Manufacture OF Paper.

The \. Y. Times has an interesting arti-
Gle on paper manufacture, from which we
derive the following statistics connected with
the business in the U. States:
''There are in the United States $50 pa
per mills in actual operation. Allowing 1
engines to each mill, and calculating that
each engine will make 300 pounds Of paper
per day, the quantity Of paper made in the
year will be as follows:
Number of mills, $50; number of en-
gines, 5000; number of pounds Of paper
per day, 100000; number Of pounds Of
paper in the year, allowing 800 days in the
year, 10000, 900. Value of this paper at
ten cents pound, s27,0O0,O00. 1t is esti-
mated that one and half pounds Of rags
are required to make one pound Of paper,
adopting this data, we find that 405, ,000,0 600
of pounds of rags are consumed in l year
their value at cents pound being Sl6,-
100000 a year. The cost Of labor is IL
cents upon each pound of paper manufac-
tured and is, therefore, S3,37500C year;
and the cost of labor and rags united, is
! $19,515. 900 a year The cost Of manu-
featuring aside from rags and labor, estima-
ted from adding together the cost Of felts,
wire cloth, bleaching powders, fuel, ma
chinery, interest and fixed capital, insurance
expenses, &C.. we find to be S5.050, ,000.-
Adding to this the cost Of rags and labor,
we find that 23,625,000 is the total cost Of
manufacturing paper worth S27 100000, a
measure Of profit by 10 means unreasona-
bic and which even mipht Dc considered
small. were not the manufacturer compara-
lively free from the sudden changes that eff
