The further reduction of $450,000 may be expected under the operation of those provisions of the act of October 1, 1890, which authorize the fortification of wines with grape brandy free of tax.

It is estimated that about 2,500,000 gallons of wine will be fortified and that about one-fifth of this bulk in grape brandy, say 500,000 gal. lons, will be required in the process, the tax on which would be $450,000. This would make the total estimated reduction in receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, aggregate $4,348,382.72.

In my last annual report I estimated that the receipts of this Bureau for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1890, would amount to the sum of $135,000,000.

I am gratified to state that the actual receipts for the fiscal year named were $142,594,696.57, which exceeded my estimate in the sum of $7,594,696.57.
