Delayed Collections May
Bring Figure Up to That
of Last Year.
BY the Associated Press.


Income taxes of $2,3S0, 200 reported
on March 81, the last day for filing
returns, brought the total for the
month to $3.50, ,7I2, 800, compared with
$1s5, 800 year ago.
The amount, however, does not rep
resent all return filed, because many
were mailed and not counted until
today. So officials believe the Gov
ernment still has a chance of exceeding
the amount collected last March.

The Treasury's statement for the
end Of March showed the Government
completed nine months of the 1888
fiscal year with deficit of $1,351,-

and expenditures of $2,883 ,853,282.

March 81 amounted to $2l, 1862, AGA. lit,
end OF February and $l8,506, ,720 ,307 on
March 81, 1882.
A drop Of nearly $500 ,oO0, 900 in in
come tax collections for the nine
months Of the fiscal year was one OF
the causes of the deficit. In that time
the tax has amounted to 1854, ,044. .349
compared with $s53,532, ,l65 last year.
Banks Increase Circulation.
The statement showed national banks
had taken advantage of the Glass
Borah amendment to the home loan
bank act to increase their circulation
backed by Government bonds carrying
not more than 3ss per cent interest.
On March 81, there was outstanding
$966 $50, $40 of national bank notes
with $950,84l ,969 In actual circulation
This was an increase of $81 ,000, ,00l
since February 20 and $3.50, 900 900 since
the law became effective last July.
Before that time national bank notes
could only be issued when backed by
