Suggestions for Coronation issue. of postage stamps are now under consideration by the Post- master-General, while the, general design of the King Edward issue is also receiving attention, states "The Times.”:

Pressure is being brought bear on the postal authorities for a special issue in May, but no decision is likely for some weeks until oficials have thoroughly discussed the proposals before them.
As to the King Edward stamps. it is still uncertain whether the present photographic design is to stay. A decision will be taken at an early date.

At the moment there is a world boom in British stamps, due to the

JUBILEE YEAR SALES "In an average year we lasue 7,000 500,000 single stamps, and Jubileo year saw an increase to 7,200,000,000. Sales this year will
show an even greater increase: Thirty million books of stamps are made up every year, while more than 800,000. rolls of stamps are turned out.

Dealers are buying in big quaatitles. and are not making the mistake they did with the 'Morocco' overprint Silver Jubliee issue, which they did not pur- chase so readily. As 題 result these stamps are now compara- tively rare. "Another
point of interest to the stamp collector is that we are gradually changing the water- mark of the Postage Due' stamps Iram 'G.VR.' to 'E.§.R.'"*
Philatelists continue to look with scant success for faults in the printing of British stamps. The proportion of imperfect Stamps that escape detection at source is infinitesimal, while paper wastage is slight.
