a decrease of $13,000,000 compared with the preceding week and of $120,000,000 compared with the corresponding week in 1933•
On November 28 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,^60,000,000, a decrease
of $10,000,000 for the week. This decrease corresponds with a decrease of
$SS,000,000 in member bank reserve balances and increases of $36,000,000 in monetary
gold stock and $10,000,000 in Treasury and national bank currency, offset in part
by increases of $61,000,000 in money in circulation and $61,000,000 in Treasury cash
and deposits with Federal Reserve banks.

$1,000,000, each, while holdings of bills bought in open market and of United States
