FEDERAL

RESERVE

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

H.4.1

March 26, 1970
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$174 million in the latest statement week to $27,444 million. Both required and
excess reserves decreased while member bank borrowings increased in the latest
statment week.
A seasonal rise in float was the major factor supplying reserves in
this latest week. This source of reserves was partially offset by a drain in
reserves due to a rise in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In
addition, System Open Market operations absorbed $200 million in reserves net,
on a weekly average basis, through outright sales and matched-sale purchases.
Some repurchase agreements were made, however, at the end of the statement week.
Member bank borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $871 million compared to
$678 million for the previous week.
