(Released for P u b l i c a t i o n F r i d a y morning, September 3,19U8)
September 2, I9U8

H.U.I
CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended September 1, member bank reserve balances increased
$56,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves resulted from a decrease of
$209f000,000 in treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and increases of
$1U,000,000 in gold stock and $U,000,000 in Treasury currency offset in part by
increases of $107,000,000 in money in circulation and $9,000,000 in nonmember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and a decrease of $56,000,000 in
Reserve Bank credit. Excess reserves of member banks on September 1 were estimated
to be approximately $9Uo,000,000.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $6,000,000 and United
States Government securities decreased $49,000,000. The decrease in holdings of
United States Government securities reflects decreases of $182,000,000 in bills,
$65,000,000 in certificates and $10,000,000 in notes and an increase of
$208,000,000 in bondsf
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended September 1, I9U8, were as follows:
