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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 6, 1971

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks increased
$602 million in the latest statement week to $30,798 million. Required reserves
and excess reserves both increased while member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve
Banks were about unchanged from the level of the previous week.
A rise in the amount of currency in circulation and a more than seasonal
decline in float were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week. Offsetting some of these reserve drains was a decline in the Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations supplied
$773 million in reserves (net) on a weekly average basis through repurchase
agreements and outright purchases of Treasury bills. Member bank borrowings averaged
$175 million and were $202 million less than excess reserves. In the previous week
borrowings exceeded excess reserves by $95 million.
