Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silver halide color photographic material and a method for forming a color image using said silver halide color photographic material, and more particularly to a method for forming a color photographic image to provide a color print whose non-image portion is good in whiteness with rapid processing. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well known that color photography is a process for obtaining dye images by developing a photosensitive material having dye-forming couplers and silver halide emulsions on a support with an aromatic primary amine developing agent, to cause the oxidized product produced from the developing agent to react with the dye-forming couplers (hereinafter called couplers). The field of color photography has been under strong demand to simplify and to make rapid this color development processing, and many improvements have been made in order to meet this demand; and new, simple, and rapid systems are developed every few years. To make the process rapid, it is required to shorten the processing time of each of the color-developing step, the bleach-fix step, the washing step, and the drying step. As a method for making the processing rapid, for example, a process is disclosed in International Publication Patent No. WO 87-04534, wherein a high-silver-chloride silver halide color photographic material is rapidly processed with a color developer substantially free from sulfite ions and benzyl alcohol. Although this process discloses how to shorten the developing time, it does not disclose at all how to shorten the time required to wash out, by the development processing, photographic dyes and the like used for increasing the sharpness of an image; and further, since the process does not contain sulfite ions, which have an effect of decoloring photographic dyes, if the process is applied as it is, the lowering of whiteness in the non-image portion is a problem. Further, although a process for quickening desilvering by lowering the pH of a bleach-fix solution is disclosed in US-A-4,828,970, this process undesirably acts to delay the washing out of photographic dyes, and therefore the lowering of whiteness remains a problem. The amount of such water-soluble dyes to be used is apt to increase more and more in future years with the market's strong demand for improved sharpness. JP-A ("JP-A" means unexamined published Japanese patent application) No. 286849/1988 discloses a technique for maintaining the optical reflection density at a certain level or over in the case wherein such a water-soluble dye is used. For such an increase in the amount of water-soluble dyes to be used for increasing the sharpness of an image, rapid processing as described above results in an increase of the residual amount of the water-soluble dye after the processing, which is becoming a serious problem of lowering in the whiteness. To quicken the washing out of a water-soluble dye, it is generally effective to make the thickness of the film reduced, but if the thickness of the color-forming layer is made too reduced, the desired density of the image cannot be obtained, lowering of the sharpness of the visual image is brought about, and, in spite of the use of the colorant, in some cases, it is likely to occur that the "apparent" sharpness looks lowered by contrast. In some cases, an image that was sharp immediately after its printing loses sharpness due to bleeding of the image during storage. If the thickness of an intermediate layer is made too reduced, a problem arises that mixing of colors due to the processing occurs, to damage the sharpness of color. The so-called protective layer for protecting silver halide emulsions is generally made up of two layers, that is, an ultraviolet-absorbing layer and a layer covering it; and if the ultraviolet-absorbing layer is made thinner, the ultraviolet-absorbing performance is lowered, which lowers the preservability of the image, while if the covering layer that is the uppermost layer is made thinner, such a problem occurs that the fogging sensitivity is lowered by pressure, or flaws occur, or a high-boiling organic solvent used as a medium for dispersing an oil-soluble material bleeds out onto the surface of the image, thereby making the surface of the image sticky or causing a powdery material to separate out onto the surface. Thus, actually obtaining a color image high in image sharpness and high in whiteness of the non-image portion by rapid processing is accompanied by many difficulties, and development of a technique for solving these problems has been awaited. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide color photographic material from which a color photograph high in whiteness of the non-image portion can be obtained by rapid processing, and a method for forming an image therefrom. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be apparent more fully from the following description. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have studied keenly in various ways and have found that the above object can be attained by the following silver halide color photographic material and method for forming a color photographic image. (1) A silver halide color photographic material having photographic constitutional layers comprising a silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye-forming coupler, a silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye-forming coupler, a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler, and plural non-photosensitive colloid layers, and containing a water-soluble dye, on a reflective support, which comprises, in the uppermost non-photosensitive colloid layer of said photographic constitutional layers, a dispersion obtained by emulsifying and dispersing a solution containing at least one ultraviolet-absorbing agent represented by the following formula (I) or (II) and at least one water-insoluble polymer compound and a gelatin having an isoelectric point of 6.0 or over: (wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, or an acylamino group; R 4 and R 5 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an acyl group; X represents -CO- or -COO-; and l, m, and n are each an integer of 1 to 4). (2) The color photographic material stated under (1), wherein at least one of ultraviolet-absorbing agents represented by formula (I) or (II) is a liquid at normal temperature. (3) The color photographic material stated under (1), wherein the hydrophilic colloid layer containing at least one ultraviolet-absorbing agent represented by formula (I) or (II) and at least one water-insoluble polymer compound is substantially free from high-boiling organic solvent. (4) The color photographic material stated under (1), wherein the average silver chloride content of the silver halide emulsion contained in at least one emulsion layer is 90 mol% or more. (5) A method for forming a color photographic image which comprises processing the color photographic material stated under (1) with a color developer substantially free from sulfite. Preferably the processing is completed within 4 minutes from the start of color development to the completion of washing or stabilizing processing. The silver halide emulsion for use in the present invention generally comprises silver iodobromide, silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, or silver chloroiodobromide, and preferably use is made of a silver chloride emulsion or silver chlorobromide emulsion substantially free from silver iodide and having an average silver chloride content of 90 mol% or more. Herein the expression "substantially free from silver iodide" means that the silver iodide content is preferably 1 mol% or less, more preferably 0.2 mol% or less. Although the halogen composition of the emulsion may differ from grain to grain, if an emulsion whose grains have the same halogen composition from grain to grain is used, the properties may be easily made homogeneous among the grains. With respect to the halogen composition distribution in the silver halide emulsion grains, grains that can be suitably selected from, for example, grains having a so-called uniform-type structure, wherein the composition is the same throughout the silver halide grain; grains having a so-called layered-type structure, wherein the composition of the core in the silver halide grain is different from that of the shell(s) surrounding it; and grains having a structure wherein non-layered parts different in composition are formed in the grains or on the surface of the grains (in the case wherein the non-layered parts different in composition are present on the surface of the grains, the parts are joined to the edges or corners or planes of the grains). To obtain a high sensitivity, the latter two are advantageously preferred to the former grains having a uniform-type structure, and are preferable in view of the pressure-resistance properties. If the silver halide grains have such a structure, the boundary between the parts different in halogen composition may be distinct or indistinct, due to the formation of mixed crystals having different compositions, or the boundary may be such that the composition is changed positively continuously. With respect to the halogen composition of these silver chlorobromide emulsions, a so-called high-silver-chloride emulsion, which is high in silver chloride content, is suitable for rapid processing, and in the present invention the silver chloride content is more preferably 95 mol% or more. In the high-silver-chloride emulsion, a preferable structure is such that a silver bromide localized phase is present in the form of layers or non-layers in the silver halide grains and/or on the surface of the silver halide grains, as described above. Preferably the silver bromide content of the halogen composition of the above localized phase is at least 10 mol%, more preferably over 20 mol%. The localized phase may be present at inner side of the grains or on the edges, corners, or planes of the surface of the grains, and a preferable example is such that the localized phase is epitaxially grown on the corners of the grains. On the other hand, for the purpose of suppressing the lowering of the sensitivity as much as possible when the photographic material undergoes pressure, even in the case of high-silver-chloride emulsions having a silver chloride content of 90 mol% or over, it is preferably also practiced to use grains having a uniform-type structure, wherein the distribution of the halogen composition in the grain is small. In order to reduce the replenishing amount of the development processing solution, it is also effective to increase the silver chloride content of the silver halide emulsion. In such a case, an emulsion whose silver chloride is almost pure, that is, whose silver chloride content is 98 to 100 mol%, is also preferably used. The average grain size of the silver halide grains contained in the silver halide emulsion to be used in the present invention (the diameter of a circle equivalent to the projected area of the grain is assumed to be the grain size, and the number average of grain sizes is assumed to be an average grain size) is preferably 0.1 to 2 µm. Further, the grain size distribution thereof is preferably one that is a so-called monodisperse dispersion, having a deviation coefficient (obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the grain size by the average grain size) of 20% or below, and desirably 15% or below. In this case, for the purpose of obtaining one having a wide latitude, it is also preferable that monodisperse emulsions as mentioned above are blended to be used in the same layer, or are applied in layers. As to the shape of the silver halide grains contained in the photographic emulsion, use can be made of grains in a regular crystal form, such as cubic, tetradecahedral, or octahedral, or grains in an irregular crystal form, such as spherical or tabular, or grains that are a composite of these. Also, a mixture of silver halide grains having various crystal forms can be used. In the present invention, of these, grains containing grains in a regular crystal form in an amount of 50% or over, preferably 70% or over, and more preferably 90% or over, are preferred. Further, besides those mentioned above, an emulsion wherein the tabular grains having an average aspect ratio (the diameter of a circle calculated/the thickness) of 5 or over, and preferably 8 or over, exceed 50% of the total of the grains in terms of the projected area, can be preferably used. The silver chlorobromide emulsion used in the present invention can be prepared by methods described, for example, by P. Glafkides, in Chimie et Physique Photographique (published by Paul Montel, 1967), by G.F. Duffin in Photographic Emulsion Chemistry (published by Focal Press, 1966), and by V.L. Zelikman et al. in Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion (published by Focal Press, 1964). That is, any of the acid process, the neutral process, the ammonia process, etc. can be used, and to react a soluble silver salt and a soluble halide, for example, any of the single-jet process, the double-jet process, or a combination of these can be used. A process of forming grains in an atmosphere having excess silver ions (the so-called reverse precipitation process) can also be used. A process wherein the pAg in the liquid phase where a silver halide is to be formed is kept constant, that is, the so-called controlled double-jet process, can be used as one type of double-jet process. According to the controlled double-jet process, a silver halide emulsion wherein the crystal form is regular and the grain sizes are nearly uniform can be obtained. Into the silver halide emulsion grains for use in the present invention, various polyvalent metal ion dopants can be introduced in the process of the formation or physical ripening of the emulsion grains. Examples of the compounds used include salts of cadmium, zinc, lead, copper, and thallium, and salts or complex salts of elements of Group VIII, such as iron, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. In particular, complex salts of elements of Group VIII are preferably used. Although the amounts of these compounds to be added vary over a wide range depending on the purpose, preferably the amounts will be 10 -9 to 10 -2 mol per mol of the silver halide. Generally the silver halide emulsion for use in the present invention is chemically and spectrally sensitized. As the chemical sensitization, for example, sulfur sensitization, wherein typically an unstable sulfur compound is added; noble metal sensitization, wherein typically gold sensitization is carried out; and reduction sensitization, can be used singly or in combination. As the compound used in the chemical sensitization, those described in JP-A No. 215272/1987, page 18, the right lower column, to page 22, the right upper column, are preferably used. The spectral sensitization is carried out to make the emulsion layers of the photographic material of the present invention spectral sensitized to desired light wave ranges. In the present invention, it is carried out by adding a spectral sensitizing dye; that is, a dye that can absorb light in the wavelength range corresponding to the desired spectral sensitivity. As the spectral sensitizing dye to be used herein, those described by F. M. Harmer in Heterocyclic Compounds - Cyanine Dyes and Related Compounds , published by John Wiley & Sons (New York, London), 1964, can be mentioned. As specific examples of the compound and the spectral sensitization, those described in the above-mentioned JP-A No. 215272/1987, page 22, the right upper column, to page 38, are preferably used.

As specific examples of the compounds, those described in the above-mentioned JP-A No. 215272/1987, pages 39 to 72, are preferably used. The emulsion to be used in the present invention may be a so-called surface-latent-image-type emulsion, wherein a latent image will be formed mainly on the grains surface, or a so-called internal-latent-image-type emulsion, wherein a latent image will be formed mainly in the grains.

The ultraviolet-absorbing agents are used generally in such a way that they are first dissolved together with a high-boiling organic solvent in a low-boiling organic solvent, such as ethyl acetate, and the solution is mixed with an aqueous gelatin solution containing a surface-active agent and is emulsified and dispersed for use and, in the present invention it is a feature that a water-insoluble polymer compound is further contained simultaneously. In the present invention, preferably a high-boiling organic solvent that is generally conventionally used is not contained substantially in the solution of ultraviolet-absorbing agent. The expression "is not contained substantially" means that the weight ratio of high-boiling organic solvent is 0.5 or less, preferably 0.2 or less, for the weight of the water-insoluble polymer compound contained in the layer wherein the ultraviolet-absorbing agent is contained. Particularly preferably no high-boiling organic solvent is contained at all. Generally, the purpose of using a high-boiling organic solvent is to prevent the surface of the photographic material from becoming rough; otherwise when an emulsified dispersion of an ultraviolet-absorbing agent is applied as a layer of the photographic material, the low-boiling organic solvent is removed by drying and the dissolved ultraviolet-absorbing agent separates as coarse crystals, which makes the surface of the photographic material rough. In the present invention, it is surprising that the surface of the photographic material does not become substantially rough without incorporating a high-boiling organic solvent. The coating amount of the water-insoluble polymer compound is preferably 0.05 g/m 2 or more, more preferably 0.1 g/m 2 or more, and further more preferably 0.15 g/m 2 or more. The upper limit of the coating amount of water-insoluble polymer compound is preferably 2.0 g/m 2 . The weight ratio of the ultraviolet-absorbing agents represented by formula (I) or (II) to the water-insoluble polymer compound is preferably from 0.1 to 5, more preferably from 0.2 to 1. The coating amount of the ultraviolet-absorbing agent represented by formula (I) or (II) is generally 1 to 0.01 g/m 2 , preferably 0.5 to 0.05 g/m 2 , more preferably 0.4 to 0.1 g/m 2 . The average grain size of the emulsified dispersion is 0.3 µm or less, more preferably 0.1 µm or less. The silver halide color photographic material of the present invention has on a support at least a silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow dye-forming coupler, a silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta dye-forming coupler, and a silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan dye-forming coupler, and preferably these emulsion layers are respectively blue-sensitive, green-sensitive, and red-sensitive. The photographic material of the present invention can be constituted by applying these layers in the stated order, but the order may be changed. An infrared-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer can be used in place of at least one of the above photosensitive layers. In the present invention, to add the above couplers to the photosensitive layers, known various techniques can be applied. Generally they can be added by the oil-in-water dispersion method, known as the oil-protect method, wherein the coupler is dissolved in a high-boiling organic solvent and is then emulsified and dispersed in an aqueous gelatin solution containing a surface-active agent. Alternatively the coupler may be formed into an oil-in-water dispersion by adding the coupler solution containing a surface-active agent to water or an aqueous gelatin solution, thereby causing phase inversion. In the case of an alkali-soluble coupler, the coupler can be dispersed by the Fischer dispersion method. Otherwise, the low-boiling organic solvent is removed from a coupler dispersion, for example by distillation, noodle washing, or ultrafiltration, and the remainder may be mixed with the photographic emulsion. As the dispersion medium for such a coupler, a high-boiling organic solvent having a dielectric constant of 2 to 20 (25°C) and a refractive index of 1.5 to 1.7 (25°C), and/or the above-mentioned water-insoluble polymer compound, is preferably used. As the high-boiling organic solvent that can be used in the present invention, preferably it is a compound that has a melting point of 100°C or below and a boiling point of 140°C or over; that is immiscible with water; and that is a good solvent for the ultraviolet-absorbing agent or the coupler. The melting point of the high-boiling organic solvent is preferably 80°C or below. The boiling point of the high-boiling organic solvent is preferably 160°C or over, more preferably 170°C or over. The high-boiling-point organic solvent can be used in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 10.0, preferably 0.1 to 4.0, to the coupler. Details of these high-boiling organic solvents are described in JP-A No. 215272/1987, page 137, the right lower column, to page 144, the right upper column. Water-soluble dyes that can be used are described, for example, in JP-A Nos. 145125/1975, 20830/1977, 147712/1975, 111641/1984, 148448/1986, 151538/1986, 151649/1986, 151650/1986, 151651/1986, 170742/1986, 175638/1986, 235837/1986, 248044/1986, 164043/1987, 253145/1987, 253146/1987, 253142/1987, 275262/1987, and 283336/1987, Research Disclosure RD-17643 (December 1978, page 22), and Research Disclosure RD-18716 (November 1979, page 647); and particularly preferably use is made of dyes that can be decolored by processing described in European Patent EP No. 0,337,490A2, pages 27 to 76 (e.g., oxonol dyes). The amount of the water-soluble dye is preferably 4 mg/m 2 or more but not exceeding 200 mg/m 2 , particularly preferably 10 mg/m 2 or more but not exceeding 100 mg/m 2 . If several dyes are used, the total amount thereof is preferably in the above range. As the binding material or protective colloid that can be used in photographic constitutional layers other than the uppermost layer of the photographic material of the present invention, gelatin is advantageously used, but other hydrophilic colloid's can be used alone or in combination with gelatin. The total coating amount of gelatin in the photographic material is preferably 8.2 g/m 2 or less, more preferably 7.8 g/m 2 or less, further more preferably 7.4 g/m 2 or less, and particularly preferably 7.0 g/m 2 or less for the purpose, for example, of enhancing the whiteness of the non-image portion or for rapid processing ability. The lower limit of the total coating amount of gelatin is preferably 3.0 g/m 2 . In the present invention, the gelatin may be lime-processed gelatin or acid-processed gelatin. Details of the manufacture of gelatin are described by Arthur Veis in The Macromolecular Chemistry of Gelatin (published by Academic Press, 1964). The gelatin used in the uppermost layer that is a non-photosensitive colloid layer is preferably acid-processed gelatin having an isoelectric point of 6.0 or over, more preferably 6.5 or over, and particularly preferably 7.0 or over. The upper limit of the isoelectric point of gelatin is preferably 10.0. In the present invention, the dry thickness of the film of photographic constitutional layers of photographic material is preferably 11 µm or less, more preferably 10 µm or less, and particularly preferably 8 µm. The lower limit of the dry thickness of the film of photographic constitutional layers is preferably 3 µm. In particular, the thinner the dry film of the uppermost layer is, the more preferable it is, and the dry film thickness of the uppermost layer preferably should be 2 µm or less, more preferably 0.3 to 2.0 µm. Although the uppermost layer and the silver halide emulsion layer that is located farthest from the support are preferably arranged with them directly in contact with each other, it is possible to provide a hydrophilic colloid layer between the two layers. The support used in the present invention is a reflective support. The reflective support includes a support coated with a hydrophobic resin containing a light-reflective substance, such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, and calcium sulfate, in a dispersed form, and a support made of a hydrophobic resin containing a dispersed-light-reflecting substance. In order to improve the sharpness of images, preferably the photographic material according to the present invention contains, in the hydrophilic resin layer of the support, 12% by weight, more preferably 14% by weight, of titanium oxide whose surface has been treated, for example, with a bivalent to tetravalent alcohol (e.g., trimethylolethane). Further, in the photographic material according to the present invention, together with the couplers, a color-image-preservability-improving compound, as described in European Patent EP No. 0,277,589A2, is preferably used. That is, a compound (F), which will chemically bond to the aromatic amine developing agent remaining after the color development process, to form a chemically inactive and substantially colorless compound, and/or a compound (G), which will chemically bond to the oxidized product of the aromatic amine color developing agent remaining after color development process, to form a chemically inactive and substantially colorless compound, are preferably used alone or in combination, for example, to prevent the occurrence of stain due to a color-developed dye by the reaction of the couplers with the color developing agent or its oxidized product remaining in the film during the storage after the processing, as well as to prevent other side effects. Further, preferably, to the photographic material according to the present invention, a mildew-proofing agent, as described in JP-A No. 271247/1988, is added preferably in order to prevent the propagation of mildew and fungi in the hydrophilic colloid layers, which propagation will deteriorate an image. The photographic material according to the present invention may be exposed to visible light or infrared light. As the method of exposure, low-illumination-intensity exposure or high-illumination-intensity exposure may be used, and a laser scanning exposure system, wherein the exposure time is 10 -4 or less per picture element, is preferable. In the exposure, preferably a band stop filter, described in US-A- 4,880,726, is used, and thereby light color mixing is prevented and the color reproduction is improved remarkably. As components (couplers and additives) and photographic constitutional layers (including arrangement of layers and the like) that will be applied to the present invention, and as the processing method and processing additives that will be applied for processing the photographic material of the present invention, those described in the below-mentioned patent gazettes, particularly in European Patent EP No. 0,355,660A2, are preferably used. As the method for processing a silver halide color photographic material, which uses a high-silver chloride emulsion whose silver chloride content is 90 mol% or more, with a color developer substantially free from any sulfite, a method described in JP-A No. 207250/1990, page 27, the left upper column, to page 34, the right upper column, is preferably used. Herein the expression "substantially free from any sulfite" means that the amount of a sulfite is 0.2 g/liter or less in terms of sodium sulfite. If a sulfite as an agent is weighed and added in an amount of about 0.2 g/liter, when the solution is prepared it reacts with the oxygen in the air and most of it is consumed; thereby it is unharmful photographically and does not affect the decoloring speed of dyes. According to the present invention, a color photograph can be obtained wherein the whiteness of the non-image portion is high and the glossiness of the surface after the passing of time following the processing is not deteriorated. This effect is particularly noticeable when rapid processing with a color developer substantially free from any sulfite is carried out. The present invention will be described in detail in accordance with examples, but the invention is not limited to these examples. Example 1 After the surface of a paper support, whose both surfaces were laminated with polyethylene, was subjected to corona discharge treatment, a gelatin undercoat layer containing sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate was provided thereon, and various photographic constitutional layers were applied, to prepare a multi-layer color photographic printing paper (Sample 101) having the below-given layer constitution. The polyethylene layer of the paper support on the side wherein emulsions were applied contained 15% by weight of titanium oxide and had a thickness of 30 µm. The coating solution were prepared as follows: Preparation of a First Layer Coating Solution 270 Mililiters of ethyl acetate, 37.4 ml of Solvent (Solv-3), and 37.4 ml of Solvent (Solv-6) were added to 153.0 g of Yellow Coupler (ExY), 47.8 g of Image-dye Stabilizer (Cpd-1), 12.8 g of Image-dye Stabilizer (Cpd-9), and 3.2 g of Image-dye Stabilizer (Cpd-12), to dissolve them, and the solution was emulsified and dispersed in a 10% aqueous gelatin solution containing 60 ml of 10% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 10 g of citric acid, to prepare Emulsified Dispersion A. Separately, Silver Chlorobromide Emulsion B (comprising cubic silver halide grains made up of a mixture of a large size emulsion having an average grain size of 0.88 µm and a small size emulsion having an average grain size of 0.70 µm in a molar ratio of 6:4 in terms of silver, wherein the deviation coefficients of the grain size distributions are 0.08 and 0.10 respectively; each of the emulsions has 0.3 mol% of silver bromide being localized on the surface of the grains; and the remaining part of grain is made of silver chloride) was prepared. The above Emulsified Dispersion A and the Silver Chlorobromide Emulsion B were mixed and dissolved, to prepared a first layer coating solution having the following composition. Coating solutions for second to seventh layers were prepared in the same manner as above. As the gelatin hardener of each layer, H-1 and H-2 were used. Cpd-10 and Cpd-11 were added to each layer so that the total amounts thereof might be 25.0 mg/m 2 and 50.0 mg/m 2 , respectively. In the silver chlorobromide emulsions of photosensitive emulsion layers, the following spectral sensitizing dyes were used. Blue-sensitive emulsion layer: and (each 2.0 x 10 -4 mol to the large size emulsion and 2.5 x 10 -4 mol to the small size emulsion, per mol of silver halide.)

Further, respectively to the blue-sensitive emulsion layer and the green-sensitive emulsion layer, was added 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindene in respective amounts of 1 x 10 -4 mol and 2 x 10 -4 mol, per mol of the silver halide. Further, to prevent irradiation, the following dye (the coating amount is indicated in parentheses) was added to the emulsion layers. and (Layer Constitution) The layer constitution of each layer is shown below. The numerals indicate coating amounts (g/m 2 ). The coating amount of each of the silver halide emulsions is in terms of silver.

The gelatin used in the seventh layer had an isoelectric point of 6.9. Sample 102 was the same as Sample 101, but excluding the seventh layer; Sample 103 was the same as Sample 102, except that the gelatin used in the sixth layer was replaced with the same amount of a gelatin having an isoelectric point of 6.9; and Sample 104 was the same as Sample 103, except that Solv-5, which was emulsified and dispersed simultaneously with the ultraviolet-absorbing agent UV-1, was replaced with the same weight of Cpd-13. Sample 105 was the same as Sample 104, except that Cpd-13 was replaced with the same weight of Cpd-7. An emulsified dispersion of Sample 105 was prepared by emulsifying and dispersing a solution containing 40 g of Cpd-7 and 40 g of UV-1 in 160 ml of ethyl acetate into an aqueous gelatin solution containing 60 ml of 10% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and having an isoelectric point of 6.9. The average grain size of the emulsified dispersion of the ultraviolet-absorbing agent in Samples 101 to 105 was 0.07 µm in each case. The thus obtained Sample 101 was exposed to light using a standard object, and Sample 101 was continuously processed using an automatic processor for paper in the below-described processing steps using solutions having the below-described compositions, until the replenishing amount reached twice the volume of the color-developing tank (Standard Processing Condition A). An automatic processor for paper, by which the same processing as above was carried out with the temperature of the rinse step being 15°C and the replenishing amount being 180 ml (1/2 of the above), was prepared. The processing conditions of the latter automatic processor were the simulated processing conditions that would occur in the actual continuous processing (Processing Condition B).

(the color temperature of the light source: 3200K). The thus exposed sample was processed by the automatic processor for paper (Processing Conductions A and B), which had been in the running state. The reflection density of the processed sample was measured by a TCD-type density-measuring apparatus, manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., to find the density of stain in the white background (unexposed portion). The gloss of the processed sample was judged visually and was divided into three stages: good (○), somewhat poor (▵), and poor (X), the gloss of Sample 101 at immediately after the processing being the level of good (○). The processed sample after the visual evaluation was kept at a temperature of 80°C and a humidity of 80% for 7 days, and then the gloss of the surface was visually judged again. The obtained results are shown in Table 1. As is apparent from the results in Table 1, it can be understood that Samples 104 and 105 of the present invention are good in the gloss of the surface immediately after the processing and also after storage. Further, the density of the white background of Samples 104 and 105 is favorably low. In Sample 101, the increase of the stain density of the white background is unfavorably great in Processing Condition B. Sample 102 is unfavorably poor in the gloss of the surface. In Samples 102 and 103, oily stickiness of the print surface after storage occurred. Although Sample 103 is improved in gloss of the surface immediately after the processing, since the isoelectric point of the gelatin in the uppermost layer is 6.0 or over, however the gloss after storage is not improved. In contrast, in the case of Samples 104 and 105, wherein an ultraviolet-absorbing agent is emulsified together with a water-insoluble polymer, it is understood that the surface gloss is improved not only immediately after the processing but also after storage. Further, the occurrence of oily stickiness on the surface of the color photographs was not observed. Example 2 Samples 101 and 104 were processed in the same manner as in Example 1 under Processing Condition B, except that sodium sulfite was added in an amount of 2 g/liter to the color developer. As is apparent from the results of Example 1, Sample 101 is inferior to Sample 104 of the present invention only in the white background density under Processing Condition B. With respect to samples processed before the addition of sodium sulfite and samples processed after the addition of sodium sulfite, the maximum density of the exposed part and the minimum density (white background density) of the non-image portion were measured, and the results are shown in Table 2. Sample No. Sodium sulfite Maximum density Density of white background Remarks Y M C Y M C 101 not added 2.30 2.28 2.35 0.13 0.08 0.15 Comparison 101 added 2.03 2.15 2.21 0.11 0.08 0.10 Comparison 104 not added 2.30 2.28 2.35 0.11 0.08 0.10 Invention 104 added 2.05 2.15 2.20 0.11 0.08 0.10 Comparison As is apparent from the results in Table 2, the addition of sodium sulfite lowers the white background density of Sample 101, to bring it to the same level as that of Sample 104 of the present invention, and at the same time the addition of sodium sulfite lowers conspicuously the maximum density, which is not a preferable processing condition. It can be understood that Sample 104 of the present invention is preferably low in the white background density in the absence of a sulfite. Example 3 The same procedure for Coated Sample 103 prepared in Example 1 was repeated, except that the mixing ratio of the ultraviolet-absorbing agent and the ratio of Cpd-13 or Cpd-7 to Solv-5 were changed as shown in Table 3, thereby preparing Samples 301 to 311. These samples were developed under Processing Condition B used in Example 1. The ultraviolet-absorbing agent (iv) in Table 3 was a liquid at normal temperature. Other ultraviolet-absorbing agents (v) to (vii) were solid at normal temperature. The processed samples were kept at a temperature of 80°C and a humidity of 90% for two weeks, and the gloss of the surface and the presence of oily stickiness of the surface were evaluated. The gloss of surface was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. The oily stickiness was evaluated by a finger test to check if a oily substance adhered on the finger exist or not. The results are shown in Table 4. As is apparent from the results in Table 3, Samples 301 to 304, which do not contain the water-insoluble polymer Cpd-13 or Cpd-7, are poor in gloss of the surface, and oily stickiness was observed in them. Samples 305 to 311 of the present invention, which contain a water-insoluble polymer, do not have such defects or have less such defects and therefore are preferable. It can be understood that, out of the samples of the present invention, those free from any high-boiling organic solvent or substantially free from any high-boiling organic solvent, or those containing an ultraviolet-absorbing agent that is a liquid at normal temperature, are particularly preferable (Samples 305 to 310).
