CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended November 9 member bank reserve balances decreased
$140,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
#58,000,000 in money in circulation, $10-4,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other
Federal Reserve accounts and $2,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
banks and a decrease of $13,000,000 in Reserve bank credit offset in part by a
decrease of $14,000,000 in Treasury cash and increases of $20,000,000 in gold
stock and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency. Excess reserves of member banks on
November 9 were estimated to be approximately $3,130,000,000, a decrease of
$90,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended November 9, 1938, were as follows»
