FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release
October 28, 1971

H.4.1

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined in
the latest statement week to $30,424 million. Required reserves and excess reserves
declined while member bank borrowings at the Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A seasonal decline in currency in circulation was the major factor supplying
reserves in the latest statement week. A decline in float drained $552 million of
reserves on average. System Open Market operations absorbed $504 million of reserves
net, on a weekly average basis. However, some reserves were added at the end of the
week through repurchase agreements. Member bank borrowings averaged $414 million and
exceeded excess reserves by $370 million compared to $28 million in the previous week.
