PYRAMID OF MAIL
 QUICKLY HANDLED
More Than Million Pieces Pass
 Through Post Office
ALL RECORDS PULYERIZED
Tons Of Letters And Parcel Post Contine to Pour in From All Di- rections Up to Last Minute Thousands Of Addresses Wrong.

More than million pieces Of mail have been handled by clerks and carriers in tho New Britain post office since last Monday morning. Every previous record established for volume of mail, efficiency and speed in handling it has been so thoroughly broken this year that there is no comparison with former years. Postal clerks and carriers and other officials in the office are winding up today the busiest week they ever had.
 According to Postmaster II. F.. Erwin, Tt was simply wonderful the way the boys worked to keep the mail going" With the best of CO., operation and enthusiasm through out the post office. every package was handled so rapidly in the gen. cral post office and the parcel post station that it would almost be safe ito say these parcels went through without stopping. At no time in the main post office was there an aC- cumulation of 100 packages at any one time. Every section of the city had one delivery Thursday, almost every section had two deliveries and in many cases there were three
 So rapidly were packages handled that thousands and thousands of pieces arriving during the early part of the week were delivered almost as rapidly as they were received and ot 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon there was not a single parcel left 1 in the bins at the post office. Thursday evening, however a car , load of 200 sacks arrived, yesterday another car load of 250 arrived and this morning still a third car load of 250 to 800 or more arrived, mak- 1 ing today the busiest day of the whole week.
 Since Monday morning it is esti. mated that New Britain people have i received between 50,000 and G0.0OO | packages through the mails. With between 710 and 8G0 sacks, it WAS estimated at the post office at { o'clock this morning that there were more than 12,000 packages in sigh to be delivered today. Seven truck left the parcel post station thi. norning for all sections of the city with the majority of these packages l The probability that other consien. ments would arrive during the dal indicates that there may be Christ r1as deliveries even on Monday. 1 Never before in the history of New Britain has the volume of mail beer as heavy as this year. Between 2,500 and 5000 sacks of parcel post not counting the thousands of so. called outside packages" which dc not come in sacks, were handled during the week.
 In first class mail the office handled more than a million piece; going and coming, fully a half mil, lion being mailed from this city.

some foreign trade buying and COW

movement continued and prices
showed net losses of about to 9
points at the end cf the first hour.
Foreign trade buying together with
covering checked the decline around

otherwise, was retarded by the fore.

the list, attracted attention when it
went into new high ground around
401A, where 1t compared with 38h, the
figure at which it was offered for pub
lie subscription. The rise appeared TO
be due to the fact that selling which
had been coming from people who
had subscribed with the intention of
taking quick profit mad now been
completed and the way was open for
higher prices.
The market for public utilities did
little either way but Western Power
was an exception and was bid up
points when it sold at 6612 With
the copper metal now firmly estab-
lished at 14H cents a pound, copper
stocks were disposed to go higher.
The selling which again came into

special causes. 1t is understood that

Merchandising Excellent

I'm our Judgment" said Mr. Simp-
son, general merchandising condi-
tions are excellent.
THE crop condition of the country
is excellent and the purchasing pow
er of the country, great as it is at the
moment, promises to be even better
for the rest of the year.
Our own business shows a healthy
gain in volume of distribution over
the same period of a year ago and we
anticipate that our distribution for
the rest Of the year will show an even
larger gain than for the period up 10
date.
Retailers stocks are comparatively
low, and while they have anticipated
their Fall requirements TO a greater
extent than in the last two seasons.
we believe that the demands to be
made upon them will compel frequent
trips to market to replenish their
stocks
