Organised 1879 [questions that are asked about banking} THE term "liquid” in banking, is used to denote assets in the form of cash or read ily convertible into cash. A bank does not keep all of its depositors’ money in currency and coins, for such money would stand idle. Some is used to buy Govern ment or other bonds and commercial paper, and some to make short-term loans. These ire liquid, because they may be quickly converted Into cash. Long-term investments, such as mortgages, are not considered as liquid because I they cannot always be turned into cash promptly and without sacrifice even though they represent sound value. One of the banker’s problems is to keep his bank liquid enough to satisfy all probable de mands of depositors for funds, and yet partici pate, by sound loans, in the constructive development of the community.
