Treasury currency, offset in part by increases of $^45,000,000 in Treasury cash,
¿4,000,000 in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks, and ¿34,000,000 in
ncnne:.iber deposits and otherFederal Reserve accounts. Excess reserves of member
banks on September 2.0 were estimated to be approximately ¿5,280,000,000, an in­
crease of ¿10 ,000,000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings of bills and securities was a net increase
of ¿2,000,000 in United States Government securities, direct and guaranteed; hold­
ings of bonds increased ¿-39,000,000r while holdings of bills declined ¿3 7 ,000,000.
