BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

July 22, 1954

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

During the week ended July 21, Member bank reserves increased
$89 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$142 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $127 million in
Mpney in circulation, and $21 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks. The principal offsetting change was a decrease of $206 million in Reserve
Bank credit.
The decrease of $206 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
decreases of $188 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
$29 million in Float, and an increase of $10 million in Loans, discounts and
advances. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected a
decrease of $188 million in bills.
