FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
October 17, 1968

H.4.1

The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during the
week ending October 16, increased $494 million to $26,949 million.

Required reserves

rose reflecting an increase in private demand deposits in the last week in September.
Excess reserves held by banks rose to a level of $341 million.
A seasonal rise in currency in circulation, absorbing reserves, was offset
by moderate declines in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks, and Foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. .The System provided nearly one-half billion
dollars "of reserves, net, primarily through outright purchases of U. S. Government
securities. Member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased-slightly, and
borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $177 million, compared with the revised
figure of $227 million the week before.
