The receipts as compared witli 1S90 fel! prS.r.,41P,S47 52 and the ordinary ex penditures increased .",636, 198 14. His statement regarding outstanding bonds is the same a-, that of the United States Treasurer published last week. The revenue-- lor the present year are estimated at ?433.O0fl,000 and the expendi tures at S40!,tHlO,000, leaving an estimated surnlus of 524,000,000. It is expected that there ill be a ca.h balance of ?139,72S, 14."i 83 on .Tunc 30, 1S92. It is estimated that the revenues fo' 1893 will be 54,r)5.33(i,3J0 41 and the expenditures 5-141.300,093 61. In view of the requirements of the sink ing fund for 1S92, it was deemed advisable to suspend the redemption ot i4 per cent bonds until after that year should begin. The amount outstanding on September 1 was 550.869,200. The Monetary Trans-tctlons. In speaking of the public moneys, Mr. Foster sajs: The monetary transactions of the Govern ment lwe been corilucted tlirougu the Treasurer of tho United States, 'J sub tieasurv oncers and 213 national bank de poitanes. The number ofsuch depositaries on yoveniDer 1, 1S91, w as 13, and tbe amount of public money- bold by tnnm on that date.

Further withdrawals will tie made from time to time w lien it can be done without detriment to business inter ests until the holdings of national bank de-po-itane- shall have been l educed to the amount needed for the proper transaction of public business. The t-t mgcriey in the nionev meikct dur ing the summer and autumn of 1S90 was re lieved b- the prompt and elTecfvc measures ot niv prodecet-or, and happily disappeared without producing the grae eonequcnced w liieh weie fenree. by the public: but it- ex istence and the wfde-prcud apprehension -nhicl. it cau'td. induced a ret ival of the er loneous idea that the volume of money in circulation was not only inadequate to the need-of tb- countrr, b-t was very much le-c per capita than during the so-called lliub time v inch followed the Civil War.

His report then quotes from and renews J the recommendations concerning needed ; amendments to the laws, made by his pre- j decessor, and says that they have been made J in whole or in part by every Secretary tor the past ten jears and their importancs , cannot be overestimated. It is unwise to ! neglect to furnish adequate means for the efficient collection and protection of the customs revenue. He asks that an ad ditional appropriation be made for the pur po.e of defraying the expenses of an in creased customs force to take care of the merchandise sent to the World's Fair. The receipts from internal revenue amounted to $M),0.Vi,415 97, an increase of 53,440,719 40 over 1890. The total produc tion ol distilled spirits was l,159;0f2.389 gallons, an increase of 6,tifi0,461 gallons. J here was also produced l,0i,7li! gallons of fruit brandv: 3,819 distilleries were operated, and 30,497,209 barrels of beer were produced. Imports of merchandise amounted to ?S44 ll6.1fiG. an increase of S.Vi.iMtt.787, and the exports amounted to 58S1,480,810, an increase of 52ii,6."J,12(. The exports ex ceeded the imports by S39,r04,G14. The ex ports of troasuie amounted to 5108,953,642 and the imports to 536,259,447. The export trade with Great Britain amounted to 5441,.19:,S07 and the imports to 194.723,262. The value of exports and imports carried in cars was f72.8.V.,l.i4. Exports increased to France, Germany, China, TJrazil, Spain, British Australia", Mexico, Central Amer ican Statei and the Netherlands, and de creased to the Argentine Itepublic, Great Britain, Russia and British North American possessions. Kffect of the Reciprocity Cliinse. In relation to the reciprocity clause Mr. Foster says: Tne reciprocity clause of the new tariff is opening new markets and increasing the de mand lor our products. During the year ending June. 10, JSTO, onrexpoits of domestic nrodncts to Bi.i7il amounted $11,902,498. and in 1391 to $14,0.9373, an increase of 2,I;.77. The treatv with Brazil went into efTect Apiil I last, and it is not to be expected that the results will be verv marked as yet. Dur ing thesix months emlmgSeptemberSO, 1891 . oui domestic export- of merchandise to Bi-a.il amounted to $6,20S SW, and during the same period of 1891, under the operation ol the rt'Ciproctf-v tivaty, to $7,515,858, an in crease of $1,307,054. This increase in exports to Brazil since tho reciprocity treaty went into effect has been mainly in locomotives, sffn irfnio inni-hinppi.uti1 on p. fnr trrlTn- Iways and railvajs, wheat flour, bacon, boards, deals, plank, etc The reciprocity treaties w un ba.ito uomingo ana w ltnspaiu concerning trade relations with Cuba and Puerto Hico did not go into effect until September 1. and as vet there aie no avail able statistics to show the effects of tho tieatics upon ou- commerce. Furthermore, the reductions on dutieson wheatand wheat flour imported into thee islands from tho I'nited States will not take atlect until Jan uary 1, 1E92 The total arrival of immigrants was G60, 319, an increase of 105,017. The Increase of Ship Building. The registered tonnage of the United States has increased 59,254 tons and the enrolled tonnage has increased 201,007 tons. The sailing tonnage has increased 62,324 tons and the steam tonnage 157,175 tons. The iron vessels built measured 105,618 tons. The documented tonnage on the lakes is 1S1.724 tons, on the seacoast 554,963 tons, and the total, including the rivers, is 741,- 59S.1'4 tons. There arc 3U,;8 tons on the Western rivers. In relation to this subject Mr. Foster says: There should be no interference with the legal barriers that now preserve the coast ing trade to citizens of the United States, whether upon the lakes, the rivers, or the ocean. The late census shows that in addi tion to tho large tonnage of documented vessels mentioned in the statistics abovo stated of vessels in this trade, there is a very considerable number of inferior un documented craft employed upon the rivers and elsewhere, consisting of uniigged barges, flatboats. etc. Upon the Ohio river and its trihutaries above Cincinnati alone this additional tonnage is found to amount to 2,470.547 tons. The value f the coasting and ri er fleet to domestic commerce was $js. 123,500 ill 1SS0. The demand for ships oT war will give us shipyards competent for building commer cial vessels to any extent, and lliei-e is no good 1 ea-on why ships should not be built here, and transport under American owner ship n tair .share of our exports and imports. Great industries like ship-building and the navigation of ships should not be surren dered bv us to other nations without a de termined struggle to retain them. Xo back ward step should be taken in the efforts now being made to restore the American flag to the high seas. Deterioration of Immigrants. TVith tho approjehing exhaustion of the supply of tree arable land in the United Slates only a trifling percentage of immi grants now engage in farming on their ar rival in this country, whatever may have been their former occupation. Tlie vast majority oftheni crowd into our cities and large towns, with the inevitabls result of overstocking tue labor market and depress ing wasc. while tho least ctlicient and most vicious among them soon drift into our poorhouses and prisons, to be a continuing burden upon our people. The laws already enacted liv Congress for the purpose of checking this tendency and preventing the inisehiet which would result from unre stricted immigration have accomplished something. Tlie attempt to enforce these laws efficiently has also developed a bods- of information, lia-ed on actual experience, which should be invaluable in framing fut ure legislation. While the application of existing laws has very greatly dimini-hed some ot the specific abuses at which they weie aimed, it obviously has not prevented a lr.rg" increase in the total volume of immi gration aud a distinct deterioration in its average quality. Good progro-s has been made during the pastyeal in the matter ot enforcingthc pro visions of the alien contract-labor law s. The fact that such laws are on tbe statute books, prescribing serious penalties for their inn-action, has of itself had a most salutary effect aud tended greatl.v to prevent all law abiding citizens from attempting the im portation of alien laborers under contract. Anv legislation, however, looking to ex clusion of Chinese, will fail of its mil pur pose so long as the Canadian Government admits Chine-o laborers to Canada, whence, armed with Canadian permits to leave and return to Canada at pleasure, they are at liberty to invudo our territory along its entire Northern frontier. The importance or providing some limita tion of tunc n ithin which claims against the Government s.iall be piosecutcd, or, for want of such prosecution, be forever barred, is urged upon the attention of Congress. Attention i again invited to the need of legislation to provide suitable legistry of deeds and otherevidences of title to real property acquired and held tor the use of the United states. THE PUTS AND riiATEP.3. Tne advance sale of seats begins to-day at all the city thcitei-3. 'IEight Bells'' lias made a largo percent age of the, population hereabouts laugh already. The popularity of Bronson Howard's "Shenandoah" is attested once more by crowded houses at the Bijou. So many people have been to see Linus, the $100,000 long-haired horse, at Davis' Museum-Theater, and so many are likely to want to seen really beautiful creature that 3Ianager Davis is trying to keep him an other week.

"The Dancing Girl" and "The Last Word" are not plays that would be missed. Charles Dicksojt, an actor of experience and ability will bring his new play "Incog" to the Grand Opera House next week. "Incog" is a comedv, as we understand it, with musical features, and a laugh-provoking entertainment as played by Mr, Dickson ana his associates. Gilmoke's msn will give two concerts at the Auditorium, on Penn avenue, on Tues day next. Seats are now being sold at Ham ilton's, and already the indications are that Gilinoro will have bis usual reception here Horn a vervlnrgeaudiencc. The programme at both concerts will be arranged on tho usual popular plan. Four eminent vocalists will sing. A touko Spanish woman who turned New York's unsteady bead a year or more ago, will give Pittsburg a taste of her dancing ability next week, nnd it will not be sur prisingif she captures the Alvin's audiences. Carmenclta is known to everybody by this time as a wonderful exponent of the Spanish dance, nnd she will be at the Alvin on Mon day with somo Spanish students and a variety company in her train. Cobikxe, who has not been seen in Pitts burg lately, will appear in "Carmen Up to Date" at the Bijou Theater next week. Corinne is a pretty little woman whose dancing and vivneiom style have won her a place among the burlesque stars. "Carmen Up to Date" may be classed with tboso com posite structures, which aro sometimes called burlesque and sometimes comic operas. John D. Gilbert and some other well-known people will assist Corinne.

It will be re membered that she last appeared here in conjunction with Edwin Booth and Law rence Barrett. Barrett is dead.

FOR A GENTLEMAN: This all-leather, spring edge, easy chair is 18, or with platform rock er is 19. It rep resents a large stock of easy chairs and library furni ture. Our Office Desk Department offers roll-top desks and rotary chairs as the dai lv ner ' . - ?. essityoi if eve ry man, e i t he r tori home or lL office use. One like the cut, full 54 inches long, of excellent construction and finish, is only $25. It certainly combines greater intrinsic value, more ingenious contrivances and more practical every-day helpfulness for the money than anything else in the whole range of furniture. To a busy man shaving is a test of patience and a waste of time. "What can't be cured must be en dured." But with the combined conven iences of any one of our shaving stands we may mitigate the evil. The one of our cut is a combination of shaving stand and chiffoniere, with hat closet and drawers for underclothing and carved "claw" feet. Our price for it in antique oak is 20. Every carpenter needs a tool chest, every physician needs a combination bookcase like the one of the cut above. Besides being a symmetrical and elegant piece of furniture the companion of a lifetime it is invalu able for its manifold uses. It has ten small drawers for bottles and small articles, two large closets and one long drawer for surgical instruments, five book shelves behind two glass doors for a medical library, and, although five feet wide by six feet high and handsomely carved in antique oak, our price is only $68. 0.
