Inter-Reservo borrowings.

Comparisons of inter-reserve bor-
rowings OF Federal Reserve banks this
month and a year ago show a vast
change in the condition Of the coun-
try generally.
The Richmond bank last week had
contingent obligations on such bor-
rowings Of about $1S,5O0.000. whereas
in the same week last year 1t owed
$24,234.O00. -
Richmond has felt the effect Of the
incrase in cotton prices even less than
ATLANTA, which last week reported
obligations Of $17,500,0oo, as aSainst
$47, 400, 900 in the same week last
year. Atlanta's total obligation last
year was nearly equal to the entire
inter.reserve borrowings for the week
this year.
Dallas, which was the only other
borrowing bank last week. owed S12,-
0O0, 900, as against $34,6O0.o00 last
year.
A year ago Cleveland was lending
nearly as much as the entire out
standing loans at the present time.
These figures, according to Reserve
bankers, mean that the whole coun-
try is readjusting itself to new condi-
lions along pretty even line,
