STATE OF THE TREASURY

We give the following brief abs,rac, from

been increasd 10 the sum of Sc GO .I37 So
The receipts in the iirst half of the year from
ali sources, amount 10 3 Is, 1877, 49,. The
receipts for The last bali year will, in a meas
sure, depend upon the action OF Congress with
regard To the duty bonds they are estimat-
ed al about 81 600, 900, making an aggre.
gate for the year, including the reserve of
50 900 900 with its increase, OF S26 ,S57 ,3I9.

10 meet existing appropriations during the

600 600 making for the whole year S32.-
1873 So4. Any new appropriations made du-
ring the present session, will require cor.
respondent addition 10 this amount But
