Alnrge number OF subscriptions to the British
war loan OF ESQ. COO. 900 were received yesterday
by j. p. Morgan a Co II twas understood at the
close Of business that no further subscriptions
would DO received by the firm In view Of the an
u~cipated early closing Of the subscription IN Eng
land.
British cable ad vices reported that the loan had
alre ady been heavily oversubscribed II was
known In Wall Street that. besides the subscrlp-
tons received by j. p, Morgan & Co, some large
American subscriptions for the British bonds had
been made by prominent local banking firms
which cabled 10 England direct The general
opinion in the financial distriyt was that the
allotment here would be comparatively small,
and would not have any percepuble effect upon
the sterling exchange market aside from the
stifening Of rates a little. The plan for payments
is So easy and covers so long a period that no
necessity Of shipping gold to pay the American
subscription is Appreciated
The ONLY large American subscription to the
British loan made public as yet is that OF the
Mutual Life Insurance Company. Treasurer
Cromwell, Of that company stated yesterday that
the company had subscribed for 81 .OOO. 600 Of the
loan The Company at first Offered TO take this
amount outright, and even now hopes to secure 1t.
The company's offer was made before the books
were ONO ally opened for subscriptions. and, II Ia
believed by the Mutual Life officers, stands to-
day as the largest subscription made in this
country.
