BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

July 29, 1954

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE B A M S
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items

During the week ended July 28, Member bank reserves decreased
$5 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were decreases of
$200 million in Reserve Bank credit and $24 million in Gold stock, and an increase of $12 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The
principal offsetting changes were decreases of $80 million in Foreign deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks, $78 million in Money in circulation, and $72 million
in Other F. R. accounts (net).
The decrease of $200 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from decreases of $197 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright and
$129 million in Float, and an increase of $127 million in Loans, discounts and
advances. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected a
decrease of $197 million in bills.
