BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

January 21, 1954

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items

During the week ended January 20, Member bank reserves increased
$646 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$201 million in Money in circulation, $155 million in Other deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks, $8l million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and
$57 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and an increase of
$182 million in Reserve Bank credit. The principal offsetting change was a decrease of $24 million in Gold stock.
The increase of $182 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
increases of $223 million in Float and $46 million in U. S. Government securities
bought outright, and a decrease of $87 million in Loans, discounts and advances.
Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected an increase of
$323 million in special certificates issued to the Federal Reserve Banks and a
decrease of $277 million in bills.
