Though the Federal Reserve system did increase bank reserves, the increases were far too small to stop the fall in the money supply. As businesses saw their lines of credit and money reserves fall with bank closings, and consumers saw their bank deposit wealth tied up in drawn-out Bankruptcy proceedings, spending fell, worsening the collapse in the Great Depression” (smiley).
