CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS.
May 31, 19 *9
Following the first payment on account of the Victory Loan, the
Federal Reserve Board's statement of condition on ?fey 23 of 773_ member
banks in selected cities shows a reduction of 444*4* millions in the
holdings of Treasury certificates as against a net,increase of 189*4
millions in other u« S. securities, besides an increase of 300.6
millions in loans secured by Government war obligations, including
Victory notes.
For the member banks in Now York City a reduction of
227 >1
m illions in certificates on hand is shown, accompanied by increases
of 4 0 . 6 m illions in U 5 S» securities and 3 1 * 7 m i l l i o n s i n l o a n s secuted by u. S« war obligations, pending the segregation of Victory
notes in the weekly statement accurate figures of holdings of the
newly issued securities can not
‘ be given, thowgh it is probable
that most of the banks have included these notes with Liberty bonds»
&ther loans and investments of all reporting banks went up 26.6
millions, possibly as the result of the inclusion under this head of
Victory notes by some of the banks* For the New York City banks this
item shows an increase of 4o »1 millions.
For a ll reporting banks the aggregate of Ui S# war securities and
war paper shows an apparent decline from 3 ,9 8 4 .9 to 3 ,8 3 0 .4 millions,
constituting 26.2 per cent of total loans and investments as against
2 7 * 1 per cent the week before*
For the New York City banks this ratio
shows a decline from 30 »9 to 28.6 per cent.
As against an increase of 193 * 1 m illions in Government deposits,
there is shown a reduction of 200-8 m illions in other demand deposits
(n e t ). For the Now York City banks decreases are shown in both Gov­
ernment and other demand deposits, apparently as the result of large
withdrawals fran local depositories and the large drafts on these banks
by country correspondents in connection with Victory loan payments.
In
keeping with the f a l l in demand deposits other than Government deposits,
reserve balances with the F„ R, banks declined 19-8 m illions, a ll outside
New York. Cash in vault shows a nominal decrease of 1 .4 millions-

CONDITION 0? MEMBER BANKS •
June 7, 1319 •
Net withdrawals of 8&.J millions of Government deposits and corres­
ponding increases of demand and time deposit accounts are indicated by the
Federal Reserve Board's weekly statement of condition on May 29 of 772
member banks in selected cities.
Treasury certificates on hand show a decline for the week of 33*3
millions, the greater portion of the decline being reported by the New York
City members.

Holdings of o&her U .S . war securities, including Victory

notes, declined 11.9 millions, notwithstanding a slight inerease under
this head shorn for the New York City banks.

This decline presumably

reflects payments by customers on account of war securities bought on the
installment plan.

Loans secured by U -S. war obligations (so-called

war paper) increased 1 5 «2 millions, largely at the New York banks, while
all other loans and investments increased 46-5 millions, all classes of
banks sharing in this increase.

Aggregate holdings of U .S . war obligations

and war paper decreased from 3322,3 to 3737-2 millions, and constitute

25.9 per cent of the loans and investments of all reporting banks, as
against 2$ .2 per cent the week before .

For the New York member banks a

decline in this ratio from 28*5 to 23 .3 P~r cent -may be noted
Of the total increase of 71-1 millions in net demand, other than
Government, deposits about 43 millions represents the increase at the
New York banks,

this increase about equalling the net withdrawals of the

Government from these banks.
Reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Banks decreased 1 2 .1
millions and cash in vault l4 .5 millions
