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:
