Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
November 14, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended November 13 member bank reserve balances increased
$73*000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$10,000,000 in Treasury cash and $61,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks and increases of $56,000,000 in gold stock and $2,000,000 in Treasury
currency, offset in part by a decrease of $36,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit and
increases of $10,000,000 in money in circulation and $11,000,000 in nonmernber
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on
November 13 were estimated to be approximately $6,800,000,000, on increase of
$70,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction
of $73,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed:
holdings of bonds decreased $48,000,000 and of notes $25,000,000.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended November 13, 1940, were as follows:
