CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

The daily average volume of Federal reserve "bank credit outstanding during the

On March 1 total reserve bank credit amounted to $2,936,000,000, an increase
of $585,000,000 for the week. This increase is largely accounted for by an increase

of New York, $71,000,000 at Philadelphia, $3^,000,000 at Cleveland and $3^5,000,000
at all Federal reserve banks. The Systemfs holdings of bills bought in open market
increased $20U,000,000, while holdings of United States Treasury notes increased
