$500, 2,8l2, ,447, or $40, 46S,535 less than
those of the year before. The net Or
dinary expenditures, exclusive of the
amounts paid in premium on bonds
purchased, wepe 1855, 372, ,6s4, an in
crease of $50, ,636, 1Os.
The surplus revenues were thus cut
down from S105, ,344, 496 to S37, 239, 762,
which last summer was applied to the
reduction of the public debt The pos
tai revenues amounted to S65, 762, 9OS
and the expenditures to S72,O67, $50,
an increase of about $4,000, 900
on both sides. On June 30, 1890, there
stood charged to the treasurer on the
books of the department a balance of
S69l, ,527, 403, representing the excess of
| previous receipts over expenditures.
To this was added the receipts of the
year from all sources amounting to
1856, ,S21, 305, which made an aggregate of
81, 457. 34S, ,7OS to be accounted for The
disbursements authorized by the war
rants of the department., including
those on account of the public debt.
were S73l, 12G,376 There was left
ST2G, 800, 33e, for which the treasurer
was required to be able to produce
cash or other assets.
The reduction effected during the
year in the principel of the bonded debt
and the circulating notes which can
not be reissued amounted to SIG, $780,
273 and required an expenditure of
S126 991494. including the premium on
bonds purchased This sum was made
up by taking $50, 751,731 from the re-
serve in the treasury in addition to the
surplus revenues of the year. The con-
sequent reduction in the annual in
terest charge was $4,322, ,002.
The amount of money in the country
June 80 exclusive of certificates in cir
culation for which the treasury held
deposits, was Sl,G76, O7s, 1Oa, of which
$3.50, ,4l2,ol9 belonging to the treas
ury and Sl,495, ,666,OS3 was in cir.
culation. There was not loss
of $4,000. 900 of gold, a net gain
of upward of S4O,O00,O00 of other
money, and consequent contraction
of about $9000,000 in the whole vol
ume There is an average increase of
So, 100000, from the end of June to the
end of December, in the amount of
money actually in circulation, followed
by an average decrease of 1900, 900
from the end of December to the
end of June. The increase realized
in the last year has been nearly double
this average of SIS, 100000, and in the
last two years the average has been
exceeded by S4S, 900, 900. Unusually large
amounts of notes of small d.nomina-
tions have been sent out to the west
and south since July 1. The
aggregate up to the middle ot
November reached upward of $40,
100000, as against 6l,COO,OOO TO,
, the whole preceding year. A meas
urable improvement in the condition
of the coinage, particularly the silver
has been effected, nearly 81 ZOO, 900 O.
uncurrent coins in the treasury having
; been restored to full weight AS tht
result of this and of some special eff
forts in other directions the amour
of fractional silver in the treasury ha,
been much reduced.

deposits for the withdrawal

to nearly $4,000, 600, while the re

deposits of the new , per cents. eN
ceeded the Withdrawals of the oil

of new notes amounting to abou

has been experienced in tn

through the per cent. fund owing
: the narrowness of the margin with
. which it is necessary to work. Man

. and the majority of them all have n
more than 81, $50 each.
