Federal Reserve Ratio SOL
The combined federal reserve ratio
stands at SO.4 per cent. compared with
SOL per cent week ago and with 165
per cent year ago. The present aver
age is at the highest point since the
war. duplicating the ratio of August Q.
1922.
The extreme strength OF the banking
position as reflected by the ratio is
likely to bring about agitation for re-
duction in the rediscount rate. at pres
ent AZ per cent over the entire system.
| While there is no indication as to the
course to be pursued by reserve officials.
il may be pointed out that when New
York reduced its rediscount rate TO I
per cent on June II. 1922, the combined
ratio stood at 79.1 per cent or l.3 points
under the present figure.

quirements by s1745, ,0O0, 900, which is
