counts Factors i'm Raising
Ratio to Highest in a Year

Marked improvement took place in
che reserveeposition Of the Federal Re-
serve system last week as result of

issued yesterday as of the close Of
business Friday. The statement was
issued at bhe local Reserve Bank for
tho first time under new arrange
ment whereby the returns of the se1-
eral Reserve banks are wired to New
York in consolidated form from the
Federal Reserve Board at Washington.
The consolidated statement disclosed
the fact that the ratio of total reserves
to net deposit and Federal Reserve

49.6 to 5O.3 per cent, this being the
highest ratio shown by the combined

ties, advanced from SIC to 58.5 rcr
cent.

652 900 during the last week. The gold
settlement increased from $3.50 ,480 900
to $511,751, 900 largely as a result of
gold imports
Borrowings by member banks
against government obligations and
commercial paper were reduced. In
the aggregate approximately $40,000,-
OOO, mainly as a result of operations
in the New York district. Redis-
counts against government paper

600. Treasury certificates of indebted
ness held by the twelve banks were re-
duced from $263 3,574000 to S261, ,759,-
600 during the week.
The slowing down of business re-
Hected in reduction in the volume of
Federal Reserve notes in circulation in
the country, the total at the end of
the week standing at $3,037 ,444000
against $1,000, ,416,0O0 the week before

tions with other Reserve banks. It's

 If prohibition had done nothing more than to beer which may be guzzled indefinitely a drink equally paatable and nvigoratng of which would not than glass or two, that would be much. And if 1t had accomplished nothing more than to raise the price of whiskey to figures varying s1o to $1s quart that would also be something. But it has done much more than that.
