The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during
the week ended January 10, decreased $502 million to $25,912 million. Estimated
currency and coin of member banks decreased $262 million and their reserve balances
at the Federal Reserve Banks decreased $240 million. Estimated required reserves
decreased $459 million; and estimated excess reserves decreased $43 million to
$578 million. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal
Reserve Banks by $398 million, compared with the revised figure of $126 million the

The principal changes reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were decreases of $315 million in member bank borrowings, $140 million
in U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreements, and $83 million in
