H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

February 11, 1954

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

During the week ended February 10, Member bank reserves decreased
$2l6 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were increases of
$l8l million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $11 million in
Treasury cash holdings, and a decrease of $45 million in Reserve Bank credit.
The decrease of $45 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from an
increase of $89 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
decreases of $75 million in Loans, discounts and advances and $60 million in
Float. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected an
increase of $89 million in bills.
