Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
August 3 , 1939

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended August £ member bank reserve balances decreased
$23,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$52,000,000 in money in circulation and $121,000,000 in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve banks and a decrease of $36 ,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, offset
in part by decreases of $136,000,000 in Treasury cash and $28,000,000 in nonmember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and increases of $21,000,000 in gold
stock and $2,000,000 in Treasury currency« Excess reserves of member banks on
August 2 were estimated to be approximately $4,460,000,000, a decrease of
$30 ,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction of
$35,000,000 in United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended August 2 , 1939, were as follows«
