MERCHANDISE By MAIL.
New York World

| On the tirst of the present month, by order
OF the Postmaster-General, the system of
registering third class matter in its transmits
sion through the mails went into effect.
such matter must be ind. rsed, either in
writing or in print, with the name and adj
dress OF the sender, and there may be added
brief description of the number and names
OF the articles inclosed. The registery Zee,
which is ~ cents, as we'll as the postage.
must be prepaid. With a view to ascertain
ing how the new system worked, q World
reporter called on Mr.. Forester, Superin-
tendent of the Registery Department of the
New York Office, and asked for information.
Third class registered matter, under the
new provision said Mr.. Forester. .is
coming in gradually, but tho indications are
that it is going to grow in volume. From
the LIST to the 5th of this month we received
ABOUT 4oO packages, principally merchan-
disc, and they averaged about two and a half
pounds each. Such dealers as Enrich & Co..
Ridley, and those who advertise samples, are
adopting the system. People in the country
order goods and request that they be for
warded by registered mail. We have few
packages coming in in proportion to the
number going out.'
''Will the system yield large income?''
1T Is not a matter of large revenue. The
registration fee will pay the expense of hand
ling it as registered Natter
''What is third class matter?''
"Brieay, third class matter is everything
admitted to the mails which is not written
matter. It includes books, merchandise.
etc. ':a~2 fA$Ea@a
GLOW about the sending of jewelry through
the mails?''
"We try to discourage it, because it is too
valuable to be sent in open packages. Still,
we get it. To-day, for instance, we had a
lady's pendant. It was made of gold, was
deeply studded with diamonds, and was of
exquisite workmanship. The sender placed
1t In an open package, on which he paid one
cent IN addition to the 10 cent registration
fee. By leaving 1t open for inspection he
took the chances of exciting some mans Gu
pidity, and saved five cents.
"Have the contents of all packages to be
examined?''
eyes, before registration
GLOW is the system going to affect the ex-
press companies?" asked the reporter.
ut will undoubtedly infringe on their
business. Business men will soon take ad-
vantage of it to much greater extent than
they do now. They will advertise that on
receipt of the registration fee and postage
they will send any goods ordered by mail
We have already had many inquiries on the
subject. Goods can be sent by mail cheap
er than by express, and the system will be
found of great service where there are no ex-
press offices.''
"What advantage has the system?''
"It has this: The sender of registered
matter gets a return receipt, showing that
the package has been delivered, signed by
the person who receives the parcel An
other advantage is that the packages are
treated with all the care of registered let
ters." tf5s.
