An even broader measure, M3, fell to a seasonally adjusted $4,142.4 billion from $4,148.0 billion. The narrowest measure of the money supply, M1, rose to $867.6 billion from $864.3 billion. M1 includes cash in circulation, deposits in checking accounts and non-bank traveler’s checks. M2 is M1 plus accounts such as savings deposits and money-market mutual funds. M3 is M2 plus less-liquid accounts such as certificates of deposit in minimum denominations of $100,000.
