FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4;I*

For immediate release
October 3, 1968

The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during
the week ended October 2, increased $519 million to $26,349 million. Required
reserves also increased reflecting the usual mid-September rise in deposits during
the tax payment period. (Under revised Regulation D required reserves are based on
average deposits held two weeks earlier.) In the latest week, excess reserves rose
to $349 million, well above the unusually low level of the previous period but not
significantly different from the average of recent weeks.
The major factors absorbing reserves were a seasonal decline in float and
a continuation of the rebuilding of Treasury deposits with F.R. Banks begun the
week before. The System provided reserves by purchasing around one billion dollars
of U. S. Government securities on an outright basis; some reserves were also
provided through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings at the Federal
Reserve Banks increased, on average, in the current statement week to a level of
$540 million; borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $191 million, compared with
the revised figure of $303 million the week before.
