BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

June 8, 1950

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended June 7 member bank reserve balances increased
$253 million. Additions to member bank reserves resulted from an increase of
$208 million in Reserve Bank credit and decreases of $116 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $9 million in money in circulation, offset
in part by an increase of $82 million in nonmember deposits and other Federal
Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member banks on June 7 were estimated to be
approximately $750 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $212 million while
holdings of United States Government securities increased $283 million, the latter
change reflecting increases of $1,354 million in notes and $53 million in bills,
and decreases of $1,04? million in certificates and $77 million in bonds.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended June 7, 1950, were as follows:
