Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
September 28, 1939

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 27 member bank reserve balances increased
$72,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$67,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, $12,000,000 in
Treasury cash, and $10,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts* and an increase of $23 ,000,000 in gold stock, offset in part by a de­
crease of $37,000,000 in Reserve bank credit and an increase of $2,000,000 in
money in circulation. Excess reserves of member banks on September 27 were
estimated to be approximately $5>330,000,000, an increase of $50,000,000 for the
week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a net decrease
of $22,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed;
holdings of bonds increased $8,000,000, while holdings of bills decreased
$30 , 000 , 000.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended September 27, 1939, were as follows*
