BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM (For Immediate Release) January 19, 1950 CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BARKS During the week ended January 18 member bank reserve balances decreased $199 million. Reductions in member bank reserves resulted from a decrease of $261 million in Reserve Bank credit and increases of $126 million in Treasurydeposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $2 million in Treasury cash, offset in part by decreases of $190 million in money in circulation and $2 million in nonmember' deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on January 18 were estimated to be approximately $910 million. Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $2 million and of United States Government securities $358 million, the latter change reflecting decreases of $379 million in bills, $31 million in bonds and $10 million in notes, and an increase of $62 million in certificates. Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the week and the year ended January 18, 1950 were as follows: "" Increase or decrease since Jan. 18, 1950 Jan. 11, 1950 Jan. 19, 19^9 (In millions of dollars) U.
