LESS THAN $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Is What the Treasury Figures Out the De-
ficit To he This Year.

Washington, June eft is regarded
as a conservative estimate that the
treasury deficit for the fiscal year 1899,
which closes ten days hence. will be less
than $1OO.CoO.CCO. Already the receipts
for the year aggregate over S49S. 500 coo,
with the expenditures barely Sl00. .0G0.-
600 more. with ten days-judging from
past years-of heavy receipts yet to be
accounted for. Up to this date the Gus
toms receipts amount to over 5000 400.-
COO; from internal revenue. $263. $50, coo
was realized, and from miscellaneous
sources there was received $50, SOC, ,000
The total receipts from all sources last
year amounted to Sf05, 321. .335. while the
expenditures aggregated S443, 36S, $50,
leaving deficit of $3S.0i7. .247.
From the closest calculation that can
now be made the war revenue act. which
with the exception of a few items
went into effect July l, 1898. will realize
for the year a little less than 500. CO0-
0C0. The receipts from tobacco alone
will probably show an increase for the
year of over S15.C00.0OO; spirits an in
crease of $1,000. COO; beer and other fer
mented liquors an increase of over S2S,-
000. 600 and oleomargarire an increase of
about S5S5.OOO.
The monthly statement of the collec-
tions of internal revenue shows that the
total receipts during May. 1899. were
$23.500, 134. an increase over May, 1898,
