FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
ondition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
March 11, 1971

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$66 million to $29,451 million. Required reserves also decreased while excess
reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased.
An increase in float was the only factor supplying a significant amount
of reserves in this latest statement week. Reserves were drained by a greater
than seasonal rise in currency in circulation and an increase in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations absorbed
$438 million of reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings
rose above the average of the past two weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $291
million compared to $146 million for the previous week.
