Federal Reserve Board
May 19, 1921 •

Fiscal operations of the Government, including the redemption on and
after -lay 16 of ever $200,000,000 of Treasury certificates, payment of the
semi-annual interest on the Second Liberty bonds and issuance of about
$256,000,000 of new loan certificates are reflected in the Federal Reserve
Board's latest weekly bank statement issued as at close of business on
Hay 18, 1921 Redemption of Treasury certificates enabled the member banks to reduce
considerably their indebtedness to the Reserve banks- Ums the latter's
holdings of paper secured by Government obligations declined by $142,800,000
and those cf other discounted paper - by about $50,000,000. Acceptances
purchased in open market show an increase of $5,100,000, while Pittman
certificates fell off $3,000,000- An in c r e a s e d $125,300,000 in other
Treasury certificates is due m the first place to the taking by five Reserve
banks of $91,000,000 of special certificates tc cover advances to the Govern­
ment^ pending collection of funds from depositary institutions, also to the
purcnase oy the New York Reserve bank of certificates from local member banks.
In consequence of the above changes, total earning assets show a further
decline of $65,100,000, and on May 18 stood at $2,314,000,000, compared with
$3,221,400,000 on May 21 of last year.
Of the total holdings of $774,900,000 of paper secured by Government
obligations, $512,500,000, or 66.1 per cent, were secured by Liberty and
other U. S. bonds; $215,400,000, or 27-8 per cent,- by Victory notes, and
I 7(000,000, or 6 .1 per cent - by Treasury certificates, compared with
§578,900,000, $250,100,000 and $88,700,000 reported the week before.
Discounted paper held by the New York Bank includes $17,800,000 of
bills discounted for the Richmond and Minneapolis banks, while bills held
y the Boston an- Cleveland hanks include $6,100,000 of bills discounted
for the Dallas bank, the total of bills ^ disco'unted for other Reserve
banks thus showing an increase for the week from $lU, 300,000 to $ 23, 500, 000.
Government deposits axe shown $1,800,000 larger than the week before
reserve deposits show a decrease of $ 22, 500, 000, other deposits, compesed’
v
cashier's checks and non-members1 clearing accounts, increased
by 93,^ 00, 000, and total deposits decreased by $ l 6 ,800,000•
P'es3rve note circulation shows a further decline for the week
of $37,500,000, the May 18 total of $2,767,400,000 being $637,500,000, or
15.7 per cent, below the peak figure of December 23 , 1920, and 10.3 per cent
below the total reported on May 21 of last year.
For
the week the banks report a further gain of $ 15 , 300,000 of gold
reserves, largely through purchases of imported gold, as against a loss of
about ^>4,000,COO in silver and legals. The caabined result of a gain of
$11,300,000 in reserves and of the above mentioned reductions in deposits
and note liabilities, is seen in a rise of the reserve ratio from 55-9 to
56.8 per cent.
