BOARD OF GOVERNORS

For Immediate Release
April 7, I960

WEEKLY AVERAGES OF MEMBER BANK RESERVES, RESERVE BANK CREDIT, AND RELATED ITEMS
and
STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The average of daily figures of total member "bank reserves held during
the week ended April 6 decreased $3 million to $17,890 million, which reflected
in part an increase of $50 million in member bank reserve balances at the Federal
Reserve Banks. Estimated required reserves decreased $59 million; and estimated
excess reserves increased $56 million to $4l4 million. Member bank borrowings at
the Federal Reserve Banks exceeded excess reserves by $290 million, compared with
the revised figure of $244 million the week before.
The principal changes supplying average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were increases of $102 million in member bank borrowings, $45 million
in Federal Reserve holdings of U. S. Government securities, and $25 million in
"other" leans, discounts, and advances, and a decrease of $40 million in foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were
increases of $119 million in currency in circulation, $30 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $29 million in "other" deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks. Total Reserve Bank credit increased $172 million.
As of Wednesday, April 6, U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement were $55 million higher than a week earlier and member bank
borrowings were $90 million lower.
