Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
September 14, 1939

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 13 member bank reserve balances increased
$385,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from increases of
$230,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, $82,000,000 in gold stock and $3,000,000 in
Treasury currency and decreases of $26,000,000 in money in circulation, $37,000,000
in Treasury cash and $61,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks,
offset in part by an increase of $54,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other
Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on September 13 were
estimated to be appropriately $5,270,000,000, an increase of $300,000,000 for the
week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a net increase
of $230,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed.
Holdings of bonds and notes increased $248,000,000 and $7,000,000, respectively,
while holdings of bills decreased $25,000,000,
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended September 13 , 1939, were as follows»
