The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during the
week ended February 14, 1968 decreased a net of $442 million to $25,511 million.
Estimated currency and coin of member banks increased $51 million and their reserve
balances at the Federal Reserve Banks decreased $493 million. Estimated required
reserves decreased $523 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $81 million
to $459 million. Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal
Reserve Banks by $75 million compared with the revised figure of $137 million the
week before.
The principal changes reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were decreases of $198 million in Federal Reserve float, $110 million
in U. S. Government securities bought outright, and $72 million in Gold Stock, and
increases of $165 million in currency in circulation, and $159 million in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting change was an increase of $25 million in acceptances held under repurchase agreements, and a decrease
