FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
February 13, 1969

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$194 million (net) to $27,215 million. Required reserves declined for the fourth
consecutive week. These weekly reductions have primarily been associated with the
decline in private deposits held at member banks during the month of January.
Excess reserves also declined moderately from the level of the previous week.
Float remained about unchanged at a relatively high average level during
the week, influenced in part by the effect of bad weather conditions in the Northeastern part of the United States. Both currency in circulation and Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks increased and absorbed over $500 million of reserves.
About one-third of this reserve absorption, on weekly average, was offset through
System Open Market operations, primarily through repurchase transactions.
Member bank borrowings rose somewhat from the previous week to a level of
$797 million, and borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $631 million, compared to
the revised figure of $545 million for the previous week.
