BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

September 14, 1950

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 13 member bank reserve balances increased
§254 million. Additions to member bank reserves resulted from an increase of
$227 million in Reserve Bank credit and decreases of §108 million in money in
circulation, f>6 million in Treasury cash holdings, and $51 million in nonmember
deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts, offset in part by an increase of
$>137 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks . Excess reserves of
member banks on September 1$ were estimated to be approximately $990 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $28 million, while
holdings of United States Government securities increased $122 million, the latter
change reflecting increases of $949 million in bonds and $103 million in certificates, and decreases of §717 million in bills and $213 million in notes.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended September 13, 1950, were as follows:
