Committee Approves Reductions. VGwffiington. — Continuing its work of rewriting the tariff bill, the senate finance committee majority has apv proved reductions in the duties orig inally proposed on cotton cloths and some cotton goods, including hose and half-hcrae and underwear and other wearing apparel. Some attention also has been given to the woolen sched ule, but it is understood th^d the com mittee will make few-if any changes in the rates in that schedule.. Under the changes in the cotton schedule, duties on cotton cloth would not exceed 45 per cent ad valorem as compared with original duties in some cases of 60 per cent and more. In the place of "rate's on hose and half hose ranging from 15 p6r cent ad valorem and 70 cents per dozen pairs to 80 per cent ad valorem, the T^ajorlty has fixed a straight duty of 10 cents per pound and 60 per 'cent ad valo rem.

Aggregate receipts for year were about* $140,000,000 greater than originally estimated. Customs receipts proved to be larger than for any pre vious fiscal year In the history of the government, and amounted to $356.- 443.387.18 a scompared with the es timate of $275,000,000,000.

Miscel laneous revenues, including Panama canal tolls, amounted to $5^9,407,- 506.97 as compared with ap estimated $478,953,663, the difference being due chiefly to increased realization on property and securities and the sale of about $44,000 of Federal Land Bank bonds owned by the government. To tal expenditures on the other hand were almost $200,000,000 less than the estimate given last December in the budget, due largely to decreased ex penditures on account of the railroads and to unexpectedly large realization j upon railroad obligations held by the government, including particularly equipment trust notes." .
