Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
July 27, 1939
CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended July 26 member bank reserve balances increased
$24,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of$24,000,000 in Treasury cash, $20,000,000 in money in circulation and $22,000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, and from increases of $36,000,000
in gold stock and $3 >000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by an increase
of $56,000,000 in nonnember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and a de­
crease of $25,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of member banks on
July 26 were estimated to be approximately $4,490,000,000, unchanged for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction of
$27,000,000 in United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended July 26, 1939, were as follows!
