Withdrawals of Government deposits aggregating $153>000,000 and reductions of $57,000,000 in other demand deposits, accompanied by a decline of about $100,000,000 in loans and investments, are indicated in the Federal Reserve Board's consolidated weekly statement of condition on July 20 of 8lU member banks in leading cities. Loans secured by Government obligations show a reduction for the week of $4,000,000, loans supported by corporate and other securities increased by $11,000,000, while other loans, largely of a commercial and industrial character, declined by $67,000,000. Corresponding changes at member banks in New York City include a reduction of $4,000,000 in loans secured by Government obligations, an increase of $16,000,000 in loans supported by other securities, and a decrease of $36,000,000 in commercial loans. Investments of the reporting banks in United States bonds and Victory notes show a nominal increase. Investments in Treasury notes declined by $11,000,000, holdings of Treasury certificates fell off about $32,000,000, indicating the active investment demand for these short-term securities, while corporate and other securities on hand show an increase of $2,000,000 for the week. For the member banks in New York City reductions of $3,000,000 in the holdings of U. S. bonds and Victory notes,of $3,000,000 in Treasury notes and of $20,000,000 in Treasury certificates, as against an increase of $3,000,000 in other securities, are noted. In consequence of the above changes, total loans and investments of the reporting institutions declined below 15 billions, the July 20 total of $14,951>000,COO being the lowest since July 25, 1919, a n d 13-5 per cent below the peak shown on October 15 of last year. Accommodation of reporting banks at the Federal reserve banks • shows a decrease for the week from $1,154,000,000 to $1,150,000,000, the ratio of accommodation to total loans and investments remaining unchanged at 7-7 per cent. In New York City an increase from $312,000,000 to $313:000,000 in the total borrowings from the local reserve bank, with no change in the ratio of accorar-odation, is shown. As against the above mentioned considerable decreases in Government and other demand deposits, the member banks report an increase of $2,000,000 in time deposits. For the banks in New York City reductions of $81,000,000 in Government deposits, - of $3,000,000 in other demand deposits and of $2,000,000 in time deposits are shown. The nnch smaller decline in demand deposits at the New York City . banks is due' apparently in part to transfers of funds from country correspondents. Reserve balances of the reporting banks with the Federal reserve banks declined about $20,000,000, and cash in vault - $17,000,000. For New York City members corresponding declines of $10,000,000 and $9,000,000 are noted. Released for publication Friday afternoon, July 29, 1921; not earlier.
