CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

Further gains of 2 4 ,S millions in gold and of 22.1 millions
in total cash reserves, accompanied by an increase of 68.4 mil­
lions in net deposits and by a reduction of 36.8 millions in Fed­
eral Reserve note circulation, are indicated in the Federal Res­
erve Board's weekly bank statement issued as at close of business
on March 11, 1921. The reserve ratio shows a further slight rise
for the week from 50*8 to 50*9 Per cent.
As against moderate reductions in the holdings of bills se­
cured by Victory notes and Treasury certificates, those of bills
secured by Liberty and other U. S. bonds show an increase of
28.6 millidns, and other discounts on hand - an increase of 2.8
millions. On the other hand, holdings of acceptances purchased
in open market are shown 17»^ millions less and Treasury cer­
tificates - about 2 millions less than on the preceding Friday.
Total earning assets, accordingly, show an increase for the week
of 7.6 millions to 2 , 796.6 millions, compared with 3 >221.9 mil­
lions reported on March 12 of last year. Of the total holdings
of 1,006 millions of paper secured by U . S. Government obligations,
627.5 millions, or 62 ,4 per cent, were secured by Liberty and
other U. S. bonds; 269.7 millions, or 26.8 per cent, by Victory
notes and 108.8 millions, or 10.8 per cent, by Treasury certi­
ficates, compared with 598.-9 > 273*7 and 109-2 millions shown the
week before.
Discounted bills held by the Cleveland Reserve Bank are
shown inclusive of 13*5 millions of bills discounted for the
Dallas Bank, compared with 12.4 millions the week before, while
acceptance holdings of the Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland and
San Francisco Banks are given inclusive of 13*7 millions of bank
acceptances purchased from the New York Bank, compared with 18,9
millions reported on the previous Friday., Aggregate contingent
liabilities on bank acceptances held for account of foreign cor­
respondents show an increase from 18.2 to 3‘+-*+ millions.
All classes of deposits were substantially larger than at
the close of the previous week: Government deposits - by 2k.6
millions, reserve deposits - by 26.1 millions and other deposits
- by 6.7 millions. Moreover, the volume of the "float"carried
by the Reserve Banks and treated as a deduction from immediately
available deposits was about 1.1 millions less than on the previous
Friday, with the consequence that calculated net deposits show an
increase for the week of 68.4 millions.
During the week under review, the circulation of Federal Res­
erve notes declined by 36.8 millions, all Reserve Banks except
the Cleveland Bank reporting substantial reductions in their out­
standing circulation. Total Federal Reserve note circulation is
given as 3 , 005.8 millions, or about 3 I+ millions less than on the
corresponding date last year. Federal Reserve Bank note circulation
shows a decline of 3 millions during the week, as against a de­
cline of 8 .4 millions for the corresponding week a year ago.
