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

H.4.1

For immediate release
November 29, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks decreased $688 million in the latest statement week to
$34,366 million. Required reserves, excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks all declined.
An increase in float and a reduction in Treasurydeposits with Federal Reserve Banks were the major factors
supplying reserves in the latest week. Offsetting these reserve
gains were increases in currency in circulation and foreign deposits
with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition, System Open Market operations absorbed $827 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis,
primarily through maturing repurchase agreements made in the previous
week. Reserves were also provide*3, through outright purchases of
Treasury bills and repurchase agreer"!<*nts.
