BOARD OF GOVERNORS
OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

For Immediate Release
August 8, 1957

WEEKLY AVERAGES OF MEMBER BANK RESERVES, RESERVE BANK CREDIT, AND RELATED ITEMS
and
STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF TEE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The average of daily figures of member bank reserves for the week ending
August 7 decreased $17 million to $18,868 million. Estimated required reserves
decreased $108 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $91 million to
$480 million. Member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks exceeded excess
reserves by $580 million, compared with $164 million the week before.
The principal changes reducing average reserves were decreases of
$238 million in U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement and
$70 million in Federal Reserve float, and increases of $155 million in "other"
F. R. accounts (net) and $74 million in money in circulation. The principal offsetting change was an increase of $507 million in member bank borrowings. Total
Reserve Bank credit increased $192 million.
As of Wednesday, August 7, holdings of U. S. Government securities bought
outright were $2 million lower than a week earlier, U. S. Government securities
held under repurchase agreement were $276 million lower, and member bank borrowings
were $383 million higher. Holdings of certificates increased $8,571 million and
notes decreased a like amount, reflecting the exchange of notes maturing August 1
and October 1 for the new issues of certificates maturing December 1, 1957 and
August 1, 1958.
