It Is Estimated That the Government
 wni He Far Behind by January.


 wni He Far Behind by January.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The revenues of the government have fallen almost SIS .000, 900 for the first IA days this month, compared with the last half of August. The receipts from customs are $9,227, ,000, against se,73e, GOO for the last half of August, while the receipts from internal revenue are S2, 2,292 COG, compared with $20, ,634 900 for the latter half of August.
 The loss is due to enormous sums paid on whisky withdrawn just before the in- creased ta1 went into effect. The re- ceipts from the internal revenue are now about $45O, 900 below the normal and 1t is not expected will reach the normal again before Jan. next. Treasury receipts are now expected te average about $22, GOO 0e0 . month until Jan. 1, the normal receipts averaging about S33, 100000. This estimate leaves out of account any increase in importa- ions arising from operations of the newi tariff law. Expenditures average about $34, ,00O,0 ,000, bat without the sugar bounty, they will be reduced to about $3i ,000, ,000. For the next four months, it is estimated the receipts will be about ssa. 900, ,O00 and the exp nditures about $l24, GOO, 600.
 On Jan. the collection of the half years income tax will swell the receipts to about slO0,0Oo,O0O. so at the begin ming of the next current year the treas ury will be on the wrong side ot the ledger about s24, GOO. 600 on the first half of the fiscal year. There is to be de- ducted from this, however, s7,OO0'oVo, which the treasury gained during July and August. leaving a net loss to the treasury of the first half of the hscai year about ST, ,OQO. .o0e.......

where is the Gold comine Fromp ?

The fact that a good deal Of gold has
been Withdrawn from the treasury within
the last few days has given rise to the
impression that most Of the gold that will
be needed to pay for the $50 0oQ.oo0 of bonds
now being offered by the government viii
be obtained from the treasury. II this i'm
preston should prove TO be correct the
gold reserve will not be much larger after
the sale Of the bonds is completed than it
was before the bonds were offered
A day or two ago a statement was made
that the bonds would be paid for in new
gold-that is, in gold not drawn from the
treasury-so that the gold reserve would
amount to more than SlG0001000 after the
payment for the bonds had been COM
pleted. So many statements are being
made all the while. however. relative to
the bond matter that it is about impos-
sible to get at the truth.
What purports TO be an authoritative
statement relative to the amount of gold
the treasury win get from the bond sale
is to the effect that the treasury will gain
about Si0.00OOO0 in gold and Sl8000Q0O in
legal tender and treasury notes. If this
statement is correct the gold reserve viii
not reach 100000 coo, because, from the
present store of gold-a little over 500
0gQ.00O-about slS,0o0,0O0 will be withdrawn
by exchanging treasury notes and legal
tenders for it. With $SO,O000OO of gold in
the treasury, however. and the amount
of other money considerably increased
the President win not have to ask con-
gress for assistance in paying the current
expenses of the government or in main
tanning the equality of the different kinds
of money. II he were compelled to ask
for such assistance he would, no doubt,
bring on financial debate that might
occupy a very large part of the time of the
session. Even without any requests from
the President for financial aid there is
likely to be a good deal of sparring as to
the wisdom of the action of the govern
ment in issuing bonds without consulting
congress about the matter

The Nsw Form OF Cotton Ra1s.

In letter published in the Home and
Farm. Edward Atkinson, the well known
statistician ana writer on economic sub
iects. gives his views of the new form of
cotton bale that is turned out by an in
vention which has just been established at
Waco. Tex. by the Bessonette Compress
and Manufacturing Company. The atten-
tiou of the members of the cotton ex-
change Of this city was called TO this in
venuou last summer. but they gave no
evidence tnat they were greatly impressed
by it. It may be that they failed to ex-
anime it thoroughly. Mr. Atkinson ap-
pears TO regard it with great favor He
points out a number Of objections to the
bale that is turned out by this new in
vention, but says they can be easily over
come.
The chief objection he makes is that the
cotton IS compressed too tightly at the
center of the bale. The bale is round, and
is wound upon an iron pipe. At the mill
it has been found difficult to remove the
last few laps. If there were less pressure
when the first laps were put upon the pipe
the objection to which Mr.. At
knson calls attention would be
obviated. Mr.. Atkinson. calls at,
tention to a number of other improve
ments that might be made that would
tend to increase the value of the iuven-
ton.
The mills like the new style of bale for
various reasons. one is the bale can be
handled to SO much better advantage
than the one now generally in use that
they are willing to pay little more for
the cotton that is put up in the new form
Another is the cotton is clean and dry.
1t is asserted that the new bale would
If generally adopted, effect great saving
ito the cotton planters. 1t avoids waste
and makes it possible TO put the cotton
into a market a much better condition
than it is marketed al present.
No doubt the Waco invention will be
pretty thoroughly tested this season, and
if it has genuine merit it's use will be-
come general. 1t will be sometime. how
ever, before cotton planters win feel able
to give up their cotton gins and invest
money in the new machines. They will
have to be thoroughly satisfied first that
it is to their interest to make the change
