STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
August 11, 1917 *
Loan operations of the Unitsd States Govo3\imont, preceded by treaisfors
of funds through tho Gold Settlement Fund from New York to tho interior,
followed by a return movement of funds to Now York for Government account;
are largely responsible for tho changes in rescrvw and doposits reported by
the Federal Reserve Banks as at close of business on August 10, 1917*
ordor to provide funds for the payment of tho 3OO millions of United States
Certificates of Indebtedness allotted during tho wook, the banks in tho interior
apparently drow heavily upon their correspondents in New York.
The funds
roceivod by tho Government are being concentrated in New York for disburse
ment by the Federal Reserve Bank*
Similar movements of funds, though on a
smp,llor scale, probably were also occasioned by the Canadian Government loan
of 100 millions, which was placed to She credit of that Government at Now York
on August 9th, the day when payments for the- latest issue of Certificates of
indebtedness woro made.
The week witnessed further disbursements by the New
York Bank of 93 millions in favor of tho British^ French,Italian and Serbian
Governments.
^ ° t a l cash reserves of the banks show an increase for the week of 2#7
millions* The New York bank records a decroaso of 38*5 millions in total roscrv
largely in fe.vor of Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, St a Lduis and San Fran
cisco#
Largo credit balances due these banks by New York have boon itibBtastia.1
reduced or oven turned into debit balances*
The aggregate of balances due
from Federal Reserve Banks, which usually exceeds the total of balances due
together Federal Reserve Banks, is this week $ 1 , 655,000 below the total "due
to *
Trds is caused probably by the receipt in less tha.n schedule time of
items forwarded for credit or collection to oth«rr Federal Reserve Banks, the
receiving banks giving credit for those items before the forwarding banks had
charged thum to the account of the bank to which they had been forwarded.
Tho reserve position of tfc^ banks shows a further improvement, the note re
serve percentage in particular showing a gain of 1.9 P$r cent, following the
substitution, mainly by tho Now York Bank, of largo amounts of gold for
commercial paper held by the Agents agp.inst Federal Reserve notes.
Largely as the result of the discount in sofiio volume of collateral notes,
the total discounts held show an increaso for the week of about 3*3 millions*
Of thy total of 134*2 millions of discounted paper on hand, 44*1 millions, or
about one-third, is represented by collateral notes discounted for member
banks, and of the latter 12,6 millions, as against S*2 millions the week beore, are secured by United States securities issued in connection with
Liberty Loan operations*
Liquidation on a largo scale of acceptances is
indicated by^the comparative holdings of this paper, the more recent figures
being^24*4 millions below those reported the week before*
An increase of
7*1 ndllions in the total of United States short-term securities reflects
largely tho temporary holdings of
^ Treasury certificates pending dis
posal to ultimate purchasers.
Aggregate earing assets, 359*2 millions, are 15*1 millions below the
total shown the wa&k before, and constitute at present about 620 per cent
of the banks1 paid-in c?vpital«
Of the tfctal* acceptances constitute 41*7
per cent; discounts 37*4 p6r cent; United Staios securities 20*6 per cent
and warrants 0*3 por cent*
Increases in capital and surplus of member banks and admission to the
Federal Reserve System of the Bankers* Trust and Savings Bank of Minneapolis
and the Iowa Loan and Trust Company of Dos Moines account for tho increaso of
about $89^000 in tho capital account of tho Federal Reserve Banks*
Govern
ment deposits show an increa.se for the week of 83*7 millions, while reserve
deposits show a decline of 91*3 millionsThe Fedor?J. Reserve Bank of
Kansas C^ty reports an increase of $ 1 ,3 5 ^ 0 ^ 0 in its liability on Federal
Reserve#Bank notes in circulation*
Federal Reserve Agents give tho total
of notes outstanding as $ 601, 227 , 000, secured by $485, 467,000 of gold and
$125,588,000 of paper,
Tho banks report a total actual F*R*note circulation
of $549,244,000, an increase of $8,459,000 for the week.

STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
August 18,
1917 *
Substantial increases in bills held,, including both paper discounted
and acceptances purchased in open market, also large net withdrawals of
Government deposits are indicated by the Feddral Reserve Board's weekly
bank statement issued as at close of business on August 17, 1917*
Member banks'reserve deposits show a gain almost as large as the
loss shown in Government deposits,
New York and soaie of the interior
banks reporting considerable increases in reserve deposits.
Acting as
fiscal agent for the Government New York
paid during the week 90
millions to the allied Governments of Great Britain and France, while an
additional 20 millions was transferred from the banks to Washington for
account of the Treesurer of the United States, part of these funds coming
from depository banks*
Large amounts received by the Federal reserve
banks tin account of the third installment (30 per cent) of the Liberty
Loan, were redeposited with qualifying number and non-member banks#
Aggregate gold and cash reserves show but little Change, though there has
been considerable shifting of reserves from ftew York to other Federal
Reserve banks.
The ratio of cash reserve to net deposits declined during
the week from 79*3 to 7 7 »4 per cent, while the note reserve percentage
shows a rise from 90.1 to 91.7 per cent.
Discounted paper on hand increased about 9*7 millions, most of the banks
reporting considerable gains under this head*
Of the total on hand 44*7
millions, as against 4 4 .1 millions the week before, is represented by
member banks' collateral notes.
Nearly 25 per cent of these notes were
secured by United States Liberty Bonds or United States Certificates of
Indebtedness, the total, 11.1 millions, being about 1»5 millions below the
corresponding total of a week ago.
Acceptances on hand show a gain of about 5*5 millions, feoston, Phila
delphia and San Francisco reporting the largest additions' to their holdings
of this class of paper*
The increase in United States bonds on hand is
probably of a temporary character sending the final allotment of Liberty
bonds to ultimate purchasers.
Holdings of municipal warrants indicate
Continued liquidation.
Total earning assets show a gain of about 17 millions and constitute
647 per cent of the banks' paid-in capital, compared with 620 per cent
shown the week before.
Of the total, 4 1 .3 per cent is represented by
acceptances, 38.2 per cent by discounts, 20.2 per cent by U. S. securities,
and 0.3 per cent by warrants.
Admission to membership in the system of the State Bank of Chicago and
liquidation of some member banks in other districts account for the in
crease of $123,000 in capital account.
Government deposits with the New
York bank.declined about 6l .l millions and with all banks about 3^*3
millions.
The smaller decline in total Government deposits is evidently
due to the large installment payments received by the other banks on
account of the Liberty Loan, a portion of which is still on hand. Member
bank reserve deposits increased 29.2 millions, all the banks, except
Philadelphia, Richmond and Kansas City^ reporting appreciable gains for the
week ,
Kanaas City reports an increase in its liability on account of Federal
reserve bank notes in circulation from $4,182,000 to $4,9^7„i000« Federal
reserve agents give a total of $ 613 , 646,000 of notes outstanding, secured
by $502,588,000 of gold and $120,711,000 of paper.
The banks report a
total actual Federal reserve note circulation of $558*782,000, an increase
$9>538,000 for the week.
