November 30, 1939

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended November 29 member bank reserve balances were practi­
cally unchanged. Additions to member bank reserves arising from a decrease of
$2$,000?000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and increases of
$90,000,000 in gold stock and $5,000,000 in Treasury currency were offset by a de—
creo.se of ¿40,000,000 in Reserve bank credit and increases of $28,000,000 in money
in circulation, $2,000,000 in Treasury cash and $49,000,000 in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on November
29 were estimated to be approximately $5,140,000,000, a decrease of $30,000,000
for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a decrease of
$41,000,000 in holdings of United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended November 29, 1939, were as followst
