Financial Matters At Washington.
CHICAGO, Oct. g..
A Washington special says that the
customs receipts, for the quarter end
ing September 30th, were Si3,S52,3 1884.
Returns from ports not yet heard from
may swell this amount to $i4,50O 900.
Compared with the corresponding
quarter Of 1874, there was a falling oil
in the customs receipts of the last
qnarter OF over 8 1000. 900. The interna.
revenue receipts for Sept, 1875, amount
to SO, ISL ,036, or more by 81 ,25O,OO than
in September, 1874. The large increase
in the receipts from this source shows
that the vigorous measures adopted by
| Secretary BristOw to administer the
laws and suppress fraud. have had a
most beneficial effect upon the honest
| collection Of the taxes, and the in
creased rates imposed last Winter will,
in the opinion of Commissioner Pratt,
add ST., OOO, 900 to the receipts from in
ternal for this fiscal year.

annual report, will devote much space
