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.

A well-known employ cf the Armour
Packing company spent yesterday tn South
Omaha, having Just returned from the east,
and he said to a Bee reporter ihat tbe
combination of the packer had been per
fected and that the offlciat announcement
would be made within the next fvw days.
"The Cudahy company." said thla offi
cial, "haa decided to enter th combina
tion and will meet the advance offered by
the Armour and others. This will mean a
consolidation of all of the packing Inter
ests In South Omaha and a consequent re
duction of ezpensea in a number of de
partments." Continuing, the representative of Armour
said: "Of course denial hav been made
about the transfer of the Cudahy property,
but It was don for the reason that th
negotiation were not fairly under wsy.
Now that the deal la practically consum
mated, the official Information will b
given out within the next few days."
When asked about the demand mads by
the meat butchers for an increase In wage
this official aald that th chance wer
that no decision would be reached for a
few days, as the matter had been taken
under advisement. ,
There Is some speculation her as to the
result of the combination In regard to the
market, aa it was asserted last nlgbt by
those who were on the Inside that with a
ao-called trust the buyers for tbe packers
would set the market price before loavlng
their offices In the morning snd that this
might possibly wofk to the detriment of
tho shippers.
Indications point to the fact that It will
be several days before the big packing
combination will be formed, but there seems
to be no doubt here tbat the packing
houses of South Omaha will aoon be under
on management.
