lions at the Treasury Department 1t is believed
the next public statement win show another large
reduction of the Indebtedness, though not near so
large as was exhibited the Ist Of the present
month. The receipts from customs and internal
revenue are considered good for the duh season.
Estimating the receipts and expenses OF govern
ment for the remainder OF July the basis OF what
they have been to the present date, the debt state
ment on the LIST Of August will show a reduction OF
upwards OF s5,o000oo.
