The adoption OF letter postage OF
cents an ounce between the United
States and the United Kingdom Is an
interesting experiment that IL likely
to have far-reaching results. The
agreement. which will go into effect
oct. ! Of this year, follows the reduc-
tion by the universal postal union of
the international rate Of letter postage
from ; cents a half ounce to cents
for the first ounce and 3 cents for each
additional ounce. II Is a case Of the
restricted union that Is permissible ua-
der the articles Of the universal union

In the letter rate between this country
and Canada and Cuba. Naturally, II
the arrangement proves to be satlsfac,
DRY, ID should lead to other arrange

United States and countries In
continental Europe, and 1t is con-
fdently expected that 1t will be
satisfactory both here and In the
British Isles. One result that Is
predicted Is very large increase
In business correspondence. The
difference on the cost. OF sending out a
large number OF business circulars will
be very large. and the tendency will be
to multiply letters rather than to save
the 8 cents. 1t IL far to assume, In
