BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
(For Immediate Release)

January 3, 1952

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended January 2, Member bank reserves increased
$156 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$281 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $260 million in
Money in circulation, $99 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks,
$87 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $87 million in Other
F
* R. accounts (net), and $14 million in Treasury cash holdings, and an increase
of $76 million in Gold stock. These changes were largely offset by a decrease
of $751 million in Reserve Bank credit.
The decrease of $751 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from decreases of $691 million in Loans, discounts and advances and $215 million in
Float, and an increase of $155 million in U. S. Government securities. The
increase in U, S. Government securities reflected increases of $162 million in
bills and $2 million in bonds, and a decrease of $9 million in certificates.
