FEDERAL RESERVE
Factors Affecting Bank Reserves and
Condition Statement of F.R. Banks
K.4. 1

For immediate release
November 8, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks declined $394 million in the latest statement week to $34,572
million. Required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal
Reserve Banks declined while excess reserves increased.
Both Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and
other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital declined and were the
major factors supplying reserves in the latest week. Reserves were
drained by a reduction in float and an increase in currency in circulation. In addition, System Open Market Operations absorbed $325 million
reserves net, on a weekly average basis, through redemptions of Treasury
Bills and matched sale-purchase transactions.
