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.
