C011DITI0H OF FEDERAL RESERVE B A M S

The daily average volume of Federal Reserve "bank credit outstanding during
the week ended August 19, as reported by the Federal Reserve "banks, \ijas
000,000, unchanged from the preceding week, and practically the same as reported for the corresponding week in 1935«
On August 19 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2 t ty?7t 000 t 000 » a decrease
of $20,000,000 for the week* This decrease corresponds with a decrease of
$1^,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks and an increase of $17t000,000 in monetary gold stock, offset in part by increases of
$113,000,000 in member bank: reserve balances, $lH,000,000 in money in circulation
and $5,000,000 in nomnenber deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Following
the increase of 50 percent in reserve requirements of member banks, which became
effective after the close of business on August 15, aggregate required reserves of
member banks increased approximately $1,^70,000,000 during the week ended August
19 and excess reserves declined from approximately $3,170,000,000 on August 12
to about $1,810,000,000 on August 19# During this period member bank reserve
balances with the Federal Reserve banks increased by $113,000,000#

The System*s holdings of bills discounted decreased $2,000,000 during the
week* Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of purchased bills, industrial advances, and United States Government securities*
