STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
Gains of about 24*6 millions in gold reserves accompanied by increases of 84,4
millions in net deposits and of 44,3 millions in Federal Reserve note circulation
are indicated by the Federal Reserve Board's weekly bark statement issued as at
close of business June 28, 1918,
INVESTMENTS: Net liquidation of discounted bills, amounting to 124 millions, is
reported by tne New York bank. For the System as a whole a decrease of but 62*1
millions in discounts is shown, Chicago, St, Louis and Minneapolis reporting consi­
derable increases in their holdings of this class of paper« Of the total discounts
on hand about 50 per cent as against 58.4 per cent the week before is represented by
war paper> i . e . , members1 collateral notes and customers1 paper secured by U.S* war
obligations. Acceptances on hand fell off 15*6 millions, New York, Richmond, Chi­
cago and San Francisco reporting the largest decreases* U*S» short term obligations
show an increase of 183 millions, the New York bank holding 195 millions of Treasury
certificates pending the collection of checks and other items received in payment of
war taxes, No material changes are shown in other earning assets,
DEPOSITS: Government deposits declined about 74«9 millions, New York and Chicago
reporting the largest withdrawals of Government funds. Members1 reserve deposits
increased 92 #6 millions, while net deposits r?hcw an increase of 84*4 millions.
RESERVES; Total reserves show a gain of £5*1 millions, the week witnessing considerable c^oncentration of funds at the New York bank* The ratio of cash reserves
to combined net deposit and Federal Reserve note liabilities shows a decline from
63 A to 61,7 per cent,
FEDERAL RESERVE CIRCULATIONt Additional net issues of Federal Reserve notes
during the week aggregated 43 <,3 millions* Federal Reserve notes in actual circula­
tion increased 44,3 millions# Four banks report an aggregate liability on Federal
Reserve bank notes in circulation of 10*4 millions as against 9«9 millions the week
before.
CAPITAL: An increase of $ 88 >000 in paid-in capital is due largely to payment
for Federal Reserve bank stock by newly admitted members, the New York bank alone
reporting an increase under this head of $60,000#
y

CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, JUNE 21, 1918,

Further reduction in-the holdings of certificates of indebtedness, accompanied
by considerable withdrawals of demand deposits, is indicated in the Board's weekly
statement,showing condition on June 21 of 695 member banks in about 100 leading
cities,
U.S. bonds with the circulation privilege show an increase for the week of
about 2 millions, while other U.S. bonds, including Liberty bonds, went up about 6
millions. Redemption on June 18 of
4-1/2% Treasury certifi­
cates accounts apparently for most of the reduction of 224.4 millions in certificates
held. Over 75 per cent of the total decrease is reported by the Central Reserve city
banks and about 20 per cent by the banks in the other Reserve cities. Loans secured
by war bonds and Treasury certificates show a decline of about 6.6 millions notwith­
standing a slight increase in such loans shown for the central reserve city banks•
Other loans and investments of all reporting banks increased 139.4 millions largely
at banks outside the central reserve cities. As a result of the large decrease in
the holdings of certificates the ratio of U.S. war securities to total loans and in­
vestments of reporting banks shows the very substantial decline from 16,4 to 13,9per cent, For the banks in the three central reserve cities this ratio declined
from 20.6 to i8*4 per cent.
Aggregate net demand deposits fell off nearly 300 millions, apparently in con­
nection with the heavy tax payments due about the middle of the month. Time depos­
i t s of banks outside the Central reserve cities increased about 46,4 millions.
Government deposits went up 18.3 millions, though the banks in the central reserve
' cities show a decrease under this head of 12.4 millions, Alongside with the reduc­
tion in depdsits there is shown a decrease of 78.9 millions in reserves, largely ft>r
- the bank's inrthe central reserve cities. Cash in vault shows a gain of 21,5 mill­
ions .
For all reporting banks the ratio of investments to total net deposits shows an
increase from 119 to 1-21.3 per cent. For.the central reserve city banks this ratio
owing-to the relatively larger decrease
shews a smaller increase from
112.4 to 113,5 per cent. The ratio of combined reserve and cash to total net depos­
its shows a decline from 15 to 14,9 per cent for all reporting banks, and from 16
to 15.6 per cent for the central reserve eity banks. Excess reserves declined from
129»2 to 82.9 millions for all reporting banks, and from 75.8 to 46.7 millions for
the bagks in,the central reserve cities<
