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

H.4.1

For immediate release
May 3, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
slightly in the latest statement week $32,474 million. Required reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased while excess reserves declined.
A decline in float and an increase in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks were the major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement week.
A decline in currency in circulation partially offset this reserve drain. In addition,
System Open Market Operations provided $467 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreement.
