CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended May 21 member bank reserve balances increased
$274*000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$285,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $3,000 ¡,000 in
Treasury cash and an increase of $27,000,000 in gold stock, offset in part by a
decrease of $2,000.000 in Reserve Bank credit and increases of 831,000,000 in
money in circulation and $3.0,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on Ilay 21 vere estimated to
be $5,860,000,000, an increase of $170,000,000 for the weak.
Changes in r.e:»ber bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended '..lay 21, 1941, were as follows*
