BOARD OF GOVERNORS

For Immediate Release
June 30, 1955

WEEKLY AVERAGES OF MEMBER BANK RESERVES, RESERVE BANK CREDIT, AND RELATED ITEMS
and
STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The weekly average of Member bank reserve balances for the week ending
June 29 decreased $345 million to $18,653 million. The principal changes reducing
reserves were a decrease of $24.0 million in Reserve Bank credit and increases of
$110 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $17 million in
Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting change was
a decrease of $14 million in Money in circulation. Estimated average excess reserves of member banks for the week decreased $215 million to $494 million.
The decrease of $240 million in average Reserve Bank credit for the week
resulted principally from decreases of $348 million in Float and $11 million in
Other loans, discounts, and advances, and an increase of $119 million in Member bank
borrowings.
As of Wednesday, June 29, Member bank borrowings were $329 million higher
than a week earlier.
