INVEROARGIIiL, Jan. 8. Sir Joseph Ward ,states that the revenue for the nine, months ended December 31st amounted to £6,307,----100, compared with £5,52fc>,000 for the corresponding period* of the previous year, the increase being £484,000. For the twelve months ending December the increase was £693,300. "The increase," says the Prime Minister, "is exceedingly satisfactory, and indicates remarkable buoyancy in revenue that has continued for so long a period. With anything like the same proportionate' increase for the balance or the last quarter, the financial position at the end of the year will show better results than at any time in the history' of the Dominion."- ■ ■
