Revenues Show Decline.

A comparison of the governments rev.
enues for the first twelve days of this
new fiscal year. up to close of business
yesterday. and the receipts for the same
period of the last fiscal year shows a
great discrepancy in favor of the earlier
period. The receipts for the twelve
days of July, this year. aggregated SIS
s43.176.56. against $31.5is.420.11 in 1914.
This difference is in great part due to
the fact that s12.535.275.e6 received
from the sale of the two battleships,
idaho and Mississippi. was paid into
the Treasury July 10. 1914. increasing by
so much the receipts and working bal
ance in the general fund. But there is
$4,000. 900 further discrepancy in the re-
ceipts between the two periods.
Expenditure for the comparative
periods are beginning to show more
nearly even equation, with the figures
Of yesterday. than they previously
have done. Whereas the ordinary dis
bursements were five millions in excess
of those of 1914 al the close of business
Saturday. the difference at close of busi-
ness yesterday was only $4,000 in ex-
cess of those for the same period of
