H.4.1

November 12, 1970
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks increased
$61 million to $28,695 million in the latest statement week. Both required reserves
and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves
decreased by a modest amount.
An increase in float of $476 million was the major factor supplying
reserves in the latest week. The most significant drain on reserves was a rather
large seasonal rise in currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market
operations absorbed $70 million in reserves net, on a weekly average basis. This
net absorption of reserves in part reflected $750 million in matched sale-purchases
placed late in the statement week. Member bank borrowings remained roughly at the
level of the preceding two weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $178 million
compared with the revised figure of $120 million for the previous week.
