Secretary Shaw's Review of the
Financial Condition of the Coun-
try.
Washington, D. C.. Dec. 7. —The an
nual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury for the year ending June 30,
was made public to-day. The available
cash balance In the general fund oil
that date was $172,051,568.02, which is
less by $66,634,546.21 than the balance
on June 30, 1903. The Panama canal
payments, the redemption of the out
standing s’s of 1904, and a change in
the ratio of the revenues to the expen
ditures contributed to this result.
Of the revenues in 1904, compared
With 1903, customs show a decrease of
#23,205,017, and the receipts from pub
lic lands are less by $1,472,831.50, while
an increase appears in internal rev
enue of $2,093,995.28, and in miscellan
eous items of $2,818,928.25. The net re
sult is a decrease in ordinary reve
nues for the year of $19,764,925. There
was an apparent net increase in ordi
nary expenditures of $76,303,314.27, but
this includes the payment of $50,000,000
on account of the Panama canal and a
loan of $4,600,000 to the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition Company. The latter
sum has since been reimbursed. For
the first quarter of the fiscal year 1905,
the revenues were $138,034,462.37, the ex
penditures $155,891,077.37, an excess of
expenditures over receipts of $17,856,-
6! 5.
National Bank Hepoalts.
The deposits in national banks to the
credit of the general fund attained a
maximum at $159,111,708.15 on Dec. 19,
1903. Three calls were issued during
the year on the depositary banks for
the return of a part of the public mon
eys deposited with them. They re
sponded with promptness, paying back
the sums required of them, and the
balance in the banks to the credit of
the general account at the end of the
fiscal year became $102,290,863.64, a re
duction of $56,820,844.51 from the maxi
mum balance, and of $37,936,271.61 as
compared with that of twelve months
•before.
The trust funds are $85,015,700 greater
at the beginning of the fiscal year 1905
than twelve months earlier, by reason
of an increase of $85,510,700 in gold cer
tificates. $5,770,000 in silver certificates,
and a decrease of $6,265,000 in treasury
notes.
Transactions in the interest-bearing
public debt resulted in a net reduction
in the principal of $19,383,970 and a de
crease in the annual interest charge of
$1,364,828.30.
Hank toti'ii Redeemed.
The national-bank notes presented
for redemption during the year
amounted to $262,141,930, or 61.12 per
cent, of the average amount of the
notes outstanding. Compared with
1903, this sum is $65,712,309, or 33.45 per
cent, larger, and it is the maximum
presented in any year in the history of
such redemptions. The total expenses
were $219,093.18, which sum was as
sessed upon the several banks in pro
portion to their circulation redeemed,
at the rate of $0.84716 for each SI,OOO.
This rate of expenses is 5.546 cents less
than the lowest rate heretofore re
corded. The national-bank notes pre
sented for redemption during the first
quarter of the fiscal year 1905 were
$70,247,586, an increase of $11,607,579. or
19.79 per cent., over the corresponding
period of 1904.
The Country’s Money,
The total stock of money in the
country at the close of the fiscal year
1904 was $2,803,504,135, an increase of
$118,793,148 over the preceding year.
The share of gold, which July 1, 1900,
was 44.21 per cent., became 47.35 on
the same date in 1904. A large part
of the increase in gold has settled into
the treasury vaults. Between July 1,
1900, and July 1, 1904, the treasury ha*
gained In gold $258,260,849.92, the total
holdings of gold on the latter date
amounting to $681,838,821.60, with a fur
ther increase to $721,253,987.88 on Oct.
31.
The extraordinary amount of $42,193,-
282.94 in foreign gold coin and bullion
and $29,158,970.31 In domestic bullion
was deposited in the mint at San Fran
cisco during the year and paid for by
the local office or by telegraphic ex
change on New York.
Money in Circulation.
The money in circulation July I,’ 1904
amounted to $2,519,142,860, a per cap
ita circulation of $30.7J. The percent
age of gold was 44.12.
A notable fact is that, with an addi
tion of 1.7 per cent, to the population
in the year, the increase in the cir
culation per capita has been 4.6 per
cent.
By Oct. 1, there was a further in
crease in circulation of $43,006,629. and
the circulation per capita reached the
maximum at $31.16, while the share of
gold became 44.03 per cent.
Smalt Bills in Vse.
The amount of public money of the
denomination of S2O and under In pa
per was increased during the year
ended Sept. 30, 1904. by $41,395,213. or
3.17 per cent.; of the denomination of
SSO and over, the growth was $106,336.-
726. or 29.01 per cent., owing to an un
usually large issue of gold certificates.
The demand for small bills has been
unceasing, becoming more urgent in
the autumn, as In other years. The
appeal is not confined to any partic
ular district. It comes from the cot
ton and sugar regions, us well as from
the states which produce wheat and
com, cattle and swine. The depart
ment has employed all its resources to
respond to this demand; but the sup
ply of small notes Is insufficient.
To sssfst In the movement of the
crops, transfers of funds are effected
through the medium of the general
fund, and for deposits of large gold
eertlfloates in New York payments arc
made at other treasury offices of sli
ver dollars, silver certificates and
United States $lO notes.
Patter Currency lasaed.
The United States paper currency is

were $565,340,300, an increase of 15.7
per cent., while in the number of pieces
the growth was 21.5 per cent.
The experience of the fiscal year 1903
shows the average cost for each piece
of United States paper currency is
sued and redeemed to be less than 2
cents —exactly 1,7005 cents.
Moneys received in the redemption
and exchange account during the year
amounted to $1,014,158,262, an excess
over the preceding twelve months of
$149,654,701, or 17.3 per cent. The pay
ments in gold in both forms were
$164,209,708 more than the receipts in
such money.
The silver coin distributed at the ex
pense of the government for transpor
tation during the year amounted to
$65,415,663, of which $41,032,715 was in
standard silver dollars and $24,-
382,948 in subsidiary coin. The rate
for transportation was $1.93 per sl,-
000.
The National Ilanks.
Since the issue of the first charter
in 1863, 7,417 national banks have been
authorized to begin business, of which
5,457, with aggregate capital of $777,-
741,335, were in operation on Sept. 30,
1904.
Of the total number of banks charter
ed, 6,252 were ‘associations of primary
organization and 1,165 conversions of
state banks.
Four hundred and sixteen associa
tions, or 5.6 per cent, of the total num
ber organized, have been placed in
charge of receivers; and from an ex
amination of the records in the office
of the Controller of the Currency it
appears that the creditors of insolvent
banks, the affairs of which have been
fully settled, have received dividends
on their claims to the extent of 71 per
cent., and, including offsets allowed
and loans paid, over 78 per cent,
Nearly One-fourth In Liquidation.
Approximately, 21 per cent, of the
number of national banks organized
were placed in voluntary liquidation
by action of shareholders in conform
ity with law. The number of liquida
tions of all kinds has been 1,544.
Nearly one-third of the total num
ber of national-banking associations
organized during the existence of the
system—a period of over forty-one
years—were chartered subsequent to
the act of March 14, 1900. This act
contained provisions empowering the
controller of iho currency, with the
sanction of tbe Secretary of the
Treasury, to authorize, under certain
conditions, the incorporation of na
tional-banking associations with a
minimum capital of $25,000, reduced the
annual tax on national-bank circula
tion, secured by the 2 per cent, con
sols of 1930, from 1 per cent, to one
half per cent., and authorized asso
ciations to issue circulating notes to
the amount of the par value of the
security bonds.
1,413 Banks Incorporated.
Under authority of the act of March
14, 1900, and from that date to Sept.
30, 1904, there were incorporated and
chartered 1,413 banks, with individ
ual capital of less than $50,000, the
average being but slightly in excess
of $25,000; and during the same period
740 banks, with individual capital of
$50,000 or more, were incorporated,
making the total number of charters
Issued in this period 2,153. Of the to
tal of organizations, 246, with aggre
gate capita! of $16,179,800, were state
banks converted into national-banking
association; 701, with capital of $43,-
166,000, reorganizations of state or
private banks, and 1,206, with capital
of $63,391,50, banks of primary or
ganization.
In the year ended Sept. 30, 1904, 445
banks, with aggregate capital of $20.-
769,300, were chartered, of which 303,
with capital of $7,821,500, were organ
ized under authority of the act of
March 14, 1900. The remaining 142,
with capital of $12,947,080, were banks
organized under the act of 1864 and
with individual capital of $50,000 or
more. Forty-four of the banks char
tered during the year were conversions
of state banks; 153 reorganizations of
state or private banks, and 248 asso
ciations of primary organization.
21 National Rank Failures.
The actual failures of national banks
during the year from Sept. 30, 1903.
to Sept. 30. 1904, numbered twenty
one. The capital Involved, however,
was only $1,615,000. Nine other asso
ciations were temporarily In the charge
of receivers, but their assets having
been placed In a satisfactory condition,
the receivers were discharged and the
banka permitted to resume business.
The number of voluntary liquidations
during the year was 65. and the ag
gregate capital of banks closed in this
manner was $32,635,000.
With the Mints.
The domestic coinage of the mints
during the fiscal year amounted to 148,
712.953 pieces, of the value of $228,202.-
151.55. Of this, $208,618,642.50 was gold
coin, exceeding the gold coinage of any
previous year In the country's history.
The coinage of standard silver dollars
amounted to $10,101,650; of subsidiary
silver, $7,719,231, and of minor coin,
$1,762,628.05. The silver dollars were
all coined from bullion purchased un
der the act of July 14. 1890. Of the
subsidiary silver. $5,643,000 was likewise
coined from this bullion.
Nov. 1, the amount of bullion In the
treasury purchased under the act of
July 14. 1890, was 2,742.589.71 fine
ounces, which has a coining value In
subsidiary money of $3,791,380.24.
At the request of the Secretary of
War. the purchase* of bullion required
for the sliver coinage of the Philip
pine Island*, authorized by the art of
Marrh 3. 1903. were made by the di
rector of the mint, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury.
There were purchased from March 26,
1903, to June 30. 19<t4, for this purpose
11,528,226.30 fin* ounces of silver, cost
ing $7,376,996.28. This bullion has been
paid for by the government of the
Philippine Islands.
The I ou nlrr'a llrbt,
The Interest bearing debt of the
United States outstanding Nov. 1,
was $896,157,770. There were $631,246,-

The aMount of the Inters#!-bearing
debt outstanding July 1, isot was
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1904.
$914,541,410. The amount July 1, 1904,
was $895,157,440, a reduction of $19,-
383,970.
The Public Mono#.
The monetary operations of the
government have been conducted
through the treasurer of the United
States, nine subtreasury officers, the
treasury of the Philippine Islands, the
American Colonial Bank of Porto
Kico, and 858 national-bank deposita
ries. The amount of public moneys
held by the bank depositaries on
June 30, including funds to the credit
of the treasurer's general account and
United States disbursing officers, was
$110,726,253.49, a decrease since June
30, 1903, of $37,116,357.03. One June 30,
1904. there were 270 regular and 570
temporary depositaries; 158 were des
ignated during the fiscal years and
eighteen discontinued. On Nov. l,the
number of depositaries was 835, and
the amount of public moneys held by
them was $114,558,481.84.
Customs Revenues.
Customs receipts for the year were
$23,000,000 less than in the previous
year. While there was a further re
duction during the early months of the
present fiscal year, these receipts are
now' Increasing, and there is no reason
to believe the revenues for the year
from this source will be less fhan in
1904. The falling off in 1904 over that
of the previous year was due more
largely to abnormal conditions in 1903
than to depression in 1004. There was
collected, for instance, in duties on Iron
and steel and manufactures thereof
$17,000,000 during 1903, and only $9,000,-
000 during the last fiscal year. This
difference is accounted for by a de
mand for iron and steel products in ex
cess of the capacity of American fac
tories during the former year, which is
not likely to be repeated.
Three other causes contributed to the
falling off of customs revenues in 1904.
First, the abolition of the war tax on
tea, which caused a loss of over $2,000,-
000; second, the abolition of the coun
tervailing duty on sugar, which result
ed in an estimated reduction of over
$300,000; third, the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, which caused a loss to the
customs revenues of the United States
estimated at $5,375,000 on sugar and
$2,215,000 on tobacco.
Increase In Free Goods,
It is also worthy of note that there
has been a constant increase in the rel
ative proportion of free over dutiable
goods. The total imports of merchan
dise during October, 1904, was a little
over $92,000,000 as against a little less
than $82,000,000 in the same month of
the preceding year, but practically this
entire Increase was in free imports.
During the first ten months of the
present calendar year, free imports in
creased in round numbers $29,000,000,
while dutiable imports decreased $26,-
000,000.
Internal revenue receipts show a
slight, though immaterial, increase In
1904 over 1903.
Miscellaneous receipts collected dur
ing the current fiscal year show an in
crease to date of over $3,000,000. This
is more than accounted for, however,
by the payments made by the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition Company.
The profit heretofore derived from
silver coinage has become unimport
ant. The seigniorage yielded over
$9,000,000 in 1902, $6,000,000 in 1903, less
than $5,000,000 in 1904, and during the
current year It is not likely to exceed
$2,000,000.
The National quarantine,
The protection afforded the United
States proper in the exclusion of quar
antinable disease was continued at
the forty national maritime inspection
and disinfection stations located in the
waterways and ports of entry upon the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts; 7,-
021 vessels were inspected and 323 ves
sels disinfected. National quarantine
stations have been continued at all the
principal ports of Porto Rico, Hawaii,
and the Philippine Islands.
During the fiscal year 1904. small
pox was reported from thirty T seven
states and territories, with a total of
25,106 cases and 1,118 deaths. During
the previous fiscal year, 42,590 cases
and 1,642 deaths were reported.
From Sept. 24, 1903 to March 18, 1904,
there were reported In Laredo, Tex.,
1,014 cases of yellow fever, with 107
deaths.
The I’lngne.
The co-operation of the state . and
municipal authorities of California with
the public health and marine hospital
service for the purpose of eradicating
plague infection in the Chinese district
of San Francisco has been effective,
and the work has been steadily car
ried on under the direction of service
officers.
The surgeon general invites attention
to the danger to the United States,
and especially to the canal zone, by
reason of the prevalence of plague in
Peru, Chile, Brazil and other South
American countries, and states that
active quarantine is a present neces
sity.
DEPARTMENT OF THE
INTERIOR DURING 1904.
Secretary Hitchcock's Annual Re
port a Voluminous One.
Washington, Dec. 7. Secretary
Hitchcock's annual report of the De
partment of Interior was made public
to-day. The year, he says, was one
of much achievement in all branches
of the service. The laws relating to
the protection of the public domain
and the timber thereon bave been rig
idly enforced, and a conspiracy enter
ed Into in California and Arizona
looking to the defrauding of the gov
ernment of a large acreage of public
lands has been defeated and the lead
ing spirits indicted.
The Indiana.
The report Is a voluminous one and
covers over 300 printed pages. It
deals at length with the public lands
and the Indians. The Indian popula
tion has varied but .slightly from pre
vious years, the number being about
the same as reported last year—27o,-
000. Of this number, about 180,000
occupy 156 reservations in the various
states and territories, containing about
55,127,000 acres, outside of the state of
New York and the Indian Territory.

Ten additional agencies have been
abolished during the year, under the
authority of law, and the duties per
taining thereto devolved upon the In

cations, state selections, swamp lands,
railroad and wagon road selections, In
dian allotments, etc., 13,951,548.21 acres,

The report of the commissioner of
pensions shows that during the year,
the total number of pensioners on the
roll was 1,043,919, and the number re
maining on the roll t the end of the
year was 994,762, a net loss of 1,783

other causes 5,337, a total of 49,157, a
net loss for the year of 1,783. The
number of deaths of soldier pensioners
for the year was 31.728, and of this
number 30,071 were volunteers of the
