CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended September 18 member bank reserve balances increased

$112,000,000 in gold stock, $10,000,000 in Reserve Bank credit, and $2,000,000
in Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $24,000,000 in Treasury
cash, $28,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $4,000,0' 0
in money in circulation, and $39,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on September 18 were estimated
to be approximately $6,530,000,000, a decrease of $10,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week
and the year ended September 18, 1940, were as follows!
