The new stamp which is of the fid denomination, is of the . same design and colours as the present 7d value which will be withdrawn from sale at the close of business on March 7. When the Centennial stamps ymre being prepared, the selected denominations were considered to be the most suitable for the prepayment of the postage rates then in force; but with the recent alteration in postage rates an 8d denomination (the initial parcel rate) is more convenient and is accordingly being made available.
