The State Land Bank of the Nobihty has recently published a report 

 for 1915. From this it appears that the 3^ear was characterized by a dimi- 

 nution of the bank's mortgage business. This business had gained a 

 really notable ascendancy in the beginning of the twentieth century but 

 diminished under the reaction from the influence of the war. 



§ I. Mortgage Business. 



The number of loans made on mortgages by the Bank of the Nobility 

 in 1 913, the time when the rise of which we have spoken reached its highest 

 point, was 1425.
