CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended January member bank reserve balances increased

<$73»000,000 in money in circulation, #50,000,000 in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve banks, and $76,000,000 in normenber deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts, and increases of 157,000,000 in gold stock and $10,000,000 in
Treasury currency, offset in part by an increase of $18,000,000 in Treasury
cash and a decrease of $6,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of
member banks on January 4 were estimated to be approximately $3,300,000,000, an
