CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended March 5 member bank reserve balances decreased
$39,000^000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$80,000,000 in money in circulation, $23,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks,- and $19,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts, offset in part by increases of $58,000,000 in gold stock, $14,000,000 in
Reserve Bank credit, and $2,000,000 in Treasury currency, and a reduction of
$12,000,000 in Treasury cash. Excess reserves of member banks on I.iarch 5 were
estimated to be approximately $6,44-0,000,000, a decrease of $100,000,000 for the
week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended March 5, 1.94-1, were as follows«
