INDICATIONS 0F A SURPLUS Customs Receipts Malting t'p for Loss by Repeal ( ae War Taaea. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 22 (Special Tele gram.) Notwithstanding the fear of the Treasury officials that on account of the repeal of the war taxes and the heavy ap propriations by congress, they rale.ht soon be confronted with a deficit, no such thing Is in sight now. Although' ths expendi tures so far this year have exceeded the receipt by nearly 810,000,000, the outlook now la favorablo that by the end of the fiscal year all this will have been regained. The recslpts from customs duties during the six weeks of the current , fiscal year have exceeded those of tbe corresponding period of the preceding year by several million dollars. Last year they were $33, 000,000, this year they are $39,000,000. This increase Is altogether unexpected. The officials of the treasury cannot account for It, nor can they do more than guess how long it will last. - All calculations ap parently have been npset. The figures showing a big deficit for the year have been laid aside. Those charged with the duty of figuring out how-tbe balance sheet will stand have given up in despair. Customs receipts are not the only thing that puzzle them. They are not sure yet whsther the $40,000,000 ranamerlcan canal money will have to be apent, nor tbe money for the Danish West Indies. ' , . There Is ho official opinion whether there will be surplus or deficit next June. The loss by repeal of war taxes will amount to $85,000,000. If the custom receipt continue at tha present rat this writ be recouped and instead of a deficit there may be another surplus.
