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

H.4.1

For immediate release
October 18, 1973
The average of daily figures for total reserves of member
banks increased $205 million in the latest statement week to $34,926
million. Required reserves increased while excess reserves and member
bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks declined.
An increase in float was the major factor providing reserves
in the latest statement week. Partially offsetting this reserve gain was
an increase in currency in circulation. System Open Market Operations
provided $632 million reserves net, on a weekly average basis, through
outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements.
