Stamp Market Trends Rise for Early Mint U S Stamps
The first volume of the Scott Catalogue signals an upswing in many stamps across the U S U N British Commonwealth and South America with notable gains for early mint U S issues in original gum. U N No 38 is cited at 140 dollars and while U N sets may continue upward most observers see a peak for that issue with later U N items still rising. British Commonwealth prices appear more stable with steady gradual increases. Overall the season is seen as potentially profitable for stamp collectors as demand grows and supply tightens.

Iowa farmers anticipate a bumper harvest as USDA projections show a second largest corn crop and a record soybean crop.
