WASHINGTON, November 22.-From
the annual report of United States

very iavorably with those OF the pre-.
vious fiscal year, and show an increase
from customs, internal revenue and
sales of public lands OF $50 ,Sll ,505, and a
decrease in those from miscellaneous
sources of only Sl02,O79.
The expenditures show the slight in.
crease Of S695,014 in the aggregate as
compared with the previous fiscal year,
caused bv IN increase oil SD ,S95, ,0I0 in
payments on account of the Interior
Department, but shows a decrease
of 5000 965 in the expenditures
for interest and premium on public debt
or civil and miscellaneous accounts, and
for war and navy department. The bal.
ance of the public money on deposit iE

S4l7 7,223,7S7. Receipts during the year

1878, to SG3 936, ,G53 in 1879, and to
Si2, ,iC3, Slain 1851. The steady decrease,
the Treasurer says, is due in a great
measure TO the withdrawal .! notes,
caused by the presentation OF clearing
house certificates for redemption. The
amount OF these certticatas outstanding
have been reduced from $3l ,33o, COO in
1879 to g, ,915, ,OO0in 1880

be found in the falling ctr in not. re-
