$142 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $80 million
in Other F. R. accounts (net), and $67 million in Foreign deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were a decrease
of $168 million in Reserve Bank credit and increases of $65 million in

The decrease of $168 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted
