1/ The combined total mortgage holdings of savings and loan associations and insurance companies
include a small amount of nonresidential debt.
2/ Data compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board - Savings and Home Financing Source Book.
3/ Data compiled by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - Assets> Liabilities, and Capital
Accounts - Commercial and Mutual Savings Banks.
4/ Based on reports published in The Spectator Insurance Year Book of the 20 largest life in­
surance companies in District states and selected on the basis of asset size. These
companies account for about 90 percent of all assets of life insurance companies domiciled
in District states.
5/ Based on a survey of mortgage companies conducted in August i960 by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Atlanta, Only the mortgages serviced for financial institutions located outside District
states were included in this total. If mortgages serviced for institutions located within
District states had been Included, some double-counting may have occurred since a portion of
the total may have been counted in the holdings of local insurance companies.
