Board of Governors
of tlie Federal Reserve System
February 11, 1937•

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BAMKS
The daily
volraie of Federal Reserve bank credit outstanding during
the week ended February 1Q, as reported by the Federal Reserve "banks, was
$2,^85,000,000, spi increase of $2,000,000 compared with the preceding week and a
decrease of $10,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 1936 •
On February 10 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,^77,000,000, an increase of $14,000,000 for the week. This increase corresponds with increases of
$12,000,000 in money in circulation, $13,000,000 in member bank reserve balances
and $22,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, offset
in part by a decrease of $10,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal
Reserve banks and an increase of $23,000,000 in monetary gold stock. Member bank
reserve balances on February 10 were estimated to be approximately $2,120,000,000
in excess of legal requirements.
Relatively small changes were reported in the System1s holdings of bills discounted, purchased bills and industrial advances. An increase of $6,000,000 in
holdings of United States bonds was offset by a decrease of $6,000,000 in United
States Treasury notes.
Changes in the amount of Reserve bank credit outstanding and in related items
during the week and the year ended February 10, 1937, were as follows:
