MONEY PLENTIFUL FOR ,
LOANS ON REALTY IN
PORTLAND; RATE. LOW
Dealers Say Offerings at 6
Per Cent Never Were So
Heavy in Past 10 Years,
;The local mortgage situation Is Just
as acute, from the viewpoint of a ple
thora of money offered as It has been
at any time during the past two or
three years. The Liberty loan drive
seems to have had no effect on those
lenders who usually seek real estate
security for their loans. One broker
reports that extending over a period
of 10 years, he has never seen anything
like the amount of money that is now
offered in Portland real estate. This
condition, of course, does not apply to
the banks, as "bankers for the most
part have been conserving their cash
for some time, in order to get ready to
take care of the demands of the gov
eminent. It is the individual holdet of
money who is anxious to get his bank
account on an income basis, who is re
sponsible for the unusually heavy of
ferings for lending purposes..
Six per cent 1 the ruling rate now in
.Portland, lor inside and choice resi
dence loans. A few loans are made
at 7 per cent, but for the most part
these are confined to outside and less
valuable properties. The truth is, al
most any borrower should have no
trouble in getting 6 per cent money, if
he has good security to offer, even
though he may want as little as $500,
offering as security an improved lot in
a remote residence section of the city
Floating of Liberty bonds by the
federal government has a tendency - to
confuse those who do not understand
financial operations of this character,
It should be remembered that practi
cally none of the money raised by the
sale of Liberty bonds is to leave this
country. It Is almost wholly an aid to
the American business Interest In the
bookkeeping employed In clearing the
enormous debt which Europe has plied
up in this country. For the first time
since this republic was established
America is now a credit nation. It
will be a long time before Europe pays
its debts in this country. The various
European nations will be paying huge
sums of money annually on interest
and principal, just as this country paid
to Europe for the hundred and twenty-
five years prior to 1914.
it is well to remember that ever
though the government should r&Vft
the maximum sum asked for $5, 090,
000,000 and Oregon should subscribe
the maximum allotment to this state
$24,500,000 there will be no appre
ciably less volume of money in Oregon
after the bonds are paid for than now
As noted before, nearly all of this
huge sum of money will remain in
this country and practically all, and
perhaps more than Oregon's quota will
remain in Oregon. There need be no
fear of a scarcity of money due to the
Liberty bond loan.
