Rise In silver.

New YORK March 3o.-The rise in
silver today is due to the granting Of
an armistice and the rene wed hope Of a

The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1895-03-31

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Contrary to
the expectations of tho officials, the
treasury receipts for the month Of March
will again fall below the expenditures.
The deficit is about 1884, 900. The ex-
cess Of expenditures over receipts for
the nine months Of the present fiscal
year ia over $35, 500, 900, and this will
almost certainly be increased by SIS 900,
600 or more in April, which will leave
deficit of about S42, 100000 on May /.
During May and June, however, great
things are expected from the income
tax, but the most conservative esti-
mates now place the deficit for the fiscal
year ct S25, 600, 600. or IS. 600, 900 greater
than Mr.. Carl:sle's estimate sent to
Congress with his last annual report.
The outlook for heavy receipts. from
the two great sources Of income, cus-
encouraging, particularly from the
latter. During the month OF August,
1894. the internal revenue receipts, in
anticipation of the increased ratio of
duty, ran up to S27 $50, 900, but not since
that time have they reached much more
than third of that amount. In Sep
-tember they scarcely exceeded 5000,
600. and since then they have been
slowly increasing until the presen
mouth, when they amounted to over
50, 100000. This Is far below the expeo-
tstions Of the officials.
The receipts from customs during tho
last twelve months have shown an un-
even, but on the whole, fair increase.
During July, 1894. they reached the
low figure of ss.427.O 900, but during
August they increased to nearly SlS,-
0o0,o0 and during September to about
Sl5.564.990 The three succeeding
months showed o falling off of from
$4,000, 600 to over SIS, 100000.
In January, 1895. however, thay re-
covered to over Sl7.O00,O0O. and then
again there was decline of STA. 800 900,
and then an increase during the prevent
month 10 nearly SIS, 900, 600. Only
twice, however, since May, 1894, have
the receipts from all sources equslled
the expenditures.
In June, 1894, there was slight ex-
cess and during August the excess
reached 50 600, 900. The receipts dur
ing that month were abnormal, owing,
as ata.ed, to tho increased tax on spir-
Its. Much depends upon tho decision
OF the Supreme Court on the question
of the validity of the income tax.
Should the law be upheld, tho Treasury
officials look for fair sailing from now
on; but should tho law be declared I'M
CONSTITUTIONAL, an extra session of Con-
gross, called to provide for revenues
sufficient to meot the needs of the gov
eminent, is regarded by the officials as
at least probable.
