Secretary Morgeuthau. perhaps with this in mind, was quick to call attention to the bond market, which didn't get frightened and which he said was "behaving beautifully" de spite the crash in stocks. Other reasons behind the steady bond market were perhaps the excess reserves of member banks of the fed eral reserve system, which increased In the five-week period ending Sep tember 22 from 1800 000.000 to 000.000.000 as the result of a release of gold by the treasury from It In active account.

Chicago banks had 50 000.000, and banks elsewhere 60.00.000.
