New York. March 2, 1805.
Walking along the gallery that
overlooks the city department of the
Xew York Postofiiec where, even in
broad daylight there twinkle thous
ands of electric .lights, you will come
to a stairway which leads you into
the Northern end of the building,
and there, in cramped, insufficient
quarters, a corps of sixty men re
ceive and distribute each week from
Europe alone an average of one hun
dred thousand foreign letters to res
idents of this city, and three hun
dred and fifty thousand additional
letters addressed to out of town peo-
iTe by each of the incoming mail
carriers.
Just how long it takes a letter

j the closing iff the mail, and the av -
erage number of letters received in
the last moments is from six to
eight thousand. This apparently
unmanageable mass. of mail is han
dled by eight people. Passing from
the drop where it is received, the
letter goes to the cancelling machine,
which can by the aid of a single
man cancel, .stamp and stack 33,000
letters an hour. From this machine
the letters are given to the separa
tors, who distributes them first with
reference to the country to which
they are addressed and, second, ac
cording as they are for open or close
mail.
At the last moment the way bill
must be made out and in duplicate.
This way bill contains an accurate
and detailed statement of the num
ber of letters,' points of destination
and the central offices in this coun
try from which they come and the
weight of the entire mail, and when
it is verified and properly checked
on the European side it is the only
receipt which the office has for the
mail that had passed through the
department. The length of time
allotted for this important is, at the
outside, fifteen minutes. The letters
from this country to Europe are of
course carried to other countries un
der contracts made by the Govern
ment, and the report of the office at
New York is the basis upon which
payment is made. This is true of
all mail handled at this port with
the exception of the mail from Cana
da, which merely passes through the
olhce in transit
inscribed ''red bags." aud before
any part of this mail can be remov
ed from the official who has charge
its exact detail must be verified and.
approved.
To facilitate the immediate deliv
ery of mails to important European
cities such as Naples, which is en
route to the general delivery of
Modena-Turin, the Naples mail is
the central point of the distribution
To prevent the loss of the mail bag
every possible precaution is taken
and each tag that bears the address
is in duplicate. These tags are
printed on the stoutest linen and arc
so tied that if the outer address be
comes torn off or lost there will still
be on the inside bag its counterpart
giving the necessary Information.
The corps of the foreign department
is more stable and changes less fre
quently than any other of the postal
service, and this is largely due to
the fact that without experience it
would be utterly impossible to mas
ter the intricacies of a business
which presents as difficulties not-otir
ly an infinite amount of technical
detail and the reading of foreign
tongues, but a knowledge of exigen
cies which may arise at any moment
and are determined solely by tlie
condition of winds and waves.
A vast number of letters is dis
tributed on the steamers themselves
by employes who are known as "sea
P. O's." This experiment has prov
ed a complete success, and on each
of the boats there are two clerks and
an assistant. How large an amount
of matter is thus made ready for im
mediate transition may be inferred
from the fact that they frequently
work during tlie entire passage from
sixteen to eighteen hours per da'.

Last Week in Trade Circles.
Sjifctal Corrvl'ii!fnfe.
New York-, Mch. 4. lSDa.
The business situation during the
past week has developed little
change. Improved weather condi
tions have quickened activity in the
general jobbing trade; the West
bound movement of manufactured
goods has increased, and while rail
road earnings compare unfavorable
with those of last year in February,
the Chicago seaboard freight tonnage
during' the last three weeks has ex-
I ceeded that of the corresponding pe
riod last year. Industrial-activity
has been fairly well maintained. A
rise in sterling exchange rates to the
gold shipping point gave rise to ap
prehensions of a renewal of gold ex
ports; and these fears, in connection
with foreign selling of s.vurities,
tended to retard improvement in the
Stock Exchange markets. But the
operations of the Government bond
S3ndieate in fulfillment of its con
tract to protect the Treasury re
serve have prevented any outflow of
gold and demonstrated the ground
lessness of any uneasiness on this ac
count. Merchandise exports from
New York last month fell a little
below the totals for the correspond
ing period last year; but the de
crease was due largely, if not wholly
to lower values for the cotton, pro
visions, wheat, flour and other sta
ples exported. Imports in three
weeks show a comparative increase
of nearly $(5,000,000. Business fail
ures in the United States and Cana
da during last week numbered 2VS.
against ijttl for the corresponding
week last year.
Notwithstanding confident predic
tions of an important decrease in
cotton acreage this season, the mar
kets ha' continued weak. a:,d
prices have receded 1 -li! of a cent a
pound, owing t the continued liber-
I al crop movement and the weight of
i'sunpiies ia sight. Exports keep u:
well: but at i
values the great
ly increased outgo conn t;
or money return than

er a sma'.!
the lighter
years. Do-
comparative increase of als. 12!; bio.s
so far during the crop year. Busi
ness in staple cotton goods has con
tinued to reflect actual jobbing re
quirements; and the position "f val
ues has continued to some extent it:
buyers' favor, ait hough then have
been no important quotable changes.
There has been a good trade ia fancy
cotton fabrics at ilrst hands; and an
i improvement in the general jobbing
j distribution of all kinds of textile
oodsr
"Wheat prices have advanced 1,
cents per bushel. The strength liar
been largely due to a reduction in
visible stocks. The latter are still
large and in excess of what they were
a year ago: but the maximum wa.
reached at a comparatively early
date this season, and the stocks at
i domestic points of accumulation
have gone down nearly lO.Oim.ooti
j bushels in a little over two month,
as compared with a decrease of only i
1,7(1-1, 000 bushels in the correspond-1
ing period last season and only '171.-'
(iOO bushels two years ago. The j
1 movement to interior centres has ;
j continued liberal; but tin' rapid de-j
crease in Northwestern elevator i
stocks shows that the bulk of the re- j
cent shipments has not been direct i
from the hands of the farmers.
There is a general belief that farm
ers' reserves of wheat are much
smaller than they were a year ago:
and more than usual interest will at
tach to the forthcoming official esti-
mates on that subject. Liverpool
stocks of wheat have decreased L
000,000 bushels within the last
month; and the world's visible sup
