FORTUNES. IN STAMPS
Some OF the Worlds Greatest Collections.
The Prince of Wales an Enthusiastic
PhilateliSt.
London Express,

London Express,
Few people outside the ranks OF
ardent pl1ilatelists have any idea OF
the enormous growth Of the post
age-stamp collecting craze during
recent years. 1t is a story tull OF
romance, the financial side OF which
bristles with figures representing
huge fortunes sunk in the tiny
scraps of paper which speed the
worlds correspondence.
Both as a hobby and as a busl-
ness stamp collecting has reached
proportions which give it very i'1l-
portant place among mundane pur-
suits. There are many private COL
lections worth from $4,000 to
100000, and the capital sunk i'll
the stamp traffic. is estimated to be
we'll over S5;ooo,ooo.
The financial importance OF the
trade is illustrated by the an1alga-
nation last February of two Lon
don firms with a capital OF over
Ss85 900. It was the auctioneerlng
department of this firm which sold
Mr.. Snith-Rylands small private
collection a few days ago tor S12,-
800. a price which was considered
to be very good for all auction sale
especially as the collection offered
contained comparatively few great
raritles.
But even here there were one or
two prices obtained for particular
stamps which at once show the
keenness of the collector and the
business Importance of the traffic.
For instance, a Saxony stamp OF
1851, with an error Of paper, real
lied S18o; a penny red and blue
British Central Africa stamp sold
for s235; and penny blue Cape
of Good Hope for S1oo.
Very often far higher prices than
these are obtained for single stamps
though it may be a long time be-
fore a stamp realizes anything ike
the $3.50 paid by the Prince OF
Wales last year for a I'd blue Mau-
ritius.
THE PRINCES SPECIALITY.

known to be a very enthusiastic
Dhilatelist; but it is not common

most cultured followers OF the
science OF stamps, and has cleared
up several doubtful points through
information gathered in his phila-
telical researches during his colon
ial tour.
Two Of his sons, Prince Edward
and Prince George, have already
caught the stamp fascination.
Prince Edward is specially inter-
ested in the Prince Edward Island
stamps. of which he owns conf
plete set.
Recently a philatelic journal ask
ed its readers their chief reasons
for collecting stamps, offering a
prize for the best reply. A large
majority gave 'as an investment,
as their first answer, and it IS IN
deed true that postage stamps are
not only a safe, but also highly
profitable investment.
Experts say that British Colon
ial stamps are the best from the
investors point of view, especially
those of colonies which have small
populations, and therefore print
comparatively few stamps.
TEN PER CENT.
It is stated to be only moderate
estimated that the earning value OF
stamps is 10 per cent. AS instances
of earning value may be mentioned
the los Lagos, which was sold in
1908 for 5000 and is now worth
$50, and the I pound Southern Nj
geria, whose market price three
years ago was $6.25 but is now $40.
Mr.. w. Hughes Hughes collec-
ton, made during thirtyseven
years, at a cost altogether Of only
s345, was sold for $4,000 An
other collection, that of the late
Mr.. Pauwels, of Torquay, which
originally cost $1,000 was sold, at
ter being put aside for twenty
seven years, for $4,000.
No collection of valuables occu-
pies such a little space as postage
stamps. The small strong room at
one representative firms head
Quarters contains more than $685.
600 worth of stamps.
There are 10000 names of Gus
toners in all parts of the world on
the books of one firm, the Prince OF
Wales, with standing order for all
new colonial issues, being among
the most important. For these GUS
toners about $4,000 catalogues OF
British and 10000 of foreign
stamps are prepared annually. The
stamps sold in a year run into mil
lions and the albums to at least
10000.
RARE STAMPS.
Rare stamps, such as some OF the
Sandwich Island, Maurltius, and
Australian issues, valued at about
$4,000 each, are constantly coming
into the markets, and are never
kept more than week.
AS collectors are increasing an
nually. especially in the public
schools. and prices and taklngs are
always rising, the traffic generally
must be considered to be in very
Aourishing condition.
But one does not wonder al. this
when it is stated that many wealthy
collectors spend from 5000 to
$4,000 a year on their hobby, and
that one-Philippe la Renotlere, OF
Paris, the greatest collector in the
vorld-has spent 100000 since
1870. His stamps are worth nearly
ST, 100000. and his annual eNpen-
diture with one firm alone averages
from $4,000 to $4,000. He en-
ploys secretaries, one to look after
his stamps and the other the post
cards, envelops and wrappers.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
(Montpelier Journal. J


Auditor Graham's biennial re-
port contains some interesting
facts and some important recon-,
mendations. The auditor states
that he has put in force a system
of double entry bookkeeping with
a competent man in charge who
devotes all his time to the bust
ness of the Office at Montpelier.
Considerable progress has also
been made in method, new set
of filing cases and a storage vault
having been installed.
1t appears, too, that complete
voucher system has been establish
ed and a uniform scheme of ac-
counting inaugurated in state in
situations, with monthly reports
to the auditor. An adequate
check is also placed on the
finances of said institutions and
all made a matter of monthly rec
ord. The directors of the state
prison and house of correction are
required to make a monthly report
that amounts to an inventory and
balance sheet.
All these signs of system in the
office of the states book-keeper are
gratifying to the taxpayer who re-
quires that his money shall be ex-
pended in a proper manner and a
just and accurate record made
thereof. The recommendations of
the auditor, naturally enough,
contain the most interesting fea-
lures of the report, from a popular
point of view at least.
Briefly, the recommendations
that Mr.. Graham makes in regard
to needed legislation are as fol-
lows:
Increased entry fee for cases
in county court or chancery, with
fee for cases discontinued and
settled out of court.

mittee. The report was read in
full and then a pamphlet contain
ing it was distributed among the

was then thanked and dismissed.
The resolution introduced by Mr..
DeBoer that it was the sense of

opposition, as was an amendment
