FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS SURVEY A prominent feature -.of tlie credit, . less general expansion in business activity might be expected to result in an expansion of commercial bor rowing, the money markets are he mg watched for evidences of an ex pansipn of demand for loanable funds, the Survey says, but as yet there has been no general increase in borrow ings. adjustment is the fact that gener ally speaking the recovery in business activity which has been under way for some months has not given rise to new commercial borrowings suffi cient to match the liquidation of old loans, made possible in the main by improvement \of industry and trade, according to a review of the statis tics of Federal Reserve banks con tained in the current issue of the Guaranty Survey, published by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. Not only because there is ordinar ily about this season of the year an increase in bank loans fi>r purposes of crop financing, but also because the cumulative effects of a more or It is worthy of note, nevertheless, that although the total loans and discounts of approximately 800 re porting member banks continued on the whole to decline in July, there was a net increase fitom July 5 to August 2 of $40,000,000 in loans and discounts other than those secured by the United States government ob ligations or by There had been an increase of $70, 000,000 in these loans during the pre ceding four weeks. v The decline these loans in July was accompanied by a decline in the banks' holdings of securities other than United States government obligations. When stocks and bonds comparison is made longer periods, it is evident that total loans and discounts of reporting mem ber banks have continued the general downward movement which was in for progress throughout 1921. However, there has been a marked retardation of the rate at which loans and dis counts dedined months of 1922, as compared with the first seven months of 1921. During this year, the decline in seven months was $401,000,000, or approximately 3.6 per cent, as compared with a de dine of $1,546,000,000, or approxi cent in the d^rre in the first seven mately 11.7 per spending period last year. Investments of the reporting banks have been expanding at an increas ing rate. In th© first seven months of last year th© increase, however, G. W. HENKE Cigar Mfg. 1 - Factory 318 N.

Mr. Arm strong has decided not to remove to the temporary capital this year, the apparent desire of his numerous Gal latin county friends, as recently ex pressed at the polls, to the contrary notwithstanding- .

The growth of the bank in vestments in bonds and other secur ities is further evidence of the rela tive abundance of available funds. The progressive reduction in redis counts reported by the Federal Re serve banks is reflected in the returns from the reporting member banks. Bills payable and rediscounts with Federal Reserve banks declined from $2,050,000,000 to $1,079,000,000 in the first seven months of 1921, and from $650,000,000 to $117,000,000 in the corresponding period this year. In coptrast with the continued de , c ij ne j n i oa ns, deposits of reporting member banks, which declined $764, j 000,000 in the first seven months of ; 1921 , increased in the corresponding 1 months of this year by $1,153,000,000, the up turn having begun in Septem ber, 1921. Apart from temporary fluctuations, no halt has been reached in the accu mulation of gold by the Federal Re serve banks, but the gain in gold holdings in the first seven months of this year was $196,000,000, as com pared with a gain of $472,000,000 in a similar period last year The decline in discounts and in note circulation also continues. The re duction in discounts for the seven months period >of this year was $713, 000,000, as compared with $990,000, 030 for the same period last year, and the total discounts on August 2, amounting to $400,000,000, were less than a fourth of the amouq£ of a year ago. Moriaovey-; while invest j ments in bonds were reduced by near j ly one-half in the first seven months of 1921, in the corresponding period this year they have increased by $289,000,000, or about 80 per cent A change in the movement of depos its also has been recorded, corre sponding to the change noted in the case pf deposit« in member banks. In the first seven months of 1921 de posits declined $142,000,000, whereas in a like period this year there has been a gain of $56,000,000.
