During the week ended August 22, Member bank reserves decreased $113

with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were decreases of
$6l million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $42 million in
Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
The decrease of $185 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from

and $28 million in Loans, discounts and advances. Holdings of U. S. Government
securities reflected decreases of $63 million in b i l l s and $4 million in
