‘ a . THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1930 - HOE BUILDERS ARE. RRCOVERING FROM FALL DEPRESSION i Annual Meeting of League at} ; Grand Rapids Shows As- sets of $8,695, 154,220 12,000,000 NOW ON ROLLS) | | Demand by Borrowers Increas- ing; Residence Contracts Still Below Normal | Building and loan associations, im- portant factors in the home financ- ing field in spite of the business de- pression of last year, increased their assets by nearly $7,000,000.00, and as this amount represents the sav- ings of individuals this is a good omen:for the country, said H, F. Cellarius, secretary-treasurer of the U. S. Building and Loan league at this week’s annual meeting at Grand Rapids, Michigan. Making his yearly report before the 38th annual convention, Mr, Cellarius described the growth of this business during a “bad year’ and said it was significant that all building and loan associations were able to pay the heavy withdrawals that folowed the stock market crash of last fall. Association members that num- ber more than 12,000,000 people with savings of more than $8,500,000,000 invest these funds in building and Joan associations who re-lend these large sums exclusively for home buy- ing purposes. The associations are under state supervision in most states. $700,000,000 Saved, 1929 “The building and loan associa- tions will make a drive to increase their membership to 60,000,000 peo- ple in as short a time as possible, and if this plan is successful, the savings of these people will reduce home costs in this country,” said Ernest A. Hale, Boston, president of the league. Although he reported a lessened demand for mortgage money for the second quarter of 1930, the league treasurer stated that business was gradually “picking up” throughout the country, and referred with pride to the $700,000,000 the public was able to lay by in 1929, Thus, he figures that the average amount held by building and loan members increased $49.71 last year and that $717.94 is the average amount held by each of the’ 12,000,- 000 members which doesn’t sount sxactly like hard times.

Building 14 Per Cent Off Touching on all types of construc- 'NORTHDAKOTA LAMB tion being undertaken throughout the United States, the speaker stated that contracts for residence con- struction awarded in 36 states in the first three months of 1930 were down 48 per cent as compared with 1929. Total contracts awarded for all classes of construction for the first quarter of 1930 fell off only about 14 per cent and for the first half of 1930 residence constructions continued nearly 50 per cent less than the amount shown for the cor- responding period of last year but contracts for all classes of construc- tion improved somewhat during the second quarter so that for the first half of the year all construction was off only twelve and one-half per cent over 1929. ; In giving detailed figures on gains in assets by states, Mr. Cellarius said New Jersey showed the great- est gain, having added $119,074,- 037.00 during 1929. Pennsylvania made a gain of $59,943,656.00 and Ohio $46,145,259.00, Other states making gains in assets of id alate is- consin $31,162,283.00; Illinois $28,- 495,532.00; Massachusetts $27,516,- 610; Texas $23,981,515.00; New York $20,680,594.00; Missouri $19,224,- 6: Michigan $18,466,603.00; In- diana $14,047,877.00 and Kentucky $13,367,294.00. 20 Associations in State accounts. New accounts have been opened. We have assets today of $8,695,154,220, an increase of $679,- 119,893.00 or a growth of nearly eight and one-half per cent in the bad year of 1929. “During. the last half of 1929 a speculative mania ran riot among all classes of people. It culminated in one of the greatest slumps in stock prices ever witnessed by our people. A large volume of savings of our people was withdrawn from building and loan associations and other financial institutions .and poured into the stock market, it is needless to recall with what disas- trous results. “About the middle of December, however, there was a notable change in conditions. The withdrawal de- mand decreased considerably, moneys began to flow back into the associa- tions in better volume. In the first quarter of 1930 there continued a gradual but steady improvement; associations which had borrowed from banks to meet the withdrawal demands of shareholders began to liquidate their indebtedness and many resumed the making of mort- The statistical table shows, by states, the number of associations, the total membership and total as- sets. The data given are for the fiscal year of the respective state supervisory departments ending in 1929. The figures for North Dakota show 20 associations; 19,600 mem- bers; $10,952,539 assetss, an increase of $482,920. The membership in- crease was 600.

GROP IS BELOW 1929, For United States There Has Been Increase of 8 Percent Over Last Year The North Dakota lamb crop for 1930 is estimated to be 466,000 head compared with 480,000 in 1929 and 371,000 in 1928, according to the July report of the Department of Agricul- ture. The number of breeding ewés had increased from 459,000 head in 1929 to 474,000 this year, but a small- er number of lambs saved per 100 head this year as compared with last, more than offset the increase in breeding ewes. The number of sheep in North Dakota shows a steady in- crease since 1922, when the estimate was 203,000 head. On January 1, 1930, it was estimated that 645,000 head were on farms of the state. The 1930 lamb crop of the United States was about 2,000,000 head or 8 per cent larger than the lamb crops of 1928 and 1929 according to the re- port issued by the Department of Agriculture. The indicated lamb crops of the three years are: 26,363,- 000 for 1928, 26,441,000 for 1929 and 28,458,000 for 1930. The number of lambs saved per 100 ewes one year old or over on January 1 was 89.1 in 1928, 83.9 in 1929 and 87.3 in 1930. Com- pared to 1929 the larger lamb crop this year was due both to an increas- ed number of breeding ewes and a larger number of lambs saved per 100 ewes. Compared to 1928 the increase was due to the increased number of breeding ewes since the number of lambs saved per 100 ewes was smaller in_1930 than in 1928. Both the native and western lamb was about 4 percent or 400,000 head larger than in 1929 and 8 per cent larger than in 1928, The increase this year was due both to increased num- bers of breeding ewes and a larger number of lambs saved per 100 ewes, The native lamb crop was 8,930,000 in oan 9,326,000 in 1929 and 9,734,000 in The western lamb crop of 1930 was 9.5 per cent or about 1,600,000 head larger than that of 1929 but only about 7 per cent larger than the crop year overglast were in the late lamb- ing areas in most of which the late crop ih 1929 was reduced by very un- favorable weather during and after lambing. All of the states except Texas had larger crops this year than last. In Texas unfavorable weather and food conditions resulted in a de- crease from 77 to 62 in the number of lambs saved per 100 ewes, which. more than offset a 12 per cent increase in brooding ewes. The lamb crop in the 13 western lamb states was 17,433,000 in. 1928, 17,115,000 in 1929 and 18,724,- 000 in 1930.
