Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
December 1, 1933

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended November 30 member bank reserve balances increased
$58 ,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$28,000,000 in Treasury cash and increases of $72,000,000 in gold stock and.
<§7,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $25,000,000
in money in circulation, #10,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
banks and $12,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts
and a decrease of 03,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess re.serves of member
banks on November 30 were estimated to be approximately $3 »380,000,000, an in­
crease of ij>30 ,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the v/eek
and the year ended November 30 , 1938, were as follows!
