The figures of deposits and currency on the one hand, and loans and investments,
gold and silver on the other, do not balance because
1. The table omits time deposits, in »enym»r<»aBl anri gflyingn banka) loans
and investments in savings banks, capital accounts, *w£ net changes
in interbank accounts;
2. Part of the imports of gold do not result in additions to member bank
reserves but in foreign bank deposits and other F. R. accounts;
3. Part of the change in member bank reserves is offset by changes in
Reserve Bank credit, Treasury cash, and Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks;
ij.. The increment of 2,8 billions resulting from the revaluation of gold in
I93J4. increased Treasury cash, not member bank reserves.
