CONDITION OF FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended September 6 member bank reserve balances increased
$190,000,000. Additions to member bank reserves arose from increases of
$195,000,000 in Reserve bank credit, $88,000,000 in gold stock and $3>000,000 in
Treasury currency, and decreases of $63 ,000,000 in Treasury cash and ¿33»000,000
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, offset in part by increases of
$120,000,000 in money in circulation and $72,000,000 in nonmember deposits and
other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on September 6
v;ere estimated to be approximately $4,970,000,000, an increase of $170,000,000
for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was an increase of
$168,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed, of
which $109,000,000 was in bonds and $59,000,000 in notes.
