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

•V^f^^

H.4.1

For immediate release
September 6, 1973

The average of daily figures for total reserves of member banks
increased $326 million in the latest statement week to $34,1-44 million.
Required reserves and member bank borrowings at Federal Reserve Banks
declined while excess reserves increased.
A decline in float and increases in currency in circulation and
other Federal Reserve liabilities and capital were the major factors absorbing
reserves in the latest statement week.
Partially offsetting these reserve drains
was a decline in Treasury deposits with Federal Reserve Banks. In addition,
System Open Market operations provided $530 million reserves net, on a weekly
average basis, through outright purchase of Treasury bills and repurchase agreements.
Some reserves were absorbed late in the statement week through matched
sale-purchase transactions.
