The gross revenue for the year ending July s. 1913
amounted to 60 being increase of 500 $50
the income of the previous year. while in the reve
fer the year ending Oct g. the decrease was as
above named Ofthe for the year ending July
1913, about $lCOOo00 obtained from the long line
of custom houses. The public debt amounts about
$14 ooo most Of which formed by thu construc
ton of public works while the gross receipts of these
works the past year only $685. 1885, from which are
to be deducted the expenses of maintenance, SO.
The traffic returns of French railways for each
month of the present year ending July last forciby
exhibit the deplorabe effects Of the revolutions upon
commerce and general trade. The carriage of passen
gers and goods ofevery description has very much de-
clned and of the receipts have been proper
tonably small The number of passengers, by all the
lines, during the month Of July, 325565, against
$685. l27 at the period of last year, and against
37T in 1896 The receipts had been fo97 $50 during
the month In the present year. against f13s4,-
O32 in July IS47 and 1854 1O8 in 1896 The total
ceipts from January July inclusive this year, had
been 2e against oo5 OBJ to the time last
year and slS7 In 1885, for the period This
decrease in income Of these works is the o.
the derapgemen in commercial affairs caused by the
revolution. The great reduction in the amount of
foreign travel both from England and from Germany,
has tended much to the falling OIL in the receipts The
decrease in revenue however, has not been so large
might have been expected from such revulsion in the
financial world, the railways Of Great Britain,
where political affairs have been comparatively quiet
have been much less productive this year than last
Railways in this country have not been productive
this year anticipated compared with last although
nearly every line exhibits moderate increase. This,
however, can be satisfactorily accounted for. Last
year. every public work in the United States
was pushed to its utmost for facilities to trans.
stus in consequence of the extensive foreign demand
and high prices current in all the seaport markets.
The passenger traffic unusually large the
country generally was in prosperous condition. and
al could afford to travel This year it has been just the
reverse have net realized such high prices for
products and the arrangement of trade caused by the
revolutions and revusiens in Europe have reduced
our and restricted the Of such large
portion of population that there has been less ira
vel and the receipts Of all railroad companies from
this source, consequently reduced The movements in
breadstufs and produce generally, in the Northern
States have not been active aud the freight traffic
Is much reduced We have not therefore realised such
increase this year expected but there has not
been any reduction compared with last year. All the
Northern companies have than held their own
while those of the South have in consequence of the
increase in the cotton crop, done much larger bust
than usual The aggregate returns Of all the
roads in the United State, will believe, show Q
derate increase In receipts which is than those
of any other country will do.
