The Federal Reserve System publishes weekly figures for M2 money supply in the document Money Stock Measures. M2 includes such things as cash in circulation, deposits in checking accounts, nonbank traveller's checks, accounts such as savings deposits, and money-market mutual funds. The following bar chart provides data on the M2 money supply over months during one year.

Snow Goose Nests. In the article "Trophic Interaction Cycles in Tundra Ecosystems and the Impact of Climate Change" (BioScience, Vol. 55, No, 4, pp, 311-321), R. Ims and E. Fuglei provided an overview of animal species in the northern tundra. One threat to the snow goose in arctic Canada is the lemming. Snowy owls act as protection to the snow goose breeding grounds. For two years that are 3 years apart, the following graphs give relative frequency histograms of the distances, in meters, of snow goose nests to the nearest snowy owl nest.
