Mainly to Larger
Treasury Deposits
BY the Associated Press.

Banks increased by $50, ,0OO, 900 in the
past week, the Federal Reserve Board
announced This sent the total of
excess reserves in member banks to
$6,870OO0,000. The increase was
largely attributable to Treasury de-
posits of $116,OOO,OOO.
The boards statement said:
During the week ended October
16 member bank reserve balances
increased SS9,OOOOOO. Additions to
member bank reserves arose from
decreases of $116,0OO,000 in Treasury

increases of $4,000 900 in Reserve
Bank credit, $24 100000 in gold stock,

offset in the part by increases of
$30,000,000 in money in circulation
and $87, 100000 in non-member de-
posits and other Federal Reserve

ber banks on October 16 were esti-

Deal Reported Near
For Indies 10 Supply
Japan With Oil
Completion Of Details
Said to Be Expected
In Botoviu oduy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The New
York Times says arrangements
have been virtually concluded
whereby approximately 40 per cent
of Japan's oil requirements for the
next six months will be obtained
in the Netherlands Indies"
Final details of the deal, the
Times says, were expected to be
completed in Batavia today at a
meeting between a japanese eco
nomic mission and representatives
of private oil companies.
Under the proposed plan the
Royal Dutch-Shell group and SUBJ
sidiary of the Standard-Vacuum Oil
Co. will supply at the rate of a.
100000 barrels of oil annually to
Japan over period of six months, u
the story continues. "a small
amount of crude oil also is involved
but this will be supplied entirely by
the British-Netherland group over
a period of IL months"
Negotiations for the oil sales "have
progressed, it is understood, with
the knowledge Of both the United
States State Department and the
British Foreign Office" the Times
asserted.
The Times said Pressure by the
japanese government on the Meth
erlands Indies government is said
to have been an important factor
in arranging the deal"
The newspaper said that shortly
after the fall of France Japan made
known her desire for oil.
