above the corresponding week in
On December U total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,470,000,000, a decrease
of $2,000,000 for the week* This decrease corresponds with increases of
$135,000,000 in monetary gold stock and $21,000,000 in Treasury and national bank
currency, offset in part by increases of $116,000,000 in member bank reserve
balances, $23,000,000 in money in circulation and $11,000,000 in nonmember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts* Member bank reserve balances cn

requirements.
Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of discounted and purchased bills and industrial advances. An increase of $21,000,000 in holdings of
United States Treasury bills was offset by a decrease of $21,000,000 in holdings
of Treasury notes*
