THE STAMP TRADE.
An English PhiIatelist Tells OF Meth
DDS of Business.

An English PhfIateIfst Tells Of Meth
DDS of Busfness.
From the London Standard.
At the Liverpool bankruptcy court Bsr-
tram Allen. q matchmaker and dealer IN
foreign stamps. came up for public examk-
nation, and In reply to the Official receiver
gave some interesting experiences OF hia
dealings in the stamp trade. One OF the
debts due to him was from Williams Il Co.
Of Lima, Peru. for stamps he had supplied.
They had advertised very largely in all the
philatelic journals In Great Britain and
had got selections OF stamps from himself
and other people. giving as references
Messrs Stanley Gibbons & Co. and other
firms. Having got q lot of stamps from all
parts OF the world, they ~id bolt with
the lot. and nobody had been able to get
any satisfaction from them. The bankrupt
further said he had begun as q collector
of stamps. and had gradually merged"
into dealer. He bought both from clerks
in Offices and from firms, paying from 3s.
Cd. to los. per hundred stamps. He bought
the mails"
1t was now quite a common practice for
principals OF Arms to sell the foreign
stamps received at their Offices, stamps be-
ing no longer the perQuisites OF the office
boys. Principals took the proceeds. and
used them for tobacco money" or for
charitable purposes. There was now. the
stamp business There we're twenty -fivs
or thirty firms of dealers In the Strand. He
reckoned his profits from the stamp trade
at 25 per cent. The utmost he had paid for
q collection was fz50 this being four or
ive years ago. and he had sold Il for f4So
right away. That was his most successful
deal. He believed he could make money
at the trade now Il he hsd capital Thsrs
stamps. Buyers were everywhere; Loadon
was tesming with them
