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

For immediate release
August 15, 1974
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks showed no change in the latest statement week. Required reserves
increased while excess reserves and member bank borrowing at Federal
Reserve Banks declined slightly.
The major factor providing reserves in the latest statement
week was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks.
This addition to reserves was largely offset by an increase in currency
in circulation and a decrease in float. In addition, System Open Market
Operations absorbed $162 million of reserves net, on a weekly average
basis, primarily through matched sale-purchase transactions.
