Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
July 7* 1938
CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended July 6 member bank reserve balances increased
§33*000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$91**000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and $8,000,000
in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and increases of
$13,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, 05*000,000 in gold stock and 03*000,000
in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $86*000,000 in money
in circulation and Oil*000,000 in Treasury cash. Excess reserves of member
banks on July 6 were estimated to bo approximately -'"2,990,000,000, an in­
crease of 090,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended July 6, 1938, were as follows:
