BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4.1

(For Immediate Release)

September 16, 1954

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

During the week ended September 15, Member bank reserves increased
$368 million. The principal changes supplying reserves were an increase of
$315 million in Reserve Bank credit and decreases of $117 million in Money in
circulation, $18 million in Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and
$11 million in Treasury cash holdings. The principal offsetting changes were
increases of $64 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks,
$18 million in Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and $12 million in
Other F. R. accounts (net).
The increase of $315 million in Reserve Bank credit resulted from increases of $328 million in Float and $44 million in Loans, discounts and advances,
and a decrease of $57 million in U. S. Government securities bought outright.
The decrease in U. S. Government securities bought outright was entirely in bills.
