Board o£ (Jovernors
of "the Federal Reserve System
July 2, 1936

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The daily average volume of Federal Reserve bank credit outstanding during
the week ended July l t as reported by the Federal Reserve banks, was $2,^73,000,000,
a decrease of $5,000,000 compared with the preceding week and of $2,000,000 compared
with the corresponding week in 1935*
* On July 1 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,^73,000,000,- an increase of
$1,000,000 for the week, tfhis increase corresponds with increases of $77,000,000
in money in circulation and $281,000,000 in member bank reserve balances, and a
decrease of $2,000,000 in Treasury and national bank currency, o f f s e t in part by an
increase of $12,000,000 in monetary gold stock and a decrease of $3^5,000,000 in
Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks. Member bank reserve balances
on July 1 were estimated to be approximately $2,670,000,000 in excess of legal requirements*
Changes f o r the week in the holdings of Government securities of individual
Federal Reserve banks resulted from the transfer of a l l Government securities previously held in the separate investment accounts of these banks to the System Open
Market Account and the reallocation of participations in this account among the
Federal Reserve banks. The total holdings of Government securities of the Federal
Reserve banks remain practically unchanged*
Since the reserve ratios of individual Federal Reserve banks do not r e f l e c t
conditions in the several Federal Reserve districts because most of the earning
assets of the Federal Reserve banks consist of Government securities bought in the
open market at the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee, the individual
ratios of the several Federal Reserve banks are eliminated from the weekly statement of condition* The ratio of total reserves to Federal Reserve note and deposit
l i a b i l i t i e s will continue to be shown in the consolidated statement of assets and
l i a b i l i t i e s of a l l of the Federal Reserve banks combined*
Changes in the amount of Reserve bank credit outstanding and in related items
during the week and the year ended July 1, 1936, were as follows:
