(For Immediate Release)

December 6, 1951

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended December 5# Member bank reserves increased
$316 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were increases of
$402 million in Reserve Bank credit and $49 million in gold stock, and a decrease
of $47 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal
offsetting changes were increases of $149 million in Money in circulation,
$21 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $16 million in
Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
The increase of $402 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from an

of $23 million in bonds and a decrease of $23 million in certificates.
