BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
(For Immediate Release)

August 9> 1951

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended August 8, Member bank reserves increased
$229 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$354 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $202
million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were a decrease of $236 million in Reserve Bank credit, and
increases of $62 million in Money in circulation and $43 million in Foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
The decrease of $236 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
decreases of $208 million in Loans, discounts, and advances and $66 million

Holdings of U. S. Government securities reflected increases of $30 million in
bills and $7 million in certificates.
