BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
(For Immediate Release)
October 12, 1955
CONDITION OF WEEKLY REPORTING MEMBER BANKS IN LEADING CITIES

The condition statement of weekly reporting member banks in leading cities
shows the following principal changes for the week ended October 5: Decreases of
SU55 million in demand deposits adjusted and $25U million in United States Government deposits, and an increase of $661* million in demand deposits credited to
domestic banks.
Figures shown in the attached tables—particularly those for commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans and real estate loans—have been revised to correct
classification errors disclosed in a recent survey of credit extended to real
estate mortgage lenders. Reporting banks were asked to reclassify loans as of
October 5, furnishing data on both the old and new basis for that date; they were
not asked to revise prior figures. The amounts shown for these classifications in
the first column below are on the revised basis; the changes since September 28,
1955 and October 6, 19 5U, shown in the second and third columns, are on the old
basis before revisions. In future releases, the year-ago comparisons will be
between current revised figures and year-ago unrevised figures. The major effects
of the revisions are to increase commercial and industrial loans by #280 million
and to decrease real estate loans by the same amount.
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans increased $U9 million during
the week before the reclassification. Changes according to industry appear in
another press release, together with the reclassification changes by districts.
A summary of assets and liabilities of reporting member banks follows:
