NOTES: .The demand deposit component consists of demand deposits other than i n t e r bank and U. S, Government, l e s s cash items reported as i n process of c o l l e c t i o n
and Federal Reserve f l o a t . Cash3 items reported as i n the process of c o l l e c t i o n bymember banks are deducted from the demand deposits of member banks and nonxnember
commercial bank demand deposits follow a parallel logic* Since Federal Reserve
float i s not divisible on the basis of member-nonmember attribution, i t i s deducted
i n whole from the member bank demand deposit component (column 1 ) . The currency
component consists of currency outside the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and tfte
vaults of a l l commercial banks*
