STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
.

S t.2319*
Federal Reserve Board
October 6 , 1921.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Aggregate increases of $25,100,000 in Federal reserve note circula­
tion, as against a total decline of about $ 2 1 , 000,000 in deposits and a
further gain of $4,300,000 in cash reserves, are indicated in the Federal
Reserve Board’ s weekly consolidated statement issued as at close of business
on October 5, 1921. The banks' reserve ratio regains unchanged at 69 per
cent.
Federal reserve bank holdings of bills secured by United States Gov­
ernment obligations show an increase for the week of $4,900,000, while
other discounts on hand declined by $9 , 700, 000. Holdings of acceptances
purchased in open market are shown $3 , 200,000 larger than the week before,
those of U. S. bonds and notes show a decline of $1,000,000, Pittman cer­
tificates used as cover for Federal reserve bank note circulation show a
further reduction for the week of $8,000,000, while other Treasury certifi­
cates, largely held -under repurchase agreements by the New York reserve
bank, show an increase for the week of $6,700,000. Total earning assets,
as a re suit of the changes noted, were $3 , 900,000 less than the week before.
Of the total holdings of $493,900,000 of bills secured by United
States Government obligations $342,300,000, or 69 .0 per cent, were secured
by Liberty and other United States bonds, $123,500,000, or 24*9 per cent,
- by Victory notes, $7,500,000, or 1.5 per cent, - by Treasury notes, and
$22,600,000, or 4.6 per cent, - by Treasury certificates, compared with
$346,900,000, $110,800,000, $6 , 300,000 and $26 , 900,000 reported the week
■
before.
A substantial decrease from $65,300,000 to $48,800,000 is shown in
the amount of paper held under rediscount for other reserve banks by the
Boston, New York and Cleveland banks. Rediscounts of the Richmond bank
with the New York reserve bank show a reduction for the week from
$24,900,000 to $19,500,000; Atlanta reports a reduction in bills redis­
counted with t'ne Boston and Cleveland banks from $20,100,000 to
$ 1 7 , 200, 000; Minneapolis was able to redeem the entire amount of
$5,400,000 of paper held under rediscount with the New York bank on the
previous Y/ednesday, while Dallas shows a reduction of its rediscounts .
from $14,900,000 to $12,100,000, the latter amount all held by the Boston
cank.
Government deposits are stated $1,800,000 larger than the week before,
reserve deposits show a decrease of $22,400,000, while other deposits,
composed largely of non-members’ clearing accounts and cashier's checks,
show a reduction of $400,000.
Federal reserve note circulation shows an increase for the week of
$25,100,000, New York, Atlanta and San Francisco reporting the largest
additions to their outstanding note circulation. Net liabilities of the
reserve banks on Federal reserve bank notes in circulation, on the other
hand, show a further decline of $1,800,000, the total for the first time
since 1918 falling below the $100 , 000,000 mark.
A further gain of $6,600,000 is shown in the gold reserves, the
October 5 total of $2,732,599,000 indicating a gain since January 1 of
$ 669, 800, 000, as against a loss of $40,500,000 in other cash reserves,
i. e ., silver and legals.
