Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks F o r immediate release
November 21, 1968

The average of daily figures of total reserves held by member banks declined $166 million to $26,885 million. Required reserves increased $174 million,
somewhat more than seasonal. Excess reserves declined $340 million as banks used
surplus reserves accumulated in the previous week to meet reserve needs.
In the latest statement week, reserves were provided by a sharp mid-month
rise in float and a substantial decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks. Currency in circulation and other F. R. accounts (net), increased, absorbing a moderate amount of reserves, while other factors remained about unchanged.
System Open Market operations absorbed $262 million reserves (net) on weekly
average, primarily through matched sale-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings declined $164 million to $511 million; and with excess reserves declining
sharply,.borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $368 million, compared with the
revised figure of $192 million the week before.
