BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

March 20, 1952

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended March 19, Member bank reserves increased
$1,257 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were decreases of
$633 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, $91 million
in Money in circulation, $80 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks, $19 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and
$11 million in Treasury cash holdings, and an increase of $438 million in
Reserve Bank credit. The principal offsetting change was an increase of
$18 million in Other F. R. accounts (net).

The increase of $438 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
increases of $374 million in Float and $295 million in U. S. Government securities, and a decrease of $231 million in Loans, discounts and advances.
Holdings of U. S. Government securities, which include $311 million certificates of indebtedness—special series, issued to the Federal Reserve Banks,
reflected an increase of $311 million in certificates and a decrease of
$l6 million in bills.
