FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
November 4, 1971

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased in
the latest statement week to $550 million. Required reserves and excess reserves
increased while member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks declined.
An increase in currency in circulation was the major factor absorbing
reserves in the latest statement week. Float, which normally declines at this time of
month, rose contraseasonally by $203 million. Also providing a significant amount of
reserves was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. System Open
Market operations supplied $57 million of reserves net, on a weekly average basis,
primarily through repurchase agreements at the end of the week. Member bank borrowings
were $198 million less than excess reserves. In the previous week they exceeded excess
reserves by $370 million.
