In December 1927 The Form Of The Circulation Statement Was Changed And Gold Held By Federal Reserve Banks Under Earmark For Foreign Account Was Excluded, And Gold Held Abroad For Federal Reserve Banks Was Included. Data Were Revised By The Federal Reserve Board To Reflect These Changes Back To 1914. Between January 31, 1934 And Febuary 1, 1934, The Gold Stock Was Increased 2.98 Billion Dollars Of Which 2.81 Billion Dollars Was The Increment Resulting From Reduction In The Weight Of The Gold Dollar And The Remainder Was Gold Which Had Been Purchased By The Treasury Previously, But Not Added To The Gold Stock.
