July 20, 1918. •

Aggravate gains of 1 5 .4 millions in gold reserves accompanied by an equally
large increase in investments and a Slightly larger gain in Federal Eeserve note
circulation are indicated in the Federal Reserve Board's vreekly bank statement
issued as at close of business 0.1 July 19, 1912 ,
INVESTMENTS: Discounted paper on hand shows an increase for the week of 43.5
millions mainly at the Chicago, Kansas City and Philadelphia banks. Of the total
discounts shown, 601.U millions, as against 606.6 millions the *veek before, is rep­
resented by war paper, i .e ., member banks' notes and customers1 paper secured by
U.S. war obligations. Acceptances on hand indicate net liquidation of 12.5 Million
for the week and of 122.9 Millions since March 22 when tne maximum holdings of this
class of p a p e r , r e p o r t e d .
Redaction by the Government of 15 millions of cert if
icates held by the New York bank on June 12 accounts largely for the decrease in
Government securities shown. Total earning assets increased 15.4 millions.
DEPOSITS: Government deposits show a decrease of 24,6 millions, largely at th
Cleveland, Chicago and Atlanta banks. Members' reserve deposits increased
millions, all the banks except those at St,Louis and Dallas reporting gains for the
week. Met deposits increased about 1} millions.
R5SSBVES: Transfers of Government funds from other F.R. banks resulted in con­
siderable concentration of reserves at the New York bank, which holds at present ■
43.5 per cent of the total cash reserves of the System as against 32 per cent the
week before. The ratio of reserves to aggregate deposit and F.R. note liabilities
shows a slight decline from 59,9 to 59.8 per cent.
—
F> R, CIRCULATION: Daring the week the Agents issued 18»9 millions net of F,R>
notes. The banks report an increase of 15.6 millions of F.R. notes in actual cir­
culation besides a slight increase in their liability on F, R. bank notes in
circulation.
CAPITAL: Payment by aewlyradmitted members for F.R. bank stock accounts large­
ly for an increase of $59#000 in paid-in capital, chiefly of the Chicago and New
York banks.
CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, JULY 12, 1918
Substantial gains in deposits accompanied by somewhat sr/all er increases in
loans and investments are i n d i c a t e d t h e weekly statement of condition on July 12
of over J00 member banks in leading cities.
Notwithstanding the largernumber of reporting banks the holdings of U.S. bonds,
other than circulation bonds, show*,' a decrease for the week of 4.5 millions. On the
other hand, certificates of indebtedness, notwithstanding the redemption by the gov­
ernment on July 9 of the outstanding balance of the April 10 issue, increased 122. f'
millions, of which over 80 millions represents the increase under this head for tlu-.
banks in the three central reserve cities. Other loans and investments show an in­
crease of i^O.U millions though for the central reserve city banks a decline e^ual^y
large is noted. As a result of the week’ s developments the share of U.S. war obli­
gations in the total loans and investments shows a rise from 13,3 to l 4.1 per cent.
For the central reserve city banks a rise from 15 to 16.3 per cent is noted.
Government deposits decreased during the week 99*2 millions, largely at the
banks outside the central reserve cities.
demand deposits went up about 271
millions, of which 152.6 millions represents the gain at the central reserve city
banks. A gain of 23.1 millions in time deposits is confined largely to country
banks. Total reserves show an increase of 62.3 millions, chiefly for the central
reserve city banks, while cash in vault -.vent up 15 •3 millions.
Owing to the slightly larger gain in deposits the ratio of aggregate loans ar.d
investments to deposits declined from 123*6 to 123*1 per cent. For the central r:serve city banks this ratio shows a decline from H 5.3 to 113.3 per cent. The raJ,iof combined reserve and cash to deposits shows an increase from 14.2 to 14.? per
cent 1 or all reporting banks, and from 15«1 to 15«7 per cent for the banks in the
central reserve cities. Total aatcess reserves, in the calculation of which no a c ­
count is taken of government deposits, increased from 38.9 to 69.9 millions, by i?i
the larger part of the increase falling to the share of the central reserve ciJ:y
banks.

STATEMENT JOE THE PRESS.

X-10S9

July 27 , 191S.

Substantial increases- in discount activity, also considerable gains in Government^deposits by the Reserve banks outside of l-'ev/ York and Boston, are indicated ill
the federal Reserve Board's weekly statement iss’aed as at close of business on
/ July 26, 191S,
IiWESTiJSLfTSAll the banks, except . Hew York report net additions to discoun­
ted bills on hand, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Kansas City showing the
largest gains. Of the total discounts on hand, $675 , 665,000 as against $601,403,000
tho week before is represented by war paper, i .e ., member banks' notes secured by
ovemment war obligations and customers' paper similarly secured. No appreciable
changes are shown in other earning assets, including acceptances and U.S. securities
DEPOSITS; Government deposits at all banks, except Boston and New York, show
considerable increases, the total gain for the week being S3.2 millions. Members'
reserve deposits fell off 52*9 millions, all the banks except
Xansas City report­
ing net reductions in reserve balances, apparently as the result of payment by mem­
ber banks for Treasury certificates of the more recent issues. Net deposits show an
increase for the week of 56.2 millions.
RESERVES: Gold reserves decreased by 1.2 millions and total cash reserves by
l.o millions. The amount of gold held with foreign agencies shows a further reduc­
tion to 11.6 millions, as against 5^*5 millions held during the first half of the
year. ^The ratio of total reserves to aggregate deposit and Federal Reserve note
liabilities declined from 59*2 to 5S.I per cent.
•
—
CIRCULATION: During the week the Agents issued 16.9 millions net of Feder­
al eserve notes.^ The banks report an increase of 4-1.8 millions of Federal Reserve
notes in actual circulation besides a snail increase in their liability on Federal
Reserve bank notes in circulation.
Payment by newly admitted members for Federal Reserve bank stock ac­
counts^ largely for an increase of $ 53,000 in paid-in capital, Richmond, Minneapolis
and Chicago reporting the largest increases for the week.
CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, JULY 1 9 , 1913 ,
tion ht*?* r®^uctions in the holdings of Treasury certificates following the redemp­
tion by the Government on July IS of the balance of the A p r i l 22 certificate i s s u e
accompanied by slightly larger withdrawals of Government deposits are indicated by*
the weekly statement of condition on July 19 of 717 member banks in leading cities.
g res or the Dallas district for the latter date were not available and July 12
figures had therefore to be repeated in the consolidated statement.
U.S. bonds, other than circulation bonds, on hand increased 33.9 millions, apt ific a t L af el i eof?SSn^ f
