FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
March 13, 1969

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$220 million (net) to $26,730 million. Required reserves declined reflecting reductions in member bank demand deposits in late February. Excess reserves rose
moderately but remained slightly below the average level of recent weeks.
i

A decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks provided a
moderate amount of reserves in the latest statement week. A seasonal decline in
float and a somewhat greater than seasonal rise in currency in circulation were the
major factors absorbing reserves. System Open Market operations absorbed about $100
million of reserves on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings rose $138
million, on weekly average, to a level slightly above the average of recent weeks.
Borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $666 million, compared to the revised figure
of $567 million for the previous week.
