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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 6, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$64 million in the latest week to $28,091 million. Both required reserves and
member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks decreased while excess reserves
increased by a modest amount.
Reserves were absorbed in this latest statement week by a somewhat
greater than seasonal decline in float and a rise in other Federal Reserve
liabilities and capital. Additional reserves were drained by a seasonal increase
in currency in circulation. These reserve declines were more than offset by
System Open Market operations which supplied $583 million in reserves on a weekly
average basis through outright sales and repurchase agreements in approximately
equal amounts. Member bank borrowings averaged lower than in the past four
weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $878 million compared to the revised figure
of $1,137 million for the previous week.
