FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
November 7, 1968
The average of daily figures of total reserves held by member banks during
the week ending November 6 declined (net) $379 million to $26,317 million.
reserves declined $204 million.

Required

Excess reserves were reduced $175 million to a

level of $152 million, after having risen the previous week when banks accumulated
a sizeable reserve surplus that was eligible to be carried forward into the latest
statement week.
The major factors absorbing reserves in the latest week were a moderate
decline in float and a large seasonal increase in currency in circulation. On
balance, System Open Market operations had little net effect on reserves during the
week. Member bank borrowing declined to a level of $392 million, and borrowings
exceeded excess reserves by $240 million compared with the revised figure of $170
million the week before.
