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

H.4.1

For immediate release
March 21, 1974

The average of total reserves of member banks increased
$408 million in the latest statement week to $35,168 million. Required
reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased
while excess reserves declined.
A decline in float and an increase in other Federal Reserve
liabilities and capital were the major factors absorbing reserves in the
latest statement week. Offsetting these reserve drains was a decline
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. System Open Market
Operations provided $677 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis, through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase
agreements.
