BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

October 13, 1950

(For Immediate Release)
CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

During the week ended October 11 member bank reserve balances increased
$163 million. Additions to member bank reserves resulted from a decrease of
$340 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and an increase of
$72 million in Reserve Bank credit, offset in part by increases of $151 million
in money in circulation, $4l million in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, and $8 million in Treasury cash holdings, and a decrease of
$50 million in gold stock. Excess reserves of member banks on October 11 were
estimated to be approximately $ 9 8 0 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances increased $23 million and of
United States Government securities $132 million, the latter change reflecting
increases of $ 9 8 million in bonds, $40 million in notes, and $3 million in
certificates, and a decrease of $9 million in bills.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended October 11, 1950 were as follows:
