of c o w - . FEDERAL RESERVE Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and Condition Statement of F.R. Banks H.4.1 For immediate release March 29, 1973 The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks declined $343 million in the latest statement to $31,659 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member bank borrowings all declined. A sharp decline in float was the major factor absorbing reserves in the latest week. Declines in currency in circulation and Treasury deposits at Federal Reserve Banks partially offset this reserve drain. In addition, System Open Market operations provided $154 million reserves, on a weekly average basis. Member bank borrowings averaged $2,013 million and exceeded excess reserves by $1,943 million compared to $1,867 million in the previous week.
