STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
June 8, 1939.

Released for publication
Friday morning, June 9;
not earlier.

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended June 7 member bank reserve balances increased
$24,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$64,000,000 in Treasury cash and increases of $31,000,000 in gold stock and
$3,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, offset in part by increases of $18,000,000 in
money in circulation, $15,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks
and $44,000,000 in nonrnember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess
reserves of member banks on June 7 were estimated to be approximately
$4,280,000,000, an increase of $60,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended June 7, 1939, were as followsl
