CARTERTON

LIBERTY LOAN QUOTA NOT REACHED. Carterton did not reach its quota in the Liberty Loan, but this must | be considered very satisfactory. The , < amount handled at the Post Office on . Saturday was £1456, and for the whole ' period £23,246. This included bonds ’ £6634, stock £7913. and national invest- ' meats £8699. The amount handled by the trading banks was £29.170, thus making a grand total of £52,416. This ■ amount would have been considerably ] increased but for the fact that amounts '■ of £4OOO, £2OOO and £lOOO were included in Masterton’s total. £4OOO also went to Wellington which really should have gone through Carter ton.
