FEDERAL

RESERVE

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

H.4.1

December 17, 1970
The averages of daily figures of total reserves of member banks increased
$305 million to $29,015 million in the latest week. Excess reserves declined
while required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks both
increased.
The major factors absorbing reserves in this latest statement week were
a greater than seasonal rise in currency in circulation and an increase in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Several factors added to reserves in small
amounts. In addition, System Open Market operations supplied $588 million in
reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged $399
million and exceeded excess reserves by $300 million compared with $153 million
for the previous week.
