June 2, 1921.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.
Aggregate gains of $15,800,000 of gold and of $10,600,000 of total
cash reserves, as against increases of $ l4 ,4-00,000 in deposits and
of $16,500,000 in Federal Reserve note circulation, are indicated
in the Federal Reserve Board's weekly bank statement issued as at
close of "business on June 1 , 1921, The banks' reserve ratio shows
a slight decline for the week from 57*6 to 57*4 per cent.
Reserve bank holdings of paper secured by U. S, Government obli­
gations show a reduction of $ 20, 100 , 000, largely of paper secured by
Liberty bonds, while other discounts on hand increased by $76,100,000.
Acceptances purchased in open market aggregated about $10,000,000 less
than on the previous Wednesday, Pittman certificates on deposit with
the Treasury to secure Federal Reserve bank note circulation show a
reduction of $6,500,000, while other Treasury certificates, largely
special certificates and certificates held under repurchase agreement
by the New York Reserve Bank, fell off $40,200,000. An increase of
$7,300,000 in U , S, bond holdings represents largely the temporary
taking over by the Reserve bank of Atlanta under repurchase agree­
ments of Liberty bonds heretofore pledged with the bank as col­
lateral for Government paper. Total earning assets of the banks,
as the result of the above changes, showed an increase for the week
of $6,600,000 and on June 1 stood at $2,269,700,000, compared with
^3,276,600,000 about a year ago.
Of the total holdings of $773,900,000 of paper secured by U .S.
Government obligations, $498,400,000, or 64.4 per cent, were secured
by Liberty.and other U. S. bonds; $222,900,000, or 28.8 per cent, by Victory notes, and $52,600,000, or 6,8 per cent, - by Treasury,
certificates, compared with $ 516 , 800, 000, $ 223, 700, 000, and
$53,400,000 shown the week before.
Discounted paper held by the Boston and New York banks includes
$31,800,000 of bills discounted for the Richmond, Minneapolis and
Dallas banks, compared with about $30,000,000 held under discount
the week before by the Boston, New York and Cleveland Reserve banks.
Of the larger total, $26,300,000, as against $25,300,000 the week
before, is carried by New York for the Richmond and Minneapolis banks.
Government deposits show an increase for the week of about
$1 5 , 000,000, reserve deposits increased by about $ 1 , 000, 000, while
other deposits, composed largely of non-members' clearing accounts
and cashier's checks, fell off about $1 , 600, 000.
Federal Reserve note circulation, for the first time since the
weekly report of February 25, shows an increase for the week, though
the June 1 total of $2,751,300,000 is still $653,600,000, or 19 per
cent, below the peak on December 23, 1920, and about $376,000,000,
12 per cent ,below the total reported on June 4 of last year. Net
liabilities of the banks on Federal Reserve bank notes in circulation
show a further reduction for the week of $1 , 300,000 to $14 3 , 500, 000,
compared with $1 8 1 , 300,000 about a year ago.
