BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

January 24, 1952

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended January 23, Member Bank reserves increased
$172 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$184 million in Money in circulation, $127 million in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks, $40 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks,
and $l6 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $11 million in
Treasury cash holdings, and an increase of $50 million in Gold stock. These
changes were largely offset by a decrease of $256 million in Reserve Bank credit.

The decrease of $256 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from decreases of $126 million in U. S. Government securities, $108 million in Float,
and $22 million in Loans, discounts and advances. Holdings of U. S. Government
securities, which include $22 million certificates of indebtedness - special series,
issued to the Federal Reserve Banks, reflected decreases of $71 million in bills
and $55 million in certificates.
