| British merchants and manufacturers con-
TESS surprise at the increase In the exports Of
American piece cotton goods to China In the
past three or four years. Up to the twenty
seventh OF May last the exports Of such goods
were, according to the Journal OF Commerce:
In 1876, 11O, 1872 bales; In 1877 132,795; In 1875
1866; In 1879 down to May az, 71,76s. For
the current year, II will be seen, the increase
is extraordinary up to the latest dates, indl-
eating that the entire shipments Of cotton
piece goods to China from this country dur
ing 1879. unless materially checked by the
late advance In price, will far surpass any
previous record.
The Dead Letter Office ct Washington re-
veals some curious facts, and one striking
| feature Of its operations Is the receipt Of let
ters containing money and other valuables.
Special efforts are made to return or forward
them and per centrum OF such letters are
disposed OF. Some letters containing small
amounts, sent under fictitious names for Inn
proper purposes, and some communications
sent to lottery dealers, after failing OF delivery
through order Of the Postmaster General, as
in the latter case, or for other reasons, are re-
fused by the senders, who dlsclaim all knowl-
edge of them. About 800 in greenbacks and
$1,000 In government bonds are the largest
amounts that have been taken from letters in
recent years. Twelve Thousand dollars Is the
largest amount that has ever been In single
letter. A. draft unclaimed and consequently
bogus, found In one letter, twas for $4,000. 600.
1t Is noticed that since the fractional currency
has been retired, postage stamps to about the
same amount have appeared In letters re-
ceived.
