Treasury Deficit in First Third of March Report
The treasury shows receipts of 9.325 million and expenditures of 11.354 million for the first third of March, a deficit of 2.029 million. Broad uncertainty arises from new congressionally appropriated funds that are becoming available, with a $615,000 payment on civil accounts. Customs receipts rise to 105.877 million year to date, internal revenue up 5 million, yet full-year revenues depend on last third-year performance and may miss estimates.
