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

For immediate release
August 9, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$616 million in the latest statement week to $33,414 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
An increase in float and declines in both Treasury deposits and foreign
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks were the major factors supplying reserves in
the latest: statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve gains was an increase
in currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market operations absorbed
$1,019 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis through matched sale-purchase
transactions and maturing repurchase agreements made in the previous week.
