N. Y. RESERVE BANK
EARNS $51,6OO,OOO
Government Will Receive 500,
100000 of Years Total
i'm Lieu of Tax.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New
per cent. on its capital stock, with total
earnings OF $1,000. 900, disclosed in its
monthly review of credit and business
conditions issued yesterday. The bank
paid approximately s1.50o.oo0 in divi-
dends of per cent. to its stockholders.
added about s11,000.O00 to it's profit and
loss surplus as provided by the Federal
Reserve Act and will pay to-day to the
United States Treasury about $4,000
900 in lieu Of franchise tax. Discuss
| ing the earnings, the bank says in
| part:
"These earnings are direct measure
of the credit expansion OF imitation
which our war financing necessitated.
| They are also a direct measure of the
utility of the Federal Reserve Bank In
providing such credit as business condi-
| tions necessitated.
1.-THE Federal Reserve Bank is semi
| public institution organized and oper-
| ated not for the purpose of making
profits but to stabilize credit and keep
| it elastic. and to issue such circulating
notes as the business of the community
requires. It's surplus earnings. which
are derived from the credit making and
note issuing power granted to- 1t by the
Government. accordingly revert to the
| Government.
| "The reason the Federal Reserve
Bank shows such large earnings u be-
| cause the Government does not tax 1t,
| but in lieu of taxes takes the major
part of its earnings. A governmental
grant of note issuing power to any In
stitution or set Of institutions, espe-
cially when such notes are of an emer-
gency nature, is quite usually accom-
panied by heavy tax.
| Federal Reserve Bank earnings when
| transferred to the Government may be
used by it only to place additional gold
behind the greenbacks or to retire Gov
eminent bonds In this way the earn
ings go directly toward correcting the
| imitation which called the earnings into
existence. Presumably. as imitation sub
sides, the volume of Federal Reserve
notes required for hand to hand cur
rency will gradually lessen, and both
the discounts and the earnings of Fed
eral Reserve banks will lessen corre-
spondingly."
The bank asserts that Japan has now
ceased to import gold from us. Discus
sing the decline in public debt Of about
$3.50, 600, 900, or OF per cent. from the
maximum to December 81, 1920, the
bank says:
'The greater part Of the debt reduc-
ton has been effected in the floating
debt. which is composed Of unmatured
loan and tax certificates Of indebted
ness. The decline in the outstanding
volume of these certificates since
August 81. 1919. was S1.621. 100000. a
reduction of ALP per cent. During the
calendar year 1920 the decline was
S945, 100000. or 2s.9 per cent"

thority to acquire the Chicago Junction

granting to the New York Central an OPP
ton to purchase all OF the capital stock
of the Chicago Junction Railway Com

an extensive application OF its terminal

The Chicago Junction Railway, he

for extension and expansion outside OF
Chicago but no means to reach the heart
of that city. The Chicago River and
Indiana comprises an extensive inner
network Of tracks through the heart OF
Chicago's manufacturing district.

ASSOCIATED DRY GOODS
HAS NO DEBTS AT BANKS
Wild Runor Nailed After
Company's Best Year.

In view of the pessimistic stories
afloat in recent weeks regarding the
financial position of big dry goods and
department stores and the rumorS that
they have been large borrowers from
banks, the statement made yesterday
by Samuel w. Reyburn. president of

ceptionally strong financial position
and that they do not owe any money
to banks. The company is made up Of
various retail department stores. In
GLIDING Lord e Taylor. James McCreery

Adam & Co., Buffalo. and number Of
smaller organizations, as well as realty
companies.
The statement of the president was
issued after the dividend meeting Of
the board of directors. The regular
quarterly dividends of per cent. on
the common. IL per cent. on the first
preferred and 1A per cent. on the Sec
ond preferred stocks were declared. The
common dividend is payable February
i to stock of record January 10 and the
preferred dividends on March I to stock
of record February II.
Inc VOlume OF business LOT l5-V,
Mr.. Reyburn said. was the greatest
in the history of the company. Careful
estimates have been made Of the re-
suits of the years business, and it ap-
pears that stocks have been remarked
at replacement values as nearly as that
figure could be ascertained. Inven-
tories at this time are less in amount
than a year ago. Earnings are in ex-
cess of dividend requirements and the
corporation and subsidiary companies
are in stronger financial position than
at the same time last year.. owing the
banks nothing"
