mental in their character so that in case of careless or false certificate of value being sent to this country by such au organization, it would be possible to pre- sent the matter to its government for proper action. The treasury commission also made a special study of these cham. bers of commerce in France, Austria. Hungary and Great Britain, to deter mine just what would be the competen- cy of the evidence that was presented in case of disputed values. With view to greater expedition and hence less dis turbance in business conditions incident to the enforcement of the pure food law, the secretary during the year has ar. ranged to do away in large measure with the reference of each disputed case to Washington and has left to the chief local representative of the treasury de- partment and the department of agri. culture at the larger ports the disposi- tion of all cases except those of excep- tional importance.
 The advantage of reducing to a mini mum the transfer of gold between these financial centers of the world the sec. retary says it has often been discussed, but has not yet been the subject of of ficial action. Economy in such trans fers as come about automatically from time to time by the extension of the system of bills of exchange and by the use of international credits, but dis trust of these resources in time of cri- sis, the very moment at which they are most needed involves demand for physical gold. The three months of No vember and December, 1907, and Jan uary, 1908, witnessed imports of gold into the United States to the amount of $llS,s22,S and on the other hand the three months of April, May and June, 1908, witnessed exports of gold from the United States to the amount of $49,65s,972. For the twelve months ending October 31, 1908, the total i'm ports of gold were $150,234, ,064 and to. tai exports $72,5O9,564.
 The secretary says it would seem that means might be devised to diminish the transfer of physical gold under these conditions. That credits or loans of T. fE

ESPERANTO WILL NOT DO
New York Society Gives Up cosmopol.
 itan Language for Flo


 NEW YORK, December 17-A,. though Esperanto has been hailed as the coming world tongue for several years on both sides of the Atlantic tbe Young Men s Christian Association con. dueting classes in it and Colonel Georpe D. Harvey giving much space to ifs promulgation in the North American Review, the officers of the New York Esperanto Society have decieded that Esperanto is as faulty as volapuk. ifs predecessor was found to be twenty years ago.
 At the last meeting fthe society the members, who have dwindled down rom several hundred to fifteen. voted unanimously that Esperanto was too full or logical defects to be worth wasting any more time on. They decided to take up in its place the study of Flo, another international language brought forward by Marquis L. de Beaufort at a meet. ing of the committee of the information al language delegation in Paris in Oc,o- Der, 1907.
 Officers of the New York Esperanto Society pointed out that the discredit into which the international language has fallen is not local, but world wide.

gold might be extended more generous another in times of stress, was proposed soon after the crisis of year ago. It has been suggested that an internation- al conference be called of representa- tives of the ministries of finance and of the great state banks with view to more prompt and effective cooperation in emergencies.
 The secretary devotes considerable space to the question of an economical disbursement to current receipts and the classification of both receipts and disbursements in such a way as to fa- cilitate such an adjustment, and sug- gests that it would perhaps be compe- tent to congress to vest in joint com mittee the power of revising the appro- priation bills with view to distribu- ting reductions and increases in an equi- table manner and also with a view to the relative importance of the object It would seem that such committee for which appropriations are sought. should be charged with the responsibili- ty of keeping the expenditures of each year approximately within the revenue of the year or, if this could ont be done, that it should authorize the issue of proper amount of short term obi gations to bridge over the deficit of lean years. By such committee need less and wasteful expenditures might be checked.
 The secretary says that the present form of treasury statement is in many respects misleading. It makes no separ- ation between the expenditures for the ordinary service of the government, and those for permanent public works, like river and harbor Improvements, public buildings and the Panama canal. If these statements differentiated between the ordinary and the extraordinary ex. penditures the record for the fiscal year 1908, would show ordinary receipts $60l ,l26,11S. Ordinary disbursements, $570,477,S38. Surplus of receipts, $30,- GAS, 279. Extraordinary receipts and disbursements; sale of Panama bonds, $24 4,63l, ,9s0. Sale of treasury certif- cates $l5, ,436,50O From premium, $735,- 7SS. Total extraordinary receipts, $40,- S04,2 ,26S. Extraordinary disbursements: For Panama canal, $3S,093, ,425; for pub lie buildings, under treasury, $9,341 1864; !; for reclamation service, $11, ,126,0 ,042; for rivers and harbors, $3o, ,l57 $40; for reduction of the public debt, $34,356,- 750. Total extraordinary disburse- ments, $123, 5,230.
 There are other charges that should be made in the daily treasury state ment in the interest of better under standing of the financial operations of the department.
 On the subject of the revision of the tariff the secretary says the new admin istration is pledged to fair and equi, table revision. The necessities of the government should be a guide, at least in part, to the measure and character of the revision. Data recorded in this

 Of recent currency legislation the secretary says that the act passed at the last session of congress has served useful purpose, and will be available until the recommendations of the mon etary commission created by that con. gress can be considered and acted upon.

WASHINGTON, December l9.-The annual report of MT. Cortelyou, the sec retary of the treasury, shows rever- sal of conditions for the fiscal year 1908, as compared with the fiscal year for 1907. For the latter year the receipts were ss4, ,5s6 in excess of the dis bursements. For the fiscal year 1908 the disbursements were $5S,070,2Ol in excess of the receipts, due to business depression and increased appropriations. Fortunately, the report says, the avail able cash balance at the beginning or the fiscal year was $272,06l, ,445.
 The treasury was called upon in the latter part of October, 1907, to render assistance in financial panic which started in New York city and which gradually extended over the entire coun- try. Through treasury operations dur ing this financial disturbance the amount of public deposits with the banks reached $236,54S,321 on Novem' Der 30, 1907, and on December 27, 1907, the maximum of 59,994,271 was at tained, after which it was decreased to s256, ,920,1 ,154 by the close of the month
 Further withdrawals decreased this amount to $l1s,379,536, on November l6, 1908. At the beginning of the pres ent year there was freer circulation of money and large amounts were re- turned to the financial centers and some of the depositaries voluntarily returned to the treasury a part of their holdings of public deposits, amounting in all to Approximately four million dollars. A further withdrawal of public money

Associations, with authorized capital stock of $93O,542,774 Banks to the number of 1878 have been closed by the voluntary action of the stockholders and 469 insolvent associations have been placed in charge of receivers.
 There were purchased for the coinage of subsidiary silver during the fiscal year 16,956,309 ounces of silver bullion at cost of $9,923,026.
 The receipts from internal revenue taxes for the fiscal year 1908, were $251, ,711, ,126, a net decreage from 1907 of $l7 7,955, ,646. The customs receipts for the same period amounted to $2S6,l13,- 13O, decrease for the year of about $46, 6,OO0,0OO.
 Easing his figures on the estimates of appropriations already submitted by the several executive derartments the sec retary is of the opiion that the excess of expenditures ever receipts for the fiscal years endrIg June 30, 1909, may Sreach $l43,046,7b6.
 Realizing that sudden changes in the customs standing of imported merehan- disc are unfair to business, and intro duce an element of uncertainty, the secretary has instituted new system Iby which when the classification of goods is changed, which results in the payment of higher r;lte of duty, ample notice is given to tho,e interested.
 There have just been completed by the department negoti ations which put an end to the long drawn out contro- very as to the value >f Limoges china. And in doing this it had established a precedent and principal of co-opera- tion between the manufacturing inter ests involved and the United States government which iii capable of being extended to other classes of merchan- disc, with excellent results
 During the year the department has entered into an agreement with the chamber of commerce of Limoges repre- senting the manufacturers of that city, as to the value of all kinds of pottery there manufactured. Some minor de- tails yet remain to be settled but these do not affect the harmonious results that have been achieved.
 The reports calls attention to the commission of which Assistant Sccre- tary James B.. Reynolds was the chair man, which went abroad last year to discuss with German officials certain important matters affecting the proper administration of the customs laws and an agreement reached with that country contained provision that the chamber iof commerce of last country should be entitled to furnish certificates of value of merchandise manufactured or pro duced in their respective communities which should be regarded by the ap- praising officers of the United States as competent evidence in the findings of value. This privilege was subse- quently extended to the chamber of com merce of other nations, and it was granted only after it was ascertained that these organizations were govern

 Further voluntary surrender of de- posits were made during February and on June 30th the general fund had been reduced to $l49,000,000.
 The aggregate of trust funds consist ing of gold coin and standard silver dol lars held for redemption of certificates and notes for which they were respect, ively pledged increased $139,0OO, 900 during the year.
 The monetary stock for the yearin. creased $263,203,00O. The growth in gold was $l51, 1,744,39l. In silver, ST. 919,395; national bank notes $94,545,- 227. At the same time there was a de- crease of s1,0O6,000. At the close of the fiscal year, 1908, the money in cir culation amounted to $3,03s,015,4 ,44s, or a per capita of $34.72.
