STABILITY SHOWN
HERE DURING 1881
11,791 Deeds Filed for Rec.
ord, Indicating Big Real
Estate Activity.

Evidences of Washingtons stability
in times of stress are seen in various
records Of the past year by John A.
Petty, executive secretary of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board.
1.-THE year 1881 is generally conceded
to have been the worst period of the
business depression which has envel-
oped the Nation since late in the year
1929, Notwithstanding this fact, a
study of the records discloses evidence
which not only clearly indicates that
real estate activities in Washington
have maintained an even keel, but in
certain important respects actual i'm
provement is noted he said today.
"All real estate transfers, as well as
all matters of real estate financing,
are ultimately consumated by filing in
the office of the recorder of deeds
formal deeds of conveyance and deeds
of trust commonly referred to as mort
cages. Consequently, the number of
such papers recorded Is an accurate
index of real estate activities and
study of these figures and other facts
shows the following:
lI,791 Deeds in Year.
During 1881 there were filed for
record a total of 11,791 deeds trans
ferring title to real estate. This figure
is just three less than the number of
deeds recorded in 1890
"The number of deeds of trust re-
corded in 1881 was 12,753, which is
only 2 per cent less than the number
recorded in 1890. These deeds Of trust
represent both money borrowed on
real estate as well as security for de-
ferred payments on the purchase of
real estate. In amount, the aggregate
sum represented over $50, 100000, which
is approximately 25 per cent less than
the total sum for 1880.
Foreclosures Are Fewer.
Foreclosures during 1881 totaled
/ .O67. which figure is 2l1 less than
noted in 1890. This is striking evil
dence of the stability of general busi-
ness conditions in Washington, and
is a record which perhaps few cities
of comparable size can show.
Private building construction in 1891
reached a total of nearly s3l,000000,
as compared with less than $4,000
600 in 1880. This increase in conStruc-
ton is due to a healthy condition
in respect to residential properties.
Throughout the year there has been
a steady market for new homes, and
a recent survey of apartment houses
showed a vacancy of less than per
cent in this type of housing units"

BY January 1, 1882, the asso-
Citations had paid out dividends
amounting to half billion dol
lars. indicating a percentage of
yield comparing favorably with
the average return on building

prosperous times. The league
points out that this business has
