SUBSCRIPTIONS
 FOR WAR LOAN
 ARE FILING UP

London, Feb. 17.-A tremendous ef- fort was made throughout Great Bri- tain Friday, the last day for subscrip tions to the British war loan, to bring in every available shilling. The lass minute rush, so characteristic of Bri- tish investors, was expected to result in. very large total for the day as the eapstone> for the huge ingathering of the last month.
 Although no figures have been made public and none will be avail able for several weeks, there seems to be no~question in financial circles that the loan will be a success all most beyond the mosr sanguln- expec- tatioEs. How large a total is neces- sary to make the loan a success is a question to which no definite answer is available. The national accounts indicate that 5o6s sO06, 600 pounds new money is needed to insure b ...--.. slate for the government on entering the next financial year on April 1. The government expects to obtain not only this amount. but enough more to car the new financial year.,
 The last day of the loan effort found London placarded with appeals from end to end. Suburban banks have been kept open we'll into the ev- ening to accommodate persons desir- ous of investing, while the war loan counters of the post offices, broker age houses and insurance offices have been flooded with large and small ap- plications.

SHIPPERS PLEASED
 BY NEW REGULATIONS
 ON EXPORT BUSINESS

Chicago, Feb. Awhile leading representatives of transportation lines, manufacturer and finance ad- mitted that the embargo on freight and the congestion at railroad ter minals in the East and the Middle West presented serious obstacles, they were optimistic today concern ing the developments of the near fu- ture.
 The decision of the British admir- a1ty to permit neutral vessels sailing from American ports for Europe to unrego examination in Halifax in- stead of in Kirkwall was pointed to as likely to bring relief from the congestion in a short time.
 George M. Reynolds, president of the Continental & Commercial Ma tional bank, said: ''The embargo sit uation has brought a great deal of complaint from big shippers, manu- lecturers, wholesalers and already we have had several requests for in- formation as to possible loans to carry big business men who are feel ing the pressure. The situation will do no harm financially, at least for the present The only effect swill be a heTthy tightening of the money market
 John P. Griffin, president of the Chicago board of trade, said he be- lieved shipping conditions will show great improvement within the next AS hours, especially in the shipment of grain. F
 .'There may be some trouble in the distribution of grain for domestic use at Eastern points owing to congested freight conditions" said MT. Griffin, 'but grain should be moving freely in short time, especially for ex- port.''
