Amendments urged to federal reserve act reforms

Six amendments to the federal reserve act were recommended by the Federal Reserve Board in a report marking the first full year of the system. The proposals include allowing national banks to hold foreign banking stock, issuing federal reserve notes against deposits, extending the acceptance system to domestic trade, permitting local branch offices, and enabling advances to member banks on government bonds or secured promissory notes. The board notes potential expansion with more state banks and trusts, and discusses foreign borrowing limits and reserve requirements. It describes the money market as easy, with high export trade, active manufacturing, and prudent reserve management.
