of the Federal Reserve System
January 19, 1939.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended January 18 member bank reserve balances increased
$17-4,000,000, Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
050,000,000 in money in circulation, $73,000,000 in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve banks and $26,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts and increases of $38,000,000 in gold stock and $5,000,000 in
Treasury currency, partly offset by an increase of $14,000,000 in Treasury cash
and a decrease of $4,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of member
banks on January 18 were estimated to be approximately $3 ,560,000,000f an in­
crease of $120,000,000 for the week.
The principal changes in holdings of bills and securities were an increase
of $30,000,000 in United States Treasury notes and a corresponding decrease in
United States Treasury bills*
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended January 18, 1939, were as follows*
