RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bonk Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
February 27, 1969

H.4.1

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$518 million to $27,064 million. Required reserves declined reflecting the change
in member bank deposits in mid-February. Excess reserves also declined from the
relatively high level of a week ago and were slightly below the average level of
recent weeks.
A decline of about seasonal proportion in currency in circulation and a
reduction in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks provided reserves in the
latest week. An increase in other F. R. accounts (net) absorbed about $200 million
of reserves. Float was about unchanged on weekly average. System Open Market operations absorbed about $350 million of reserves (net), on a weekly average basis.
Member bank borrowings declined $285 million from the relatively high level of a week
earlier, to a level of $758 million. Borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $592
million, compared to the revised figure of $694 million for the previous week.
