Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F*E. Banks
For immediate release
July 30, 1970

H.4.1

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$950 million in the latest week to $22,973 million. Excess reserves dropped
sharply to a very low level. Required reserves and member bank borrowings at
Federal Reserve Banks also decreased.
Currency declined at a greater than seasonal rate for the second week
and was the only factor supplying a significant amount of reserves in the latest
statement week. Float, falling sharply by $681 million, drained reserves. In
addition, open market operations absorbed $305 million in reserves net, on a
weekly average basis. A run off of repurchase agreements made in the previous
week accounted for most of this reserve absorption. However, a small amount
of reserves were drained (on a weekly average basis) through matched sales
purchases toward the end of the statement week. Member bank borrowings averaged
below recent weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $1,229 million compared to the
revised figure of $1,220 million for the previous week.
