LIBERTY LOAN Tagging

Washington, d. c., June 8-The
Liberty Loan is tagging on the face
of official bank returns, behind the
hopes of treasury officials and their
expectations OF what it would be on
this, the twcnty-fourth day of receiv-
ing subscriptions.
On the face of actual subscriptions
received at the treasury the loan will
have to be taken at the rate of $780,
100000 day between now and the
closing date if the entire $2.000,000,-
900 is to be subscribed.
The average of subscriptions thus
far received has been approximately
$54000,000 day Officials had hop
ed that by this time an over-subscrip-
ton would have been actually, receiv-
ed.
Many banks throughout the coun-
try apparently have been negligent in
advising the treasury of progress
made thus far in obtaining subscrip-
tons. The location of these banks
is understood to be countrywide.
When asked if figures for each federal
reserve district were available, Assist
ant Secretary Crosby said tonight
that the figures might follow later

reported by different districts.
Mr.. Crosby said he hoped that those
now showing badly would improve at
once.
