Governments is undoubtedly the result Of the an
pouncement in Congress by Mr.. Dawes that the pub
lie debt did not reach $50, 100000, and that the
average expenditure did not exceed a million per
day. These figures are confirmed by other authori-
ties at Washington. and have greatly increased con.
fdenco in Government securities. L. has been
generally supposed that tho daily expenditure,
were between two and three millions per
day. Mr.. Chase expresses the belief that the
public debt at the end OF tho present fiscal year will
not vary three millions from bis estimate in his an
nual report. For Shares, the market WAS rather
