Ii appear the receipts from customs for the second
third and foHIth quarters ofthe fiscal year 1884 we're
6imDisbt from the pre- ssure in the money market
and other Causes, as expected IN my former report.
They kept up from importations growing out Of
large exports Of provisions caused by the scarcity in
England and France and the expected demands OF
the European war; and by the shipments TO this country
of foreign manufacturers, who owing TO the want Of
Accommodating market in those countries, sought tho
benefit Of ours,
They were also kept up by greater uniformity and
better valuation of foreign goods, and dlmoudon
IN smUge ling, caused by increased vigilance on the
psrt of the officers. The foreign and inter
nal immigration to the new States aud Territories
combined with speculative investments 10 the public
lands greatly increased the receipts from tina, source;
that Instead of q reduced revenue, anticipated
the receipts have been greater than in any previous
year.
IL also appears from the statement of the receipts
of the fret quarter of the fiscal year 1884, that the
ceps both from customs and lands have been greater
for the quarter than fair proportion Of the estmate1
receipts for the year. THIS has grown of the same
causes that kept up the receipts from customs and
lands for the last three qu of the fiscal year
1854 aided az to lands, 10 extent, by the effect
Of the act graduating the price, which operated in
favor OF the receipts, for the latter half Of the
quarter
The receipts from customs for the remaining three
quaI eIs Of the year cannot be in proportion b those
OF The first quarter, owing TO the Reciprocity Treaty
iDiroC uciDg tree trade with the British cooaies and
the short crops in almost all portions of the country
which must materially affect the expectation OF proyi-
Stops and the return importatons, and diminish the
ability TO purchase and pay for foreign goods. The
effect OF scarcity of provisions with cooseauent
high prices, has always been 10 diminish the con-
sumption OF other articles OF customary USE and may
be expected to operate the iHport4tOns for the
mang three quarters Of the year. As it certainly will
on the consumption.
Moreover the United States have enjoyed long
period Of agricultural, manufacturing. aud CONNER
cal prosperity under extended back and other credit
facilities, backed by the Immense production of gold
from the mines Of California This has led 10 large
speculative Investments in railroads. lands lots,
houses, ships stocks, and other enterprises and to
the Decessares of life Tine bank aud credit facilities
have been in check for than year. with pros
pect of continued check; while the large and OK.

In the estimated receipts from customs for the three
remaining quarters Of the current fiscal year. the ef-
fects Of the Reciprocity Treaty and reduced mporta
tions have been considered; while, also the sans
causes will operate in the sale of the public lands
but the effect of the act graduating the price has
been considered sufficient to keep up the receipts
from the latter source to wha, they for the fiscal
year 1854
The estimate Of receipts for the fiscal year ls56 has
been MADE from al expectation that the same
