Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
August 7, 1941

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended August 6 member bank reserve balances decreased
$146,000,000* Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$98,000,000 in money in circulation, $15,000,000 in Treasury cash, and $116,000-000
in nonmeniber deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and a decrease of
$14,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit, offset in part by a decrease of $82,000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and increases of $9,000,000 in
gold stock and $6,000,000 in Treasury currency. Excess reserves of member banks
on August 6 were estimated to be approximately $5,020,000,000, a decrease of
$140,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended August 6, 1941, were as follows*
