.Id,ooo, resulting from a falling off In the re-
ceipts on amount of spirits, and also from hops,
owing to the collection of the duty having been
deferred. The decrease under Excise would
have been greater but for an increased receipt
from malt duty. In Stamps then is an increase
of £78,745, representing the produes of stamps
on proceedings in the Probate and Matrimonial
Courts, the Succession Duty, and to some extent
also the stamps on bankers' cheques. Land and
Assessed Taxes show • decrease of £lB,OOO,
accounted for by a variation in the period of
collection. The Post-office revenue shows an
Improvement to the extent of £115,000. A Mia-
oellaneous Increase of £262,252 is due to arrears
of receipts arising from the sale of old stores and
4ths recovery of unappropriated balances A
deerease of £2,477,537 in the receipts of Income
Tax more than absorbs the surplus of other
Items, and leaves a net decrease on the quarter
of £1,718,217. We have only to remember that
the war ninepenoe figured in the return last year
and is absent in this, that last Michaelmas we
were paying sixteenpenoe in the pound and that
we now pay sevenpenoe, in order to perceive that
important as the falling off may be in the cal-
culations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
it has no significance as respects the public
wealth. The net loss of revenue in the quarter,
as compared with the corresponding period of
last year, is about £1,600,000, which, putting
the decreased Income Tax out of consideration,
is a positive Moreau of some £850,000. The
Increase to be set off against the loss occasioned
by the reduction of the Income Tax is in round
numbers £300,000 on Customs ; £212,000 on
Excise; 12.82,000 on Stamps; 07,000 on
