July 25, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended July 24 member bank reserve balances decreased
$298,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$365,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, $28,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and $30,000,000 in Treasury
cash and a decrease of $10,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, offset in part by increases of $111,000,000 in gold stock and $4,000,000 in Treasury currency and a
decrease of $18,000,000 in money in circulation. Excess reserves of member banks
on July 24 were estimated to be approximately $6,570,000,000, a decrease of
$310,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended Jul;.; 24, 1940, were as follows:
