OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

•

(For Immediate Release)

January 12, 1950

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended January 11 member bank reserve balances decreased
$3&9 million. Reductions in member bank reserves resulted from a decrease of
$827 million in Reserve Bank credit and an increase of $78 million in nonmember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, offset in part by decreases of
$292 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $240 million in
money in circulation, and $6 million in Treasury cash. Excess reserves of
member banks on January 11 were estimated to be approximately $1,090 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances increased $4 million while
holdings of United States Government securities decreased $599 million, the latter
change reflecting decreases of $6ll million in bills, $47 million in bonds, and
$1 million in notes, and an increase of $60 million in certificates.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended January 11, 1950 were as follows:
