Pulse of the Press
THREE YEARS OLD.

The federal reserve system entered
upon it's third year November 16.
During the second year of it's exist
ence, the Minneapolis Reserve bank
developed most remarkably. On No.
vember 16, 1915 the banks expenses
exceeded earnings by 100000. One
year later earnings exceeded expenses
by 81 900 and in addition, all amort.
ization and depreciation had been
charged off. The earnings during the
second year of the banks life above
the expense of the year were about
$15O,O0O. Early in the third year the
bank will have paid a dividend on its
capital stock. Free and clear earn.
ings to date amount to 2 3-4 per cent
on the $2,607 $50 capital paid in. The,
bank, however, is now earning at the
rate of approximately per cent per
annum. ...-
The banks rediscounts and invest
ments of all kinds, which constitute
its earning power, are today four and
three-quarter times the figure year
ago. It's reserves in November Is,
1915, amounted to $12;354,667. The
gain since that date has been $16,400,-
900, making resources today $2S, $780,
900. One year ago the Minneapolis
federal reserve notes outstanding to-
tailed $12,G00,000, which compares
with $17,723,425 on November 16, 1916.
When the Minneapolis Federal Re.
serve bank was organized. it possess
ed 500 member banks. When it be-
came one year old the membership
numbered 100. Today there are 761
members, with the prospect of con.
siderable further increase before Jan.
uary /, when the Wisconsin divorce
goes into effect.

The past year has been fruitful for
all the federal reserve banks. Com
bined, they held on November 18,
1916, $435, 900 gold, against $685.
$4,000 year ago. Total earning as
shown Saturday amounted to 1885,
$4,000, against s85,942 900 a year ago.
Of this, bills discounted by members
represent about $21 100000 and bills
bought in the open market, $96,00O,-
900. Total earning assets last Satur.
day represented 335 per cent of the
paid in capital, against about 100 per
cent year ago. Investments in fed
