Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
April 11, 1940.

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended April 10 member bank reserve balances increased
$180,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$12,000,000 in money in circulation, $19,000,000 in Treasury cash, $102,000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, and $4,000,000 in nonnember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, and increases of $53,000,000 in gold
stock and $2,0(30,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by a decrease of
$12,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of member banks on April 10
were estimated to be approximately $5,950,000,000, an increase of $130,000,000
for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended April 10, 1940, were as follows:
