Big Slump in Government
Deposits Is Shown

Discounting operations of the local
Federal Reserve Bank last week were
in contrast to the week preceding when
loans on government war paper rose
sharply while advances on commercial
paper and bankers acccptances showed
a substantial decline. The result of
last weeks operations was Il net in
crease of $5,661,7 ,7S7 in bills held by the
bank. This, coupled with loss OF
$19,152,039 in total reserves, accounted
for a drop to 39.7 per cent in the ratio
of reserves and note liabilities. At the
close of. the week epded January 30 the
ratio stood at 403 per cent.
OF the $949, ,227,918 bills held by the
bank at the end Of the week $581, ,478,-
SOB were secured by government war
paper, compared with $608,955, ,760 the
week before. In the two weeks period
commercial paper holdings increased
from, $166, 1851 ,946 to sl70,873,062. Pur-
ehases of bankers acceptances jumped
from, $191,214,560 to $1o6,S76,347.
Tha drop in reserves was due princi-
pally to loss of $2O,52O,O25 in the
amount of gold coin and certificates
on hand. This decrease was about ac-
counted for by the withdrawal Of ap-
proximately S18,0O0,000 for export to
The Argentine. The gold settlement
fund lost about s7.ooo.O00 as a result
# the banks operations with other re-
serve banks. The total drop in gross
deposits was more than $53, ,000, 900.

IN the company business
Net sales for 1919 were i7.S per cent
over 1913. the previous high record
year. After expenses, ETC., had been
deducted, profits were $2,326, ,951,
which compares with $1,66S,67 in 1913
and S2,570,640 in 1917 Federal tax
payments amounted to S363.4S7. A
bonus of $314,351 was distributed dur
ing the year, leaving a balance applica-
Bile for dividends of S1.649, ,135, against
81 ,326,961 in the preceding year. Hold
ers of the preferred stock received
$304,6 in dividend payments, leaving
a surplus of s1,S44,45S, equivalent to
S11.20 share earned on the common
stock, compared with 1881 a share in
the year before.

In his report to stockholders S. G.

always ben the policy of the company
not to speculate in merchandise and.
therefore, during the steadily rising
market Of the pastf ew years we have
bought in advance only about our usual

enable us to make the large profits
that could have been made in rising

of the risks inherent in the present
merchandise situation.

The weekly statement of the Clear
ing House showed decline of S63 3,019.-

member banks, probably due for the
most part to the heavy stock market
liquidation of the week. The excess
reserves of the banks, however, showed
an increase of only $4,006,12O, prob
ably due to the efforts Of the banks to
reduce their obligations at the Federal

she Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

Inc premium of the American dollar
IN the international exchange markets
IN terms of The currencies of the
former belligerent nations of Europe
were larger than ever before during
the last week. On Wednesday the
pound sterling was quoted as low as
S3l9. The other exchanges had fallen
similarly. "A momentary rally took
place on that day, but was followed by
another break. However, on Thursday
definite firmness was displayed on for
ward buying at bargain prices by
American exporters, by spectators in
exchange, and by interests in Scandi-
navia apparently for arbitrating pur-
poses. The improvement lasted up to
the close Of trading yesterday, and the
volume OF transactions also became
larger.
The Improvement after the sensation
collapsed was attributed largely to
technical factors within the machinery
OF markets, but also to the feeling
that the low exchange rates would
check the imports Of the countries with
deprecated exchanges and thus auto
matically help the situation.
The smash in the exchanges had far
reaching effects, and, in the opinion Of
bankers, will greatly influence the
course Of trade and finance for the rest
of the year. The demand for tonnage
on eastward bound Transatlantic steam
ers has already shrunhen, indicating
that the premium on the dollar has
already begun greatly to discourage
purchases in this country by Euro
peans. Drastic liquidation took place
in the security markets, the cotton
markets and the grain marts, and even
in the field of industry more cautious
attitude was ckaused by the movement
in the international exchange markets..
While the dollar was soaring to new
premiums over the currencies of Eu-
rope, it was at discount at Argentine,
and group of American banks, includ-
ing the National City and the Anglo
South American Bank. week ago yes
terday shipped $17,1l0,000 in gold coin
