In-May, 1958, Parliament amended the National Housing Act increasing to $750,000,000

can issue in direct hous- joans. This amount was in- creased at the current session to $1,000,000,000.
The corporation previously an- nounced that housing completions in 1958 rose to a record 146,686 from 117,283 in 1967. Also, 164,632 dwellings were started, up from 122,340 the previous year.
The report said this record would have been impressive in any year.
-“In 1958, it was the more so by contrast with reduced activity in other sectors of the economy. Expenditures on house — building

were %5 per cent above those of the previous year expenditures on other types of capital invest- ment were down by nine per cent.”
}»WHOPPING LOAN FIGURE Government housing “fending in 1958 totalled an unprecedented $373,000,000. Of this, $309,000,000 was used to finance homes for
viduals building their own homes and $254,000,000 being acquired by builders erecting homes for sale. The remaining $64,000,000 financed multiple units for rent.
Private lenders last year ap- proved mortgage ioans of $810,- 000,000, up from $517,000,000 the previous year. About two-thirds of this volume was under the National. Housing Act compared with a little more than one-third in 1957.
Main impact last year of the special measures taken by the government was on the construc- tion of houses for home owners, the report said. The total started in the year rose by 25-per cent to 115,221 from 92,227 in 1957.
The report said the year’s rec- ord house-building activity was achieved with the smallest in- crease in building costs in recent years. The cost per square foot of single-family houses financed under NHA averaged $10.51 in 1958, compared with $10.35 tlie previous year.
AVERAGE COST Average’ cost of these houses was $14,708 in 1958, as against $14,493 in 1957.

OMHC guaranteed 37,132 home improvement loans made by banks for a fotal of $39,600,- 000, up. from 29,947 loans and $30,600,000 the previous year. 3.

TIMELY NOTES ON FUR FARMING
More than 900,000 ranched mink were imported by the United States during December, 1958, ac- cording to Department of Com- merce figures. This was a clear increase over the previous De- cember. o The actual figures are: Decem- ber, 1956—931,632; December,— 1957—786,156. The rise could. be accounted for by exports of skins from Scandanavian countries. Sweden shipped 219,800 skins this past December, compared with 886,115 a year earlier. Fin- land’s percentage advance vaas even greater, with 137,757 skins exported, compared to 33,827 in December, 1957. Danish ship - ments rose slightly, from 116,820 to 121,115. Norway’s shipments climbed from 75,388 to 108,154.
Canada ise stili the most im- portant mink shipper to the Uni- ted States, but actually shipped fewer skins. Quantities declin- ed from 454,386 to 424,740, for the year 1956.
The above figures will give our mink farming friends reason to think very carefully about what would happen if the economy of the United States started to de- cline from its present prosper- ous condition. In the month of December, 1957, there was ser- ious consideration being given to the possibility of a setback in the manufacture and disposal of many products that were con- tributing verv largely ‘to the pros- perity of the United States.
One of these was steel, which is a real trade barometer, and in the month of December, 1957, U.S. steel (common) went below $50 a share. President Eisenhan- er and others rallied the confid- ence of the nation, and a real

wave of prosperity started in, which carried the stock market to unheard of heights. U.S. steel actually sold for $100 a share, and because of the profits from the stock market and the con- fidence of the nation, sales of luxuries increased . tremendously.
One of the principal juxuries was furs. Our ranchers will real- ize from the above that the pros- perity of the nation is the only real guarantee we have for the success of any of our fur indus- tires.
IN DENMARK
From faraway Copenhagen, Denmark, a despatch from Fair- child News Services, dated March 15, states that American buying interest was the high spot of the weekend auction of Danish Fur Sales which mark the end of Dan- ish winter fur production.
Ranch mink (males) sold 9 percent, and females sold 99 per- cent. Both went at prices five percent “higher than January. White mink sold % percent at prices 20 percent lower than De- cember.
