Business throughout the country, pregrcss'nir through well-defined circles, Is nesting the point of tire upward swing of the economic pendulum, according te the annual report of the Federal Reserve Henni transmitted today te Lenjrres. "There are these." the report said, "who believe that the beginning of re vlval Is net far distant. When It does definitely net In 1t will be followed In due course by a new era of prosperity." Business, in one of its "long swings" from prosperity, the report said, has followed Its usual rotation, which it described as business activity and In ci cased production ; exprcsMve expan expan sien and speculation, followed Intnerte by panic and forced liquidations a long period of slew liquidation, business de pression and stagnation; and then re vival. "In the light of recent experience," the report warned, "we should remem ber, when we again enter Inte n period of full prosperity, thnt a reaction will fellow sooner or later j and If the flew Of ttin Inrnmfnir Me n Iw, "nntmllail se that the crest may net be reached i tee rapicuy nor rue tee high the sub sequent reaction will be less severe and the next period of Industrial and com mercial activity and general prosperity will be marked br saner method. creator achievement nleng constructive I nnc, aua ey n longer duration titan any which we have had before." . Suggests he Legislation The beard confined Its report te ab account of the enernHntvi nf lm nr. ganizatien for the year 1021. without offering' any suggestions for legislation affecting the benrd or the Federal He Nervo system. . The earning nwcts of all federal Reserve banks, the report said, amounted en December 28, 1021, te 2'"w.oea,wu, . compared with S3, 203,027.000 en December 30. 1020. i reduction of $1,727,176,000, or 53 per cent, and a reduction of $1,880,125,000, or 85 per cent from the high point reached en -October 15, 1020. This reduction In leans, the report explained, was accompanied by a steady increase In geld reserves and an nl nl mest continuous reduction In Federal Reserve note circulation, the lean re duction continuing dcsplte substantial decline in discount rates. Gress earnings of the Federal Re serve banks for 1021, the report con tinued, amounted te .$122,8C,j,0u0. com cem paied with $181,207,000 in 1020. the falling off in comings being due te de cline in the volume of rediscounts nnd i eductiens in rediscount rates. Member bank borrowings, according te the report, showed a continuous de cline from $2,087,000,000 at the end of 1020 te about 31.141.000.000 nt the end of 1021. due te n reduction of mere than $900,000,000 in the elume of Federal Reserve notes in circulation, caused by lower price levels und bv the net imports of geld amounting e S007, 000.000, practically all of which found its way iute Federal Reserve banks. As u fran,chfse tax the Federal Re serve banks paid into the Treasury $09,074,000 for the year 1921. Tell of Geld Reserve On December 28, the report contin ued, the Federal Reserve banks held a geld reserve of $2,870,000,000 and u combined reserve against member banks' deposits and note jssited nf slightly mere "than 71 per cent. If the legal minimum reserve of 35 per cent could be set up against deposits, the report added, there would remain a geld re nerve of mere than 07 per cent against Federal Reserve notes in circulation. "Fer some months past," the report sold, "there has been a marked casing of Interest. Notwithstanding mmiic un favorable features in the revenue laws, the Investment market is new nliMuhing t-ecutitics at reasonable rates, which could net have been cenMdeted u few months age. "Market quotations of Liberty Uencls hove steadll) advanced until tiicv arc new approaching par.
