NEW YORK, March 20.-United

an aggregate volume of all Govern

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 20-Cotton
was steady today on trade buying
and week end covering, which ab-
sorbed liquidation. July sold up from
1876 to 1888 and closed at 1880,
with final prices / to points net
higher.
The market opened unchanged to
S points lower following easier Liver
pool cables. Foreign and commission
house selling was taken by active
trade prlce-flxing, rebuying and COW
ering. Offerings were less active fol-
lowing declines of IS to 64 points
from midweek highs.
Rallies extended to net gains of 7
to l3 points during the middle OF the
morning, but renewed liquidation ap-
peared on the bulges and final prices
were off about to points from the
highs.
Aside from the improved technical
position, there was little in the news
to account for the action of the mar
ket. Recent improved buying on de-
clines attracted some favorable COM
ment, but uncertainty continued over
the prospects for acreage.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the close of
the week was estimated at $4,000
bales, against $4,000 last year and
$1,000 two years ago.

A Precedent

lied the sale Of q set Of three
stamps to be sold only to stamp
collectors at the 1928 Interna-
tional Philatelic Exhibition which
was held in Monte Carlo.
Thus probably comes to an end
q heavy traffic Of new issues Of
postage stamps. Monaco Is the
only country to consider with
drawal of its stamps and adopt
those Of another nation while 1t
still retains its position as an in
dependent state.
The reason for this sudden de
parture from stamp dealing by
Monaco is to save sufficient
funds to be used in the building
of more roads throughout this
picturesque principally.

by a foreign dispatch stating that
the French government is nego-
tiating with Prince Louis II, the
present ruler of Monaco, to substi-
tute the stamps of France and the
general French postal system as an
effort to save whatever remains
of the meager royal treasury OF
this European state.
Should this prospective change

views Of the principality will come
to an abrupt end.
Source of Revenue
Monaco first issued postage
stamps in 1885 and, until 1920,
these stamps portrayed its rulers
On March 20, Of last year, the mar
rage Of the daughter Of Prince
Albert, monarch of the time, was
celebrated throughout the state
AS such events are costly ones, the
royal treasury was practically ex
hausted.
But the Prince soon discovered
that the issuance OF a special SCI
of postage stamps with an aool
tional value overprinted on then
along with the date of the wed
ding would more than make uE
for the deficit. This was don'
and an edict was issued com
manding the subjects OF the staN
to purchase these stamps.
Upon the birth OF a child u
the daughter a year or so late
another celebration was staged
with postage stamps issued TO
the occasion to ultimately pay TO
the festivities. A special set o
stamps was issued and over
printed with an additional value

Bookings for special stamps dot
the future schedule Of the Dlvl-
sion of Stamps and the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing. Included
in the listings which have already
been given official approval are
the territorials and the 24-set regu-
lar issue to replace the current
regulars. Plans for other stamps
yet to be approved include the
Constitution stamp, the trans
atlantic and the Delaware ter
centenary.
Consequently with this heavy
schedule little hope is left for
those who desire the Indian
stamps.
Indians on United States post
age are nothing new or different.
A cursory glance at the pages OF
a well-filled album devoted to U.
S. adhesives establishes the fact
that no less than is stamps have
Indian portraits or designs de-
voted to Indians.
The first stamp of the United
States to depict an Indian was the
$50 newspaper stamp of 1875.
From thence to the Michigan and
Oregon commemorative of 1896
Indians have been used as an in
termittent motif for many Of the
U. S. stamps.
Herewith is a complete listing
of stamps of the United States
showing in some manner or form
portraits or other reference to the
American Indian:
1875 Issue Newspaper and Peri
odical Stamps Sixty-dollar de
nomination showing vignette OF an
Indian maiden with forest anc
wigwam, for background.

1880 Massachusetts, Bay Com

1880 Charleston Is. c. Com

1884 Wisconsin Tercentenary

1896 Michigan Centenary. 3-cent
Ornamental corner design OF In
dian in canoe and wigwams.
1886 oregon Territory Centen
NAL. 3-cent-Ornamental cornel
design of Indian on horseback.
The fact that Post Office officials
have in mind the above listing o!
stamps honoring in some manner
or form the American Indian, may
be the positive reason why such s
series is unlikely. However, in al
probability, Indians will play al
important part in future designs
of U. S. postage stamps after tn
manner of the above listingS.
