that is, it is the lesser of the two amounts. Gross purchases less 2-way transactions equals net purchases of net buying banks. Similarly, gross sales less
2-way transactions equals net sales of net selling banks.

repurchase agreements (purchases of securities from dealers subject to redale)

3/

Federal funds borrowed, net funds acquired from each dealer by clearing banks,
