Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
October 24, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended October 23 member bank reserve balances increased
$132,000,000® Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
,000,000 in Treasury cash, $80,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks, and $59,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts,
and increases of $55,000,000 in gold stock and $3,000,000 in Treasury currency,
offset in part by a decrease of $93,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit and an increase
of $7,000,000 in money in circulation. Excess reserves of menber banks on October
23 were estimated to be approximately$6?940,000,000, an increase of $70,000,000
for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction of
$32,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed: holdings
of bonds decreased $12,000,000 and of notes $20,000,000.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
