Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
October 13 , 1939

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended October 11 member bank reserve balances increased
$67,000,000* Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$12,000,000 in Treasury cash, $65,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve banks and $35,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts, and increases of $15,000,000 in gold stock and $4,000,000 in Treasury
currency, offset in part by an increase of $37,000,000 in money in circulation
and a decrease of $27,000,000 in Reserve bank credit. Excess reserves of
member banks on October 11 were estimated to be approximately $5,400,000,000,
an increase of $40,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a 'decrease
of $20,000,000 in holdings of United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended October 1]., 1939, were as follows ?
