Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
June 23, 1938
CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended June 22 member bank reserve balances increased
$18,000,000* Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$18,000,000 in money in circulation and $6,000,000 in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve banks and increases of $7,000,000 in gold stock and #3,000,000
in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $4,000,000 in Treasury cash
and $7,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and a
decrease of $7,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of member banks
on June 22 were estimated to be approximately $2,780,000,000,an increase of
$50,000,000 for the week.
Principal changes in holdings of bills and securities were an increase of
$10,000,000 in United States Treasury notes and a decrease of $10,000,000 in
United States Treasury bills.
