The monthly average this year thus far bas been below the estimate, even for this usually unproductive period, in the matter of revenue; but the decrease is attributable to several causes, legislative in character, not the leas: important of whieh is the recommendation of the Commissioner of Kevenue, Hon. Mr. Wells, to reduce the tax on distilled spirits from two dollars to one dollar per galien which, of course, operates to check manufac’ ture of the article under existing rates. SURRATT.
