REACH NEW HIGH
Rise $20,OO0,OO0 to Best
Levels Since Change
in Requirements.
By the Associat ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board reported
the lendable excess reserves of the
Nations banks increased $4,000, 900
last week to $3.50, ,000,0O0-a new
high since reserve requirements were
increased May /, 1887.
The increase was attributed largely
to a 65,000,000 increase in money in
circulation.
The board also reported it bought
$46, 100000 worth Of Government
bonds during the week, apparently to
support the Government bond mar
ket, which was somewhat shaky last
week. To prevent a change in the
total amount of its Government Sc
curity holdings, the Reserve banks
sold $46,00O,OO0 worth of shorter
term Treasury bills
The boards statement said:
During the week ended April 6
member bank reserve balances de-
creased $l6,0O0000, Reductions in
member bank reserves arose from in
creases of S65,000,O00 in money in
circulation, S3,000000 in Treasury
cash and Sl5,000,000 in non-member
deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts, offset in part by increases
of S9,O00,000 in Reserve bank credit,
S9,000,000 in gold stock and $2,OO0,0 900
in Treasury currency and decrease
of s48.000,000 in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve banks Excess
reserves of member banks on April s
were estimated to be approximately
$3.50 100000. an increase of $40, ,000,-
600 for the week Inactive gold in
cluded in the gold stock and in
Treasury cash amounted to $l,l83,-
000,0 on April 6, unchanged for the
week
Principal changes in holdings Of
bills and securities were an increase
of S46 100000 in United Stetas Treas
ury bonds and a decrease of SAG. .0O0.-
600 in United States Treasury bills" "
