The Treasury Statement.

A statement of the receipts and balances is
published by the Secretary of the Treasury
for the quarter ending September 80. The
balance in the Treasury June 80, 1869, bv
this statement, is Ss,379, 800 "a in excess of
the balance as published in the debt state
ment of July 1. 1869; and the balance in the
Treasury, September 30, 1869, by this state
ment is $4651 ,194 90 in excess of the balance
as published in the debt statement of Octo-
Der l, 1869. These differences are accounted
for by the fact that the expenditures are all
known and included IN the monthly debt
statements, while the Receipts being taken
from the returns in the office at the close OF
business on the last day of each month do
not include the entire receipts for the quar-
ter. By comparing the receipts and expendi-
lures for the quarter ending September 30,
1869, with that ending September 30, 1868,
the decrease in expenditures for this quarter
of the present year is 17,11S.307 AZ, and
the increase in receipts is S14, 249 210 35.
