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

H.4.1

For immediate release
April 18, 1974

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks increased $1,129 million in the latest statement week to a level
of $36,308 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member
bank borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
Major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement week
were increases in currency in circulation, foreign deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital.
Partially offsetting these reserve drains was an increase in float. In
addition, System Open Market Operations provided $962 million reserves
net, on a weekly average basis through outright purchases of Treasury
bills and repurchase agreements.
