CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BAIJKS

$182,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of

Reserve banks, and increases of $108,000,000 in gold stock and $14,000,000 in
Reserve bank credit, offset in part by increases of $27,000,000 in money in circulation and $30,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts.
Excess reserves of member banks on April 17 were estimated to be approximately
$6,050,000,000, an increase of $100,000,000 for the week.
