Big RECEIPTS CUT
TREASURY DEFICIT
Officials Surprised by Large
Payments on Last Day Of
Fiscal Year.

WASHINGTON. July Unexpectedly
large receipts from the income ard cor
poration taxes yesterday snabled the
Treasury Department to n the fiscal
year In better condition than had bern
estimated.
Treasury officials had figured that not
more than SIS, ooo. 900 would be yielded
by the income and corporation on
the last day of the fiscal year. They
were surprised. therefore, whom tho 70
turns from the revenue collectors showed
that s3s. 900, 900 had been paid In or
account OF these taxes on June 80. the
last day Of the year.
There we're also large collections
from the war revenue tax and from or
binary internal revenue taxes on to-
bacco and liquor. amounting TO f,AS9,'
900 for thu day.
These additions to the Treasury leave
Il at the close OF the fiscal year With
a deficit OF about s64. 900. 900 on this
years business,
The receipts for the final day enabled
the Government to close the year with
a cash balance of $50. 900 1000. as com
pared with a balance Of $l45.o0O. 900
ut thec close OF the last fiscal year.
The heavy receipts from the income
and corporation taxes on the Anal Gay
Of the year have inspired hope in Treas
ury circles that the total revenues from
L-. ~..aA ...nx AxnAnA NhA AatifNnf nj
yield of $50. 0O0. 900. About $50. 000. 00C
already has becn collected and there re-
main ten days in which further income
tax payments may be made. Some
officials hope that the total o and
corporation taxes may exceed the esti-
mates by 81, 1000. 900, u II III acknowl'
edged that officials are not plnning toe
much confidence on this prospect.
While the income lax receipts IN the
final day were very large and helped to
improve the Treasury showing for the
fiscal year just ended they will not. OF
course, have any material effect upon
the next fiscal year, which Is the fea-
ture OF the situation that Is giving ofh-
Cials the most concern.
1t is likely that by July 10. the last
day for the payment of income taxes
the Government will have a cash bal
ance of close to 500. 900. 900. This un
doubtedly will see the Government along
safely until it IL confronted with the e
piration of the war revenue tax law and
the removal OF the duty on sugar Tho
war revenue law expires on January l
and sugar. under the terms OF the tarift
law. will 20 on the free list or May l
next. II the war continues. both these
contingencies undoubtedly will have to
be met by legislation.
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo is
preparing an analysis OF the figures for
the fiscal year and II In understood that
In a few days he will issue an optimistic
statement regarding the outlook. Many
officials were inclined to-day to point to
the income tax collections AZ an index
Of more prosperous conditions In the
country than have been supposed.
The total Treasury receipts for the
fiscal year were:
From income tax. $4,000, 600, a:
against S7l, 000, 900 last year.
From customs. $20s, O00, 900, as against
$2a2. 000. 900 last year.
From ordinary Internal revenue
sources. including war tax, $3ab. 900 900
as against S30s. 100000 last year.
