or decrease of post Office receipts is one
of the best indications of the tendency
of business. A compilation of the

of this year the receipts were $21,
larger than during May, 1896 The st.

showing. Its receipts last month were
So. 4s6 less than during the correspond
ing month of last year. The total re-
