BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

January 28, 1954

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

During the week ended January 27, Member bank reserves decreased
$1,015 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were a decrease of
$917 million in Reserve Bank credit and increases of $231 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $50 million in Foreign deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks, and $13 million in Treasury cash holdings. The principal
offsetting change was a decrease of $183 million in Money in circulation.
The decrease of $917 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
decreases of $703 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
$255 million in Float, and an increase of $4l million in Loans, discounts and
advances. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected
decreases of $380 million in bills and $323 million in certificates. The decrease
in certificates represents the retirement in full of last week's holdings of the
special series issued to the Federal Reserve Banks.
