Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
February 1, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended January 31 member bank reserve balances increased
$2,000,000, Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$23,000,000 in Treasury cash and increases of $52,000,000 in gold stock and
$2,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $42,000,000 in
Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, $9,000,000 in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts and $11,000,000 in money in circulation and
by a decrease of $11,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of member
banks on January 31 were estimated to be approximately $5,560,000,000, a decrease of $30,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended January 31, 1940, were as follows?
