1 Reserved against $346,681,016 of United States notes and $2,645,000 of Treasury notes of 1890.

Cash receipts and payments, Aug. 5, 1913.

NOTE.-Both receipts and payments represent transactions which have reached the Treasury this day. Distant points are, necessarily, a number of days behind.

2 For the District of Columbia temporary tax deposits, certain other classes of securities are also acceptable at this rate and State bonds are acceptable at 85 per cent of market value, not exceeding par.

When banks have occasion to withdraw bonds held by the Treasurer to secure deposits of public moneys, the following shall be the order of withdrawal: Group IV, Group III, Group II, and Group I.

Bonds within a group may be interchanged by banks if desired, but bonds in a lower group may not be substituted for those in a higher group, except that an initial substitution of bonds of a lower group for those of a higher group may be made to an amount not to exceed 30 per cent of the total security value of bonds held for a particular bank. National bank depositaries which have not as yet taken out the full amount of circulation authorized by law may withdraw United States 2's and substitute for them bonds in Group II, provided the 2's as withdrawn shall be used as security for additional circulation.
