TREASURY STATEMENT.

a reduction of 81 1,014, 100000 in
the public debt during the fiscal
year ended June 80, and a reduc-
tion of S175,000,00O in the debt
during the month Of June has been
announced by the Treasury.
At the same time the treasury
announced that the final figures of
government receipts and cxpendi-
turcs for the past fiscal year reveal
cd a surplus of 1914, 100000.
The total ordinary receipts of
the government for the fiscal year
1922 amounted to $4,109, 900 900
compared with S5,625, 100000 The
previous year, while the total cX-
Ipenditurcs chargeable against Or
dinary receipts totalled 1876, 900
as against S5,53S, 100000 during
1921.
when the budget was submit
ted last December" the Treasury
stated, ''th'e estimate indicated a
deficit for 1922 amounting to s24,-
i6S, ,1O3, and the better showing
which has been made results from
a combination of several factors.
Aggregate receipts for the year
were about s140.O0O,0OO greater
than originally estimated. Customs
receipts proved to be larger than
for any previous fiscal year in the
history of the government and
amounted to S356,443,387.18, as
compared with the estimate of 1915
100000. Internal revenue receipts
amounted to s3,213,253,256.79, or
almost exactly the estimated S3,-
215,5OO,0O0. Miscellaneous rcvcn-
ues, including Panama canal tolls,
amounted to $3.50, ,407 ,506.97. as
compared with an estimated S47S,
933,G63, the difference being due
chiefly to increased realization on
property and securities and the
sale Of about S44,000,0O0 of federal
land bank bonds owned by the
government. Total expenditures,
on the other hand, were almost
20O,O0O,O00 less than the estimate
given last December in the budget,
due largely to decreased cxpcndi-
lures on account of the railroads
and to unexpectedly large rcaliza-
ton upon railroad obligations held
by the government, including par
ticularly equipment trust notes. '
Teh total gross debt Of the United
States on June 30th amounted to
22,963, 100000 compared with S23,
138,O00,0O0 on May 31st, with $685.
975, 100000 on June 3Oth, 1921, and
