Bank Reserves

and

Condition Statement of F.R. B a n k s F o r immediate release
November 29, 1968.

The average of daily figures of total reserves held by member banks declined $407 million (net) to $26,517 million. Required reserves dropped sharply
by close to seasonal dimensions. For the second week in a row, excess reserves
declined, and reached the relatively low level of $111 million.
Reserves were absorbed in the latest statement week by a decline in float
and a rise in currency in circulation; together these two factors absorbed $582
million reserves. This reduction in reserves was more than offset by a decline in
other FR accounts (net). System Open Market operations absorbed over one-half
billion dollars of reserves on a daily average basis, both through outright purchases
of securities and by matched sale-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings
increased moderately; and, coupled with the further decline in excess reserves,
borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $471 million, compared with the revised
figure of $329 million the week before.
