 The famous Dorning BccktOn collection of Greek stamps brought $12,5OO in a two day sale at Farmers in Bond street, London, recently. The late Dorning BecktOn, former pres ident of the Royal Philatelic So- ciety of London and widely known in America, devoted more than 40 years to amassing his collection, the greater part of which has now been acquired by British and continental collec- tors. The highest single price, 1,75O, was paid for an irregu- lar mint block of 21 of the deep chocolate, one lepton, denomin- ation of 1861-1S62.

The stamps are not to be delivered to the persons presenting the par- cels fcs mailing but are to be affixed oy the postmaster or an employe after the proper post age has ben paid. Stamps used in this manner shall be pre- cancelled in accordance with the conditions governing the pre- cancellation of postage stamps. Such use shall only be valid during December.
