October 20, 1917*
Liquidation in some volume of commercial and bank paper and decreases in
bank deposits of all but two of the Federal reserve banks are indicated by the
Federal Reserve Board's weekly statement issued as at close of business on
October 19, 1917* Reserves against deposits show a decline for the week of l4«6
millions, while gold reserves agsinst Federal reserve notes increased about 39*6
millions. Aggregate bank reserves show a net gain for the week of about 25 mil
lions, the total reserves cf the twelve banks for the first time passing beyond
the 1500 million mark. During the week the Government received payment through th
reserve banks for the ninth issue of United States certificates of indebtedness.
These payments were made largely through credits to Government account on the
bocks of subscribing depositary banks. A relatively Small part of these payments
were made in cash to the Federal reserve banks.
The,New York Bank reports a gain in reserve of lUi5 millions following net
liquidation of bills, including member banks* collateral notes. All classes of
deposits held by the Bank show considerable declines, following large withdrawals
Of fuhds by the Government frcm depositary( banks all over the country for its own
needs as well as those of the allied governitt&nts. The New York Bank reports a
total of 92 millions disbursed to foreign g6vernmentS| Of which 40 millions went
to France, 25 millions each to Great Britain and Italy and 2 millions to Belgium.
Discounted bills held by the banks show a decrease for the week of 6.5 mil
lions, the larger decreases at the New York, Boston and Richmond Banks being off
set to a large extent by gains shown for the nine other banks. Of the total bills
on hand 1S&4-,6 millions were in the shape of member banks* collateral notes, of
which lUU»7 millions,
against 130*8 millions the week before, were secured by
Liberty bonds or United States certificates of indebtedness. Purchased bills on
hand show a decline of lU.2 millions, all the banks, except New York, reporting
smaller holdings of acceptances than the week before. Over
of all the
paper on hand matures within 15 days and nearly two-thirds - within 30 days. Ho
material changes are shown in the banks' holdings of Government securities and
of municipal warrants.
Total earning assets show a decline of 21.6 millions and constitute at pres
ent 907 per cent of the banks' paid-in capital, compared with 953 Per cent shown
the week before. Of the total, discounts constitute 51*1 Per cent; acceptances,
30.6 per cent; and Government securities, I S .3 per cent.
Admission to membership
the Bankers Trust Company of New York accounts
for $ 690,000 of the total increase of $7*+3jOOO in capital account, the balance
of the increase reflecting increases in capital and surplus of member banks.
Government deposits outside of New York show large gains, representing in part
cash payments rsceived for certificates of indebtedness and Liberty bonds
the
second issue. A decrease of 3^*8 millions is shown in -iotal reserve deposits, all
of the banks, except Chicago a d Dallas, reporting smaller figures than the weak
before. Non-members' clearing deposits rsported by seven banks show
decrease
9*1 millions, presumably the result of shifting the Bankers Trusty&SSB®# free; the
non-member into the member column.
The week witnessed further net issues by all the banks of $37 , 853*000 of Fed
eral reserve notes. As the amount of gold cover for the notes increased during
the week by 39*6 millions, the itote ^aeerve shows an increase from 75*7 'to 77*3
per cent* The banks report a total Federal reserve note circulation of $815,210, 000, an increase of $35 , 325,000 for the week.

STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS.
October 27,1917
Discounting on a. large scale for members in New York and Chicago mainly
in connection with Government loan transactions, is indicated by the Federal
Reserve Board's weekly bank statement as at close of business on October 26
1917,
The- week witnessed the close of the second Liberty loan campaign as well
as subscriptions to the tenth issue of short-term United States certificates
of indebtedness* The Federal Reserve banks rendered liberal assistance to
their members by discounting commercial paper as well as their member^
• own notes secured either by commercial and bank paper or Liberty bonds and
certificates. As a result the reserve banks' holdings of discounted paper
of 611 classes show an increase for the week of about -110 millions. Of this
total, 07,2 millions represents the increase in members' collateral notes,
which aggregate at present 271»7 millions, or nearly 70 per cent of tW total
discounts hald. About 209.2 millions of these notes, as against 144i>7 millions the week before, are secured by Liberty bonds or certificates of
indebtedness.
Loan operations were heaviest at the New York Bank, w;hich reports a
total increase of 102*4 millions in earning assets, 86 millions represent
ing an increase in discounts, 6*6 millions an increase in acceptances and
10 millions an increase in United States certificates, cf indebtedness*
Against this large increase in investments the Bank reports an increase
of 43*5 millions in total net deposits, of 9.3 millions in Federal reserve
note circulation and a loss of 47»7 millions in reserve t Advances P&i^
through the Mew York Bank to foreign governments amounted to §92 millions
for the week. Of the total, 4o millions went to France, 25 millions each to
Great Britain and Italy and ?2 millions to Belgium#
The banks' reserves show a gain If 32.4 millions., chiefly of gold, the
nir.fi banks outside the Central Reserve Cities Reporting substantial increases
in their g6ld and total cash holdings. Federal reserve notes irt Circulat:ion
show a like increase. The banks' deposit reserve shows a decline from 74.5
to 70,3 per cent and their note reserve from 77*3 to 73.8 per cent.
Discount Operations outside of New York were largest at. the Chicago,
St. Louis and Kansas City flanks,-the increase fif paper on hand reported by
these thrfee banks being confined almost entirely to'member banks 1 collateral
notes* New York and Cleveland report also substantial increases in their ho
ings of purchased paper..
Aside from the purchs.se of 10 millions of United States certificates of
indebtedness by the New York Bank, none of the banks:.report any material
changes in the aihounts of United States securities: on h^nd.. .Total earnings
assets of the bonks increased about 124 t2 millions for the week and cons itute at present 1094 per cent of the banks1 paid-in capital as against 9
per cent the week before. Of the total, 58#0 per cent is represented by
discounts; 25»9 per cent by acceptances; arid 16.1 per cent by United States
securities,
Admission to membership of the Central and Metropolitan Trust Companies
of New York City accounts largely for the increase of $782,000 in capital
account* Payments received for certificates <£f indebtedness and on accoun
of the second Liberty loan are largely responsible for the increase in.
Government deposits reported by nearly every bank, the total standing to i e
credit of the Government being 55.9 millions in excess of the total shown
the week before. Increasesin reserve deposits were largest at the New York* ^
Cleveland and San Francisco Banks* A decrease of 7.9 millions in non-members
clearing deposits reported by the New York Bank results largely from the snif
ing to the reserve qolumn of the newly admitted members' clearing accounts..
There was a net increase of $28,109,000 in the total of F e d e r a l reserve
notes outstanding, all the Agents except those at Chicago and San Francisco
rep;.’ting additional note issues for the 1/rfeek. Against the toT,r.;. issued,^ ^
$903,387,000, the Agents hold at present $614,692,000 of gold and y303 ,704,00
of paper. The banks report a total actual Federal Reserve note circulation c..
0847,506,000, an increase of 032,296,000 for the week,
