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

H.4.1

March 25, 1971
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$426 million to $29,501 million. Required reserves and excess reserves both
declined while member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased by a
small amount.
An increase in float of $348 million was the major factor supplying
reserves in the latest statement week. Augmenting this source of reserves were
a small increase in other Federal Reserve assets and declines in currency in
circulation and other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. Increases in reserves
from these factors were offset in part by an increase in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market Operations absorbed $559
million in reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged
$333 million and exceeded Excess reserves by $270 million, compared to $56 million
for the previous week.
