rency and coin of member banks decreased $27 million and their reserve balances at
! the Federal Reserve Banks increased $40 million. Estimated required reserves
decreased $2$ million; and estimated excess reserves increased $37 million to $522
million. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve
Banks by $475 million, compared with the revised figure of $421 million the week

The principal changes supplying average reserve balances with Federal

with Federal Reserve Banks and $136 million in "other" F.R. accounts (net). Total
Reserve Bank credit increased $183 million.
