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

For immediate release
February 21, 1974

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks declined slightly in the latest statement week to $35,356 million.
Required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
increased while excess reserves declined.
Major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week were increases in currency in circulation and other Federal
Reserve liabilities and capital and a decrease in other Federal Reserve
assets. Partially offsetting these reserve drains was a decline in
Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System
Open Market Operations provided $887 million reserves net, on a weekly
average basis, through Treasury bills, Federal Agency obligations and
repurchase agreements.
