STATEMENT FOR THE PEES S.
June 22 > ISIS
Liquidation in some volume of investments accompanied by corresponding reduc
tions in reserve deposits is indicated by the Federal Reserve Board’ s weekly
bank statement, issued afe at close of business on June 21, 1918.
INVESTMENTS: Discounted bills on hand show a decrease of 84.7 millions, the
larger^dggregate decrease under this head shown for the New York, Atlanta, Kansas
City and Dallas banks being offset in part by gains at the Chicago, Philadelphia
and Cleveland banks. Owing to redemption of Treasury certificates due on June 18
aggregate holdings of war paper decreased from 653*9 to 544.2 millions, consti­
tuting 58*4 per cent of the total discounts as against 64.3 per cent the week be­
fore. Acceptances on hand fell off about 10.5 millions, mainly at New York and
Chicago, But little change is shown in the amounts of Government securities car­
ried by the Reserve banks* Total earning assets indicate net liquidation of 92.8
millions for the week.
DEPOSITS: Government deposits show an increase of 3.9 millions, while mem­
bers '^Teserve deposits fell off about 90.4 millions. Net deposits because of the
larger "float 11 represented by items received in payment of taxes show a decrease
of 143.4 millions.
RESERVES: Failure to synchronize entries of gold transfers between Federal
Reserve Banks is largely responsible for the apparent loss of 22*5 millions in
gold reserves. Because of the large decrease in net deposits the ratio of cash
reserves to combined net deposit and Federal Reserve note liabilities shows an
increase from 61.9 to 63.4 per cent,
FEDERAL RESERVE CIRCULATION: Federal Reserve Agents report additional net
issues of 12*1 millions of notes* The banks show a total increase in actual cir­
culation of 26.5 millions of Federal Reserve notes and a slight decrease in their
Federal Reserve bank note liability.
CAPITAL: An increase of $59,000 in paid-in capital is due largely to payment
for Federal Reserve bank stock by newly admitted members, the San Francisco bank
reporting the largest increase for the week.
CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, JUNE 14, 1918.
Substantial gains in net demand and Government deposits, accompanied by much
smaller increases in loans and investments are indicated in the Board’s weekly
abstract of condition on June 14 of 689 member banks and trust companies in about
100 leading cities.
During the week under review the reporting banks decreased their holdings of
U.S. bonds, other than circulation bonds, by 8.8 millions and their holdings of
Treasury certificates by 66.8 millions. Total loans secured by U.S. war obliga­
tions declined about 4.1 millions. Other loans and investments show an increase
of 143.6 millions, mainly in the Eastern districts, where tax payments were
heaviest. Of the total loans and investments the share of U.S. war obligations
and loans secured by such obligations declined from 17.1 to 16.4 per cent,
Net demand deposits of all reporting banks increased 166.1 millions, the in­
crease for the member banks in the four Eastern districts alone being 134.2 mill­
ions r Time deposits fell off 37,4 millions, the decrease being especially large
for reserve city members in the Chicago district, outside Chicago proper.
The
week witnessed a net increase of 103.1 millions in Government deposits, this in­
crease apparently representing tax funds redeposited in Eastern depositary insti­
tutions, largely in New England and New York, Aggregate reserves show a gain for
the week of 80.7 millions, while cash in vault decreased 11,4 millions>
Owing to the relatively large gain in deposits the ratio of investments to
total deposits of all reporting banks shows a decline from 111 to 109,3 per cent.
For the central Reserve city banks this ratio declined from 107,4 to 106.5 per
cent. The ratio of combined reserves and cash to total deposits because of the
more than proportionate increase in reserve, went up froi 13.5 to 13.8 per cent
for all reporting banks, and from 14,9 to 15.2 per cent for the Central Reserve
city banks. Total excess reserves show a gain from 66,8 to 129*2 millions. For
the Central Reserve city banks a corresponding gain from 57.8 to 75.8 millions
is rioted.
