Foctors Affecting Bonk Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
September 11, 1969

The average of daily figures of total reserves of member banks declined
$84 million (net) in the latest week to $26,832 million. Required reserves were
about unchanged, while excess reserves and member bank borrowings declined.
The major factor affecting reserve flows in the past week was the very sharp
drop in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve banks. In addition, in order to meet
temporary cash needs, the Treasury borrowed $1.1 million from the System through the
issuance of special certificates. These borrowings combined with the lower Treasury
balance provided nearly $1.4 billion of reserves on weekly average. To offset these
large reserve provisions, System Open Market operations absorbed over $1.4 billion of
reserves, on a weekly average basis, primarily through matched sale-purchase transactions. A record level of $2.3 billion of such transactions were outstanding at
the end of the week.
With reserves readily available from alternative sources, member bank borrowings declined below the average of recent weeks to $740 million. Borrowings exceeded
excess reserves by $464 million, compared to the revised figure of $870 million for
the previous week.
