SHIP GRAIN AND COTTON
REGARDLESS OF THE WAR

washington, Oct. Although gov
eminent revenues from customs fell
eff about s9,5OO0O0 during September
compared with the same month in
1913. treasury officials today found
some comfort in figures showing re-
cent exports of grain and cotton.
There was encouragement, too, in the
announcement that for September the
ordinary internal revenue receipts
were almost s6,000,OOO above those
for last September. although this in
crease is said to be due to unusual
causes not likely to figure in future
months.
Despite the help from increased in
ternal revenue the total receipts for
the month from all sources were near
ly S6,0O0,G00 under last September,
and the excess of disbursements for
the month was nearly $500, 900, while
in September, 1913. the excess of dis
bursements was about S4,000,000.
During the week ending yesterday
5S,11i bales of cotton were exported,
and yesterdays grain exports agsre-
gated ,936, coo bushels.
