of the Federal Reservé System
July 28, 1938*

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended July 27 member bank reserve balances decreased
$14,000,000* Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
#7,000,000 in Treasury cash, #8,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve banks and #29,000,000 in nonmember deposits and otherFederal Reserve
accounts and a decrease of #2,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, offset in part
by increases of #13,000,000 in gold stock and #2,000,000 in Treasury currency
and a decrease of #17,000,000 in money in circulation* Excess reserves of
member banks on July 27 were estimated to be approximately #3,040,000,000, un­
changed for the week.
The principal changes in holdings of bills and securities were an increase
of #17,000,000 in United States Treasury notes and a decrease of #17,000,000 in
United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended July 27, 1938, were as follows!
