TREASURY DEFICIT.
Proposed Strengthening of Working
Balance in Call on Banks.

The Treasury deficit for the month of
May is shown by yesterdays statement to
have been $5,4l3, ,955. and for the eleven
months OF the current fiscal year a de-
felt of s97, SIS. 102 is shown.
The available cash balance was S11S,-
.76I. and the working balance was s4O.-
$4,000. The total receipts for May We're
s-t:3::,,22,31o, and the disbursements, S5s,-
1866.
This showing is much more favorable
than was expected b. the officials as late
as three months ago, and indicates that
the deficit for the full fiscal year will fall
considerably short of the official estimate
Of S1l2.Gn,OO0. The working balance is
not however, regarded as fully adequate
TO the probable needs of the Treasury for
any considerable length of time and.
while the necessity for additional cash is
not pressing il is believed that the Of
fcials will take advantage of the present
easy money conditions throughout the
country by calling on the national de-
pository banks for the return to the
Treasury OF considerable part of their
holdings.
These banks now have deposits subject
IL Treasury check aggregating about s62.
1I:;.Bp and il is believed that the govern
ment interest would not suffer by a with
drawal OF at least S20,0o00o of this sum.
This strengthening of the working bal
ance undoubtedly would place the Treas
ury in a position TO await without special
concern the passage of the pending tariff
bill with any Incidental authorization as
to bond issues which Congress may see
fit To grant.
The May receipts from customs were
S2I 80 0g5. an increase as compared with
May. 1905 of over SS,gO,Coo but de-
crease of over Ssob,01o compared with
last month. The receipts from internal
revenue aggregated Sl32, ,295, ,029. in
crease OF over S1ooo.on0 as compared with
slight increase over last month.
The disbursements for MAY were a little
over S4,on0p in excess of those for May
last year. There was IA decrease in the
civil and miscellaneous expenditures for
May of 50 iGo.uD as compared with April
this year. and an increase OF about
slso,nD ON account of the navy. Pen
sions also increased about S3,0oo.0o0 and
public works $500 go

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

With the exception of trading in both
common and preferred stock and the 4
per cent bonds of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, today's ses-
SION of the Washington Stock Exchange
was practically without a feature. Six
blocks of the railway preferred stock
changed hands, but there was range OF
only Il of a point in the transactions. two
quotation lots selling at S9A. while the
other sales were at 80. The common
stock brought 421s and 42ss. The bond
sales were at prices ranging from STA
to IS.
Many of the brokers were on the floor
with orders for Mergenthaler, and there
was a sharp advance over yesterdays
