CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended ¿.larch 19 member bank reserve balances decreased
$470,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$492,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $15,000,000 in money
in circulation, and $12,000,000 in Treasury cash, and a decrease of 32,000,000 in
Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $17,000,000 in gold stock and
$15,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit, and a decrease of $18,000,000 in nonmeiaber
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on
¡.larch 19 were estimated to be approximately $6 ,110 ,000,000, a decrease of
$370,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was an increase
of $50,000,000 in holdings of United States Government bonds and a decrease of
$50,000,000 in United States notes.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended March 19, 1941, were as follows:
