 the Post Office
Business Not Up to That
 of Last Year

The annual Christmas spsh Of letters and packages is over for q tired band of regular and extra post office workers in this city. The pressure of business slackened Sat urday after several days of feverish activity.
 The backbone of the Christmas rush last year was broken at d time corresponding to that of this year. Postal authorities stated this morning that the amount of cards handled this year was 10 per cent less than a year ago and little less than 10 per cent on parcels over of last year.
 Reductions are easily traceable to the economic depression which puts q curb on the amount of gifts sent through the mails.
