Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
October 31, 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended October 30 member bank reserve balances increased
$29,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$45,000,000 in Treasury cash and $7,000>000 in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks, and an increase of $71,000,000 in gold stock, offset in part by
a decrease of $7,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit, and increases of $29,000,000
in money in circulation and $59,000,000 in nonmernber deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on October 30 were estimated
to be approximately $6,930,000,000, a decrease of $10,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a reduction
of $19,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed:
holdings of bonds decreased $7,000,000 and of notes $12,000,000*
Changes in member banK reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended October 30, 1940, were as follows:
