INCOME. -1 Treasury' department officials estl mate that the government's receipts doling tho current fiscal year eudlo g June SO will bo from $00,000,000 to $100,000,000 more than estimated wben congress convened. Revised estimates showed the In creases approximately as follows: In corni is?, xfcju fSS.Ow.vOv to $120, 000,000, an increase of $35,000,000 over the original estimate; ordinary inter nal revenue receipts from $272,000,000 to $80f>,000,?00, an increase of $33,000, 000? customs receipts, from $100,000, 000 to $215,000,000. an increase ot $20. 000,000. With these three principal sources of revenue showing an indi cated increase ?$??03,000.000 over tho originel estimates,': officials believe minor sources will help, bring the total increase close to $100,000,000. Customs receipts show that the gov ernment already has collected duties aggregating $185;440,442,i only $1,000 loss than the su? collected this tim? last year and within $5.l>00.000 of tho sum originally estimated for the en tire year. Customs . recejpta>3i?v4 fc#an. steadily rising nineo last December and now have passed $20,000,000 a month. Con tinuance of present conditions for.an other year, officials believe, would re sult in the cost?me receipts nearly reaching tho lovel attained before the war. - ? . DR. PRATTS ADDRESS.
