BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

March 11, 1954

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

During the week ended March 10, Member bank reserves increased
$100 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$81 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $56 million in
Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $15 million in Money in
circulation. The principal offsetting changes were a decrease of $51 million
in Reserve Bank credit and an increase of $11 million in Foreign deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks.
The decrease of $51 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from a
decrease of $318 million in Float and increases of $145 million in Loans,
discounts and advances and $123 million in U. S. Government securities bought
outright. The increase in U. S. Government securities bought outright was
entirely in bills.
