Condition of Treasury.

Washington, June 1.-The treasury de-
ficit for Mag is shown by today's state
ment to have been S5,4S3,955. For the
eleven months of the current fiscal year
a deficit of S97. Sj8, 1G2 is indicated.
The available cash balance was SllS,-

Total receipts for May were So, 322 $40,
and disbUrs sments SIS, 7S6, 26j.
This showing Is much more favorable
than was expected by officials and indi-
Gates that the deficit for the full fiscal
year will fall much short Of the official
estimate Of 1l2,CO0U0. The working bal
ance is not regarded as fully adequate 10
the probable needs Of the treasury for
any great length of time and while the
necessity for additional cash is not press
ing, it is believed that officials will take
advantage Of the present easy money con-
ditiOns throughout the country by calling
