Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
July 9, 1936

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The daily average volume of Federal Reserve bank credit outstanding during
the week ended July 8, as reported by the Federal Reserve banks, was $2,4-74,000,000,
an increase of $1,000,000 compared with the preceding week and a decrease of
$1,000,(XX) compared with the corresponding week in 1935.
On July 8 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,472,000,000, a decrease
of $1,000,000 for the week. This decrease corresponds with decreases of
$217,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks and
#8,000,000 in money in circulation, and an increase of $10,000,000 in monetary gold
stock, offset in part by increases of $225,000,000 in member bank reserve balances
and $7,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Member
bank reserve balances on July 8 were estimated to be approximately $2,880,000,000
in excess of legal requirements.
Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of discounted and purchased
bills, industrial advances and United States Government securities.
Changes in the amount of Reserve bank credit outstanding and in related items
during the week and the year ended July 8, 1936, were as follows!
