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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 27, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks
decreased $368 million in the latest week to $28,161 million. Excess reserves
increased while required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve
Banks both declined.
Several factors were sources of sizeable reserve gains in this latest
statement week. A greater than seasonal decline in currency in circulation
provided $215 million in reserves. Declines both in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks and in other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks supplied
additional reserves. These reserve increases were in part offset by declines
in float and in other Federal Reserve assets. In addition, System Open Market
operations absorbed $322 million in reserves net, on a weekly average basis.
Member bank borrowings remained at about the same level as in the past week and
exceeded excess reserves by $535 million compared to the revised figure of
$598 million for the previous week.
