Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
November 3, 1938

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended November 2 member bank reserve balances decreased
$54-,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$52,000,000 in money in circulation and $51,000,000 in nonmember
deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts, offset in part by decreases of §16,000,000
in Treasury cash and $8,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks
and increases of $20,000,000 in gold stock, $2,000,000 in Reserve bank credit
and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency. Excess reserves of member banks on
November 2 were estimated to be approximately $3,220,000,000, a decrease of
$60^000,000 for the week*
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended November 2, 1938, were as follows»
