GOSSIP

That the reduction in the public
debt as indicated in the March fg-
ures issued by the authority OF the
secretary OF the Treasury was only
temporary reduction. Is the advice
In a telegram sent yester-
day by the Treasury Department to
the governors OF the Federal reserve
banks.
There appears TO be some danger
that emphasis laid in the press upon
the reduction OF the public debt In
March Will lead to a misunderstsnd-
ing OF the TreasuIy's situation, the
telegram reads. Though progress
has been made since last August In
reducing the gross debt and the fioat-
Ing debt OF the Government OF the
united states from taxes and sal
wage and by reducing the net balance
In the general fund, IL would be a
mistake TO assume that any such re-
duction In the public debt as occurred
IN March was other than temporary
The telegram states that the Gov
ernment will be a heavy borrower In
April and May and that the public
debt will be again increased in those
months.
During the first nine months of the
nscRl year, 1870. the Government had
current deficit OF S2l4OOO. 900.
Attention IL called to the fact that
large proportion OF the Govern
ment's annual income Is paid in four
months OF the year-March. June,
September. and December-and as u
result fluctuations I'm the public debt
necessarily occur. IL is d mistake, II
Is pointed out, to concentrate atten-
ton upon the operations OF those
months and to leave out OF account
the intervening months, in which
current expenses have already ex-
ceeded current receipts to a greater
or less extent.
