MORTGAGES NOT WANTED.

DESIRE MORE UNDER PRESENT
CONDITIONS


DESIRE MORE UNDER PRESENT
CONDITIONS.
All the large companies In this city dealing In
mortgages on improved real estate are shutting
down on the business much as possible. Some
OF them. when asked about the situation. reply
that they are not exacting the gold clause, and
that they have made no change in their method OF
doing business. Now and then n president Of a
company or some other officer in the president S
absence will admit that the company has all the
mortgages to handle that il wants, and prefers to
have no more under the present conditions.
The action Of the Title Guarantee and Trust Com
many in shutting down mortgages TO certain
extent has given the word 10 some Of the other
conpan to adopt a similar course. The Lawyers
Mortgage Insurance Company Is one of these. An
officer Of this company said yesterday: although
the insurance Of mortgages on improved real estate
f. our business, do not want to deal In any
more mortgages at present. Yes. If you put II that
way we want no new business, except here and
thcre where the investment is particularly good
one The business is generally at n standstil.
There is a lack of confidence Investors and lenders
do not know whore they stand. OF course, many
of our patrons out of town. and this Is the
dull season. but there IS much more than this that
is causing this locking up Of business"
