June 16, 1921.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.
Aggregate reductions of over $200,000,000 in the bill holdings of the
Federal Reserve banks, more than offset, however, by an increase of nearly
$ 300, 000,000 in special certificates taken by the banks to cover temporary
advances to the Treasury, accompanied by an increase of $194,000,000 in
deposits and a further reduction of $36,000,000 in Federal Reserve note
circulation, are indicated in the Federal Reserve Board's weekly bank state­
ment issued as at close of business on June 15, 1921*
Government operations on that date included the redemption of over
$400,000,000 of tax certificates, the payment of semi-annual interest on
First Liberty bonds and on Victory notes, the handling of income and ex­
cess profits tax payments and the issuance of a series of 3-year Treasury
notes and of another series of 1 -year tax certificates, aggregating each
over $300, 000, 000.
Redemption of Treasury certificates enabled member banks to liquidate
considerably their indebtedness to the Federal Reserve Banks. Accordingly
loans secured by Government obligations held by the Reserve banks declined
by $ 82, 700, 000, while other discounted bills on hand declined by about
$106,000,000, Holdings of acceptances purchased in open market fell off
$1 6 , 300, 600, while Pittman certificates on deposit with the Treasury to
secure Federal Reserve bank note circulation decreased by $3,000,000. All
the banks, except that of Minneapolis, report advances to the Government
pending receipt of funds from depositary institutions, the total amounting
to about $300,000,COO covered by special certificates. In consequence of
the above changes total earning assets of the Reserve banks show an increase
of $93,200,000 and on June 15 stood at $2,313,800,000, or about 24 per cent
below the total reported on June IS of last year.
Of the total holdings of $664,300,000 of paper secured by United States
Government obligation^,$450, 900,000, or 67.9 per cent were secured by Liberty
and other U, S, bonds; $181,300,000, or 27 .3 per cent - by Victory notes;
over $31,000,000, or 4 ,7 per cent,- by Treasury certificates and $1,100,000
by newly issued Treasury notes, compared with $483,500,000, $213,500,000 and
$50, 000,000 shown the week before.
During the week under review, the amount of Federal Reserve inter-bank
accommodation increased from $ 25 , 000,000 to $ 37 , 500, 000, of which over
$30,000,000 is held by New York for the Richmond and Minneapolis Reserve
banks and the remainder by Boston for the Dallas Reserve bank.
As against a further reduction of $5,700,000 in Government deposits
reserve deposits show an increase of $132,400,000, and other deposits, com­
posed largely of non-members’ clearing accounts and cashier's checks - an
increase of $17,500,000. Federal Reserve note circulation shows a further
decline for the week of $36,300,000, the June 15 total of $2,674,400,000
being 21 per cent below the peak figure of December 23, 1920, and $430,400,000,
or about 14 per cent, below the total reported on June 18 of last year. Federal
Reserve bank net liabilities on Federal reserve bank notes in circulation 3how
a decrease of ? 6 ,000,000 to $13 5 . 000,000, compared with $ 183 ,900,000 about a
year ago.
The banks report a further gain for the week of $14,900,000 of gold, also
a gain of $8,200,000 of other reserve cash. Notwithstanding the substantial
gains in cash reserves and the reduction in Federal Reserve note circulation,
the reserve ratio of the banks, because of the much larger increase in deposit
liabilities, shows a decline for the week from 53.3 to 56.8 per cent.
