INCORPORATED INVESTORS

Times Special

BOSTON, Sept. 19 —Stocks of manufactured goods on hand have been dropping while there has been a decided increase in industrial

production,

the Parker Corp.

reported today.

Goods we are now

producing go into direct consumption and the consumption is great

enough to draw from stocks on hand.

A Dun & Bradstreet survey

showed that the biggest decline in stocks during the first six months of this year was made by the automobile industry with a drop of 38

per cent.

Many other industries followed.

This means that future

purchases will be quickly translated into busier factories.

MEMBER BANKS’ BALANGE LISTED UP 100 MILLIONS

Increase Lifts Surplus Reserve Near 3-Year Top Figure.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (U. P). —Excess reserve balances of Federal Reserve Member Banks rose 1$100.000,000 in the week ended Sept. 14 to a total of $3,130,00,000, the weekly condition statement re- | vealed today. The latest increase lifted surplus reserves of the reporting banks to within 20 millions of the three-year high established July 13. Actual reserve balances were increased 156 millions to a total of $8,425,000,000, principally reflecting {a sharp drop in Treasury deposits and a further expansion of the nation's monetary gold stocks result{ing from the movement of foreign capital into American gold. Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks were reported at 346 millions off 215 millions from the preceding week and money in

rose 184 millions to a new record high of $13,421,000,000 and Treasury currency was increased four millions to a total of $2,733,000,000,

Treasury Cash Increases

These reserve-expanding factors were offset in part by sharp increases in Treasury cash and non- | member deposits, the former rising 180 millions to $2,759,000,000 and the latter 88 millions to a total of 670 | millions, Foreign central banks also increased their deposits with the Fed- | eral Reserve System, lifting their accounts $29,923,000 to $166,660,000, the largest total reported in months. Foreign bank deposits with the reporting member banks rose 50 | millions to a total of 370 millions. No change was reported in the | banks’ holdings of U. 8. Governiment securities, but the New York | City member banks increased their investment in direct obligations of the Government seven millions to a | total of $2.869,000,000,

cultural loans of the New York banks fell one million to $1,465,000.-

millions in the past three weeks,
