FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR ENDS.

"
One of the Largest Net Balance:
Ever Shown Customs Receipt.
Millions Ahead Of Any Previous
Year.
Washington, Special.-So far as
working purposes are concerned, the
fiscal year of the government closed
Saturday; with a surplus of substan-
TALLY $87, O00, 900, one of the largest
net balances every shown. In the
fiscal year 1902, there was a surplus
OF $S1,2S7,375, but that was the Iarg-
est since 1890.
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be. announced un-
til Monday, the figures available are
approximately accurate. They show
that In the year just closed, the in
come 10 from the various sources OF
revenue was $665, 306, 133 and expen-
ditures $578,376,7 O9, as compared
with receipts of $3.50, 754,2S6 for the
last fiscal year and expenditures of
$685. S4, 799, the surplus in that year
being So, 1908, 1922.
This has been a tremendous in
crease in-receipts in the year Just
closing, while the expenditures have
been only about $10,0O0,O00 in excess
of the last year. The largest increase
in receipts has been from customs,
although internal revenue has shown
a big gain
The receipts from the different
sources this fiscal year have been as
follows:
Customs 333,23O,126, internal rev.
enue $27O,3O9,38S, m~iscellaneous $751;

There has been no year in the his-1
tory Of the country in which the re-
from customs came within
many millions of the present year.C
The receipts last year held the rec
ord up to that time and this years
from that source is about
$33, OOO,O 600 in excess of last year.
