FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H-4.1

For immediate release
January 18, 1962

The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during the
week ended January 17 decreased a net of $289 million to $20,005 million- Estimated
currency and coin of member banks increased $2 million and their reserve balances at
the Federal Reserve Banks decreased $291 million. Estimated required reserves de­
creased $210 million; and estimated excess reserves decreased $79 million to $533
million. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve
Banks by $464 million, compared with the revised figure of $548 million the week
before.
The principal changes reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were decreases of $216 million in U. S. Government securities bought
outright and $48 million held under repurchase agreement, $189 million in Federal
Reserve float, and $44 million in gold stock, and an increase of $55 million in
Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting change was
a decrease of $275 million in currency in circulation. Total Reserve Bank credit
decreased $443 million.
As of Wednesday, January 17, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $279 million lower than a week earlier, U. S. Government secu­
rities held under repurchase agreement were $20 million higher, and member bank
borrowings were $196 million higher. Outright holdings of bills, certificates, and
bonds decreased $254 million, $6 million, and $19 million, respectively.
