WASHINGTON, Jan. %. Chairman
Springer OF the Ways and Means commit
tee received from Secretary Foster Of the
treasury statement showing the condi-
ton of the treasury and estimated condi-
tion at the end of the present and end OF
) the next fiscal year. The s. settlement shows
during the first six months OF the present
fiscal year receipts from all sources 1924,
as, 215, expenditures, $3.50, 81, 0O6, leav-
ing the excess OF revenues over ordinary
expenditures, 50, S4s, 2O9. Cash in the
treasury, including gold reserve, July 1,
1892, S132, 143, 426 and Dec. 81, 1892, $780,
O92, 5SS. Total estimated revenues for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1898. are 1885,
671 $50, total estimated expenditures,
S464, ST., $50, leaving an estimated surplus
of receipts over expenditures for the cur
rent fiscal year exactly g. 600, 600. The
estimated cash balance available June 80,
1893, is placed at S12O, 1872, 377, which in
eludes SO, 900, 600 for the gold reserve
fund. For the next fiscal year, ending
June 80, 1894, the secretary estimates the
revenues from all sources at S490, 121,-
365 and the estimated expenditures,
which, however, do not appear to include
miscellaneous and extraordinary eXpendl-
lures, S457, 261 1856, or an estimated sur
plus of $50, $50, 900. To this the secretary
adds $40, 992, BIT cash balance above the
gold reserve estimated available June 30,
1898, making the estimated available bal
ance juno 80, 1894, of S53, $50 407, from
which must be deducted $1,000, 900 for the
redemption OF past due bonds, fractional
currency and national bank notes, and
81 100000 for probable payments on mail
subsidiary contracts, leaving the balance,
It is estimated that $40, OOO, 600 in con-
tracts will be payable in 1894, which
would bring the real working balance
down to s., $50. 407. The expenditures
on account of pensions estimated
in this statement for the next
fiscal year amount to 1856, S31 $50, or an
increase over the amount which it is esti--
mated will be spent for pensions this fiscal
year of only S., 496, $780, The secretary's
statement for 1894 shows SAC, 279, 0SS con-
tract liabilities to be deducted from
S47, $50, 407 of the balance above the gold
reserve estimated as available cash, but
does not show clearly whether $50, POS, 1858
of the contracts to be paid in 1892 has, or
has not been deducted in the estimate
above the gold reserve fund of $50, 1872, 377
as estimated in the cash balance available
June 80, 1893, though it is presumed it
was deducted in figuring the balance.
Very little is allowed to the sinking fund
in these estimates, and the supplemental
statement places the estimated balance
due this fund on June 30, 1894, at $685.,
901 ,6S7.
Twenty-Five million dollars OF contract
liabilities are included in the estimates
for this year, and therefore does not come
out of the estimated cash balance at the
end of this fiscal year.
