FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R, Banks
For immediate release

H.4.1

May 2, 1974

The average of daily figures for total reserves
of member banks increased $731 million in the latest statement week to a level of $36,840 million. Excess reserves
declined while required reserves and member bank borrowings
from Federal Reserve Banks increased.
The major factors absorbing reserves in the latest
week were a decline in Federal Reserve float and an increase
in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. A decline
in Currency in circulation partially offset these reserve
drains. In addition. System Open Market Operations provided
a sizable amount of reserves both through outright purchases
and through repurchase agreements*
