CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended October 18 member bank reserve balances increased
$168,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$55,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, $41,000,000 in non­
member deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, $22,000,000 in Treasury cash
and $16 ,000,000 in money in circulation and increases of $24,000,000 in gold
stock, $7,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency.
Excess reserves of member banks on October 18 were estimated to be approximately
$5,510,000,000, an increase of $110,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a decrease of
$17,000,000 in holdings of United States Treasury bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended October 18, 1939, were as follows*
