| Sales Of Revenue Stamps.
The chier OF the stamp division of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau has prepared tabular statement show.
Ing the amount OF business done for the fiscal year
1S60-70 which will be incorporated in the Commits
sioner's next annual report. The number OF doOu-
ment stamps printed by the Continental Bank
Note Company in 1859 was 11S,O11 244 and for 1870
$780, 295, ,14l. Notwithstanding the increase In the
number Of stamps the government has realized less
BY SOC, 131 than from the sales for the year 1892
The increase IN the sale OF stamps seems to have
been confined to those OF the lower denominations,
ranging from two to fifty cents The falling Oh
in the receipts is attributable to the lessened
demand for stamps OF the higher denominations,
During the past fiscal year greater attention seems
to have been paid to the stamping of receipts and
cheeks the increase being over nine million Of
stamps. The proprietary stamps, printed by the
Philadelphia Company aud used principally on
patent medicines, in 1869 amounted to two hundred
and slxty-nine millions, and for 1870 two bun
dred and nlnety-eght millions, and gain to the
government In the receipts of $433 III from this
source. The stamps printed by the American note
type. imprinted on checks and documents, show an
increase OF nearly s200ooo last years receipts
