Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
August 22, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended August 21 member bank reserve balances increased
$79,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$51,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and increases of
$111,000,000 in gold stock and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part
by increases of $32,000,000 in money in circulation, $10,000,000 in Treasury cash,
and $41,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, and a
decrease of $3,000,000 in Reserve bonk credit. Excess reserves of member banks
on August 21 were estimated to be approximately $6,420,000,000, an increase of
$30,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended August 21, 1940, were as follows:
