New York, May 1—The government's finances for April make a better show- ing than the experts had expected. Although the month alone shows a de- ficit of about $1,500,000 and at orne time promised to do much worse, a sudden rally in iis closing days put the accounts for the fiscal vear over the line from deficit to surplus, and the whole showing to date is $1,531.825, above disbursements. At this fime last vear the government had spent $17,000,000 more than it had received. Although the working balance and the general fund have each fallen about $2,900,000 tetal holdings of cash in the treasury vaults were never so great. More than $1,808,000,000 is held there. Even though the working bal- ance is down to $28.000.000 and the general fund to $85,000.000, treasury officials find no cause for uneasiness. Both items were much less at various times last year and the treasury ran on an even keel, The continued easy condition of the market and the cal! from investors from all parts of the country for government guaranteed securities would make it possible for Secretary MacVeagh to bring out the waiting bond issue at any time. The indications, however, are it will not appear untll after June 1. The treasury wili be called upon to make interest payments this month amount- ing to some $2,000,000. That, however, will not be regarded as a drain be- cause it represents the interest on only about $267,000.000 of the public debt.
