and
STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The average of daily figures of member tank reserves for the week ending
January 1 increased $4l million to $19,707 million. Estimated required reserves
increased $31 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $10 million to
$724 million. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks by $68 million; the week before they were $67 million less than member
bank borrowings.
The principal changes supplying average reserves were increases of $276
million in U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement and $118
million bought outright, and decreases of $130 million in money in circulation
and $25 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal
offsetting changes were decreases of $344 million in Federal Reserve float and
$125 million in member bank borrowings, and increases of $38 million in foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $22 million in "other" deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Total Reserve Bank credit decreased $64 million.
As of Wednesday, January 1, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $84 million higher than a week earlier, U. S. Government
securities held under repurchase agreement were $135 million higher, and member
bank borrowings were $738 million lower.
