CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

Federal Reserve banks, and increases of $25,000,000 in gold stock and $2,000,000
in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $28,000,000 in Treasury cash
and $35*000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and a
decrease of $5,000,000 in Reserve bank creditt Excess reserves of member banks on
