Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
June 2, 1938.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended June 1 member bank reserve balances increased
#29,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
•190,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and increases of
#10,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, $13,000,000 in gold stock and $2,000,000
in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $76,000,000 in money in
circulation, $6,000,000 in Treasury cash and $5,000,000 in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on June 1
were estimated to be approximately $2,640,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000
for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended June 1, 1938, were as followsi
