No oversubscription Allotment,

While the aggregate sales of VIC
tory liberty loan bonds exceeded the
offering, there will be no overallot-
ment, as the small subscribers, of
amounts up to $4,000 and under, took
but so per cent of the loan. leaving
the Secretary of the Treasury free to
apportion the other 40 per cent among
the large subscribers. Hopes of ex-
cess allotment were based on the be-
lief that the small buyers would file
subscriptions for the amount of the
loan. but they really took but $685.

Brokers' Loans, s1,ooo,ooo,o 900.

Wall street brokers loans have reach
ed and promise to cross the billion-dol-
lar mark, unless the size of the obliga-
tons, with the coming three holidays
shall lead to general liquidation and
reduction, which does not appear to be
on the schedule
Naturally the long-sustained advance
and the very large profits in sight will
cause much profit taking before tomor-
row at the close, for no ono knows just
what will happen in three days, al
though the market has long been dis
counting peace and the signing of the
pace treaty by the German representa-
tives.
Since the LIST of March the loans have
expanded $500, 100000.
The money pool went out of exist
ence last January, reserving the
right, however, to intervene again il
it saw fit.
The Industrial demand for loans is
likely to increase very materially in
the near future and this may have
the effect of reducing the loans to
brokers.

Convention Meeting Today.

The full committee on the proposed
District of Columbia state" bank con-
vention will meet at 4 o'clock this
afternoon to take final action as to
dates and location of the proposed
convention. There seems to be a very
general opinion among the bankers
that the convention should be held
on the dates previously agreed upon.
as any later date would interfere with
fall business and might find many
bankers just returning from vacations
and not inclined toward additional out
ings
Some bankers are of the opinion that
the program should be given out, as
nearly as possible. some time in ad-
vance of the meeting with the subjects
of papers. in order that there may be
careful and thoughtful debate that
would add to the value of the gath
ering.
There is no reason why the District
of Columbia, which is larger than
some states. and progressive in all
ways, should not have it's state" con-
