fcHOW AN INCREAS]
Washington, March 6.?Governmc
avenues have begun to show slig
mcrease, due largely to the usu
spi.ng import business with cons
quent enlarged receipts from cu
toms. The treasury deficit, which
# w weeks ago was in the neighbo
hood 01 $eb,000,000, has fallen
about $80,000,000 and in the no
few months there may be a furth
reduction.
Although treasury officials are loa
to make any predictions when su<
unusuai conditions prevail, the exp
rience of years has taught them
figure on increased receipts from cu
toms iiom about March 1 until tl
end of the fiscal year in June. If tl
increase is sufficient to keep the pr
sent deficit at a standstill, the incon

the postoffice department is runnir
behind its usual business. Calculi

McAdoo, however, of revenue ai
expenditures have differed widely i

The question of issuing Panan

such an issue.
