l "AShlN6lON, bulv l.- uc bTCuSui y deficit for the fiscal year just closed will be found by to-days debt state. ment to be approximately $43, 250, 000 | This, added to last years deficit of near ly S70. 900, 900, makes the excess of ex- ] penditures over receipts since June 30, 1893, about S1l3, 250.0 900. The total re- ceipts of the government this fiscal year exclusive of postal revenues, amounts to nearly $3l3.000. 090, and the expenditures S356, 250, 900. of which pensions took Sl4l, 391, 523. Last year the aggregate receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, were S297, 722, 0l9, and the expenditures S36;, ,525,27o. The re- ceipts this year, therefore, were $l5,- 27S, GOO greater than fast, and the ex- penditures about II, ,275. .O00. The postal service deficit is about Sll.O00, 900, which is considerably in excess of that of any recent year.
 The internal revenue department of the government has contributed this | year to the receipts nearly Sl43. 900, GOO, as against little more than Sl4T, ,000,- GOO last year. The customs this year makes better showing than last by about $2l, l,OO0,000 Last year the receipts from this source amounted to nearly S132, 1000, 900, and this year they | approximate Sl53, 100000. Of this amount sugar contributed about ST. | 350,00O.
 To-day debt statement shows an available cash balance of about S195,- GOO, 000, of which about S107, 500, 900 is gold reserve. This reserve will include payment in full of the last bond issue, but the statement will show a counter debt charge of only S3l, l57, TOO in bonds, or one-half of the whole amount issued. In explanation of this seeming error it is said the formal transfer of the London half of the bonds has not yet been made. The expenditures for July will be exceptionally heavy. Pen sions and interest alone are expected to amount to s90, 600, 900.
 During the fiscal year the number of national banks in existence has de- creased from 3,775 to 3,722. Forty-one national banks have been organized during the year, sixty have gone into voluntary liquidation and thirty six have been placed in the hands of receivers The national bank circulation has increased s4, 337, ,79l from s2o7, 353.2 on July i, 1894, to S2ll, ,60l, O35 July 1, 1895. From July IS, 1894, to Nay, 1895, the nearest dates to the year obtainable, the loan and discounts of national banks have increased from Sl,933, 5s0, 352 to Sl. 976,- GOA, 4i5, or about S43,0OO0 900. During the same time individual deposits have increased from S1,677, sol, 200 to Sl, 69O,- s6l, ,299, or about si3, 3,O0O, 900. The law full money reserve held by banks shows a heavy increase from sS64, lO5, 757 to s43s, 931, 97O, or nearly s75, 100000
 The reports of the operations of the life saving service show that during the last year the total number of dis asters to vessels at sea and on the great lakes was about $50. Of these 37S were on the Atlantic and gulf coast ITO on the great lakes and 12 on the Pacific. The value of the property involved is given approximately at ST. 535,0O0. The property lost is estimated It S1,254, ,0O0. Of the 4,Gis persons on board vessels in distress only twenty three were lost as against sixty-eight last year. The value of the property lost decreased during the year nearly one-half. The total number of vessels lost was fifty-five as against ninety-one last year.
