CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended June 2 member bank reserve balances decreased

Federal Reserve banks, offset in part by increases of $16,000,000 in Reserve
bank credit and
$2,000,000 in Treasury currency and decreases of $8,000,000
in Treasury cash, other than inactive gold, and $6,000,000 in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts* Excess reserves of member banks on June 2
were estimated to be approximately $S60,000r000, a decrease of $80,000,000 for
the week. Inactive gold included in the gold stock and Treasury cash amounted
to $796,000,000 on June 2, an increase of $50,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended June 2, 1937, were as follows!
