BOARD H.4.1 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.
