STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS*

February 10, 1917*
Resumption of investment operations >y the Federal reserve >aaks,
resulting in
substantial I]' increased holdings of acceptances, and moderate additions to discounts and warrants on hand is indicated by the
Federal Reserve Board1s weekly statement issued to-day a 3 at close cf
business on February 9, 1917«
Net liquidations, by 25 per cent, of the Federal reserve banks1
earning assets during, the early part of the year m s coincident with
low market rates on commercial and bank paper. During the past week,
with larger offerings of paper at rising rates, the Federal reserve banks
were able freely to extend their facilities to the banking community and
still maintain their combined cash reserve at about 75 Per cent*
Gold reserves of the banks show a decrease of 32*9 millions, more
than fully accounted for by net withdrawals of gold from the New York,
Chicago and St*Louis banks* Combined cash reserves show a reduction od
3^*4 millions- A considerable part of the gold withdrawn from the banksr
reserves has been transferred to the Federal reserve agents against Fed­
eral reserve notes. As the banks hold at present $722,000, lese'of Fed­
eral reserve notes than the week before, it is manifest that the amount
of Federal reserve notes thus received from the agents during the past
week was all paid out in the purchase of paper and securities.

Discounts on hand show a gain of nearly." 1.5 millions. The total
shown includes $3,465^000 of member banks1 collateral notes, as against
$1,951,000 reported the week before* Heavy purchases of acceptances
by nearly all the banks have increased the holdings of this classof pa­
per by about 19 millions. Transactions in U* S* bonds are reported by
9 banks, resulting in a decrease of. the total on hand by $1,080,000.
There has been no change in the amount of one-year Treasury notes l$eld*
Municipal warrants on hand show an increase of about 2*2 millions.
Total earning assets - $191,242,000, show an increase for the week
of $21 , 562, 000 , and constitute at present 3 U3 per cent of the banks*
paid-in capital, compared with 305 per cent the week before. Of the to*k,al
•
’ 5^*6 per cent is represented by acceptances;
15*4 per cent
by U. S. bonds;
9.7 per cent by Treasury notes; 8.5 P$r cent by discounts,
and 7 *8 per cent dy warrants*
The decrease in ^all other resourcesTt is
caused by the disposal of a large part of national fcank notes on hand.
Government deposits show a considerable decline, most of the banks
reporting heavy withdrawals of Government funds for the week. Member
bank reserve deposits show a decrease of about 11.7 millions, the three
eastern banka reporting the largest reductions under this head. The
amount of float carried by the Federal reserve banks, as me loured by th£
difference between asset item ^Uncollected Items” and liability item
"Collection Items”, stands at present at $24,018,000, of which $17,324,000 represents transfer drafts purchase', largely by western banks,
Federal reserve agents re;ort the io^ue of $308,348,000, net, of
F. R, notes, an increase f ot the week of $17,771,000. Against the total
issued they hold $288, 720,000 of gold and $ 21 , 715,000 of paper* The

fcauaks report an outstanding Federal reserve note circulation of $278,,
, and aggregate liabilities thereon of $ ,

STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS*
February 17, 1917*

Continued gains in the volume of the acceptance' business and of
discount operations; as well as substantial increases in member banks'
deposits, are indicated by the weekly bank statement of the Federal Re­
serve Board made public today as at close of business on February 16 ,
1917 .
Aggregate gold reserves of the banks increased by 3*5 millions
and in addition the gold holdings of the system increased by about 8*5
millions transferred to the Federal Reserve Agents against Federal re­
serve notes, which apparently were used by the banks to pay for in­
vestments made during the week.
The New York bank reports an increase of about l4.6 millions in
its gold reserve, largely the result of transfers from other Federal
reserve banks of credits on the books of the Gold Settlement Fund for
purchases, of acceptances made for their account. Atlanta’ s gain of
about 0.9 million, in cash reserve is coincident with an increase of
reserve deposits and the liquidation of its favorable balance in account
with other Federal reserve banks. In the case of the Chicago bank the
increase for the week of about 2 millions in cash reserve goes hand in
hand with a corresponding reduction in the volume of transfer drafts
bought but not j^et collected.
Discounted paper on hand increased about 3*3 millions; the Boston
bank reporting the largest addition
to its holdings of commercial
paper. Of the total held, $4,7^3,000, as against $3,465,000 the week
before, is represented by member banks1 collateral notes, held at present
by 9 banks.
All the banks, except Atlanta, report additions to their
holdings of acceptances, the total gain for the week being nearly l4
millions.
No material changes in the volume of United States securi­
ties on hand are reported for the week.
The amount of warrants is about
1.8 millions larger than the week before.
Total earning assets increased about I 9.2 millions and constitute
at present 377 Per cent of the banks' paid-in capital, as against 3^3
per cent shown the week before.
Of the total nearly 60 per cent is
represented by acceptances! over l4 per cent by United States bonds; 9*3
per cent by discounts; 8.8 per cent by Treasury notes, and 7*9 Per cent
by warrants.
The aggregate capital of the banks shows an increase of about
$60,000 largely the result of the admission to membership of the Com­
monwealth Trust Company of Eoston.
A further reduction of about 4*7 millions is shown for Government
deposits.
Member banks' reserve deposits increased 10.4 millions,
Philadelphia and Atlanta reporting the largest gaiisunder this head.
Federal reserve notes issued by the Agents b»re reached a total of
$321,453,000, an increase of $13,105,000 for the week.
Against the
total the Agents hold $297,270,000 of gold and $26,746,000 of paper.
The banks report a total of $291,839,000 of Federal reserve notes in
circulation and aggregate liabilities thereon of $17,089,000.
