BIG SURPLUS FOR YEAR.
GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS ABOUT $751;
100000 ABOVE EXPENDITURES
PERIOD OF STILL GREATER
PROSPERITY EXPECTED.

Washington June 29-The comparative state
ment of the government receipts and expendi-
lures for the fiscal year ended to-day will show
an excess of receipts over disbursements OF ap-
proximately S76.OOOOOO.
This is only about 81 100000 below the esti-
mate made by Congress at the beginning OF the
last session in December. 1900 when the Secre-
tary estimated receipts from customs at about
S245. 100000. The final figures which will be
issued next Monday will probably fall short of
this amount by about S6.0O0000 The receipts
from internal revenue were estimated last De-
cember at $500 900 600 while the final figures
will show over 1901, 100000. The receipts from
miscellaneous sources were estimated at S34.
6OO600. These will also show considerable in
crease. The expenditures for the year will be
100000 in excess of the estimate. In the fiscal
year 1900 the surplus revenues amounted to
about S24OOOOO0 while the surplus of the pres
ent year will possibly exceed $40 100000
In view of the fact that the Revenue Reduc-
ton bill passed at the last session of Congress
will go into operation at the beginning of the
fiscal year next Monday. Treasury officials esti-
mate that the loss from this source will be about
S4OOUOOOO 1t is not expected, however that
the net reduction from this source will reach
that amount as the officials look forward TO
year OF even greater prosperity than the one
just closing. If this expectation is realized the
or1clals believe that the revenues from internal
sources alone will be not more than $50. 600 600
oeIoW the nSures Of the present year. 1t is also
cohhdently expected that the receipts from Gus
toms VIII materially increase in the coming
Twelve months so that Notwithstanding the re-
auction made in the last revenue bill the total
receipts from all sources may even reach or ex-
ceed those of the fiscal year 1901.
