The great bulk of the item money orders
received" represents money sent to mer-
chants Of Sacramento engaged in what is
known as the country order business-the ship
ment by mail and otherwise of small pack
ages of goods. These figures are valuable as
giving force to the claim of Sacramento
merchants relative to the country order busi-
ness and the supply of the interior with goods
OUTSIDE OF large "hoiesailng. LIE Pos1ai Or

the total receipts by reason OF country ORDERS.
