Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the period ended July 11, 1951, Member bank reserves increased
$175 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were an increase of
$297 million in Reserve Bank credit, and a decrease of $55 million in Money in
circulation. The principal offsetting changes were increases of $74 million in
Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $55 million in Foreign deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks, and $38 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks.
The increase of $297 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from increases of $127 million in Float, $115 million in U. S. Government securities,
and $55 million in Loans, discounts and advances. Holdings of U. S. Government
securities reflected increases of $115 million in bills and $1,000 million in
notes, and a decrease of $1,000 million in bonds.
During the period $1,000 million of 2 - 3 A per cent Treasury bonds,
Investment Series B-1975-80, were exchanged for a like amount of 1-1/2 per cent
Treasury notes due April 1, 1956. This exchange was made as a step toward providing a better balanced distribution of maturities in the System Open Market
Account.
