increased $16 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $50 million to $761
million. Member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks exceeded excess

reserves. During the statement week, borrowings of member banks from the Reserve
Banks fluctuated between a high of $1,492 million for the three days December 28-30
and a low of $25 million on December 31 when banks usually pay off borrowings in
order to avoid showing borrowed money in their statements at the year end.
The principal changes supplying average reserves were increases of
$259 million in member bank borrowings and $88 million in Federal Reserve holdings
of U. S» Government securities, and decreases of $240 million in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks, $163 million in money in circulation, and $51 million
^' accounts (net). The principal offsetting changes were a decrease
of $671 million in Federal Reserve float and an increase of $77 million in "other"
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Total Reserve Bank credit decreased $318 million.
As of Wednesday, January 2, U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement were $122 million lower than a week earlier and member bank
borrowings were $279 million lower.
