$213 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were increases of
$302 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $22 million
in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $20 million in Other
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes were
a decrease of $84 million in Other F. R. accounts (net) and an increase of

The increase of $36 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
an increase of $226 million in Loans, discounts and advances, and a decrease
