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

H.4.1

For immediate release
September 14, 1972

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$838 million in the latest statement week to $32,562 million. Required reserves
increased while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
declined. Excess reserves were negative, on a weekly average, reflecting in part
the unusually large surplus reserve carryover of the previous week.
Major factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week were an
increase in float and declines in both Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks
and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. Reserves were drained by a
seasonal rise in currency in circulation. System Open Market operations absorbed
$2,048 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis, primarily through matched
sales-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings averaged $149 million and
exceeded excess by $223 million compared to $3 million for the previous week.
