STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
May 20, 1916,
Transfers of an additional instalment of reserves by member banks
outside of central reserve cities, due on May 16, are responsible for the
considerable gains in bank deposits, also in gold and cash holdings of the
Federal reserve banks shown by the weekly bank statement made public
by the Federal Reserve Board as at close of business on May 19, 1916,
The net bank deposits of the Federal reserve banks show an increase
for the week of 35.2 millions, all the banks except New York reporting
substantial gains under this head.
The latter bank reports a decrease
in net bank deposits and an increase of 7.9 million dollars in the amount
due to other Federal reserve banks.
As the total amount of discounts
on hand - 19.8 millions - is less than the like amount shown at the end
of the previous week, the additional reserves were paid !* apparently
in cash or in form of exchange, on New York mainly.
The total gain
in cash was 24.3 millions, all the banks, except St, Louis and Dallas
reporting larger cash holdings than the week before,
The latter two
banks show, however, largely increased balances due from other Federal
reserve banks, which, when turned into cash, will inorease their reserve
holdings.
The gold holdings of the banks increased about 14.4 millions,
the New York bank showing a decrease of 2,9 millions in £old, transferred
to other Federal reserve banks through the Gold Settlement Fund.
This
decrease is more than offset by an increase of 8 million dollars in
other cash, representing in part transfers of reserves by member banks
of the district outside of New York City,
Discounted bills on hand are below 20 millions, the smallest
figure shown for the past 14 months and only 27,5 per cent of the total
paper held by the banks.
The decreases are largest in the casd of the
Richmond and Atlanta banks, whose holdings of discounted paper declined
about 47 per cent since the beginning of the year, while the total dis­
counts held by the Dallas bank increased slightly as the result of larger
holdings of bills with longer maturities.
There has been an increase
for the week of about 3 millions in the amount of acceptances held, all
the banks active in the acceptance field, except Chicago, showing larger
holdings than the week before.
United States bonds on hand increased
$569,000 as the reault of fresh purchases by 5 banks. No change is
shown in the amounts of 3 per cent Treasury notes on hand*
The total
earning assets of the banks increased $7,558,000 and constitute now
313,7 per cent of the total paid-in capital, compared with 300 per cen
the week before and about 190 per cent three months previous.
Of the
total earning assets acceptances represent now 30»3 per cent; United
States bonds,. 30,1 per cent; warrants, 25,9 per cent; discounts, 11,5 per
cent; and Treasury notes, 2.2 per cent.
Government deposits increased during the week about 2.3 millions,
the Chicago bank reporting the largest gain under this head.
The reserve
position of the banks shows but little change since the week before, ex­
cept that the ratio of gold against liabilities has declined from 68,1
to 66,4 per cent.
There has been a slight decrease in the amount of Federal reserve
bank notes in actual circulation. Federal Reserve Agents report a total
of 186 millions of Federal reserve notes outstanding, against which they
hold $176,693,000 of gold and $10,720,000 of paper.
The banks report
a total of $L58,239,000 of Federal reserve notes in circulation, Their
aggregate net liabilities on the notes received from the Agents is given
as $8,018,000,

STATEMENT? FOR THE PRESS.
May 27, 1916.

Bank deposits and cash resources of the Federal Reserve banks show
further increases of 13,7 and 14e8 millions as the result of additional

serve Board as at close of business on May 26,
Combined gold reserves

The New York bank's gold holdings decreased since the previous week
by 4 ,6 millions, of which 2.1 milliorswas deposited with the Federal
Reserve Agent to reduce the bank's liability on outstanding Federal re­
serve notes,
This decrease is offset in part by a decrease of about
3 millions in the amount due to other Federal reserve banks. The bank's
gain during the week in cash other than gold, was about 4 .8 millions,
leaving the total cash reserve of the bank practically unchanged. The
Cleveland and Kansas City banks show the largest gains in gold, mainly
by transfers from Chicago and New York through the Gold Settlement Fund.
The gold resources of the system, including the amounts of gold
held by the Federal Reserve Agents against Federal reserve notes out­
standing, total at present $515,255,000, compared with $526,213,000
about three months previous.
The decrease in the Agents' gold hold­
ings since February 25, was $7,659,000, while the banks show a decrease
of gold during the same period of $3,299,000, or a total decrease for
the system of nearly 11 millions, notwithstanding the gain of about
25 millions in gold deposited by member banks during the past two weeks.
As against this decrease in gold holdings the investments of the banks
show an increase during the quarter of $66,885,000, and their note
circulation - a decrease of $11,979,000.
It is evident, therefore, that
practically all investments for the quarter have been paid for in gold.
Discounted paper on hand increased during the week over one half
millinn, the St. Louis bank reporting the largest gain.
Acceptances
on hand show an equal gain, notwithstanding the smaller figures shown
for the Boston and New York banks.
Of the total bills on hand, 37.7
per cent mature within 30 days and 33.9 per cent after 30 but within
60 days.
The amount of agricultural and live-stock paper maturing
after 90 days was $3,668,000, or 18 per cent of the total discounts
held. About two-thirds of this class of paper was held by the Dallas,
Kansas City and Chicago banks. The holdings of United States bonds
show an increase of $105,000, three banks reporting bond transactions
for the week.
No change appears in the amount of one-year Treasury
notes held by the banks. The net addition to warrants on hand is less
than one-half million dollars, San Francisco reporting the largest gain
under this head.




-2 -

673.

Over 30 per cent of the total earning assets Is represented by
acceptances, slightly less than 30 per cent by United States bonds,
nearly 26 per cent by warrants, less than 12 per cent by discounts,
and over 2 per cent by Treasury notes.
The ratio of earning assets
to paid-in capital stands at present at 317 per cent compared with
314 per cent the week before, and 195 per cent about 3 months pre­
vious,
Government deposits increased about 3,7 millions,, mainly
with the New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco banks. Increases
in bank deposits are shown for all the Reserve banka except Atlanta.
Federal Reserve bank notes in circulation decreased slightly
during the week.
Federal Reserve Agents report $187,248,000 of
Federal reserve notes idoued, against which they hold $178,116,000 of
gold and $10,208,000 of paper*
T$e banks show a total of $159,389,000
of Federal reserve notes in circulation, and aggregate liabilities
upon notes issued to them by the Agents of $7,706,000, the lowest
figure reported since March 12, 1915.
