COMMERCE STAMPS
KEEN DEMAND BY COLLECTORS EXTRA SUPPLY REQUISITIONED (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Oct. 6. So great has been the run on commerce stamps in Auckland that at the moment there are no supplies of the 6d, 4d and 2Jd issues. Collectors have been extraordinarily busy, and on the opening day of the sale (October 1) single orders up to £3OO were placed for the stamps, some collectors buying for overseas. Postal officials say they have placed no restrictions on the sales — first come, first served. Yesterday a further supply of 2|d and 6d stamps was available, the former being sold out within half an hour and the remainder by midday. BIG DEMAND IN WELLINGTON 'Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct. 6. Inquiries at the post office show that the demand for new commerce stamps has been so great that the supplies of some denominations are already sold out and the remaining ones will not last long. Only a limited number was printed and when the stocks are exhausted there will be no replacements. The figures are not available at present as to the number printed of each denomination
