BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.U.I

(For Immediate Release)

July 20, 1950

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended July 19 member bank reserve balances decreased
$291 million. Reductions in member bank reserves resulted from a decrease of
$282 million in Reserve Bank credit and increases of $142 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $5 million in nonmember deposits and
other Federal Reserve accounts, offset in part by a decrease of $140 million in
money in circulation. Excess reserves of member banks on July 19 were estimated
to be approximately $670 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances increased $134 million, while
holdings of United States Government securities decreased $425 million, the latter
change reflecting decreases of $204 million in bills, $125 million in bonds, $53
million in certificates, and $43 million in notes.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended July 19, 1950# were as follows:
