BACK TO TWO CENTS JULY 1.

The return of 2-cent letter postage on July 1, as a result of the passage of the new revenue bill, is emphasized in information received today by Postmaster Littlefield advising him to warn purchasers of stamped envelopes against stocking up too heavily on the 3-cent denomination. The 3-cent rate, which has been in force since October 2, 1917, is discontinued by Section 1401 of the new revenue law, which repels Section 1100 of the revenue law of-1917. The new rate applies to all first-class matter which will be carried after July 1 at the rate of 2 cents for each ounce or fraction of an ounce.

Users of ' post cards are also advised to buy no more of the 2-cent denomination than they will need before July 1, when the 1-cent card will again be issued.
