The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during the

currency and coin of member banks decreased $161 million and their reserve balances
at the Federal Reserve Banks increased $181 million. Estimated required reserves
decreased $28 million; and estimated excess reserves increased $48 million to $215
million. Member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks exceeded excess
reserves by $239 million, compared with the revised figure of $207 million the
week before.
The principal changes supplying average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks were increases of $312 million in U. S. Government securities bought
outright, and $80 million in member bank borrowings, and a decrease of $146 million
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. The principal offsetting changes
were a decrease of $45 million in Federal Reserve float, and increases of $234
million in currency in circulation, and $50 million in "Other" F. R. accounts (net).
Total Reserve Bank credit increased $346 million.
As of Wednesday, September 4, 1968, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $178 million higher than a week earlier, and member bank
borrowings were $92 million lower. Outright holdings of bills, notes, and bonds
