Chater & the fol. Ire. at p. 477 of the Press. Before noticing Hkny Weekly the affect of this exchange question on the Expenditure side of the Estimall I will give the Revenue figures of last few years, to show how far the Revenue may be regarded as flourishing.

The Revenue is therefore fairly steady at about $2,000,000.

The following Items, on which the 1893 Revenue appears to have differed from the original Estimate & which have been based on the revised Estimate for 1893 more or less:

Some of these Items is of course realise more year than is now anticipated; but on the whole it is not safe to prophesy that we shall get much (if anything) over the total Estimate of $2,000,000.

On the other hand this Expenditure, which, excluding Works to be paid for out of Loan, only falls short by about $8,000 is almost certain to be exceeded owing to the low rate of Exchange, since whatever may happen the more distant future, the dollar can hardly be expected to rise to 2/6 this year.
