BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
B.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

December 2, 1954

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items

During the week ended December 1, Member bank reserves increased
$24 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were an increase of
$338 million in Reserve Bank credit and a decrease of $14 million in Foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were increases of $204 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks,
$92 million in Money in circulation, and $27 million in Other deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks.
The increase of $338 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
increases of $335 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
$63 million in Float, and a decrease of $6l million in Loans, discounts and
advances. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected an
increase of $335 million in bills.
