With two weeks to run before the end of the financial year, the la- test Treasury returns show that ordinary revenue amounted March 16 to £681 358,585, which is an increase of $18,033.331 over last week's figures The estimate for the gear is £708,520,000, and the total revenue collected so far is therefore already within about £25,000,000 of Budget expectations. Ircome tax collected last week amounted to $5,603,000, bringing the total to date to £218,486,000, which is almost within one million pounds of the Budget Estimate for the whole year, of £219,500,000, collected up to the corresponding date of last year,

Mr. J. P. Morgan Shows The Way
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, March 1. Mr. JP Morgan lives during most of the summer months at his, Long Island home, Gen Cave, near the estate which he has now decided to sell.
He comes in to his Wall Street office every day, and has reduced time-saving to a fine art.
Rising at ejen, Mr. Morgan takes a swim, which is really the first stage in his daily journey to
Wall Street.
A 20-ton launch picks him up as he finishes his bathe. He has just time to shave, dress, and breakfast on board before the launch sets him ashore almost at the foot of Wall Street.

It is thought that American consumption for the first quarter will be 132,000 tons, as against an estimate of 140,000 tons,
while consumption in the second quar- ter will be considerably lower.
It is further pointed out that German rubber imports for Janu-s on the rallways" ary were twenty per cent. below last year and Textan imports of British rubber will be reduced by: twenty per cent.
