INCREASE PARCELS POST.
Washington, June 30.—Special.™■
After today, under a parcels post
agreement with Great Britain, parcels
up to a weight limit of eleven pounis
may be mailed to Eiirland, Scotland
and Ireland. Postmaster General
Meyer believes that this will material-
ly Increase the number of percals sent
to the United Kingdom and from the

States. At the present time, a pack-
age weighing lit excess of four pounds'
six ounces cannot be sent in the maiV* |
to the United Kingdom.
There are now thirty-three foreign
countries with which we have parcels
post conventions; with rJlne, the
weight limit is four pounds six ounc s,
and with twenty-four it is eleven
pounds. It is the Intention to make
the maximum weight eleven pounds
lu/ all countries.
Owing to tiie objections of the ex-
press companies, however, this weigh:
limit will not apply to points within
the United States.
