St.2$UU.
Federal Reserve Board
January 12, 1922-

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Return to the reserve banks of large .amounts of Federal reserve notes
and other currency, and substantial reduction in deposit lia b ilitie s, ac­
companied by commensurate liquidation of discounted ana purchased, bills, are
indicated in the Federal Reserve Board's weekly consolidated bank statement
issued as at close of business on January 11, 1922- Gold reserves shc.v a
further gain of $20 , 300 , 000, while other reserve cash, composed largely of
silver certificates and United States notes, increased by $11,200,000The
banks' reserve ratio’ shows a rise for the week frcm 7 1*1 to 7^*7 P®r cent.
Reserve bank holdings of paper secured by Government obligations show a
reduction for the week of $ 5 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 , Other discounted bills on hand de­
clined by $ 7 5 , 100 , 000, while holdings of bills purchased in open market,
■largely by the New York reserve bank, because of the considerable decline of
money rates in the open market, fell off $’4 0 ,1 00 ,0 0 0 . United gtates bonds
and notes show an increase of $3 ,5 0 0,00 0 , Pittman certificates show no change,
.vhile other Treasury certificates, held largely under repurchase agreements by
the Nev York and Chicago banks, shew a reduction of $15>^00,000, a larger re­
duction sho^n for these two banks being offset in part by considerable pur­
chases reported by the Boston bank. A slight increase frcm $379>000 to
$3S5,C0C is shown in the total of municipal warrants held by the Philadelphia,
Minneapolis and Kansas City banks- Total earning assets, in consequence of the
changes noted, are shown $177,100,000 less than the week before and on January
11 stood at $1,293>800,000, compared with $2 , S bS, 500,000 about a year agoAll classes of Government paper, except bills secured by treasury notes,
show substantial declines for the keek. Bills secured by Liberty and other
U. S. bonds decreased frcm $331,500,000 to $306,800,000. bills secured by
Victory notes - from $52,1 00 ,0 0 0 to $5*+, 600,000, and bills secured by Treasury
certificates - frcm $ 6 ^ ,0 0 0 ,COO to $33>200,000, while bills secured by
Treasury notes increased frcm $2 3 ,^00 ,0 0 0 to $32,900,000Government deposits are shown $53>COO,0C0 less than the week before- Re­
serve deposits increased by $ U , 200, 000, while other deposits, composed largely
of non-members1 clearing accounts and cashier's checks, fell off $3 ,^ 00, 000.
Federal reserve note circulation shows a reduction for the week of
$ 1 1 1 , 500, 000, compared with a reauction of $ 1 1 0 , 500,000 during the correspond­
ing week in 1921- Aggregate lia b ilitie s of the reserve banks on Federal re­
serve bank notes in circulation show a slight increase, though the amount out­
standing, according to Treasury records, shows a decline of $ 1 ,^ 0 0 ,0 0 0 for the
week.
