OF EXPENDITURES
s%i'Sstion VIII soon Equal
ixe Itself.

Washington. July 22.--For the first
20 days of the present month. tho treas
ury deficit has reached an amount In
EXCESS OF 0ne-half the whole deficit for
the last, fiscal year. The deficit at the
close Of business July 20 reached $15,-
35S, 235. 80. This deficit is shown In the
daily treasury statement under the
item excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts this fiscal year"
Counting out Sundays and lega, hol-
idays, 1t would appear that the gov
erhment Is operating at a loss, of ST.
600, 900 per day. This, however, does
lot create the interest, and has moth
ing Of the sensationalism In It that
might be supposed. Every year, imme-
diately after July l, there is a rush on
the treasury and n great drain on its
resources. This grows out Of the fact
that on the first day OF the fiscal year
the appropriations made by the last
congress become available.
The situation will equalize itself be-
for, the close Of the year.

THE WIDESPREAD HOT WAVE
II Had the Eject of R%etarding Dis.
Trade, Hut Stimu-
lated Crop Growth.

New York, July 22.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says.
A widespread hot wave has retarded
distributive trade and interfered with
manufacturing industry, but has slim
ulated crop growth and thereby
strengthened the outlook for fall trade.
Retail trade in summer goods has been
benefited, as has also summer
resort business. Wholesale and job
bling trade is of good volume, consid-
ering the weather, and compares we'll
with a ear ago. Confidence in fall
trade is unimpaired and there is a more
liberal tendency in placing fall orders.
The quieting in industry is merely OF
q temporary character. Manufacturing
Is really more active than usual at
this time, and summer shut downs are
not such a feature this year as in for
mer periods.

st. Louis, July %2O.-Judge Smith NC.
Pherson refused the injunction asked
by the Lewis bank against Postmaster
Wyman Of this city to restrain him
from carrying out the instructions in
the fraud order issued by Postmaster
General Cortelyou.
He also set aside the temporary re-
straining order, issued a week ago, n
der which the postmaster had been
compelled to hold the Lewis mail in
the local Office instead of returning 1t
to the senders, which he is required to
do by the fraud order, and which he
will now resume, marking it %"fraudu-

In his opinion. Judge Mcpherson
said, in part:
"KnOwinG only the allegations Of

any Intelligent person could he
found who would invest n dollar In
this bank, and "a prudent and hon-

The main decision relied upon by
Lewis attorneys was a Kansas City
case, decided by Judge Amidon, in
which 1t vas held that a court has the
right to review the decisions Of the
postmaster-general.
Judge Mcpherson held that, as this
case had been appealed to a higher
court, it could not be considered to be
the law by him when there were many
cases decided by the higher courts
holding the opposite view.
