WEEKLY AVERAGES OF MEMBER BANK RESERVES, RESERVE BANK CREDIT, AND RELATED ITEMS
and
STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during
the week ended November 16 decreased a net of $76 million to $18,722 million; cash
allowed as reserves increased $185 million and member bank reserve balances at the
Federal Reserve Banks decreased $261 million. Estimated required reserves decreased
$82 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $6 million to $613 million.
Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks by
$4^5 million, compared with the revised figure of $471 million the week before.
The principal changes reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were decreases of $59 million in U. S. Government securities held
under repurchase agreement and $56 million in gold stock, and increases of $229
million in currency in circulation, $101 million in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks, and $288 million in "other" deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
The principal offsetting changes were increases of $149 million in U. S. Government
securities bought outright, $323 million in Federal Reserve float, and $32 million
in member bank borrowings. Total Reserve Bank credit increased $447 million.
As of Wednesday, November 16, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $30 million higher than a week earlier, U. S. Government
securities held under repurchase agreement were $208 million lower, and member
bank borrowings were $11 million lower. Holdings of certificates decreased
$5,000 million and notes increased a like amount, reflecting an exchange of
certificates maturing November 15 for new 3 l/4 per cent notes.
