Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
October 13, 1938

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended October 12 member bank reserve balances increased
$79,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$67,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks and increases of
$57 ,000,000 in gold stock, $12,000,000 in Reserve bank credit and $3,000,000 in
Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $27,000,000 in money in circu­
lation, $29,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and
$3,000,000 in Treasury cash. Excess reserves of member banks on October 12 were
estimated to be approximately $3 ,050,000,000, an increase of $30 ,000,000 for the
week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended October 12, 1938, were as follows»
