POSTAL RECEIPTS
INCREASE SMALL
THOUGH MORE NATTER is MALL
ED THAN YEAR AGO, POST
AGE is LOWER.

The effect Of the parcel post system
on the receipts of the local postoffice
Is apparent In the monthly receipts,
figures for the month of March, and 1t
Is probable 1t will cut bigger figure
during the next two months
The business done at the Richm ond
postoffice during March totaled $780,
674.5S. one and twenty-six- hundreds
per cent increase over the total for
March. 1913, when the receipts were
$75,713.18. Though the receipts for
the last month are larger than a year
ago. the showing is not regarded as a
good one, being below the average
monthly gain made in recent months.
The figures for March, 1914, are:
From sales of stamps and stamped
paper, s71,749.89; from second, third
and fourth class and box rentals, s4,-
924.
1t is said an explanation of the
smallness of the gain over the total OF
a year ago may be found In the fact
that much of the printed matter mall
ed q year ago went under the former
postal rate, while now such things as
catalogues in certain weights. are
mailed with postage paid at the parcel
zone rates.
The months of April and May being
months of heavy mailngs OF cata-
logues, it is probable that the increase
in postal receipts will be small though
there will be much more mailing done
than year ago.
