Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended May 17 member bank reserve balances increased
$38 ,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of $32 ,000,000
in Treasury deposits xvith the Federal Reserve banks and increases of $36,000,000 in
gold stock and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of
$9,000,000 in money in circulation, $5,000,000 in Treasury cash and $22,000,000 in
nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member
banks on May 17 were estimated to be approximately $4,240,000,000, an increase of
$50,000,000 for the week*

the year ended May 17, 1939, were as followsI
