On September 13 total Reserve bank credit amounted to $2,357*000,000, an increase of $27,000,000 for the week. This increase corresponds with an increase of

increase of $10,000,000 in Treasury currency, adjusted.

System* s holdings of bills bought in open market and United States bonds show practically no change for the week, while holdings of United States Treasury notes increased $16,000,000 and of Treasury certificates and bills $20,000,000.
