In addition to the actual receipts of the various stations, made up by the sale of stamps, etc., as described, their financial transactions incident to the money-order and postal-savings business are tremendous, as will later be shown in detail under the heading "Division of Money-Orders" and "Postal Savings"; suffice it to say here that the City Hall Station issued last year money-orders to the value of $3,183,209, and the Madison Square Station money-orders to the value of $2,004,273, while Station "B" had to the credit of its postal-savings depositors $6,786,622, Tompkins Square Station, $5,580,389, and Station "U," $4,595,974.
How greatly the business of the stations has grown is evidenced by the fact that in 1875 the gross receipts for the year amounted to but $3,166,946.19, which is less than the receipts for one month at the present time, the receipts for last July amounting to $3,821,095.94.
