Real estate security prices during
November repeated the upward trend
evidenced in October. According to
the Amott- Baker average, the aver
age price of real estate bonds during
the past 30 days rose 18 per cent.
Ninety-one of the 200 issues upon
which the average is based increased
in price. Sixty-seven were at the
same level at the close of the month,
while only AZ issues were quoted
lower
The average price of $1,000 first
mortgage real estate bond on No
vember 30 is 1894. This compares
with 1923 at the close of October
and 1926 at the close of 1887. This
indicates rise of az per cent dur
ing the first II months of the year.
Prices of real estate securities
show an increase in all cities except
in Boston. The New York issues
included in the average show an
increase in the month of 81 per cent,
and an increase of 81 per cent in the
II months. Average price of these
bonds is exactly the same as for the
average as a whole, that is 1894 per
$1,000.
