STABILIZED FINANCIAL

Report Favorable Conditions.

The United States is beginning now
to look forward to more stabilized
financial conditions. according to the
hnance committee of the American
delegation to the meeting of the

now being held in London. The re-
port was made public today by the

During the early weeks of 1921
the reserve percentages of the indi-
Vidual banks and of the federal re-
serve system as a whole moved rap
idly upward and the rate of improve
ment has been maintained in recent
weeks" the report said.
The Improvement has been due
to the decline in borrowings of MEM
Der banks. the decline in note cir
cuiatlon and to considerable in
crease in gold reserves. Gold hold
December %, 1920. and May 25. 1921.
On the latter date the reserve banks
held $2.333, 100000 of gold, or about
three-fourths of the total supply of
gold in the United States. and the
largest amount in the history of the
reserve system.
las result of these changes the
ratio of gold reserves to note and
deposit liabilities combined has i'm
proved from 45.1 per cent on Decem-
Der 90. 1920, to SIS per cent on May
IS. 1921.
THE total of government expendi-
