BIG GAIN HERE
IN P 0. RECEIPTS
Returning Wave of Prosperity
Indicated in Report of Fed
'eral. Official.

One of h most encouraging signs of
daily gaining in size is a statistical re-
port issued from the office of the third
assistant postmaster-general. The fifty
largest cities in the country are listed
in the order of their size, with total re-
ceipts for the month of July, 1909, and
pended. The net percentage of increase
for all the posteffices is SIS; for New
ark, which ranks twenty-fourth in the
total receipts, a gain OF $7,442.50 gives
a percentage of 11.2S, which is 02.5 more
thar the average increase. Newark's
total receipts for last month were $751;
42S.93, and for a year ago were $67, 566.1S.
The largest increase for the month is
shown by Seattle, Wash, which, with
$S7,lS6.23 total receipts, shows a gain
Of ALA for the month. This increase is
OF course attributed 10 d great extent
to the exposition now in progress in
that city. The amount OF postal cards
sent out is said to be overwhelming. OF
course folks always write home for
money from an exposition and the

increase to this also.
A noticeable feature of the list is that
the postal receipts vary almost exactly
as the population, with a few excep-
tons. San Francisco, which is just get
ting started or its rebound and reformed
legs, shows an increase of 5.37; Wash
ington, d. c., increase of 1853. Jersey
City shows an increase of 1928, but that
is slightly below the average increase.
No other New Jersey cities are on the
list besides Newark and Jersey City.
The largest increase Is New York's
SIZE, 0S4.S1, and the smallest Allegheny's
$S1.61. The only two decreases are
shown by St. Louis and Scranton, the
former falling off $7,503. AS, and the lat
ter $917.1 Is.
The cities which are included in the
list aresNew York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Boston, St. Louis, Brooklyn, Gin

land, San Francisco, Kansas City, Min
