RESERVE

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

H.4.1

For immediate release
September 24, 1970

The average of daily figures of total reserves decreased $583 million in
the latest week to $28,267 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
Several factors supplied important amounts of reserves in the latest
statement week. Float increased by $497 million. This source of reserves was
augmented by a greater than seasonal decline in currency in circulation and a
decrease in other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. These reserve gains
were in some part offset by a rise in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
In addition Open Market operations drained reserves by $942 million net, on a
weekly average basis. Over a third of this reserve reduction was through matched
sale-purchase agreements. Member bank borrowings dropped by a modest amount and
exceeded excess reserves by $638 million compared to the revised figure of
$235 million for the previous week.
