FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
h

.4.i

For immediate release
February 1, 1962

The average of daily figures of total member bank reserves held during the
week ended January 31 decreased $249 million to $19,721 million. Estimated currency
and coin of member banks decreased $37 million and their reserve balances at the
Federal Reserve Banks decreased $212 million. Estimated required reserves decreased
$35 million; and estimated excess reserves decreased $214 million to $484 million.
Excess reserves exceeded member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks by
$424 million, compared with the revised figure of $654 million the week before.

The principal change reducing average reserve balances with Federal
Reserve Banks was a decrease of $559 million in Federal Reserve float. The
principal offsetting changes were increases of $31 million in U. S. Government
securities bought outright and $l6 million in member bank borrowings, and decreases
of $278 million in currency in circulation and $15 million in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks. Total Reserve Bank credit decreased $507 million.
As of Wednesday, January 31, holdings of U. S. Government securities
bought outright were $397 million higher than a week earlier and member bank bor­
rowings were $l4 million lower. Outright holdings of bills and notes increased
$373 million and $24 million, respectively.
