Letters parcels and cards have been cleared up In good shape and, though many packages still are being received through the mail, they will be deliv ered promptly. "The public apparently heeded our advice about mailing early, so far as parcels are concerned." said the post master, "for packages appear to have been mailed about a day earlier than usual. Christmas cards have nearly swamped us the last few days, though, for many were not put in the mail until the last minute. The vol ume of incoming business may ex ceed that of last year by nearly 15 per cent." Although the mall was decreasing, the force of extra men and extra trucks was not reduced yesterday.
