By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 5. A sharp up ward swing in the dollar volume of mortgage loans for repairing, re modeling and building houses is Indicated by reports to the United States Building and Loan League. Figures covering the first quar ter of 1934 from building and loan associations in six states show an increase of 132 per cent over tha same period of 1933 in the dollar volume of loans in this category. Compared with 1932 statistic! from the same group of associations, the 1934 figures represent an increase of 81 per cent.

The number of persons borrow ing for construction purposes during early months of this year has been more than double the number receiving loans from the sanw sources in 1933. From reports re ceived thus far, the Increase has been about 139 per cent. The figures indicate that the amount of the average loan this year will be appreciably smaller than for the last two years. "Apparently the chief demand for credit in 'the construction field is from those who want to repair and modernize homes, rather than from those wishing to build new houses," says the report. "There are two likely reasons for this: In the first place, the cost of construction has taken such a big leap that families cannot generally afford to buy new homes, while they still can see their way clear to take on a comparatively small obligation for repairing or modernizing.

The average construction loan was $2745 in the first quarter of 1932, and is $1800 in 1934. "Secondly, the existing vacancies are still marked enough to causa the thoughtful family to hesitate about building a house. Reports from various states as to percentage of their new loans going inio -construction are another revelation. This percentage is 14 times greater this year than last in the case of one State which stands in the upper half of the list in building and loan resources. "Many others show the percentage of new construction loans to total loans doubled, when compared with last year's performance.

These statistics are evidence of a normally developing demand for renovating and for some new building." REAL FARM BARGAINS!
