CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS IN LEADING CITIES
Tax payments due on December 15 and the seiries cf Government
operations connected with the redemption and i s s u e of tax c e r t i f i c a t e s were mainly responsible f o r the changes i n the banking corv
d i t i o n indicated by December 17 reports of 824 member banks in
leading c i t i e s . About 400 m i l l i o n s of Government funds are shown
on d e p o s i t w i t h reporting member banks, an i n c r e a s e of
millions
for the week; which enabled the member banks to reduce by 112 m i l l i o n s
t h e i r borrowings from the Reserve Banks notwithstanding the large
i n c r e a s e i n the reporting banks' loans and investments,
Holdings of United States bonds and Victory n o t e s shew an i n crease of 5*4 m i l l i o n s , while those of Treasury c e r t i f i c a t e s went
up about 120 m i l l i o n s at a l l reporting banks, and ^0.5 m i l l i o n s at
the New York City member banks« Loans secured by Government war
o b l i g a t i o n s increased by 7*5 m i l l i o n s , loans supported by corporate
s e c u r i t i e s - by 3 6 . 4 m i l l i o n s and other loans and investments, composed l a r g e l y of commercial loans and d i s c o u n t s , - by 52.5 m i l l i o n s .
For the New York City banks a s l i g h t decrease i n loans secured by
Government war o b l i g a t i o n s , as a g a i n s t a 25*8 m i l l i o n increase i n
loans supported by,corporate s e c u r i t i e s and a 6 . 6 m i l l i o n , increase
i n other loans and investments, are shown. Total loans and i n v e s t ments of a l l reporting i n s t i t u t i o n s are shown 221.7 m i l l i o n s larger
than on the preceding Friday, the corresponding i n c r e a s e f o r the New

shows a reduction for the Week from 2 , l 4 4 . 1 to 2 , 0 3 2
m i l l i o n s , or
frcn 12-9 to 12.1 per cent of the banks' t o t a l loans and investments.
For the New York City banks a reduction in accommodation at the l o c a l
Reserve Bank from 822.9 to 752-9 m i l l i o n s i s shown", reducing the r a t i o
of accommodation from about 15 to 13*4 per c e n t .
It may be w o r t h w h i l e n o t i n g that the large increase of 382-7
m i l l i o n s i n Government d e p o s i t s - representing to a large e x t e n t the
proceeds of income and excess p r o f i t s taxes - is o coi^siderably larger
than the corresponding i n c r e a s e s shown for t h e / t h r e e F r i d a y s of the
present year f o l l o w i n g the quarterly tax i n s t a l l m e n t s * The New York
City banks report a corresponding increase of 190«3 m i l l i o n s for the
week, which i s l i k e w i s e larger than the gains shown on Fridays f o l lowing the previous quarterly t a x d a t e s . Other demand d e p o s i t s (net)
show a reduction of 51 • ! m i l l i o n s , while time d e p o s i t s f e l l o f f 19*3
m i l l i o n s . In New York City n e t demand d e p o s i t s increased by 2 1 . 8
m i l l i o n s , while time d e p o s i t s f e l l o f f 11.8 m i l l i o n s .
Reserve balances, i n keeping w i t h the large reductions i n member
banks' borrowings frcm the Reserve Banks, show a d e c l i n e of 31
m i l l i o n s , while cash i n vault shows an i n c r e a s e f o r the week of about
5 m i l l i o n s . For the New York City banks d e c r e a s e s of 4 , 7 m i l l i o n s
i n reserve balances and of 2.7 m i l l i o n s in cash are n o t e d .
