Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Banking System of the United States and Its Relation to the Money and Business of the Country The exact relations of our banking system to the business prosperity and money of the United States do not seem to be fully com prehended by our people. The writer is a business man, to whom his dealings with banks, in the ordinary course of business, has suggested the preparation of this little volume, in which he discusses that serv ice of banks to the community which to him seems at once the most important, and, at the same time, most commonly ignored. In his judgment there can be no proper understand ing of the monetary problems of the day unless the relation of the bank-credit money of the country to the money of the Govern ment is 'fully comprehended.

Excerpt: ...into theicentral bank in excha1ige for.i.ts-1iotes, just as in this country they go into the Treasury in exchange for gold certificates. 2. Gold that backs gold certificates supports only its face value in credit, but gold used as reserve for federal reserve notes may support 2% times its face value in credit, and in emergencies even a greater multiple. The gold stock of the country is, therefore, more efficient if it is in the custody of the federal reserve bank (or federal reserve agent) than if it is in circulation, or is in the Treasury backing gold certificates which are in circulation. When the gold for the country is concentrated in its reserves, the federal reserve system will be strongest and the federal reserve notes will answer all the purposes of gold certificates. 3. When exportation of gold is necessary, the central bank is able to supply it with the least possible disturbance to financial conditions. For example, if the $1.5 billion of gold certificates were concentrated in the federal reserve banks, these banks would be able, if necessary, to release $600 million of gold for export and still have a 60 per cent reserve against their outstanding notes; and these changes might take place without affecting the amount of currency in circulation or disturbing domestic credits. 4. The direct issue of federal reserve notes for gold or gold certificates is the better method of substituting reserve notes for gold or gold certificates in circulation, since it permits the direct accomplishment of what was formerly done indirectly. Amendment Providing for Direct Issue The effects of the amendment of June 21, 1917, and the use made of the privileges conferred by it are indicated in the following statistical statement covering the month...

Excerpt: ...government currency system of the United States. One of the essential errors of early banking in the United States was the undue expansion of credit upon slender resources. It is an error common in a new country and one from which the United States and Australia, in more recent years and under other systems of note issue, have not been exempt. The impression has been assiduously cultivated by the opponents of a banking currency that the early American banks issued a volume of circulating notes enormously in excess of the legitimate demands of business. This impression is absolutely unfounded and the proof is afforded by the figures. Some of the State banking currencies were over.issued in the sense that every dollar which is not kept at par with the metallic standard is improperly issued, but the aggregate banking currency of the country was at no time over-issued in the sense that an equal volume of good money was not capable of ready and healthy absorption by the legitimate demands of business. The circulation of all forms of money in the United States between 1880 and 1895 has ranged between $21.71 and $24.44 an has OI1l' recently been regarded, with the slackening of business activity, as beyond the volume required by business needs. It is only necessary to compare such figures with those of the circulation prior to the Civil War to show lrov erroneous is the assertion that the currency was unduly inflated in volume during the years of State banking. The following table shows the circulation of both bank-notes and specie at various dates, including the years of largest circulation, --the difference between the bank-note circulation and the total money in circulation representing the specie: YEAR.ESTIMATED BANE-NOTES OUTSTANDING.TOTAL..

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Reserve Check Collection System In framing the Federal Reserve Act considerable attention was directed to the subject of collecting out-of-town checks. Sections 13 and 16 of the Federal Reserve Act referring to the clearing and collection functions of the Federal Reserve Banks provide as follows: Section 13. Any Federal Reserve Bank may receive from any of its member banks, and from the United States, deposits of current funds in law ful money, national-bank notes, Federal Reserve notes, or checks, and drafts payable upon presentation, and also, for collection, maturing bills; or solely for the purposes of exchange or of collection, may receive from other Federal Reserve Banks deposits of current funds in lawful money, national-bank notes, or checks upon other Federal Reserve Banks, and checks and drafts, payable upon presentation within its district, and maturing bills payable within its district. Section 16. Every Federal Reserve Bank shall receive on deposit at par from member banks or from Federal Reserve Banks checks and drafts drawn upon any of its depositors, and when remitted by a Federal Reserve Bank, checks and drafts drawn by any depositor in any other Federal Reserve Bank or member bank upon funds to the credit of said depositor in said reserve bank or member bank. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting a member bank from charging its actual expense incurred in collecting and remitting funds, or for exchange sold to its patrons. The Federal Reserve Board shall, by rule, fix the charges to be collected by the member banks from its patrons whose checks are cleared through the Federal Reserve Bank, and the charge which may be imposed for the service of clear ing or collection rendered by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Board shall make and promulgate from time to time regulations governing the transfer of funds and charges therefor among Federal Reserve Banks and their branches, and may at its discretion exercise the functions of a clearing house for such Federal Reserve Banks, or may designate a Federal Reserve Bank to exercise the functions of a clearing house for its member Banks.

Download or read book State Banking in Early America written by Howard Bodenhorn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard Bodenhorn's State Banking in Early America studies the financial experimentation that took place in the United States between 1790 and 1860. Dr. Bodenhorn's book explores regional differences in banking structures, which bear indirectly in the conection between financial and economic development. If a single theme emerges, it is that the United States benefitted from its free banking philosophy in which state governments, rather than a centralized authority, created financial structures designed to serve specific, local needs. Thus decentralized federalism provided state legislatures with a great deal of flexibility in their individual approaches to economic and financial issues. The important lessons to be learned from Dr. Bodenhorn's historical account are that successful banking systems are flexible, predictable, and incentive-compatible; they meet the needs of the borrowers, depositors and shareholders, and they reduce downside risks to generally agreed upon levels. These lessons imply that we cannot, a priori, define an optimal, one-size-fits-all banking system. We need to know something about the formal and informal institutions underlying an economy and about the risk preferences of its citizenry. Historically, outsiders view Americans as experimenters and risk takers. Nowhere is this experimentation and risk taking more apparent than in early American banking policies.
