BUILDING AND LOAN STATISTICS

United States League Reports Steady In

peated itself in the 1929, 000, 900 in
crease in building and loan assets last
year and We are justified In expecting
this gain to result as 1t has in the
past in progress to recovery. This
money will be used for home purchase
and home construction. Revival of
construction brings new purchasing
power into the field; first it steadies
prices and then contributes to their
rise, which Is essential to recovery.
Savings in building and loan asSo-
Citations are invested in mortgage loans
on small homes occupied by their
owners. The stability of residential
real estate is usually impressed upon
the minds Of savers when a depression
phase augments the fluctuations in
other securities. This partially &C
counts for the gain building and loans
enjoy in these times. Only a few days
most populous States reported q slump
Of 81 per cent in the value of other
investments in contrast to a mere l u
per cent drop in residential real estate
values in 1880.
THE stability Of the home owner as
a borrower also contributes to the
soundneSs of building and loan invest
ments. These home loans are amor

has shown that the home owner will
make greater efforts to keep up his
home payments than to discharge any
other debt.
Consistency Of Return.
safety, so widely sought in a de-
preston phase, is associated with con-
stancy of return In the case Of building
and loan associations. Semi-annual and,
in some cases, quarterly dividend dates,
during the past hundred years of
building and loan history, have never
found the associations passing divi-
dends. Nearly half a billion dollars
was paid out in dividends to share
holders during 1891. On January /,
1892, nearly quarter Of q billion dol
lars dividends will be declared, accord
ing to present indications.
The dividend rates paid by build

CHICAGO, Ill, october 26-Building

made by officers of the United States
Building and Loan League, meeting in
Chicago last week. The results of the
analysis were released to the leagues
ZOO member associations yesterday.
On January !, 1882, the associations
will nav out nearly $3.50, 0O0. 900 in
dividends to their 10000 sharehold-
ers In this country, the league officers
said. emphasizing the conStancy of divi-
dend payments to shareholders as one
of the reasons for the consistent gains
made by these institutions, regardless Of
the business cycle phases.
Stability Of Mortgages.
Another reason advanced for these
gains was the essential stability of real
estate first mortgages as compared to
other investment alternatives.
Since 1898 the assertions total assets

The league recalls comments on a

expiration Of the Hoover moratorium
met with approval in at least some high
banking circles.
The announcement of intention to
maintain the gold standard In France
and the United States, and to study
means Of maintaining stability Of inter-
national exchanges, impressed banking
quarters as distinctly encouraging.
It was pointed out that cooperation
between the Bank of France and the
Federal Reserve Bank had already made
pronounced progress. DR.. w. Ran
dolph Burgess has recently conferred
with representatives of the Bank of
France in Paris, and two representatives
of the bank are in New York, and have
been paying frequent visits to the Re-
serve bank.
International bankers said that bear
speculation in dollar exchange IN Paris
had diminished considerably, and that
the dow Of gold from New York TO
Paris was slackening measurably.
