CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

The daily average volume of Federal Reserve bank credit outstanding during the
week ended March 6, as reported by the Federal Reserve banks, was
an increase of $6,000,000 compared with the preceding week and a decrease of
$100,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 193^»
On March 6 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,^52,000,000, a n increase
of $2,000,000 for the week. This increase corresponds with increases of
$36,000,000 in money in circulation and $26,000,000 in nonmember deposits and
other Federal Reserve accounts and a decrease of $3,000,000 in Treasury and
national bank currency, offset in part by an increase of $22,000,000 in monetary
gold stock and decreases of $33,000,000 in member baric reserve balances and of
$8,000,000 in Treasury cash and deposits with Federal Reserve banks.
Relatively small changes were reported in holdings of discounted and purchased bills and of industrial advances. Decreases of $18,000,000 in holdings of
United States Treasury notes and $2,000,000 in United States bonds were offset by
an increase of $20,000,000 in holdings of Treasury bills*
Changes in the amount of Reserve bank credit outstanding and in related items
during the week and the year ended March 6, 1935t were as follows:
