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

H.4.1

For immediate release
January 26, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined
$1,442 million in the latest statement week to $32,549 million. Required reserves,
excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
Major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement week were a more
than seasonal decline in float and an increase in Treasury deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks. These reserve drains were partially offset by a decline in currency
in circulation. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $141 million
reserves net, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged $1,095
million and exceeded excess reserves by $1,080 million compared to $1,009 million
for the previous week.
