Treasury outlook shows slower income from customs and taxes
The article notes a slackening of business and reduced import activity after the October November panic. Customs and internal revenue receipts fall as merchants delay duties payment, distillers buy stamps at high prices, and high priced imports drop. December yields a heavy deficit, with six months to December 31 1907 in deficit by over 9 million, marking a major shift from prior surpluses.

Treasury Faces Large Deficit as 1907-08 Opens
The article notes a December shrinkage of 8.5 million dollars credited to December with early January returns showing the worst may be over as income fell only 2.3 million. Expenditures exceed last year by 3.8 million, predicting a possible 10 million net loss for January versus 18 million in December and a year to date deficit of 11.762 million. If recovery lags, a sizable deficit remains unlikely to be avoided. A year end 1906-07 surplus stood at 86.045 million, leaving substantial margin to overcome for balance in 1907-08.
