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

H.4.1

For immediate release
April 8, 1971

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$293 million in the latest statement week to $29,686 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
A rise in currency in circulation of $318 million, and increases in
Treasury deposits with the Federal Reserve Banks and other deposits with the Federa
Reserve Banks were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week. A rise in float was the major factor offsetting these reserve drains. In
addition, System Open Market operations supplied $215 million in reserves net, on
a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged $198 million and were
$89 million less than excess reserves, compared to $163 million for the previous
week.
