Spectators, especially those having

the Lausanne agreement is ratified or
not, there is never likely to be a
reversion to the old scale of reparations

there is no reason why they should hot
sell on an investment basis. Of course,
this excludes a few German corpora

An excess Of expenditures Is getting

In on July /.
For the first two days Of the new

established on the Treasury's books, as
indicated by the daily statements Of

the new revenue-producfng machinery,

figures, the statement explained. in
cluded receipts and expenditures for
June reaching the Treasury in July
and also included deductions made on
account Of excess Of credits.
Interest in the Treasury statement
now centers on whether the budget for
the 1888 fiscal year is balanced. The

From other quarters, however, It is
maintained that the budget has not

Moreover, 1t has been said that the
estimated receipts for the present fiscal
year include the doubtful item of
$270, 100000 due from foreign govern
ments tn principal and interest on war
debts.
All provisions of the new revenue
bill now are in effect, but the addi-
tional accruals will not show up on
the Treasury's balance sheet until late
this month. The manufacturers excise
taxes and miscellaneous levieS, together
designed to raise S602, 500, 900, will re-
turn their first payments on or before

NEW YORK, July 9.-As the ad-
vances in the German bond list, here
and abroad have brought the prices Of
German long-term bonds to approx
mately double their lows Of 1882, the
question naturally arises: Should they
be sold at current levels?"
A close survey Of the German situ-
alton reveals many reasons for antici-
pating higher prices for German bonds
and a consensus of Wall Street thought
seems to agree with this conclusion.
Daily developments at the Lausanne
conference have clearly shown that
each of the delegations is convinced of
the necessity of at least arriving at
basis for the debt discussions which
must come with the United States
This much has been Accomplished The
negotiating nations are in agreement
that Germany's credit must be re-
established. that there must be arrange
ments made for the release Of frozen

favorable trade balance for the first five
months of 1882 was about $50, 100000
reichsmarks. This was a decrease from
the favorable balance of s23000,000
reichsmarks for the same period of 1881,
but was in sharp contrast to the adverse
balanced predicted for April and May.
Germany has been able to reduce her
