FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release

H.4.1

August 5, 1971
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
increased $336 million in the latest statement week to $30,938 million.
Required reserves declined while excess reserves and member bank borrowings
at the Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves in the
latest statement week. Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks also
declined and more than offset this reserve drain. In addition, System Open
Market operations provided $116 million of reserves net, on a weekly average
basis, through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements,
Member bank borrowings averaged $765 million and exceeded excess reserves by
$294 million compared to $469 million for the previous week.
