Although the ordinary public does not
know it , there are In St. .outa , according to
the Itepubhic , several hmsimtbati , meit who ate
stamp collectors and who look Upon tisS
little pieces ot paper which the govern-
meats of nations sell as franks for taxes ,
letter carriage and like things its an
epicure regards a tine viant ! or a collt'ctor
oh art works regards a masterpiece. These
several hundred people and the half dozen
dealers who make. a business of buying anti
selling foreign stamps have beams anlong the
first to see the full effect of the war on the
markets , All stamps trout all countries
where interest is now attracted because of
the war have risen in value and local deal-
era say that within a few weeks stamps
front Cuba , the I'hiiipplnemm and hawaii will
reach a figure fully 100 per cent higber than
that recorded at the beginning of time year.
A reporter for the Republic visited the
atoro of a vromninent dealer and was shown
some of the stamps most in tlemnammd at
jresent ,
"I have sold out all may stock of etatnpa
from havana , tIme Philippines , Porte Rico
and Hawaii , " said the nierchant : "time de-
mont ! for theta was so great that there has
been an enormous sale and every dealer
in this city like diapeseti of his stock. This
has been the case in other cities anti 'alit
entice an instantaneous atlyamico in prices.
"When the new catalogue are lastied in
October the lists will he shown from 50 to
100 pci' cent. higher. The juvenile collectors
have taken the cheaper stamps and the
older collectors have grabbed up time cx-
venstve ones. Seine l'hlhippines sell at cx-
traordlnary prices , For a while Cuban
stamps were used in the Philippines , but
later the colonies haul Independent stamps
of their own. The first issue of 1854 are time
highest in price. The 5-cent orange stamp
goes at $12.50 ; the IO.cent rose sell at the
same price , anti the cheapest , a more plenti
ful stamp , goes at $5. These stamps are
rather crudely engraved anti have on them
the head of Queen Isabella. During the
santo year the Spanish government also
timado a second issue , which sells at much
the comae prices , These stamps were printed
in Spanish and were sent to the islands ,
As the years brought more use for stamps
they wore struck off in larger quantities
and have consequently become cheaper.
Some of time late issues sell at moderate
prices , a mmewapaper atammmp selling here at
from 5 cents up , All prices on these will
advance and collectors who are holding
stamps as a speculation wilt be able to
realize good profits.
thmbnn Stamps.
"Cuba is easier of access , and for that
reason there are more of the stamps , of that
colony on the market. There are more
Cuban stamps tmsed than those from the
Philippines , and , consequently , they are
hewer in price. They mmro largely taken by
collectors , however. The rarest are qqoted
at $10 , being those sold first during time year
1855. Some of the lower-priced ones are al-
umost as cheap as United States stamps.
Spain does not waste much time or thought
on her stammmpe. as does the United States.
England , France and several other powers ,
and they have mbot much artistic attractive-
ness. The Porte Rican stamps arc also In
demand , and the war has drawn attcntiou
to all Cuban and Philippine issues. When
the war opened we had a good stock of
these stamps on hand , and we were able to
sell thorn to many before the demand
cleammed out the stock. The big eastern
stamp and coin companies always carry
hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of
these stamps on hand , and they vill snake
special efforts to supply dealers , TIme war
has not only made a great demand for
stamps , but has caused foreign coins to
become scarce as well , We have experienced
as great a rush on Spanish coins as on
stamps. "
'Has the talk about Hawaiian annexation -
tion caused the demand for hawaiian
stamps ? " asked the reporter.
"Well , the Hawaiian stamps were always
good sellers , " replied the dealer. "But the
fact that the Uaited States may make ha-
wall a part of the States has made an extra
demand for lieustamps. . You see these
stamps ? " and the dealer opened a. book with
engravings of Hawaiian issues In it. "They
nra the best sellers. They were printed for
the Hawaiian government by a New York
company and go way up in price , This
2-cent sells at $3,500. There are not snore
than ten of timom kimown to be in existence ,
although some. may turn tip at any time.
The big stamp concerns employ men to
look up rare issues , trot long ago a number
of rare Issues were discovered in an old
hawaiian convent , There are many old
places such as that on the islands and when
they are searched there is no telling how
nsany valuable stamps will be found , Those
I speak of were discovered on some old
letters packed away In the disused belfry
of the place. The 1551 and 1812 issues con-
tam many rare tampe , A 5.eent and two
13-cent stamps of that date run in price
from $1,500 to $2,000 each , according to condition -
dition ,
"The 1851 liitss'aiian which
, sells at fronm
l,500 to $3,500 , were struck off as needed
and were made on any hind of imapor baatly.
For that reason they have different values ,
as there are very few of them of the same
appearance , "
The eogravngs of these stamps are attractive -
tractivo , from the point that tIme stamps
they represent are more oy loss ugly , They
are ornamented with time busts of various
Hawaiian kings and princes , all of a sifl1-
larity in poimmt of lack of facial beauty , Un-
darneath each are tIme Btrango names , many
of tlmern unpronounceable. "
1stw'smtini Stnnmps ,
The government struck tlmemn off as they
were wattLed and baa continued to do so
ainco with later leanest. By a shrewd idea
it reprints IdLer editions expressly for col-
lecture and iii one year realized $42,000 from
this source. When Uncle Sian formally annexes -
nexes the islands the United iltates stamp
will be substituted for time presemmt Hawaiian
stomps and the latter will soon become
valuable.
A party of enthusiasts who were vresent
at the time were talking of the great tom--
tunes that have been made in stanmims. An
expert In Baltimore recently made what Is
termed hI "turn.Up , " lie discovered an old
"hear" stamp of an issue of 1846 and paid
$2,000 for It , A low days later ho easily
disposed of it to a collector for 4,400. An-
ether instance occurred in Louisville , wimero
a fortune was nmado by the lucky ones who
wore In eq the deal and who by chmnco
secured a supply of very rare stamps arid
sold them at high prices.
"There were two cleaners in the county
court house , " said one of the collectors ,
"who were sorting over a lot of old docu-
macate preparatory to burning them , Among
the lot timoy found several strange.Iooklng
letters with curious red stamps on thorn.
One of time flqdcra told the other that. they
would save all the stamps amid try to sell
thorn to the son of a friend , the boy being a
collector , ot knowing that thmt'y were in
possession of something worth a fortune , the
men showed their finds to a couple of minor
city officials.
"The latter thought the stamps a good In-
and paid the Antlers 25 cents anti a
bucket of hoer for a portion of them 'the
elt' officials Svere shrewder timon the janitors
ftntl sotmght out a local coliector The latter
teognized the value of time stamps and
offered the possessors so large is figure tlmst
they were smart enougim to hohtl on to their
Purchase for more. Meanwhile time collector
told several of lmI friends ammtl the big stomp
firms of the east sent mcmi on to bid on time
finds , The competition for those stamps
became so gm-eat that the two imsems who
owned them solti out for a figure between
$30,000 anti $3,000. "
The war excitement line also made a
better dcnsnnd for Unite , ! States auth coii
federate 'war stnnmps of the civil war , thenteri
say , The eastern firms have thoroughly
cammvnssrd the south and have taken almost
e'ery stanmp left , yet every lion' nntl thems
somebody turns tip a lot of valuable stamps
In a lot. of old papers , Collectors ore a ! '
i-cathy beginning to form books of time msew
lactic of war stamps amid the latter will seine
day be of considerable more than their face
value ,
