FEDERAL

RESERVE

Factors Affecting Bonk Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
For immediate release

H.4.1

October 29, 1970
The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks decreased
$496 million to $28,406 million. Required reserves, excess reserves, and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
A seasonal decline in currency in circulation was the major factor
supplying reserves during the latest statement week. Reserves were drained in
significant amounts by a seasonal decline in float and a modest rise in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations
absorbed $326 million in reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Most of this
reserve absorption was through the run off repurchase agreements made in the
previous week. Member bank borrowings were below the average of the previous
two weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $291 million compared with the revised
figure of $388 million for the previous week.
