Factors Affecting Bonk Reserves and
Conditio! Statement of F.R. Banks

H.4.1

For immediate release
July 9, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks
increased $53 million in the latest week to $27,822 million. Excess reserves
declined while required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal
Reserve Banks increased.
An increase in float of $592 million, which was sizably greater
than seasonal, was the major source of reserves in the latest statement week.
This increase in reserves was offset by several factors which drained reserves
by considerable amounts. A seasonal increase in currency in circulation was
the most significant factor in this reserve absorption. However, increases in
the Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and decreases in other
Federal Reserve assets drained additional reserves. System Open market operations
absorbed a modest amount of reserves, on a weekly average basis. Member bank
borrowings were above the average levels of recent weeks and exceeded excess
reserves by $1,235 million compared to the revised figure of $771 million for
the previous week.
