STOCKS
SET ALL TIME
RECORD HIGH
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Money stocks of the United
States at the end Of March
reached an all time high record
Of $1S, Asa, 1855, 900, according to
figures issued at the Treasury
today.
This was an increase of 2,825
millions in year resulting from
the revaluation Of the dollar.
Gold stocks March 81 were more
than 1895 millions, a gain of
3,408 millions in a year. This
was in. the main attributable to
the change in the dollar valua-
ton but partly to imports Of gold.
Circulation Increases
In contrast to figures for 1881
and 1882 money circulation dur
ing March showed an increase.
The figure for the end of the
month was $5,395 ,279 900, a gain
Of SAL 900, 900 in a month, but q
reduction of $924,00O,0OO since
March 81, 1888.
The months increase was due
to better business conditions
which demanded a additio a l
money to transact the country's
commerce and industry. It was
explained that the enormous vol
ume Of money dumped into the
market by the Government was
chiefly responsible for the gain in
business operations, thereby con-
tributing to the heavier circula-
ton of money.
The drop Of nearly a billion
dollars in circulation during the
year was due to the fact that
there has been a substantial i'm
provement in the confidence of
the public in the commercial
banks, resulting in reduction of
the amount of money in hoard.
AS the public returned money to
the banks it was sent to the Fed
eral reserve banks, thus cutting
the banks Indebtedness to the
reserve institutions.
Bank Guarantee Aid
Officials said considerable
portion of the restoration in bank
ing confidence was due to the
guarantee up to $4,000 of all in
dividual bank deposits through
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
Gold certificates were shown as
outstanding in the amount of
$161 ,415,639, a reduction of $780,
100000 in a year. This figure in
dicated that virtually all gold
certificates outside of the Treas
ury had beNn returned, in view of
the evident losses and destruction
of this type of money.
