Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
June 1, 1939
CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended May 31 member bank reserve balances decreased
$68,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$75,000,000 in money in circulation, $5 ,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve banks and $27,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts, and a decrease of $3,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, offset in part by
increases of $29,000,000 in gold stock and $4,000,000 in Treasury currency and a
decrease of $11,000,000 in Treasury cash. Excess reserves of member banks on
May 31 were estimated to be approximately $4,220,000,000, a decrease of
$80,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended May 31, 1939, were as follows:
