TREASURY RECEIPTS.

essary to Adjust Matters.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The feeling ut
the treasury during the closing weeks
OF the political campaign is one of con-
fidence. The gold reserve still stands
se2, oOo, 900 above the conventional limit
named In the law of 1882, and there
are no indications of any serious raid
for the purpose Of boarding.
The treasury Is still running behind
at an appalling rate in its current re-
ceipts, and 1t is believed by many that
this will require an extra session Of
congress, in spite of the restoration OF
the gold reserve. Supporters Of the
ADMINISTRATION declare the existing sit
uation confirms the argument they
made several weeks ago that the deficit
is not responsible for the export OF
gold, and that redundant revenue
would affect the gold supply only in.
directly. The past month or more has
shown deficit growing at O more
rapid rate than in 1895, while the gold
reserve has climbed steadily upward,
until arrested at its present point by
the disposition of the banks to retain
their gold until after the election.
