WASHINGTON, October 3l.-Thc Treas

this before, because the computation made
necessary by. reason OF the extension oil
The appropriations Of last year ,hirty.Gye

this should be added the Geneva award,
amounting TO abont Sl0,000,000, postoilice

Sinking Fund, Sl2G,N0,000, making

appropriated as u specific fund, and will
mol all be used this year. Nevertheless il
Is Il charge against the Treasury, Is set
apart MS Il special fund and can not prop.
erly be counted in the cash in the Treasury.
There Is not much probability that the
expenditure under the bead Of Indefinite
appropriations will be less than the Sl2B,.
100000 estimated by tho Treasury, SO that
the total current demand liabilities OF the
Government during the fiscal year OF 1881,

already passed is $4.5 ,42S, ,ll757.
On the other side Of the ledger is to DO

Is tho estimate Of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and wEicl, will not be exceeded
by any considerable sum. n, PIX
No one in the Treasury thinks that the
receipts can exceed $400,000,0O0, and Of
course the S42OOO,0OO OF postal receipts
above the deficiencies are TO be added to
the revenues, 10 that the total revenue Of
the Government for the fiscal year, accord

As the current demand liabilities are $50.
