.H.0.L.C.MORTGAGE'
ACTIONS DECLINE
Rate of Foreclosure Author
izationS at Lowest Point
Since May.

A substantial decrease In mortgages
authorized for foreclosure In October
by the Home Owners Loan Corp. was
announced ut its Offices here today.
This is the second successive monthly
decrease. bringing the rate Of fore
closure authorizations to the lowest
point since May. 1t was stated.
The announcement pointed out that
mortgages authorized for foreclosure"
should not be confused with actual
foreclosures or the acquisition In any
other way of mortgaged properties. As
an example. 1t was cited that many
cases are withdrawn from foreclosure,
after legal proceedings have begun,
due to last-minute adjustments OF de-
linquencies on the part of the bor-
rowers, and that Withdrawals have oc-
CURED In approximately one out OF
every eight cases wherein legal action
had actually been completed. Sub
stantial payments by borrowers con-
tinually cause additional cases to De
withdrawn for a recasting Of the loans
on a basis mutually agreeable.
The October foreclosure authorize
tions totaled 6,265, q drop OF LUIS
from September and 1888 from Au-
gust. The total authorizations to No
vember 1 were 57,413. of which 33,246
are uncompleted; 2,225 have been
withdrawn because the home owners
paid up their delinquencies; l,52e have
been suspended by the management
pending negotiations for read1ustment;
4.273 deeds have been voluntarily sur
rendered; 10.549 have been foreclosed
with the title in the H. o. L. c.;
5,525 have been bought in by the cor
poration. but the final transfers await
the expiration of a redemption period,
and ST have been purchased by others.
The properties actually acquired by
November represent IA per cent of
the total loans.
OF the 6,265 october foreclosure au-
thorizations, it was stated 874 proper
ties had been abandoned by their own
ers and 334 cases resulted from the
death of borrowers. During the month
400 cases were suspended for readjust-
ments and IT'S withdrawn due to the
ability of the borrowers to pay up their
delinquencies.

'5)% JUMP IS SEEN
IN HOME BUILDING
That Increase in Volume
Predicted for 1887 by
Lumber Report.
nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The volume of home building Will
be so per cent greater next year
than this, it was predicted this week
in a report filed with Secretary Roper
by the Special Lumber Survey Com
mittee of the Commerce Department.
In its quarterly accounting the COM
, mittee also said the outlook for 1887
is Favorable for an increasing lumber
demand"
It's predictions were based on an
analysis of lumber consumption and
stocks as of October / and Of reports
on prospective lumber consumption
during the last quarter Of 1895.
: The committee said q recovery in
railroad lumber purchases is lin near
prospect" that exports should be
rsliehtly better" and that an increase
in industrial demand for lumber Is
indicated.
Consumption Is Higher.
THE volume OF national lumber
consumption has shown marked re-
covery," the report said. Lumber
has an opportunity to share gen.
erously in the expected advances in
building activity, especially in low
cost homes and in farm structures"
Commenting on the possibility OF a
greater demand for lumber in the con-
struction of farm buildings. the COM
mittee said an increase in total farm
cash income during 1887 is indicated.
A survey of 81 States showed resi-
dental building during the first nine
months of 1886 was II per cent greater
than during the corresponding 1895
period. it added.
Hardwood Industry Booms.
The hardwood industry, the COM
mittee said. is concluding its best
year since 1881" with furniture fac
tories, millwork and flooring plants
and automobile repair shops the
heaviest buyers. Box and most other
markets have kept to even levels.
The committee estimated lumber
consumption for 1886 at 22,427 900 ,00(
board feet, highest OF any year, 1926
TO 1885, inclusive.
1t said however. that the estimate
"may be too high If the maritime
strike continues"
