DECREASE OF MONEY ORDERs.-Super-
ntendent Macdonald, Chief of the Money
Order Division of the Postofice Depart
ment, in his forthcoming annual report,
says: "Perhaps one of the best indications
of the stringency and general business de-
preston Of the times is the decrease in the
amount of money transmitted by means of
money orders during the past year. The
decrease in the amount of international
money orders issued points to the concu-
sion that foreign born workmen, who hab-
itually remit portion of their surplus
earnings to needy relatives in their native
country have found it more difficult of late
to accumulate savings. The Superintend-
ent refrains from renewing the recommen-
dation made last year looking to the re-
duction of fees on domestic money orders
for the reason that domestic revenues have
decreased to a degree that would make it
ineXpedient. He does, however, recon-
mend the reduction of fees on foreign Or
ders from l! per cent. as at present to per
cent. In conclusion the Superintendent
gives at some length the reason for the re-
newal of the recommendation made in his
preceding report that postal notes be made
payable to bearer upon receipt at any post
office"
