BANK RESERVE
REQUIREMENT
INCREASED

The Federal Reserve Board
today increased reserve require
ments for member banks by SO
per cent effective August Is, to
head off a possible injurious
credit expansion" boom.
Mariner S. EccleS, chairman OF
the board, said the action was
taken under the 1885 banking act
empowering it to raise require
ments up to 100 per cent in its
discretion.
The new requirements were set
after nearly 5000 million dollars
were being held as excess re-
serves. The board said the huge
amount resulted almost entirely"
from the inflow of gold from
abroad and mot from the sys-
TENS policy of encouraging full
recovery through creation and
maintenance of easy money con-
ditions," which will be continued.
Eccles said the possibility was
strong that these excess reserves
would reach $500 million dollars
by August Is. The new rates
requiring member banks to hold
larger percentages of their de-
positS in reServe-will bring the
excess down to 1900 million dol
lars.
The increases are:
!. From 10 to 1912 per cent
on demand deposits in banks in
central reserve cities. New
York and ChicagoD
2. From 10 to is per cent in
reserve cities.
3. From 7 to 1872 per cent
in country banks"
4. From 3 to Az per cent on
time deposits.
Bankers estimated that for
each dollar in excess reserves,
there is a potential field of $40
credit. Thus with g. 3,000-million-
dollar excess, the credit field would
be 10000 million dollars if the
money were thrown into use sud
denly.
They claimed that the increase
should give investors in long-term
securities added confidence" in
the future since they would re-
move doubt what would be done
with the tremendous excess re-
serves.
