DROP MORTGAGES
Trend Is to Get Out of Realty
Obligations Into Stocks
and Bonds.

Investment records of 40 reserve
life insurance companies show these
institutions are investing more money
in bonds than in real estate mort
cages and have been for six years. The
report of the recent convention of
Associated Life Insurance Presidents
held in New York City shows only 20
per cent of their funds in real estate
mortgages, the smallest percentage in
the 80 years covered in the report.
AS of December 81 last, the 40 COM
panies had s4,630,000 900 in mort
cages against sll ,7O3, 900, 900 in stocks
and bonds. The bond and stock
investments represented 81 per cent
OF the funds of the companies.
Mortgage investments have been
declining steadily, while stock and
bond investments have been increas-
Ing, Last September 80 the 40 COM
panies had SCI 100000 more in mort
cages than three months later. At
the close of 1885, S4,949,196 900, or
% per cent of their funds, was in
mortgages.
Mortgages at Peak in 1881.
The peak mortgage investment
period in the last 80 years was in
1881, when the companies had S7088,-
$4,000 in homes, farms, apartment
houses, office buildings, loft buildings
and other types of real estate Al
though it was the peak in point of
dollars the percentage peak was 1926,
when 43 per cent of the investments
OF these great companies, reservoirs
OF money, was in real property mort
cages, which was per cent more
assets than they had in stocks and
bonds at the time.
From an investment of S82O,OOO 900
In 1906 the companies had enlarged
their mortgage portfolio until in 1881
the total for the 40 companies was
S7088, ,978 600, the dollar peak for the
80 years covered by the report.
Since then there has been a steady
decline in their mortgage investments
and an increase in the millions put
into the ownership of stocks and
bonds by these companies. In that
year, 1881, their investments in stocks
and bonds totaled S6,93l, ,73O 900. The
following year there was an increase
Of S40,000,000 The flow of money
into stocks and bonds in the last
three months has increased S4OO 0OO,-
600. In September these investments
represented SOB per cent, or SILL
al3,271 900.
L. S. Bond Holdings Three Billion.
The last days of the old year found
the companies holding sl1, 703 900, 900
in these securities OF this amount,
950,00O,00O was in railoads, 81
458,000000 in public utilities and
s941 100000 in other types of bonds
and stocks. Investments in United
States Government bonds totaled So
548, 100000.
The reasons for the fattening out
OF the real estate mortgage portfolio
OF insurance companies were the ac-
tivltieS of the Government III the

torlumS enacted in various States.
which, in the opinion of life insur-
ance executives, have temporarily ar
rested the legal effect of contract
and leSSened the value of the security,
since it pushed away from chief prin-
cipal to the contract, the man who
had lent the money, the recognized
rights of contract.
