Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
November 7, 1940
CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended November 6 member bank reserve balances decreased
$193,000,000. Reductions in member bank reserves arose from increases of
$120,000,000 in money in circulation, $89,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks, $34,000,000 in Treasury cash, and $21,000,000 in nonmember deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts, and a decrease of $19,000,000 in Reserve Bank
credit, offset in part by increases of $82,000,000 in gold stock and $4,000,000
in Treasury currency. Excess reserves of member banks on November 6 wore estimated
to be approximately $6,730,000,000, a decrease of $200,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction of
$6,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed: holdings
of bonds decreased $2,000,000 and of notes $4,000,000.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended November 6, 1940, were as follows:
