'There are those." the report
(aid. "who believe that the begin
ning of revival is not far distant.

new era of prosperity."
Business, in one ot its ' long

port said. haa followed its usual
rotation, which it described as
business activity and increasing
production ; excessive expansion
and upeculation. followed hither
to by panic and forced liquidation;
a long period of slow liquidation,
business dopression and stagnation
and then, revival. "In the light of
recent experence," the report
warned, "we should remember,
when we again enter Into a period
of full prosperity, that a reaction
will follo-w sooner or later; and if
the flow of the Incoming tide can

The board confined Its report to
an account .of the operations for
legislation affecting the board or
the federal reserve system. The
earning assets of all federal re
serve hunha the 'ren.ii ..ij
amounted on December 28 1U21 I
to $1,630,851,000 compared with
13, 326,027,000 on December 80.
1920. a reduction of 11.727.178.000,
or 63 per cent, and a reduction of
1. 886, 1 25,000, or 55 per cent
from the high point reached on
October 15, 1920.
This reduction In loans, the re
port explained, was accomiuaiiied
by a steady Increase In gold re
serves and an almost continuous
reduction In federal reserve note
circulation, the loan reduction con
tinuing despite substantial decline
In discount rates.
Gross earnings of the federal
reserve banks for 1921, the re
port continued, amounted to
$122,865,000, compared with
$181,297,000 In 1920, the falling
off in earnings being due to de
cline In the -volume of redln
counts and reductions in redis
count rates. Member bank bor
rowings, according to the report,
showed a continuous decline from
$2,687, 0UO.0UO at the end of 1920
to about $1,144,000,000 it the end
of 1921, due to a reduction of
over $900,000,000 In the volume of
federal reserve notes in circulation
caused by irwer price levels and-
by net Imports ot gold amounting
to $667,000,000
practically all of
whlch found its way Into federal
reserve banks.
As a franchise tax the federal
resorve banks paid into the treas
ury $59,974,000 for the year 1921.
On December 28, the report con
tinued, the federal reserve banks!
held a gold reserve1 ot $2,870,000,
000 and a combined reserve
against members banks' deposits
and notea issues of slightly more
than 71 per cent. If the legal
minimum reserve of 35 per cent
could be set up against deposits!
Hie report added, there would re
main a gold reserve ot more than
97 per cent against fcrxral re
serve notes in circulation.
"For some months past." the
report said, "there has been a
marked casing in domestic rates
ot interest. Notwithstanding some
unfavorable feature.! In the reve
nue laws, the Investment market
is now absorbing securities at
reasonable rates which could not
havo become considered a few
months aso. Market quotations
of liberty bonds have steadily ad
vanced until iliey arc now ap
proaching par. Good railroad and
Industrial bonds have also apprii
clatcd. and there have been some
noticeable advances In standard
flocks. High commodity, price?
and lower money rates biln
higher market prices for bonds."

YOUR Home or
your HOUSE?
Very frequently, the aole difference he.
tween a home and a mere place to exist finds its
source in money and troubles relating to its
management.
In truth, therefore, a home is often born
of a household banking, account. Such an ac
count puts the home on a systematic, business
like basis. And it protects the home against
financial evils which would destroy its serene
and cheerful atmosphere.
