BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
(For Immediate Release)

November 18, 1954

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

. . During the week ended November 17, Member bank reserves decreased
$ 5 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were increases of
$331 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and $132 million
in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes
were an increase of $352 million in Reserve Bank credit and decreases of
$45 million in Money in circulation and $18 million in Foreign deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks.
The increase of $352 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
increases of $463 million in Float and $6 million in Loans, discounts and
advances, and a decrease of $117 million in U. S. Government securities bought
outright. The decrease in U. S. Government securities bought outright was in
holdings of bills.
