The Turkish Budget.
Onlcla information received here shows that &C.
cording to the last financial statement published by
the Turkish government, the budget for the year
1872 is settled as follows:-
Receipts. 1877 442 purses, or $50 97s 235
expenditures. $50 $50 purses, or 93,323 4A
Deficit 1885, 4o purses, or 3,345,i0
N thp nj m WAS
this:-
Receipts 84O 1853 purses, or SS3,75.553
Expenditures. 2,067 purses, or 99,246,8GQ
Deficit 7l20O4 purses, or 1881 ,WJ
From these figures 1t appears that although the
expenditures still exceed the receipts yet the diff
ference considerably reduced since last year.
1t is also to be observed that through the steady
deavors of the actual administration this balance
will be easily covered by q superior value Of the
revenue and the new tobacco excise which was re-
Gently inaugurated.
