Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
February 20, 193&

C01TDITI01T OF FEDEBAL BESSHV3 BAMS
The daily average volume of Federal Reserve bank credit outstanding during
the week ended February 19f as reported by the Federal Reserve banks, was
$2,50^,000,000, an increase of $8,000,000 compared with the preceding we^lf and of
$38,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 1935•
On February 19 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,505,000,000, a decrease
of $3,000,000 for the week. This decrease corresponds with decreases of
$lU,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks and $36,000,000
in nonmeniber deposits and other Federal Reserve accotmts and incre&sos of $5 f 000,000
in monetary gold stock, and $3,000,000 in Treasury and national bank currency,
offset in part by increases of $US,000,000 in member bank reserve balances and
$8,000,000 in money in circulation* Member bank reserve balances on February 19
were estimated to be approximately $3,0^0,000,000 in excess of legal requirements.
Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of discounted and purchased
b i l l s and industrial advances. An increase of $4,000,000 in holdings of United
States Treasury b i l l s was offset by a decrease of $4,000,000 in holdings of
Treasury notes.
