VAST EXTENT OF
BORROWING HABIT

"One favor.te topic for experts on
business conditions just now is the
| Immense amount Of borrowing going
on in this country says Bonds and
/ Mortgages. On every direction appears
to be a tendency to borrow all the
money in sight, and it is curious
situation that there is plenty of OPP
portunity for obtaining funds Recent
reports of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency shows that the loans Of the
country's seven thousand national
banks expanded $3SS.OOO,OOO last year
and SS16,OOOO 600 in the past two years.
! AS the New York banks actually re-
duced loans by S71OOO,OOO during the
past year, the country banks were
expanded $459,0O0,OOO This is a
significant fact, and is evidence that
the farming communities have Dor
rowed heavily from banks during these
two years They have probably Dor
rowed for several purposes. Perhaps
the most important of these was for
buying more land. In every part Of
the middle west land buying has been
accompanied by real estate mortgages
and the state banks have been max
ing this kind of loans with such libe-
rality that in many instances they
have been compelled to borrow them
selves in order to protect their de-
post accounts.
"The high price of grain, with pro-
spects of yet larger figures has
tempted many a farmer to keep his
wheat in the bin until his ambition
can be realized. Along with this has
gone the borrowing to buy new i'm
plements and in some instances to
speculate in stock and commodities.
The promoters have reaped a rich
harvest with schemes for getting the
harvester's money, particularly in the
western states. The western real
estate men say that farm mortgages
are increasing at an unusual rate.
This does not mean that the farmers
are getting hopelessly in debt, for in
telligent borrowing often means Il
wise use of credits. 1t does mean that
farmers are utilizing their credits due
to the fact that most of their farms
have doubled in value in little more
than half a decade. There is danger
in too much expansion of this sort. The
day of reckoning for some of the
wheat spectators may not be for off.
ut is generally admitted that cheap
money is not expected for several
months. The demands of the railroads
and other corporations for new capt.
tai win take up all the available funds
of the larger loaning institutions so
that the borrower on small scale
twill continue to pay a sti6 rate Of in
terest. Some of the large Insurance
companies that make a speciality +
loaning money on real estate contem-
lplate raising their rates in order both
to cut down the amounts borrowed
and to give them a larger profit which
is warranted by the demand for money
in other directions. 1t is unques "o"spIy
a condition of today that the borrow
ing fever is at a greater height than
at any time in the country's history
People have learned how to use money
and credits and have no hesitancy
about obtaining all borrowed funds
