CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

The daily average volume of Federal reserve bank credit outstanding during the
week ending March S, as reported "by the Federal reserve hanks, was $3,619,000,000,
an increase of $1,03^000*000 compared with the preceding week and of $1,891,000,000
compared with the corresponding week in 1932.
On March S total reserve "bank credit amounted to $3,6^4,000,000, an increase
of $703,000,000 for the week. This increase is largely accounted for by increases

nomember deposits, etc., and a decrease of $101,000,000 in monetary gold stock,
offset in part by a decrease of $23^,000,000 in member bank reserve balances.
Bills discounted increased $^92,000,000 at the Federal Reserve Bank of ITew
York, $70,000,000 at Chicago, $39,000,000 at Cleveland, $25,000,000 at San Francisco
and $702,000,000 at all Federal reserve banks. The System*s holdings of bills bought
in open market increased $33,000,000, while holdings of United States bonds increased
$5,000,000 and those of Treasury certificates and bills $39,000,000.
