CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANXS

The daily average volume of Federal Reserve "bank credit outstanding during the
week ended August 2S, as reported by the Federal Reserve banks, was $2,^7^,000,000,
a decrease of $3,000,000 compared with tile preceding week and an increase of
$13,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 193^*
On August 28 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,^71,000,000, an increase
of $3,000,000 for the week. This increase corresponds with an increase of
$55,000,000 in member bank reserve balances and a decrease of $13,000,000 in Treasury
and national bank currency, offset in part by an increase of $2,000,000 in monetary
gold stock and decreases of $39,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal
Reserve banks and $17,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts. Member bank reserve balances on August 23 were estimated to be approximately $2,730,000,000 in excess of legal requirements.
Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of discounted and purchased
bills and in industrial advances. An increase of $16,000,000 in holdings of United
States Treasury notes was offset by a decrease of $16,000,000 in holdings of Treasur;
bills.
Changes in the amount of Reserve bank credit outstanding ajid in related items
