Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System
September 5 ? 1940

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 4 member bank reserve balances increased
$8,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from a decrease of
$22,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and increases of
$73?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 $86,000,000 in money in circulation and $12,000,000 in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts.
Excess reserves of neriber banks on September 4 were estimated to be approximately
$6,490,000,000, unchanged for the week. The item "Foreign'bank" deposits has been
changed to "Foreign" deposits as the item now includes deposits of some foreign
governments for m o m the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as fiscal agent of the
United States, has opened accounts.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a decrease
of $8,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed;
holdings of bonds decreased $1,000,000 and of notes $7,000,000.
