of nearly $4,000. 900 Is shown, but this
fact is not significant, as June is un-
failingly a surplus month. Nearly all
appropriations became available on the
first OF July. and this year Treasury
officials are looking forward to a de-

available to meet expenses is about
$40 100000, In addition to this there Is
