Oil demand likely to rise during '90s
---
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Rising prices and growing demand soon will push the U.S. bill for imported oil higher than the nation's 1990 trade deficit, former Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger told Congress yesterday.
U.S. ECONOMY
Savings and loans lose $19.17 billion
"That we will have a price surge in the decade seems to me to be beyond question." he told the Senate Energy Committee. Prices could rise by 30 percent or 40 percent during the 1990s.
U. S. demand for oil will grow by about 2 percent a year until prices increase steeply, Schlesinger said. In a recent month, the United States imported more foreign sources to meet a record 54 per cent of its oil demand.
Schlesinger said that U.S. imports should reach as much as 11 million barrels a day by 1995, compared with a net average of just more than 7 million barrels a day in 1989.
WASHINGTON — The savings and loan industry lost a record $19.17 billion in 1989 after posting its worst fourth-quarter loss, the government reported yesterday.
The Associated Press
Analysts said the erosion would continue this year, although at a slower pace.
The fourth-quarter loss totaled $6.5 billion, up from $4.97 billion in the July-September period, and pushed into a third consecutive record deficit.
The red ink was $13.4 billion in 1988 and $7.8 billion in 1987.
James Freund, acting chief economist of the Office of Thrift Supervision, said most of the losses were suffered by institutions that either had been taken over by the government or were scheduled to be taken over under the S&L bailout law passed by Congress in August.

liquidation "Freed said"
The RTC, or Resolution Trust Corp., is charged in the bailout legislation with disposing of the failed institutions. It desolved 52 SALs and announced plans recently to close or sell another 140 by the end of June.
The RTC has been criticized recently for not acting quickly enough.
Mortgage rates curb home sales
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Rising mortgage interest rates last month curbed demand for existing homes, causing sales to drop 2.3 percent to their slowest pace in seven months, a real estate trade group said yesterday.
The National Association of Realtors said resales of single-family homes dipped to 3.44 million units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate as mortgage interest rates remained in the double digits.
The February sales rate was the lowest since a .338 million unit pace
last July and matched a 3.44 million rate in August. Existing homes, which represent about 80 percent of home sales, posted a sales rate of 3.52 million units in January.
Norman D. Flynn, the Realists' president, said the February pace "shows considerable market strength and sets the tone for a healthy sales year." The trade group expects existing-home sales to total 3.44 million units this sale, down 0.1 percent from 1989.
