Federal Reserve Board
April 13, 1933.

CONDITION OF ZEEERAL RESERVE BAICS
The daily average volume of Federal reserve bank credit outstanding during the
week ending April 12, as reported by the Federal reserve banks, was $2,555»000,000,
a decrease of $32,000,000 corrrpared with the preceding week and an increase of
$926,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 1932.
On April 12 total reserve bank credit amounted to $2,528,000,000, a decrease
of $46,009,000 for the week. This decrease corresponds with a decrease of
$114,000,000 in money in circulation, and increases of $10,000,000 in monetary gold
stock and $57,000,000 in Treasury currency, adjusted, offset in part by increases
of $120,000,000 in member bank reserve balances and $14,000,000 in unexpended
capital funds, nonmember deposits, etc*
Bills discounted increased $6,000,000 at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
and declined $7*000,000 each at Philadelphia and San Francisco and $8,000,000 at all
Federal reserve banks. The System's holdings of bills bought in open market declined
$39,000,000, while holdings of United States Government securities show little
change for the week.
Changes in the amount of reserve bank credit outstanding and in related items
during the week and the year ending April 12, 19331 were as follows:
