For immediate release
October 15, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$381 million in the latest week to $28,396 million. Excess reserves declined
significantly following a sharp rise in the previous week. Required reserves were
unchanged from the level of the past week while borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
increased.
A modest seasonal rise in float was the major source of reserves in the
latest statement week. Absorbing reserves were a seasonal rise in currency in
circulation and an increase in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In
addition, System Open Market operations absorbed $57 million in reserves net, on
a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings increased by a modest amount and
exceeded reserves by $411 million. In the previous week member bank borrowings
were $27 million less than excess reserves.
