reduced estimates for the support of the army.
In the quartermasters department and that of the
ordnance the reductions are large, and in the en-
gineers department considerable. There is a re-
duction of million dollars in the estimate for
clothing and equipage. 1t is predicted, upon the
idea that in the present capacity of the county to
manufacture clothing, it is not necessary to accu.
mulae supplies of that kird far beyond the actual
demand for current use. The exhaustion supplies
