FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bonk Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release

H.4.1

April 9, 1970
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$130 million in the latest statement week to $27,641 million. Required reserves
increased while both excess reserves and member bank borrowings decreasedo
A considerably greater than seasonal rise in float,due in part to recent
transportation delays, was the major factor supplying reserves in this latest week.
In addition, a significant amount of reserves were provided by a decline in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve banks. These sources of reserves were in good part
offset by a seasonal increase in currency in circulation and by System Open Market
operations which absorbed $265 million in reserves net on a weekly average basis.
These absorptions were through outright sales of Treasury bills, and a reduction
in the level of repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowing exceeded excess
reserves by $394 million compared to the revised figure of $640 million for the
previous week.
