FEDERAL RESERVE
firsts?:

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

H.4.1

For immediate release
November 23, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks increased $232 million in the latest statement week to
$34,960 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all increased.
Major factors absorbing reserves in the latest statement
week were a decline in other Federal Reserve assets and increases
in currency in circulation, Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve
Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital. Reserves
were provided by an increase in float. In addition, System Open
Market Operations provided $2,561 million reserves net, on a weekly
average basis, through outright purchases of Treasury bills and
repurchase agreements.
