The Federal Reserve Board, using new powers from the 1935 Banking Act, ordered member banks to boost reserves against deposits by 50 percent. The move aims to prevent a credit boom by reducing idle funds not available for lending, with excess reserves still totaling about 1.9 billion dollars. The action seeks to curb inflation and support a cautious recovery by restraining speculative borrowing.

The text argues that ample funds remain ready for sound commercial loans, with no rate bid up and little near-term change.

It predicts gradual release of reserves as business expands non speculatively.
