FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
H.4.1

For immediate release
April 25, 1974
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks declined $199 million in the latest statement week to a level of
$36,109 million. Required reserves and member bank borrowings from
Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves declined.
A decline in float and an increase in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks were the major factors absorbing reserves
in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve
drains were declines in currency in circulation and foreign deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks. System Open Market Operations provided
$158 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis, through outright
purchases of Treasury bills and Federal Agency obligations and through
repurchase agreements.
