FEDERAL RESERVE
'•.firsts?:

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

H.4.1

For immediate release
October 25, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks increased
slightly in the latest statement week to $34,989 million. Required reserves declined
while excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks increased.
A decline in float and increases in Treasury cash holdings, Treasury deposits
and other deposits with Federal Reserve Banks and other Federal Reserve liabilities and
capital were all factors absorbing a significant amount of reserves in the latest
statement week. Partially offsetting these reserve drains were increases in gold stock
and other Federal Reserve assets and a decline in currency in circulation. In addition,
System Open Market Operations provided $351 million reserves net, on a weekly average
basis, through outright purchases of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements.
