Purchase Of homesites has gone on
at approximately twice the rate of

Is decidedly higher than last year.
During 1887 it averaged about one

In the 173 cities reporting on this
matter there were sold in the first
five months of the current year a
total of 25,003 subdivision lots. Since
the reporting cities have a combined
population Of 14,329,191, this means
one new homesite purchased for every

pared with year ago in "a per cent

group the change has been almost
equally divided between a S per cent

cities show the rise as a S per cent
rise, 43 per cent show it as a 10 per

group those with per cent decline
outnumber those with a 10 per cent
decline two to one, with 60 per cent in

a somewhat greater recession.
Present actual interest rate at which
first mortgage loans on new moderately
priced homes are now most commonly
being made is still per cent in So

measurable swing toward a lower
rate. Six months ago so per cent of

as the most common. A 5 per cent
rate is checked in SO per cent of the
cities, whereas less than Is per cent
so reported six months ago. A range
as low as AZ per cent exists in 3

INSURED SHARES
BOOM SAVINGS
Association Members Of Plan
Show Bigger Increase
Than Non-Insurers.

A steady increase In investments in
savings and loan associations which
have protected their savers by insur-
ing their share accounts with the Fed
eral Savings and Loan Insurance
Corp. was revealed by Deputy Cen
eral Manager Oscar r. Kreutz here
today.
Citing figures OF q survey Of insured
associations in one Of the IL Federal
Home Loan Bank districts, Mr.. Kreutz
pointed out that gains in their in
vestments following their provision
for insurance were substantially cumu-
lative.
The study showed % associations
insured during 1884 grew 81 per cent
during the following year, 1875 per
cent in the next and 81 per cent in
the third.
Many individual associations Of
substantial size experienced an in
crease In private capital during 1887
as high as 100 per cent" Mr.. Kreutz
said. THE average increase in pri-
vate capital in all associations is, of
course, much smaller than this and
q sample of 1,435 insured institutions
with total private invested capital Of
$778,29l 900 on December 81, 1885,
showed net increase during 1887 Of
Ill per cent.
Figures Significant.
This is particularly significant and
favorable in view of the fact that many
Of these associations had been insured
just prior to December 81, 1886, and
did not feel the effects of insurance
of accounts until 1887 was well under
way"
In one State, Mr.. Kreutz said, it was
found that. while uninsured associa-
tions in 1887 had a net loss Of Z per
cent in private capital invested in
them.
ITO the best OF our knowledge" Mr..
Kreutz said. every insured associa-
tion operating in competition with an
uninsured association has a more
favorable experience in attracting
capital than its uninsured competitor.
"One case in mind represents fair
example of this experience. There
are two especially fine associations
operating in a large city where condi-
tions are quite stable. Both associa-
tions are capably managed Their
1887 and January, 1888, experience Is
very interesting.
