BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H .4.1

(For Immediate Release)

July 15, 1954

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

During the week ended July 14, Member bank reserves decreased
$354 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were increases of
$257 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $200 million in
Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $20 million in Other deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks, and a decrease of $67 million in Reserve Bank credit.
The principal offsetting changes were decreases of $173 million in Money in
circulation and $16 million in Treasury cash holdings.
The decrease of $67 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
decreases of $135 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
$1 million in Loans, discounts and advances, and
increase of $69 million in
Float. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected a
decrease of $135 million in bills.
