BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

Preface
In 1943 the Board of Governors published
Banking and Monetary Statistics to make available in one place and on a uniform basis major
series relating to banking, monetary, and other
financial developments. The statistics usually
covered the period from 1914, when the Federal Reserve System was established, through
December 1941.
To bring together for the period since 1941
the most important series in that volume, to
revise the data previously published, and to
present new series, the Board now plans to
publish within the next year or so a series of
pamphlets. Most of these pamphlets will correspond to sections in Banking and Monetary
Statistics, but some may cover new SUbjects.
Most of the data to be included in these pamphlets have already been published in the
Federal Reserve Bulletin, and current figures

for most of the series are published in it each
month. In some instances, however, the type
of presentation in the pamphlets may vary considerably from that in the Bulletin.
This is the first of the new pamphlets. Others
scheduled for early publication include: Section 1, Banks and the Monetary System; Section 14, Gold; and Section 15, International
Finance.
As in Banking and Monetary Statistics, there
is a brief description of the purpose and history
of the data, the source of the figures and the
methods by which they were compiled, and
other facts to guide the reader in using the figures. Much of the information customarily
included in footnotes to tables has been incorporated in the text. Footnotes have been used
primarily to call attention to any lack of comparability of items over the period covered.

influence member bank reserves. 2 This statement-sometimes referred to as the bank reserve equation-combines the "Statement of
Condition of All Federal Reserve Banks" with
such items in the Treasury "Circulation Statement of United States Money" as have a direct
relationship to the supply or absorption of
reserve funds. It is necessary to combine the
two statements because the Treasury has important monetary and currency functions that
have a direct effect on the volume of member
bank reserves.
Figures for the two basic statements for
November 30, 1960, are given in slightly condensed form in Tables A and B at the end of
this text, as are tables showing the methods
by which the two statements are consolidated.
All the items except required and excess reserves and currency and coin counted as reserves are derived from these two statements.
The table on page 2 gives the various items
that make up the combined statement, with
figures as of November 30, 1960.
Table 1 (pages 14-49) shows figures for the
consolidated statement. Parts A, B, and C of
this table provide averages of daily figuresannual, monthly, and weekly, in that order;
Part D provides Wednesday figures. Parts A,
B, and D are similar to tables that appeared
in Banking and Monetary Statistics. Part C
is new and contains weekly averages, which
are available only for the period beginning
with 1951. Current statistics are available in
the Board's weekly release (H.4.1), "Factors
Affecting Bank Reserves and Condition State-

THE PRINCIPAL TASK of the Federal Reserve
System is to foster a flow of credit and money
that will facilitate sustained high levels of employment, orderly economic growth, and a stable dollar. In carrying out this responsibility
the System relies primarily on its ability to increase or decrease the volume and cost of bank
reserves. The statistics described here relate to
factors that supply or absorb reserve funds of
banks that are members of the Federal Reserve
System; they were developed by the Federal
Reserve for use in helping to determine credit
policy.
The availability of reserves to member
banks and the method by which banks obtain
these reserves influence their ability to make
loans or investments and their attitude in the
matter. For example, because of the cost and
liability involved, banks look with less favor
on reserves obtained through their own borrowing than they do on reserves obtained as a
result of other factors in the market, such as
open market operations by the Federal Reserve, the inflow of gold from abroad, or by
Federal Reserve purchases of foreign exchange. 1
To show both the volume and the sources of
member bank reserve funds, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System publishes
a balanced statement each week which shows
the various currency and credit elements that

of many years. References to the basic materials published

Monetary Statistics, published in 1943 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

in the first three items supply reserve funds and
decreases in them absorb reserve funds. On the
other hand, increases in the other items absorb
reserve funds, while decreases supply such
funds.
Each item, however, represents factors that
may result from different influences and that
may affect different forces. Changes in some
of them are caused primarily and directly by
actions of the member banks or the Federal
Reserve Banks. Federal Reserve Banks are
the active element in changes in reserves that
arise from purchases or sales of securities in
the open market. Member banks are an active
element when they expand loans and investments. These actions cause increases in their
deposits and hence in their required reserves,
which have to be met through temporary borrowing at Federal Reserve Banks if the reserves
are not otherwise available. Changes in other
factors are primarily the result of influences not
controlled by either member banks or Reserve
Banks. Gold movements, currency in circulation, Treasury cash, and Treasury deposits with
Reserve Banks belong in the latter category.
Federal Reserve credit is the balance wheel
between these more or less independent factors
and member bank reserves. The extent to
which the Federal Reserve System uses its
credit powers depends on current Federal Reserve policy and on changes in bank reserves
caused by gold movements, currency movements, and other factors.
Effect on reserves. Reserve Bank open market purchases of U.S. Government securities or
of bankers' acceptances supply member banks
with reserve funds and enable them to increase
their reserves or, when they are in debt, to
reduce their borrowings. Conversely, Reserve
Bank sales of Government securities and acceptances absorb member bank reserves. Such
operations may be accompanied by additional
borrowing by member banks from the Reserve
Banks as the member banks seek to obtain,
on a temporary basis, reserve funds needed
to cover required reserves. An increase in gold

During the period Dec. I, 1959-Nov. 23, 1960, member banks were
permitted to count a part, and thereafter to count all, of their holdings
of currency and coin in meeting reserve requirements. This currency
is a part of the total currency in circulation as published in the Treasury's HCirculation Statement of United States Money" and as shown

ment of Federal Reserve Banks" and are published each month in the Federal Reserve Bulletin. Supplementary data on member bank
borrowings, reserves, and reserve requirements
are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
The following paragraphs discuss the relationship of the different items of the consolidated statement and their shifting importance
over long periods and describe briefly the
source and nature of each item, classified by
"Factors Supplying Reserve Funds" and "Factors Absorbing Reserve Funds."
RELATIONSIDP OF ITEMS

The sum of the three items-total Reserve
Bank credit, gold stock, and Treasury currency-equals the sum of the other sevencurrency in circulation, Treasury cash, Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, foreign deposits, other deposits, other Federal
Reserve accounts (net), and member bank reserves with Federal Reserve Banks. Increases

stock or in Treasury currency increases reserve funds, thereby enabling member banks
to increase their reserves or to repay borrowings, while decreases in these items may result
in increased borrowings.
Increases in the items shown in the second
group-currency in circulation; Treasury cash;
Treasury, foreign, and other deposits with Reserve Banks; and other Federal Reserve accounts (net) -reduce reserve funds and hence
may bring pressure on banks to liquidate assets
or to borrow, while decreases in these items
enable member banks to reduce their borrowings or to increase their reserves.
The accompanying table shows changes
from November to December 1960 in the various items of the statement, arranged in accordance with their effect upon member bank
reserves. This arrangement is useful in analyzing the effect of changes that occur over any
period of time.
Various tables in this section include statistics relating to member bank borrowings at
Federal Reserve Banks (included in discounts
and advances), Reserve System open market
operations (reflected in holdings of U.S. Government securities and of acceptances), and
member bank reserves. Table 1 includes figures for all of these items, while Table 2 gives
figures for total, required, and excess reserves,
for borrowings at Reserve Banks, and for
free reserves of member banks, grouped according to their classification for reserve purposes.
Shifting importance of factors. The major
factors affecting the volume of member bank
reserves over the long run are Federal Reserve
credit, the monetary gold stock, and currency
in circulation. During the half century of the
Federal Reserve's existence, the relative importance of these factors has undergone considerable change.
During the first two decades of the System's
operations, borrowings of member banks at
the Reserve Banks were the most significant
element in the statement, and changes in other
factors were usually reflected in changes in

member bank borrowings. Sources of member bank reserve funds began to shift in 1932.
The change was reflected first in increased
System purchases of Government securities,
and later in the sharp increase in gold stock.
Soon after the outbreak of World War II,
however, the gold inflow ceased, and the U.S.
gold stock began to decline. At the same time
currency in circulation began to rise rapidly.
To counteract the drain on reserves caused
by these two factors and to help maintain a
stable credit market during the war period, the
Federal Reserve System bought large quantities
of U.S. Government securities.
Federal Reserve authorities carried over

3

into the postwar period a policy of supporting
prices of Government securities at close to par,
thus maintaining a high degree of stability in
yields accompanied by continuing credit and
monetary ease. In this situation Federal Reserve credit was freely available at the call
of the market, and all holders of Government
securities were able readily to adjust their
operating positions through transactions in
Government securities. Because of their easy
reserve positions, member banks continued
during the early postwar period to have little
need for borrowing at the Reserve Banks.
There was growing recognition in this period
that Federal Reserve support of Government
securities prices at arbitrary levels was incompatible with effective Federal Reserve regulation of the volume of bank reserves. In March
1951 the Treasury and the Federal Reserve
agreed to discontinue the policy. The major
objective of the "accord" was to minimize the
creation of reserve funds at the initiative of
banks and other investors through sales of
Government securities that the Federal Reserve had to purchase in order to maintain
prices.
After a brief period of adjustment, Federal
Reserve operations were readapted to the flexible use of its general methods of influencing
bank reserve positions in accordance with seasonal, cyclical, and growth needs of the economy. Since then Federal Reserve credit has
continued to be the major factor supplying
reserves to member banks, but such credit
has reflected discount operations as well as
open market operations. The reserve position
of banks has also been affected by changes in
reserve requirements. Growth in currency in
circulation was a major factor absorbing reserves throughout the period to the end of
1960, and an outflow of gold, particularly after
early 1958, also absorbed reserves.
Since World War II Federal Reserve float
has become a more prominent factor affecting
member bank reserves. Float is under the
technical control of the Federal Reserve Sys-




tem, but check collection practices of member
banks and the cycle of business payments for
the most part determine its actual amount.
Float is an important factor mainly in the
short run; it varies from week to week but
changes little on balance over an extended
period.
During the period from mid-1917 through
late 1959, all member bank reserves were
maintained on deposit at Federal Reserve
Banks. By the end of 1960, member banks
were permitted to count all their currency and
coin as reserves. Thus, while the preponderant amount of reserves are still held at
Federal Reserve Banks, some reserves are also
kept as vault cash. 3
FACTORS SUPPLYING RESERVE FUNDS

Reserve Bank credit. The total volume of
Reserve Bank credit outstanding represents
principally the loans and investments of the
Federal Reserve Banks. The various types of
Reserve Bank credit in use on November 30,
1960, are shown in Table C, page 13, and
are discussed below. Additional information
and statistics on the various types of Federal
Reserve credit appear in the text and tables
of Section 9 of Banking and Monetary Statistics.
U. S. Government securities. One of the
chief ways in which the Federal Reserve affects
member bank reserve positions is by purchasing and selling Government securities in the
open market. Since 1936, purchases and sales
have been made by the manager of the System's open market account under instruction
of the Federal Open Market Committee and
have been effected through the facilities of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Each
Federal Reserve Bank participates in the account in accordance with the ratio of its total
assets to the total for all the Reserve Banks

circulation and member bank holdings of currency as reserves,

combined. 4 Issues may be purchased outright
or under a repurchase agreement.
During most of the 1920's and until 1945,
Federal Reserve Banks were authorized to
buy U. S. Government securities under repurchase agreement, but they made only limited
use of the authority. In fact, they made no
purchases under it after 1935, and the authority was rescinded effective March 1, 1945.
Late in 1947 the Reserve Banks were again
authorized by the Federal Open Market Committee to buy U. S. Government securities
under repurchase agreement; the first transactions occurred in June 1949. Tables I-B,
I-C, and I-D show a breakdown of Government security holdings into those bought outright and those held under repurchase agreement. Only nonbank dealers in U. S. Government securities can enter into repurchase
agreements, and the selling dealer agrees to repurchase the securities in 15 days or less. As
with outright purchases, acquisitions by Reserve Banks under these agreements result in
increases in member bank reserves, although
the funds are put out on a temporary basis.
Such purchases lessen the needs of member
banks to borrow, or they reduce the volume
of outright purchases of securities that the
Federal Reserve Banks would need to make
to supply reserves.
Beginning in 1942, to encourage bank purchases of short-term Government securities,
the Federal Open Market Committee directed
the Reserve Banks to buy at a stated rate all
Treasury bills offered and to give the seller,
if he so desired, an option to repurchase at
the same rate a like amount of bills of the
same maturity. The authority for these transactions, known as repurchase options, was
terminated in 1947.
Discounts and advances represent principally member bank borrowings to cover tem-

porary reserve deficiencies. Most of these
borrowings are advances backed by U. S. Government securities as collateral.
Some member banks also rediscount commercial paper for this purpose, but this practice, so prominent before 1933, has been used
rarely since then. Discounts and advances also
include loans on gold to foreign monetary
authorities, discounts for the Federal intermediate credit banks, and advances to individuals, partnerships, and corporations, including nonmember banks.
During the life of the industrial loan program, these loans appeared in various places
in the weekly statement: first, as a part of
"other Reserve Bank credit"; beginning in November 1934, as a separate item of Reserve
Bank credit; and after early 1944, as a part
of other loans, discounts, and advances. Industrial loans represented advances to provide
working capital to industrial and commercial
concerns in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13b of the Federal Reserve Act, enacted June 19, 1934. The amounts of these
loans outstanding were relatively small and are
not shown separately in the tables. The program was discontinued on August 21, 1959,
after Section 13b was repealed.
Acceptances, which are shown separately
in Table I-A on page 14, represent bankers'
acceptances purchased by the Federal Reserve
Banks from dealers or banks, either outright
or under repurchase agreement, and acceptances payable in foreign currencies purchased
from foreign central banks and guaranteed by
them. Until March 30, 1955, Reserve Banks
generally purchased all acceptances of satisfactory quality offered, at the buying rate
established by the Banks. The rate was so established in relation to market rates as to
encourage or discourage offerings.
Since that date, however, the Federal Reserve Banks have purchased bankers' acceptances at market rates of discount, as authorized
by the Federal Open Market Committee.
Acquisitions under repurchase agreement have

New York in recent years has held all Government securities
bought under repurchase agreement as well as all special
short-term Treasury certificates of indebtedness.

years amounts "due from" foreign banks hav{
been the only component.
Gold stock. Gold (except that held under
earmark for foreign account or for international institutions) has been one of the most
important factors supplying or absorbing reserves of member banks over extended periods
of time. At present the monetary gold stock
represents only gold held by the U. S. Treasury. Before January 30, 1934, it also included
gold held by the Federal Reserve Banks and
gold coin in circulation in the United States;
the latter figure was estimated. On January 30,
1934, title to all gold held by Federal Reserve
Banks was transferred to the U. S. Government. Since then the Reserve Banks have held
only gold certificates or gold certificate credits
on the books of the Treasury, against both of
which the Treasury holds gold. Most of the
gold stock liability is now represented by gold
certificate reserves of the Federal Reserve
Banks, but varying amounts of monetized gold
have been held unpledged by the Treasury and
are included in Treasury cash. The Exchange
Stabilization Fund of the Secretary of the Treasury customarily holds small amounts of gold
not reported as part of the monetary gold
stock. Purchases of gold from and sales to
foreign banks and international institutions are
usually effected through this Fund. Gold is
shifted between this Fund and the Treasury
gold stock. These shifts usually affect Reserve Banks' gold certificate credits. A discussion of other gold statistics appears in Section 14 of Banking and Monetary Statistics.
Treasury curreucy outstaudiug. Changes in
Treasury currency outstanding have the same
effect on bank reserve positions as changes in
the gold stock. Treasury currency represents
the stock of money for which the Treasury is
primarily responsible. This item comprises
standard silver dollars, silver bullion against
the pledge of which silver certificates and
Treasury notes of 1890 are outstanding, subsidiary silver, minor coin, United States notes,
and those national bank notes and Federal Re-

been on the same terms and rates established
for similar contracts involving U. ,So Government securities.
Federal Reserve Bank float. Banks forwarding checks to a Reserve Bank for collection are given credit in their reserve accounts
according to a time schedule. Federal Reserve
float arises when the date of the actual collection and the date of the reserve credit differ.
Float is usually positive because the actual
collection often takes longer than the official
schedule. Before September 1, 1939, however, it was sometimes negative because collections were faster than the schedule in effect at
that time, which allowed eight days for collection in some instances.
The official collection schedule has been
reduced from time to time over the years as
transportation facilities have improved. On
September 1, 1939, the System adopted a
schedule having a maximum deferment of
three business days. This remained in effect
until January 12, 1951, when the maximum
deferment of reserve credit was reduced to two
business days. With these changes in the schedules and with the increasing volume of checks
handled, there have been large increases in the
volume of float. In recent years the annual
average has often exceeded $1 billion.
Float characteristically shows wide seasonal
and week-to-week variations, depending on
the volume of checks handled. Within a period
of three weeks the daily average amount outstanding may vary by as much as $500 million
or more, and within a year it may vary by as
much as $1 billion. Thus it has large temporary effects on the availability of reserves.
All other Reserve Bank credit is included in
total Reserve Bank credit but is no longer
shown in the weekly statement because its
principal component-flo at-is shown separately. It includes funds held on deposit in
foreign banks and any other security holdings,
such as Federal intermediate credit bank debentures and municipal warrants. In recent




6

indicated earlier, currency in circulation grew
at a rapid rate during World War II, and it
has continued to expand at a moderate rate
since then. This growth has absorbed a substantial amount of bank reserves over the long
term. In addition, currency in circulation
shows wide seasonal swings, and these have
an important influence on short-term changes
in member bank reserves and borrowings.
As indicated above, the figures for currency
in circulation as reported on the Treasury
statement include currency held by banks as
well as that held by the nonbank public. Beginning with November 24, 1960, member banks
were permitted to count as reserves all their
holdings of currency and coin. Since that date,
therefore, changes in currency in circulation
that reflect changes in member bank vault
cash do not, strictly speaking, affect the total
reserves of member banks. In analyzing the
factors that supply or absorb member bank reserve funds, it would be reasonable to use a
currency figure that is net of member bank
vault cash and to use total reserves, including vault cash, in the condition statement
instead of only member bank balances at the
Reserve Banks. For consistency with the past,
however, as well as because the data for vault
cash are not available promptly, it is more
convenient to continue to use total currency
and member bank balances, supplemented by
estimates of vault cash.
Treasury cash holdings and Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Treasury
cash holdings (except for the gold reserve
against U. S. notes) and Treasury deposits with
Reserve Banks represent funds that the Treasury has at its disposal without drawing on its
balances with depositary banks. When the
Treasury builds up its cash or its deposit balances with the Reserve Banks, this has the
effect of reducing bank reserves; when the
Treasury spends these funds, member bank reserve balances increase.
Cash. Treasury cash holdings include gold
bullion, standard silver dollars, silver bullion,

serve Bank notes for the retirement of which
funds have been deposited with the Treasurer
of the United States. Since March 1, 1935, all
Federal Reserve Bank notes outstanding have
been in this category.
National bank notes, formerly issued by
national banks upon pledge of Government
bonds, were liabilities of issuing banks until
lawful money was deposited with the Treasury
for their retirement. Since August 1, 1935,
there have been no bonds bearing the circulation privilege, and liability for all national bank
notes has rested with the Treasury. Both
Federal Reserve Bank notes and national bank
notes are being retired as they are returned
to the Treasury.
The components of Treasury currency outstanding on November 30, 1960, are shown
in Table D, page 13. The figures in that
table include amounts held in the Treasury
and by the Federal Reserve Banks as well as
in circulation.
FACTORS ABSORBING RESERVE FUNDS

Currency in circulation. Currency in circulation includes all U. S. money outside of
the Federal Reserve Banks and the Treasury,
with two exceptions: (1) Gold coin and silver coin known to have been exported were
always excluded. And (2) beginning with
January 31, 1934, all gold coin outstanding
was excluded. 5 To state it another way, figures for currency in circulation include currency held by the public, vault cash held by
banks, and any unreported U. S. money carried or shipped abroad. The components of
currency in circulation are shown in the last
column of Table B, page 13.
Changes in currency in circulation reflect the
demands of the public for pocket and till
money, principally for current payments. As
G No correction was made in the currency in circulation
figures for the discontinuance of circulating gold certificates;
the reasons for eliminating figures for gold coin are not applicable to gold certificates.

subsidiary silver and minor coin, and currency
held in the Treasury, except (1) gold held
against gold certificates and gold certificate
credits, (2) silver held against silver certificates and Treasury notes of 1890, and (3)
before January 30, 1934, gold held by Federal Reserve Banks. The various components
are shown in Table E, page 13.
Treasury cash was increased by $2.8 billion
after the close of business on January 31,
1934, as a result of the reduction in the gold
content of the dollar. Because the value of the
gold stock was increased correspondingly, this
transaction in and of itself had no effect on
member bank reserves. 6 Two billion dollars
of the increment was set aside in a stabilization fund, of which $1.8 billion was inactive.
From December 24, 1936, until early in
1938 the Treasury followed the policy of not
issuing gold certificates against acquisitions of
gold. This inactive gold was counted as part
of Treasury cash, which increased as the gold
stock increased, with the result that gold acquisitions had no effect on bank reserves.
In the course of time, however, the inactive
part of the gold has been used. Some of it has
been used as a basis for gold certificate credits
issued to the Federal Reserve Banks and
thus has affected the supply of bank reserves.
The Treasury has also used some of it for
other purposes such as for retirement of national bank notes. 7 The inactive portion of the
Exchange Stabilization Fund was used for payment of the U. S. subscription to the International Monetary Fund. Such uses have the
effect of adding to bank reserves, but some of
these effects have been offset by other factors.

Deposits. Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks represent the general account
of the U. S. Treasurer with the Reserve Banks.
(The account maintained by the Treasury at
the Federal Reserve Banks for the Exchange
Stabilization Fund is included in "other" deposits with Reserve Banks.) The Treasury
makes payment for Government purchases of
goods and services out of this account. Most
Treasury balances are kept in accounts at
commercial banks, which are maintained for
receiving taxes and the proceeds of security
sales. The Treasury transfers funds from these
accounts to the Federal Reserve in accordance
with its schedule of payments.
Treasury deposits at the Federal Reserve
may fluctuate widely over short periods, but
for the most part their movements are rather
restricted and they do not exert a long-continued influence on bank reserves in either
direction. Since July 28, 1955, the Treasury
has followed a practice of making special calls
on, or redeposits in, certain large bank depositaries without advance notice to reduce
to a minimum the fluctuations in its deposit
balances at the Reserve Banks.
The gold stock, Treasury currency outstanding, currency in circulation, and Treasury
cash holdings and Treasury deposits are so
interrelated that important changes often take
place among these items without affecting
member bank reserves in any way. For example, the Treasury may hold gold or silver representing unused monetized bullion "balances"
in Treasury cash; or it may issue certificates
against these balances and deposit the certificates with the Reserve Banks, thus decreasing
Treasury cash and increasing Treasury deposits at the Reserve Banks. Member bank
reserves are not affected until the Treasury
draws upon these deposits. Or there may be
shifts between the Treasury accounts and the
Exchange Stabilization Fund, with no effect
on reserves. Issuance of gold and silver certificates eventually causes bank reserves to increase while their retirement causes reserves

6 The increment arising from U. S. gold coin turned in by
the public after January 31, 1934, has been added to both
Treasury cash and to gold stock at the time of receipt. The
increment from this source to the end of 1960 totaled $13.5
million and of that total $8.8 million had not been assigned
for any specific purpose.
7 About $640 million of the increment on gold was set aside
in 1935 to retire national bank notes outstanding, after bonds
that could be used as collateral for such notes by national
banks had been redeemed and national banks had deposited
with the Treasury the funds to retire all notes outstanding.
Those operations permitted retirement of notes and bonds without reduction in member bank reserves or in the Treasury's
working balance.

of these, unless offset by other changes, reduce
member bank reserves. The computation of
this figure as of November 30, 1960, is shown
in Table F, page 13.
The last item in
Member bank reserves.
the consolidated statement is member bank reserves with Federal Reserve Banks. Between
mid-1917 and December 1959 member banks
had to satisfy legal reserve requirements entirely in balances held at Reserve Banks. Until
June 21, 1917, however, member banks were
allowed also to count a part of their cash in
vault and a part of their deposits with other
banks as legal reserves. Beginning December 1, 1959, banks were again authorized to
count part of their cash in vault as legal reserves, and after November 23, 1960, this
privilege was extended to include all vault
cash.
Permission to count holdings of currency
and coin in meeting reserve requirements has
made it possible for member banks to maintain somewhat smaller reserve balances with
Federal Reserve Banks. In considering whether
member banks reserves are adequate or excessive in relation to credit policy, the Federal
Reserve must now consider the total of the two
forms of reserves. For purposes of the consolidated statement of factors affecting reserves,
the reserve item in the balance sheet is limited to member bank balances with the Reserve
Banks, but the figures for their vault cash show
up indirectly as a part of the currency in circulation figures (see page 7). And an estimate for vault cash is added to reserve balances
in order to obtain an estimate for total reserves
held.
Changes in reserve requirements of member
banks, which are discussed below, are one of
the three major instruments available to the
Federal Reserve for carrying out Federal Reserve policy. While changes in these requirements do not alter the total of member bank
reserves, they do change the amount of deposits that member banks can legally maintain on
a given amount of reserves, and hence the

to decrease, but at various stages in the process
reserves may not be affected. Reserves are,
of course, affected when silver certificates
move into circulation or are returned to Federal Reserve Banks for credit.
Foreign deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks. At the close of 1960 foreign deposits
with the Reserve Banks represented the accounts of 89 foreign central banks and governments, including the Bank for International
Settlements. Increases in these balances generally cause a decline in member bank reserves.
Averages of daily figures for foreign deposits
are not readily available before 1951; for
statistical purposes these deposits were included in "nonmember deposits" in Banking
and Monetary Statistics.
Other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
As its name implies, the category "other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks" represents all
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks other
than member bank reserves, the general account of the U. S. Treasurer, and deposits of
foreign entities. Increases in the aggregate of
this grouping reduce member bank reserves
unless offset by special circumstances involving
Treasury transactions or those of foreign entities. Other deposits include-in the order
of their average size-the Exchange Stabilization Fund's working cash balance, deposits of
the International Monetary Fund and other
international organizations, nonmember bank
clearing accounts, reserve deposits required
under Regulation K of corporations licensed to
do foreign banking or financing, deposits of
various U. S. Government departments and
agencies, and occasionally collected funds on
Reserve Bank books not yet distributed to
other Reserve Banks.
Other Federal Reserve accounts (net).
This item is derived from the condition statement of the Federal Reserve Banks by adding
"capital paid in," "surplus," "other capital accounts," and "other liabilities" of the Reserve
Banks, and subtracting the sum of "bank premises" and "other assets." Increases in the net

amount of loans and investments that a member bank may make on that volume of reserves.
Because of the administrative and technical
problems involved, however, this instrument is
used only when large-scale changes in required
reserves are desired.
While required reserves are indicative of
the loans and investments already made by
member banks and of the deposits thus created,
the excess reserves of these banks provide a
basis for expansion of their loans and investments without borrowing from the Federal
Reserve Banks. The possible expansion in
loans and investments for the banking system
as a whole is several times the amount of
excess reserves. When a bank increases its
loans and investments, deposits increase by a
similar amount, unless there are offsetting influences-such as the public's holding a part
of the loan funds in currency-and the additional deposits cause an increase in required
reserves by a fractional amount of the deposit
increase. Then excess reserves decline by a
corresponding amount. This process may continue until the increase in required reserves
absorbs all the excess reserves.
Before 1931, member banks seldom held
excess reserves, and their aggregate reserve
balances corresponded closely to required reserves. When they lost reserves, or when required reserves increased because of a growth
in deposits resulting from bank credit expansion, member banks usually borrowed from
Federal Reserve Banks. During the middle
and late 1930's and the early part of World
War II, however, member banks were largely
out of debt and they had plenty of excess
reserves. During and after World War II the
greater part of these excess reserves were absorbed into required reserves as credit expanded, demand for currency increased, and
reserve requirements were raised as permitted
by law. In recent years excess reserves again
have constituted a relatively small proportion
of total reserves, but the proportion has been
larger than it was in the 1920's.




Required reserves. Amendments to the
Federal Reserve Act that became effective
June 21, 1917, stipulated the reserve percentages for each reserve classification of member banks, and until 1933 the Federal Reserve
had no authority to change these requirements.
Legislation enacted in 1933 authorized the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to change member bank reserve requirements when an emergency existed, and provisions of the Banking Act of 1935 authorized
changes in requirements to prevent injurious
credit expansion or contraction. No further
changes in the laws affecting reserve requirements were made until 1959.
Pursuant to the amendments to the Federal
Reserve Act passed in 1959, New York and
Chicago will be reclassified as reserve cities
effective July 28, 1962. As of the same date
the authority of the Board of Governors to
classify or reclassify cities as central reserve
cities will be terminated. 8 The same amendments set a range of 10-22 per cent for the
reserve requirements of reserve city banks, and
also of central reserve city banks, but it continued the 7-14 per cent range for country banks.
The accompanying table shows for the three
reserve classifications of member banks the
minimum and maximum levels of reserve requirements as permitted by law and the period
when each was in effect. In the period since
1935, the Board of Governors has changed
reserve requirements a number of times, as
Table 3 on page 62 shows.
Under Board regulation, reserves held must
average enough over certain designated periods
to cover the average requirements. Both the
length of the period and the terminal dates
have been changed several times over the
years.
At first each Reserve Bank fixed the reserve
computation periods for its own member
banks, but since 1919 more uniform arrange8 Table 4 lists the cities now classified as central reserve
cities and reserve cities, and shows the changes made in the
list from time to time.

RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

classification for reserve purposes. Because
daily figures were not reported by all classes
of banks and because of differences in length
of reporting periods and in their terminal
dates, already mentioned, the monthly averages are only approximate through 1941. Beginning with September 1931, daily requirements were estimated on the basis of daily
reports of deposits from central reserve city
member banks in New York City, of weekly
reports from certain banks in other leading
cities, and of semimonthly and biweekly reports from other member banks. Since November 1937, central reserve city banks in
Chicago have also reported their estimated
requirements daily.
By early 1942 uniform reporting periods
had been established, and since then the averages for required reserves have been computed
from the weekly, biweekly, and semimonthly
figures of member banks as reported to the
Reserve Banks. Beginning with December 31,
1959, country banks have reported their deposits weekly, but the reserve computations
for these banks are made on a biweekly basis.
Except for some city banks that report daily,
the reserve reports for reserve city and country
banks are available with a lag of one week.
Hence current figures for required reserves are
estimated and are often revised.
Excess reserves. Excess reserves for the
period before December 1959 are the difference between reserve balances of member
banks with Federal Reserve Banks and their
required reserves. Since then excess reserves
represent the difference between required reserves and the sum of reserve balances with
Reserve Banks and the amount of vault cash
allowed as reserves. Before 1929, figures for
excess reserves are available only for member
bank call report dates. Approximate monthly
averages of daily figures are available for the
period January 1929-August 1931. Since then
daily estimates have been computed for usc
until final figures became available.

ments have been in effect. For banks in central
reserve and reserve cities, required reserves have
been computed on a weekly basis since October 1, 1919, except for the period January 1,
1928-February 28, 1942, when a semiweekly
basis was used for member banks located in
Federal Reserve Bank and branch cities and in
such other reserve cities as the Board designated. For country banks, required reserves
were computed on a semimonthly basis during
the period October 1, 1919-December 15,
1959, except that in two Federal Reserve districts they were computed on a weekly basis
until 1923. Beginning with December 31, 1959,
required reserves for country banks have been
computed on a biweekly basis. 9
The weekly computation period for central
reserve and reserve city banks ended on Fridays for the period February 28, 1942-June 21,
1946, on Thursdays, June 22, 1946-February
23, 1949, and on Wednesdays, beginning with
February 24, 1949. The computation period
for country banks ended on the 15th and the
last day of the month through December 15,
1959; beginning with the period ending January 13, 1960, the biweekly computation period has ended on Wednesdays.
Monthly averages for required reserves for
1929-60 are shown in Table 2, page 50, for
member banks grouped according to their

Free reserves. Free reserves are the difference between the excess reserves of member
banks and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks. The term "net free reserves" is used to refer to a situation in which
excess reserves are larger than borrowings,
while the term "net borrowed reserves" is
used to refer to a situation in which borrowings
are larger than excess reserves.

that certain items appearing in the two statements are not included in the analysis; these
items are offsetting accounts and are not of
direct significance in relation to reserves. Daily
figures are available for the principal assets
and liabilities of Federal Reserve Banks. For
the other items in the analysis, approximate
daily figures are estimated, except for the last
day of the month, for which the circulation
statement of U. S. money is available. For
example, figures for the stock of money, as
shown in the first column of the most recent
circulation statement, are adjusted daily for
current mintings, as reported by the Bureau
of the Mint; figures on gold stock and money
held in the Treasury are derived from the
"Daily Statement of the United States Treasury."

no branches in the downtown area of Manhattan, should be subject
to the reserve requirements of banks in reserve cities; and member
banks located in Brooklyn outside the downtown area or in the other
boroughs (Bronx, Richmond, and Queens), and having no branches
in Manhattan or the downtown area of Brooklyn, should be subject
to the reserve requirements applicable to member banks located
outside of central reserve and reserve cities.
In February 1950 the Board decided that any member bank located
outside the downtown business and financial district of Brooklyn, and
having no branch in such downtown district or in the Borough of
Manhattan, should be subject to the reserve requirements applicable
to member banks located outside of central reserve and reserve cities.
In October 1950 the Board further decided that a member bank having
its head office anywhere in either Brooklyn or the Bronx, and having
no branch in the Borough of Manhattan, should be subject to the
reserve requirements applicable to member banks located outside of
central reserve and reserve cities.
Under the same provision of law, the Board has authorized a number of banks in outlying sections of the city of Chicago to carry the
same reserves as banks in reserve cities, and a number of banks in
reserve cities to carry the same reserves as country banks.
Since passage of the July 28,1959 amendment to Section 19 of the
Federal Reserve Act, a number of banks in both central reserve and
reserve cities have been authorized to carry the same reserves as banks
located outside central reserve and reserve cities on the basis of the
character of business transacted by the member bank.
2 South Omaha was annexed on June 21, 1915.
3 Miami was designated a reserve city on May 15, 1957 to become
effective May 15. 1958.

Noles to table all precedillg page.
I Up to December 1917 the Borough of Brooklyn (of New York
City) was classified as a reserve city, and member banks in the boroughs of Queens and Richmond were classified as country banks
(banks not located in central reserve or reserve cities). In December
1917 the Comptroller of the Currency notified national banks in these
boroughs that under the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act member banks located in any of the boroughs of the City of New York were
subject to the reserve requirements applicable to central reserve city
banks.
After passage of the Sept. 26,1918 amendment to Section 19 of the
Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Board decided that member
banks in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Bronx should be subject to
the reserve requirements applicable to reserve city banks and those
in the boroughs of Queens and Richmond to the reserve requirements
applicable to country banks. However, if any of such banks had a
branch in the Borough of Manhattan, it was subject to the reserve
requirements applicable to central reserve city banks; and if any bank
in the boroughs of Queens and Richmond had a branch in the boroughs of Brooklyn or Bronx (but not in Manhattan), it was subject
to the reserve requirements applicable to reserve city banks.
In September 1949 the Board decided that New York City member
banks located or having branches in the downtown area of the Borough of Manhattan should be subject to the full reserve required of
nlember banks in central reserve cities; member banks located or
having branches in the Borough of Manhattan outside the downtown
area, or in the downtown area of the Borough of Brooklyn, and having
