Board of Governors

November 12, 1935

For immediate r e l e a s e
STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS

Beginning t h i s week the weekly condition statement of reporting member
banks, issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, w i l l cover
reporting banks in 101 leading c i t i e s as i t did p r i o r to the banking holiday in
1933, instead of 91 c i t i e s as i n the recent p a s t . When p u b l i c a t i o n of the s t a t e ment was resinned following the banking holiday, c e r t a i n c i t i e s were dropped from
the published statement temporarily because a l l or some of the important reporting
banks i n each of those c i t i e s had not then been licensed to resume f u l l banking
operations.
The weekly statement has been revised f u r t h e r so as to show a d d i t i o n a l
items which have been reported to the Board since September 19 3^ • The amount of
"Loans to banks" was included heretofore p a r t l y in "Loans on s e c u r i t i e s - to
others" and p a r t l y in "Other loans". The item "Demand deposits - adjusted" r e p r e sents the t o t a l eunount of demand deposits standing to the c r e d i t of individuals,
p a r t n e r s h i p s , corporations, a s s o c i a t i o n s , S t a t e s , counties, m u n i c i p a l i t i e s , e t c . ,
minus the amount of cash items reported as on hand or in process of c o l l e c t i o n .
The new item i s a more accurate measure of changes in the volume of demand deposits
available f o r use of the general public than was the old item "Net demand deposits",
which represented merely demand deposits subject to l e g a l reserve requirements.
The method of computing the item "Net demand deposits", furthermore, has been
changed in two respects i n accordance with provisions of the Banking Act of 1935 :
f i r s t , i t includes United States Government deposits, against which reserves must
now be carried, while previously these deposits required no reserves, and, second,
amounts due from banks are now deducted from gross demand deposits, r a t h e r than
solely from amounts due to bai&s as was required under the old law. These changes
make the f i g u r e s of "Net demand deposits" not comparable with those shown p r i o r to
August 23, 1935. The item. "Time deposits" d i f f e r s from that previously published
in that i t formerly included a r e l a t i v e l y small amount of time deposits of other
banks, which a r e now included in "Inter-bank deposits". The item "Due to banks"
shown heretofore in the statement included only demand balances of domestic banks.
The item "Borrowings" represents funds received, on b i l l s payable and rediscounts,
from the Federal Reserve banks and from other sources. Figures are shown also f o r
"Capital account", "Other a s s e t s - net" and "Other l i a b i l i t i e s " . By "Other a s s e t s net" i s meant the aggregate of a l l a s s e t s not otherwise s p e c i f i e d , l e s s cash items
reported as on hand or in process of collection which, as previously indicated, have
been deducted from demand d e p o s i t s .
Data by weeks since September 5» 193^» f o r a l l reporting member banks, f o r
reporting banks in New York, and f o r those in other leading c i t i e s , corresponding
with the f i g u r e s f o r the current week, w i l l be published i n the forthcoming issue
of the Federal Reserve B u l l e t i n ,
