F. Barnes at a lively Tate during the paat four month, give evi dence of furnishing a record this year Which will break the record of last .year, when the receipts amounted to DOO, the largest amount received nng twelve months In the history of local office. The high water mark previous to that waa reached In 11)05, when the total Import dutlea amounted to 1280,000. For four montha paat the dutlea paid Into the office have exceeded $100,000 per month. During the 17 daya of the present month recelpta have totaled 185.000.

It la nrohahla that the record for duty recelpta during a single month will be broken. The greateat amount oollected during any one month waa In July, 10S. when two steamers carrying grain bags ar rived In port about the same time. The custom office collected during that penoa iisu.ouo, ana up to the present time that figure haa remained conslder ably In excess of any other record at tained. The heavy recelpta during the present month are due largely to the arrival of the Aleala. She .carried a cargo cf grain bags on. which 180,000 In dutlea waa collected and 114,000 was levied on her rice ahlpmenta. Altogether morn than 160,000 waa collected from the ship's cargo. The Nlcomedla, which la due thai laat of thla month, also comes from the Orient and will carry a cargo which will yield the local customs office rich returns In dutlea. Should ahe arrive early. July will probably carry the rec ord for recelpta MESSAGES GO TO FRISCO For. three days Thursday, Friday and Saturday we will satisfy our necessary desire to further reduce our stock.
