EFFECTS OF FALL IN THE BRITISH REVENUES.
London, Feb. 24. The latest official figures of the British revenue situation show a current deficit of £97,000,000 com- pared with a deficit of £58,000,000 in mid-February of last year. By the time the accounts were closed last year the revenue had overtaken expenditure, and there was a sur- plus of £18,000,000. The revenue this year, however, is £22,000,000 down, and the expenditure shows an increase of £17,000,000..
