nearly $l4,O 900, which is the largest re-
duction ever madefor July ofpreyious years
and nearly $4,O0o,00o in excess of the re-
duction made for July, 1891. This anspi-
cious opening for the new year is attributable
to larger increase from customs compared
with last year and to reduction in the in
