Board of Governors
of the Federal. Reserve System
October 28, 1937

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended October 27 member bank reserve balances increased
$12,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$27,000,000 in money in circulation and increases of $5,000,000 in Reserve bank
credit and $2,000,000 in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of
$5,000,000 in Treasury cash other than inactive gold, $12,000,000 in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve banks and $6,000,000 in nomaember deposits and other
Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on October 27 were
estimated to be approximately $1,070,000,000, an increase of 150,000,000 for the
week. Inactive gold included in the gold stock and Treasury cash amounted to
$1,270,000,000 on October 27, an increase of $9,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended October 27, 1937, were as followst
