 The letter rate for Great Bri- tain (England, Scotland and Wales) and also for Northern Ireland and Irish Free State, is now five cents for the first ounce and three cents for each additional ounce; while the post card rate is cents per card.
 The new rates for Canada, New foundland and Labrador have been in effect since September 1st, and the new rates for England, Scot land, Wales and Ireland were ef- fective October 1st.
