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

H.4.1

September 16, 1971
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
increased $12 million in the latest statement week to $30,881 million. Required
reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined while
excess reserves increased.
A seasonal increase in float and a decline in other Federal Reserve
liabilities and capital were the major factors supplying reserves in the
latest statement week. These reserve gains were in part offset by a rise in
currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market operations drained
$79 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis, primarily through matched
sale-purchase transactions. Member bank borrowings were below the average of
recent weeks and exceeded excess reserves by $191 million compared to $541
million in the previous week.
