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

For immediate release
December 6, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks increased $418 million in the latest statement week to
$34,784 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
A decline in float was the major factor absorbing
reserves in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting this
reserve drain was a decline in foreign deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $710 million
reserves net, on a weekly average basis, through repurchase agreements.
