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

For immediate release
August 1, 1974
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks declined $300 million in the latest statement week to a level
of $37,203 million. Required reserves and excess reserves declined
while member bank borrowing at Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A decline in currency in circulation was the major factor
providing reserves in the latest statement week. More than offsetting
this addition to reserves was an increase in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital,
and a decline in float. In addition, System Open Market Operations
absorbed $202 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis,
through matched sale-purchase transactions although reserves were
provided early in the week through repurchase agreements and outright
purchases of Treasury bills.
