BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.U.I

(For Immediate Release)

August 30, 1951

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended August 29, Member bank reserves decreased
$301 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were a decrease of
$174 million in Reserve Bank credit, and increases of $123 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $102 million in Money in circulation.
The principal offsetting changes were decreases of $56 million in Other deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks and $4l million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
The decrease of $174 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
decreases of $219 million in Float and $18 million in U. S. Government securities,
and an increase of $63 million in Loans, discounts and advances. Holdings of U. S.
Government securities reflected a decrease of $18 million in bills.
