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: Increase or decrease since Sept. 20, 1950 Sept. 13, 1950 Sept. 21, 1949 (In millions of dollars) U.
