pared with the previous year. and hat
for the first three months Of the current
year there has been decrease Of
sT.es.,2 ,23s "a compared with the eorre-
spending months Of the last fiscal year.
The revenues for the full current
year are estimated at $3.50, 900 900,
which is si.655,Ooo less than for last
year.
The production of distilled grain spir.
its for the fiscal year 1905 was 1875 ,gs9,-
740 tax gallons. which is a decrease Of
over 4i,ooo,Ooo gallons as compared
with last year This Is accounted
for by the commissioner BY the prohi.
bition movement, the high price of grain
and the agreement among the distilfers
to curtail production.
The cost Of the collection of internal
revenue for the last fiscal year was
si.s3o,s9s, and the estimated expenses
