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

H.4.1

September 2, 1971
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
$402 million in the latest statement week to $30,531 million. Required reserves
and excess reserves increased while member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
declined,
A seasonal decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves
in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting this reserve drain was a
decline in currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market operations
provided $446 million of reserves net, on a weekly average basis, primarily through
outright purchases of Treasury bills. Some repurchase agreements were also made
near the end of the week. Member bank borrowings declined to an average level of
$708 million and exceeded excess reserves by $363 million compared to $662 million
for the previous week.
