CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS IN LEADING CITIES.
Increases of 66.7 millions in Government deposits and of 105,2 millions in
other demand deposits* in connection with the issue of a new series of Treasury
certificates and payments of interest and dividend checks falling due on April 1,
are indicated by the Federal Reserve Board's statement of condition on April 2 of
SIX

nanber "hanks in selected cities•
Treasury certificate holdings show an increase for the week of 53.2 millions,

largely at the member banks in New York City, while other Government securities on
hand show a slight decline. Loans secured by Government war obligations%inclusive
of paper held under rediscount by the Federal Reserve banks, declined 3-1 millions.
Loans secured by stocks and bonds^ 3^*3 millions, the banks outside of New York
City reporting by far*the larger portion of the decrease• All other loans and investments, including paper held under discount by the Reserve banks, show a reduction of 1.5 millions for all reporting banks, and of 6o»4 millions in New York
City, the decrease at the New York banks being accompanied by a large reduction in
the banks1 borrowings from their Reserve bank. Total loans and investments show an
increase of 12.9 millions for all reporting banks, but a decrease of 22*2 millions
for the New York City members.
In connection with the large increases in demand, including Government, deposits the banks1 reserve balances with the Federal Reserve banks increased by
22.9 millions, the New York City banks reporting an increase under this head of
7*3 millions, as against a reduction of 6*1 millions shown for the member banks in
Chicago.
Total accommodation at the Federal Reserve banks shows a reduction for the
week of 65#5 millions, larger reductions under this head for the New York member
banks being offset to some extent by increases reported by the Chicago banks and
by banks outsida^Federal Reserve bank and branch cities. War papsr^xmder

dis-

count for reporting members by the Federal Reserve banks shows a reduction from
1,202.1 to l,l44„3 millions, while other discounted paper declined from $12,1 to
903•4 millions.
