Week ending: October 22, 1969

am 21 m
Monetary magnitudes continue to indicate con­
siderable restraint.
Since early June the money stock
has been about unchanged.
Earlier in the year money
increased at a 4.4 per cent rate, compared with a 7 per
cent increase in 1968 (page 5).

foreign bank, the reserve requirement is 10 per cent,
unless the borrowings amount to less than 4 per cent
of the bank's average deposits subject to reserve
requirements, in which case the reserve requirement
on the borrowings is 3 per cent.

The income velocity of money (the annual rate
of turnover of the money stock with respect to income)
increased more sharply from the second to the third
quarter of 1969 than it had in any other quarter
since 1966, when for a period of nine months, from
April to January 1967, there was no growth in the
money stock (page 6). Velocity increased from 4.61
in the fourth quarter of 1968 to 4.66 in the second
quarter of 1969 to 4.73 in the third quarter.

As a result of these new reserve requirements,
in the week ending October 22 required reserves of member
banks averaged about $405 million higher than tne
amount required on the basis of time and demand deposits.
Total meiDer bank reserves, which are adjusted for
changes in reserve requirements and for seasonal factors
and include excess reserves, were $27.1 billion. These
reserves have declined at an 8.8 per cent annual rate
since early June after remaining about unchanged on
balance during the first half of the year (page 3).

Changes in Federal Reserve Regulations
M and D require member banks to hold reserves behind
some borrowing and lending involving their foreign
branches or other foreign banks beginning the week
ending October 22. Activities subject to the new
requirements are:
(1) borrowing between a member
bank and its foreign branch; (2) lending by a foreign
branch of a member bank to a U.S. resident; and
(3) borrowing by a member bank from a foreign bank.
In the first two cases the reserve requirement
is 10 per cent of borrowing or lending in excess
of the level at that bank in a specified period
last spring.
In the case of borrowing from a

banker's acceptances outstanding increased
$87 million in September to $5.2 billion.
Since last
December these acceptances have increased about $800
million, compared with about a $100 million increase
in the previous year. The volume of both bankers'
acceptances and commercial paper have increased
rapidly since last December.
In contrast, outstanding
large negotiable certificates of deposit at large
commercial banks are less than one half their December
level, due to Regulation Q ceilings which prevent banks
from offering competitive returns (page 8).
