YEAR. OPENS
WITH DEFICIT IN
]. 5. TREASURY

Washington, Jan. 1.-The year closed
In the United States treasury with de-
iicit OF nearly slo.oO,0oo in the current
account since the beginning OF the fiscal
year 1905 six months ago
a year ago today there was, instead
OF a deficit, a fat surplus of receipts over
expenditures for the six months amount
ing TO a little more than $25.0oo0oo.
The less favorable condition OF the
treasury at the close OF 1907 Is directly
attributable to the falling Off in receipts
from customs. II is true that the cur
rent expenditures have been larger in the
last six months than they were In the
latter half OF 1906 but II the customs re-
ceipts had continued to Increase as they
were increasing u year ago, the rise IN
the amount OF expenditures would not
have produced a deficit. But instead OF
continuing to increase the income pro-
duced by the tariff law actually decreased
in the last six montrs by nearly $500. 600.
The revenue from customs was holding
its own until November, when the money
the worst of the business stress was ex-
perienced, the falling on I'm customs re-
ceipts was not very large and the treas
ury deficit was less than 100000 That
was. perhaps, because importers werc
obliged TO liquidate their entries OF for
eign-bought goods in anticipation of the
holiday trade; but when December came
the preparations for holiday retail busi-
merchandise were sent to the bonded
warehouses in large quantities. The du-
ties Will not have To be paid until the
goods are withdrawn from the ware
houses, and importers are hoping. no
doubt. that money will be more plentiful
and cheaper by the time 1t becomes nee
essary to make these Withdrawals.
This condition of December business
caused the customs receipts TO drop about
100000 In the month which ended yes
terday. as compared with the last month
of 1907.
There has also been considerable de-
crease In current receipts from internal
revenue, for the distillers and brewers
have felt the money pinch in common
with other business interests throughout
the country. The December collections
