Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
February 9, 1939
CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended February member bank reserve balances decreased
$29,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$10,000,O'O in money in circulation, $44,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve banks, and $18,000,000 in nonmenber deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts, offset in part by increases of $38,000,000 in gold stock and
$2,000,000 in Reserve bank credit and a decrease of $2,000,000 in Treasury cash#
Excess reserves of member banks on February 8 were estimated to be approximately
$3>460,000,000, a decrease of $20,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended February 8, 1939, were as follows»
