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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 25, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$494 million in the latest statement week to $32,707 million. Required and excess
reserves declined while member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A decline in Treasury cash holdings and a seasonal increase in float were
the major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week. Offsetting
these reserve gains were an increase in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks and a decline in other Federal Reserve assets. In addition, System Open
Market operations absorbed $44 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis.
Excess reserves averaged $149 million and exceeded borrowings by $86 million compared
to $166 million in the previous week.
