RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks

H.4.1

For immediate release
October 24, 1968

The average of daily figures of total reserves held by banks during the
week ending October 23, declined $516 million to $26,444 million. Required reserves
declined moderately reflecting a reduction in deposits in early October. Excess
reserves held by banks declined sharply to a small negative level, as sizable
reserve surpluses from the previous statement week were eligible to be carried
forward to meet this weekfs requirements.
Reserves were provided through a seasonal increase in float and a decline
in currency in circulation. In addition, other F. R. accounts (net) declined,
reflecting the monthly interest payment on F. R. notes, and provided some additional
reserves. The System absorbed $254 million (net) of reserves through open market
operations primarily through outright purchases of U. S. Government securities.
Member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined $183 million, and borrowings
exceeded excess reserves by $368 million, compared with the revised figure of
$166 million the week before.
