Nov 14 (Reuters) - The New York Federal Reserve on Thursday accepted all $73.59 billion in bids from primary dealers at an overnight repurchase agreement (repo) operation, a move intended to help maintain the federal funds rate within its target range.

The amount was less than the $77.09 billion in repos awarded on Wednesday.
