Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
September 29, 1938

CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 28 member bank reserve balances increased
#183,000,000# Additions to member bank reserves arose from decreases of
$>53,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, $17,000,000 in
Treasury cash and $>5,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve
accounts and increases of $126,000,000 in gold stock and $3,000,000 in Treasury
currency, offset in part by an increase of $22,000,000 in money in circulation*
Excess reserves of member banks on September 28 were estimated to be approximately
$2,890,000,000, an increase of $150 ,000,000 for the week.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and
the year ended September 28, 1938, were as follows!
