The Speaker laid before the House

Treasury department,

The Hon. John w. Taylor,
Speaker OF the House Of Representatives.
SIR: IN obedience to a resolution Of
the house of representatives. of the 4th
instant, inslrucIi"g the secretary Of the
treasury t. report to the house, ga
statement Of the money in the treasury
on the Isl of January, 1897, together
with a statement Of the money in the
hands of the treasurer, as Agent for
the War. and Navy Departments. on
that day." have tho honor to state,
that there was in the Treasury on that
day the sum Of SI.O76.26l 10, and in
the hands Of the Treasurer, as Agent
for the War and Navy Departments.
tho sum of ,o5O,s.S; e5, viz: for the
War Department., 25l.37S 90, and for
the Navy Department, 10000 sc.
, Of the sum of I,O76.27l ls, in the
Treasury on the LIST of January, 1921,
! 100000 were paid by the Ba"k of the
United States, OF the SOth of December
1920, but which were payable on the
Isl day of January thereafter, and were
estimated in the receipts into the trea-
sur, for 1921. lfthis sum is deducted,
the amount in the Treasury OH that
day will be 576,27l 10. If it is con-
sidered a part of the receipts Of 1890,
the estimated rec ipts for 1921 will be
diminished by that amount. With this
explanation, it will not be material
whether it is placed to the credit of tho
ono or the other year: the general re-
suit of the two years will he the same.
The receipts Of the 4th quarter, with
the exception Of ayments made at
Mobile and n. Orleans; in the two
last weeks of December, 1890, and in
the Whole month at most Of the lard
offices, are ascertalprd to be 4,C45,5S5
90. Ia the Annual Report, the receipts
of the 4th quarter we're estimated at
S,450.0UO dollars: tie actual re- eipts,
therefore, exceed those that were csti-
mated, by 6i5.5so 90. and by 1858
90. ii th, payment made by the Bank
OH the 80 h of December be deducted
FROM the receipts OF 1870.

means for tie Ath quarter of that year,
The amount at the disposition ol tie

mcnted 10 6,O33,4l6 So.
Il is asccrtalncd that tic payments
from The treasury, during that quarter,
have amounted 10 4.957, l45 "a, which
being deducted from the estimated
means of that quarter, will leave in the
Treasury, as already stated, on the lst
day of January. 1891, the sum of ~
O.6,27l dolls. 10. But, il the 500, COO
dollars, paid by the Bank, be deducted
