,
viz:

31*9

millions,

owing to the gains under this head reported by the .banks outside

the two largest bank centers.

Total reserve balances with the Federal Reserve banks

show but a nominal charge, while cash in vault went up 12*2 millions.

Discounts with

the Federal Reserve banks, as measured by the amounts of collateral notes and custom­
ers* paper held for reporting banks, show but little change for the week.
