COUDITIOK OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended May 24 member bank reserve balances increased
$92,000,000* Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$20,000,000 in money in circulation, $37,000,000 in Treasury cash and $12,000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, and increases of $35 ,000,000 in
gold stock and $2,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by an increase of
$1-4,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess re­
serves of member banks on I.Iay 24 were estimated to be approximately
$4,300,000,000, aii increase of $60,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended May 24, 1939, were as follows i
