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

For immediate release
September 13, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
declined $725 million in the latest statement week to $33,419 million.
Required reserves, excess reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal
Reserve Banks all declined.
An increase in float and declines in both Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve Banks and other liabilities and capital were the major
factors supplying reserves in the latest statement week. Reserves were
drained by a seasonal rise in currency in circulation. During the week,
in order to meet temporary seasonal cash n^eds, the Treasury borrowed
$131 million from the System, on weekly average, through the issuance of
special certificates. System Open Market operations absorbed $2,683 million
of reserves net, on a weekly average basis.
