Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
May 19, 1938*

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended May 18 member bank reserve balances increased
$62,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
¡178,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and increases of
#12,000,000 in gold stock and ¡$2,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part
by increases of $6,000,000 in money in circulation, $11,000,000 in Treasury
cash and $12,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts.
Excess reserves of member banks on May 18 were estimated to be approximately
§2,560,000,000, an increase of ¡£80,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended May 18, 1938, were as followst
