XNot earlier*

Considerable shifting of funds., both geograp'; ically a.nd between banks.,
nas been the outstanding feature of the operations of the Federal Reserve
system for the week ending August
191? as shown by the usual weekly bank
statement of the Federal Reserve Board.
These changes were the direct re­
sult of Government financing, the effects of the second issue of Treasury
short-term certificates for Aurust, amounting to
O millions, becoming evi­
dent during the week while considerable payments to the Allied Governments
were again made*
In spite of these operations the general position cf the
system, both with respect to total resources and reserve position, varied but
slightly.. Aggregate assets at the close of business on the thirty-first of
August were
millions as against 2001 millions a week earlier, while total
reserves were IU
millions as comrared with lh2b millions on August 24.
Gold held by the Federal Reserve banks and Federal Reserve Agents shows a net
reduction on both accounts of about
million dollars»
JJuring the week there were withdrawn from Liberty Loan depositaries in
i'.ew \ork about
millions which with some
millions received on account of
tho August
installment on the Liberty Loan &ad 4 total withdrawal frcn vhe
market of about 128 millions,
In'the aggregate
ffov* T&rK bank collected
about I I millions on account of the certificates and redeposited
millions*
a^ments were made to French Government representatives on Treasury account^in
r,e bum of 40 millions, to British representatives 35 millions, and to Russian
rw-piobentatives 47 * millions, a total of
‘m illions*
In order to strength^a^ances
New York to meet the payments called for there were trans5Urin- *the W69k f rom. other. Federal Reserve banks a total of 23 millions,
W
? oame froni Boston, 10 from Philadelphia, and 2 each from Cleveland;
~cnmor,a and MinneapolisTen millions of the funds available were, however,
^ 5 ° ^ ^ 1errefjL 0k‘ the Federal Reserve bank of New York to Chicago.
On August
2± Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco each transferred 5 millions to
tne United States Treasurer,
The net results of the week’s operations grewGovernment financing has been, however, to leave the advances
Oi Federal Reserve banks on this score at a very moderate figureThe casn
ressrves^for the week against net deposit lia b ilitie s fell from 8 0 . to
13*9/°'
ihe total of collateral notes protected by United States securities
held on August ~}1 was 1 1
millions as against 8 ,4 millions a week earlier,
tne figure for August 24 being itself the smallest since Government borrowing
operations oegan*
Total collateral notes held aggregated only 44v6 millions
.^ August
as ayainst 3^*5 on August 24, the increase being, therefore, but
h.o millions above that produced by the slight increase in collateral notes
protected by United States securities w
^
Total earning assets show a material increase for the week rising from
.
millions to
I millions, an advance produced chiefly by the increase m ■
bills discounted for members from 128 millions to 147 millions, and represented
per^ cent of the ■oaid-in capital of the Reserve banks on August yi as compared with 624 per cent on August 24.
Acceptances constituted 40*6 per cent
of the total earning assets/ discounts 3^*7 per cent, United States securities
20*4 per cent, and warrants 0*3 Per cent*
Bills bought in the open market
fell off slightly, declining from 159*5 millions to I U
millions*
Changes
m Government securities and municipal warrants have been of a purely minor
nature.
Acceptances held are distributed in practically the same way as a
week ago, minor declines and ^c T ria 1
^ s /here and there in acceptance heldings. .
Member banks reserve deposits show a falling off from 1121 millions to 10/0
millions, while Government deposits as the result of the recent borrowings
increased from
millions to I U millions*
Additions to Capital stock of member banks and the movement of State
banj.es into the Federal Reserve system ^ e reflected in an increase in capital
stock from 58-5 millions to 5^*9 millions - Sffi?is /included $90,000 in Boston,
$92,000 in Chicago, $93,000 in Cleveland, $111,000 in Kansas City, and $28,000
in Minneapolis*
The week! s operations show an increase of Federal Reserve notes in ac­
tual circulation from
millions to ®
millions, while those outstanding
increased from
millions to 644-9 millions*
The volume of notes held by
tne banks continued nearly stable, rising slightly to 57 millions on Aurust
31.
Federal Reserve agents held U
millions in gold and
millions in
paper to protect outstanding circulation*
