Handling Of the Mail Speedily
and Without Confusion.

The postoffice will be moved into it's
new quarters, on West Park street. to-

terruption on Friday morning.
The new quarters are probably the
finest in the northwest. and a sufficient
amount of floor space has been provided
for both the public and the clerks. The
tlxtures are all of inch sawed oak
and We're supplied by the Yale-Towne
Manufacturing company of Stanford
Conn.
Hhefe are two large entrances into the
office, and there will be no crowding. as
there mas been in the present quarters.
On the right or east side, of the en-
trance the private boxes are located,
and take up one whole side of the room.
In all there are 1910 boxes, many of
which are intermediate in size, and SO
are OF extra size. In addition to these
there are four large newspaper bins.
At the end of the boxes, in the north
east corner. is situated the window
which will be devoted to packages. and
near by, in the rear of.the office. are
three general delivery windows. Also.
in the rear are the windows for the mail
clerk and the carriers.
On the left west side, of the en-

sary to build mailing platform. Every

event of an extraordinary mail the
clerks will be able to handle it speedily
and without confusion.

RELATIVE TO SILVER

The commercial movement oe silver
last year certainly does not indicate
any reduction in the worlds demand
for the metal. With an output, which
increased in the United States and was
fully maintained in all the other i'm
portant producing countries, there was
no indication of an excessive supply.
On the contrary the average price in
New York increased steadily through
the year, and the average quotation for
fine silver in New York was 61.i1 cents
an ounce as compared with 1888 cents
in 1899 and $500 in 1898, says the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal.
The demand for silver in the indus
tries and the arts was large, both in
this country and Europe, as might be
| expected in period of general pros
perity. This had it's effect. but the chief
| factor in maintaining the demand for
the metal was the large quantity re-
| quired for the east.
While the United States supply is fast
becoming the most important factor in
the silver market, the clearest and best
| statistics of the movement of the metal
are those kept in connection with the
London market, and it is to them that
we must chiefly refer. The production
| of silver from ores mined in the United
| States last year was 6O,478,276 fine
ounces valued at $37 085, 248, and in ad.
Aitfon we made or refined from foreign

year the total exports of silver from
the United States were valued at $66,

imports in all forms, reached a valu
of s26, 46l 40. There was retained an
