CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Member Bank Reserves and Related Items
During the week ended September 9; Member bank reserves decreased
$221 million. The principal changes reducing reserves were increases of
$239 million in Money in circulation, $33 million in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks, $31 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks, and $30 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The
principal offsetting change was an increase of $108 million in Reserve Bank
credit.
The increase of $108 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from
increases of $100 million in Loans, discounts and advances, $39 million in
U. S. Government securities held under repurchase agreement, and $20 million
in U. S. Government securities bought outright, and a decrease of $51 million
in Float. Holdings of U. S. Government securities bought outright reflected an
increase of $20 million in bills.
