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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 24, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
declined $619 million in the latest statement week to $32,314 million. Required
reserves, excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
all declined.
Declines in float and other Federal Reserve assets were the major factors
absorbing reserves in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve
drains was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition,
System Open Market operations provided $482 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements.
