INVESTMENTS: Holdings of war paper, i.e., discounted bills secured by U.S. war obligations, show an increase for the week of 41.6 millions and constitute at present 59.1 por cent of the Reserve banks' total earning assets, compared with 57 per cent the week before. Other discounted bills on hand decreased about 4l millions while holdings of bills purchased in open market went up 3 »4 millions and of Govern-*, ment short term securities -1-5 millions. Total earning assets increased about 5-4 millions for the week. . DEPOSITS: Government deposits show considerable increases in the 4 Eastern banks, with a total gain for the week of 86-1 millions. Almost corresponding de- creases at these banks are shown in members 1 reserve deposits, the total decline for the week being 96 millions. Net deposits show an increase of 4.2 millions. RESERVES? Gold reserves increased during the week about 10.2 millions, while total cash reserves went up 9 millions. The banks' reserve percentage shows a slight rise from 4g,8 to 4g,9 per cent. NOTE CIRCULATION: Federal Reserve Agents report the issue during the weak of . *8.1 millions net of notes. The banks show an actual circulation of 2,562-5 mil- lions of F.R. notes, an increase of 4.3 millions for the week, besides aggregate liabilities of 72*9 millions, as against 68.9 millions the week before, on F.R,bank notes in circulation. CAPITAL: An increase of $79,000 in the total of paid-in capital i s due in part to admission of new members, also to increases' in capital or surplus by members of the system. Increases under this head are shown by all the banks except those at Boston and St. Louis. CONDITION OF MEMBER BANKS, NOVEMBER 8, I9IS. Substantial withdrawals of Government deposits and somewhat m a i l e r increases in other demand deposits, also reduction in some volume of the bank holdings of U.S. securities are indicated by the weekly statement of condition on November 8 of 751 member banks in leading cities. Treasury certificates on hand show a decline of about 12.3 millions, indicating that the bulk of the 754 million certificate issue due on November J had been de- livered by subscribing banks in payment for Liberty bonds. At the central reserve cities the increase in the certificate holdings is apparently due to a large extent to investment by these banks in the most recent issue of 4g per cent tax certifi- cates. U.S. bonds other than circulation bonds show a reduction of 62.9 millions, of which 23-3 millions represents the decrease in the holdings of the central re- serve city banks. Loans secured by U.S. war obligations fell off 4}.7 millions at all reporting banks, and 50.6 millions at the banks in the central reserve cities. All other loans and investments show a decline of 28.4 millions, notwithstanding a gain of about 46 millions in this item reported by the Greater New York banks- The ratio of U.S. war securities and loans supported by such eostiritiaa. to total loans and investments declined from 22,2 to 21.6 per cent for all reporting banks and from 23-6 to 23 per cent for the banks in the central reserve cities. The week witnessed the net withdrawal of 239*4 millions of Government deposits, 7O.9 millions representing withdrawals from central reserve city banks. These with- drawals are accompanied by an increase of 173*5 millions in net demand deposits of all reporting banks, and of 88.5 millions in the net deposits of the central reserve oity banks. Time deposits declined 18.7 millions. Reserve balances with the Fed- eral Reserve Banks increased 92,8 million^, and cash in vault - 10.2 millions. For all reporting banks the ratio of deposits to investments, because of the relatively larger decrease in investments rose from 78-9 to 79»2 per cent. For the central reserve city banks this ratio shows an increase frcm 85 to 85*4 "per cant. The ratio of combined cash and reserve balances to deposits went up from l4 to 15 per cent for all reporting banks and frcm 15*2 to l6 per cent for.the central reserve city banks. "Excess reserves" of a l l reporting banks increased from 67*2 to l4l.2 millions. For the banks in the central reserve cities an increase of this item frcm 4s>9 to 78.9 millions is noted.
