included an increase of $512 million in member bank reserve balances at the Federal
Reserve Banks. Estimated required reserves increased $253 million; and estimated
excess reserves increased $343 million to $8l6 million. Member bank borrowings at
the Federal Reserve Banks exceeded excess reserves by $250 million, compared with
$483 million the week before.
The principal changes supplying average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were increases of $665 million in Federal Reserve float and $110 million in member bank borrowings. The principal offsetting changes were a decrease
of $156 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and an increase of
$110 million in currency in circulation. Total Reserve Bank credit increased
$64l million.
As of Tuesday, December 22, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $232 million lower than on Wednesday, December 16, U. S. Government securities under under repurchase agreement were $23 million lower, and
member bank borrowings were $185 million higher.
NOTE: Next week's statement will be issued
