OF HOMES LARGE
S1O2,997,5O0 Mortgages
Accepted by F. H. A. in
Three-Month Period.

Large gains in the value OF home
financing under the Federal Housing
Administration were recorded during
the first quarter of 1887, Administra-
tor Stewart Mcdonald announced to-
day.
During January, February and
March of this year mortgages accepted
for insurance by the Federal Housing
Administration totaled $l02,997, 500,
an increase of 81 per cent over the
corresponding period Of 1886.
In March the gain was especially
large, nearly doubling the figures for
the same month of last year. A total
OF $43, ,790,560 in mortgages accepted
for insurance were reported during
the month, a gain OF 98.8 per cent
over March, 1886. The volume of
mortgages accepted for insurance dur
ing March was larger than for any
month in the records of the Federal
Housing Administration with the ex-
ception of June and October, 1886.
This was considered significant in
view of the fact that June and Octo-
ber are usually the peak building
months of the year.
Many New Residences.
The rising residential building vol
nme is further emphasized by the
fact that SO per cent of the mort
cages accepted for insurance during
the period were for newly constructed
homes.
These figures bear out earlier pre-
dictions by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration of accelerated activity in
home construction and financing dur
ing the year 1887. Whether this up
ward momentum can be maintained,
however, Administrator Mcdonald
said, depends entirely upon whether
cost of buildings materials rises precip-
ttately from this point.
S1,500,000,000 Gross Business.
Gross business transacted by the
Federal Housing Administration now
exceeds s1,500,OO0,Oo0. This includes
mortgages selected for appraisal, large
scale housing projects approved and
modernization and repair notes in
sured.
Mortgages accepted for insurance
reached total of S712,347117 on
April /.
Along with this increase in our
volume of business, it is pleasing to
note that there has been no CORE
spending rise in the foreclosure ratio,
said Administrator Mcdonald. AS of
March 81, debentures issued and out
standing on Is properties conveyed to
the administrator amounted to S59,-
1858. Meantime, the income of the
Federal Housing Administration is in
creasing and by the end of the present
fiscal year we should have approx
mately $20,000,000 in our mutual mort.

SALES AT new HIGH

Sales of electric refrigerators In
1886 reached a new high mark Of a.
037,746. This figure represents an In
crease of 30 per cent over the 1857
900 electric refrigerators sold in 1885.
Last years sales bring the total num-
ber of these refrigerators in use IN
the United States to 9,287,746. At
the end of 1885 there were 13,954,354
homes with electrical wiring that were
without electric refrigerators. Since
an increased percentage OF 1895 sales
were requirements due to scientific
advances which rendered many Of the
refrigerators in service obsolete, it
was estimated that there are still at
least 100000 homes in the country
wired for electricity which do not
possess the refrigerators.
