FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
October 10, 1968

H.4.Y

The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during
the week ended October 9, increased $67 million to $26,437 million.

Required

reserves continued to rise, primarily reflecting the increase, on weekly average,
in U. S. Government demand deposits in the week following theraid-Septembertax
payment.

Excess reserves declined to a level of $157 million.
A seasonal rise in currency, absorbing reserves, was about offset by a

moderate rise in float and a decline in Treasury deposits with F. R. Banks. The
System provided reserves, on balance, by adding to its holdings of U. S. Government
securities bought outright. Member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks
declined moderately, and borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $245 million,
compared with the revised figure of $170 million, the week before.
