BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
H.4,1

(For Immediate Release)

September 21, 1950

CONDITION OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
During the week ended September 20 member bank reserve balances decreased
$566 million. Reductions in member bank reserves resulted from decreases of
$496 million in Reserve Bank credit and $51 million in gold stock, and increases
of $87 million in nonmember deposits and other Federal Reserve accounts and
$6 million in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, offset in part by
decreases of $70 million in money in circulation and $4 million in Treasury cash
holdings. Excess reserves of member banks on September 20 were estimated to be
approximately $390 million.
Holdings of loans, discounts and advances decreased $20 million and of
United States Government securities $530 million, the latter change reflecting
decreases of $4,502 million in bonds, $704 million in certificates and $564
million in bills, and an increase of $5,232 million in notes.
Changes in member bank reserve balances and related items during the
week and the year ended September 20, 1950, were as follows:
