The Federal Reserve District of New
York has oversubscribed its share OF
the Liberty Loan by s16,000,000. This
was shown yesterday when the Liberty
Loan Committee reported that the
total amount subscribed in the district
up to noon Saturday last was S6l6,OOO,-
600. The amount apportioned TO this
district by the Treasury Department
was $500 100000. The committee, how
ever, has set the mark at $1,000, 100000.
New York City at the end of last
week had contributed S550,0O0,OOO and
other sections of the Second Federal
Reserve District S66,000,000, leaving
1884 100000 to be raised by Friday
noon, when the subscription lists
close. Of this amount the city expects
to raise s1O0OOO,OO0 and the balance
will have to come from the rest OF the
state, Fairfield County, Conn, and the
northern counties of New Jersey.
The statistics covering the subscrlp-
tions to Saturday noon showed an ap-
preciable increase over the figures COM
piled on the preceding Thursday. Many
sections of the state which had made
no returns at the time OF the earliest
report sent in a substantial portion OF
their allotments.
