CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended August i*, member bank reserve balances increased
$72,000,000, Additions to member bank.' reserves resulted from increases of
$17^,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit and 19,000,000 in gold stock and a decrease
of ^22,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, offset
in part by increases of $101,000,000 in money in circulation and $30,000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Excess reserves of member banks
on August 1* were estimated to be approximately $780,000,000.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $1*5*000,000 while
holdings of United States Government securities increased $169*000,000. The increase in holdings of United States Government securities reflects increases of
$1*02,000,000 in bonds and $161|, 000,000 in certificates and decreases of
$31*7,000,000 in bills and $51,000,000 in notes.
