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

H.4.1

For immediate release
August 8, 1974
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks declined $318 million in the latest statement week to a level
of $36,909 million. Required reserves and member bank borrowing at
Federal Reserve? Banks declined while excess reserves increased slightly.
An increase in float and decreases in Treasury deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and
capital were the major factors providing reserves in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting this addition to reserves was an
increase in currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market
Operations absorbed $588 million of reserves net, on a weekly average
basis, primarily through maturing repurchase agreements made in the
previous week.
