Goodale & Co.'S, Circular for May

The months Of April and May are usu-

the wool market. We think, however,
there has, been less activity during the
past month than has generally been mo-
|ticed. s5E1 g91a gia7e = d - ssisiai =
.s This may be accounted for from the
fact that all large manufacturers. hal
since January, supplied themselves with q
stock of sufficient to carry them beyond
the incoming clip, and is also IN part at.
tributabie to the fact that ell dealers are
intent upon reducing the high p,ices thai
have drepailed for the last three months
Sales of wool East have for these
reasons been limited and there has beer
but few transactions except on private
terms. ..iD5l 30 aaza s5f ai ,yysi saT

How PAPER rs MADE the read
er ever felt any curiosity as to the manu-
facture of the paper which he holds in his
hand? If so, let US try and elucidate q
few points. Imagine. then, huge piles of
rags, which have been collected together
from different sections of country, and
which. now repose on the floer of some
mill, waiting to be thrown into the cutting
machine. From this they emerge in slips
of about six inches in length, These are
passed thro rough an apparatus which cleans!
them of dirt, and they are then thrown
into stands or "vats," a. strong lye is
placed upon them, and the whole is then
boiled By steam for about twelve hours,
in order to soften the texture and loosen
the coloring. From there they are put
into the "washer.n After having become
thoroughly cleansed and fbrous, they are
bleached until free Of all coloripg. and now
present the appearance of pure white cot;
ton, which has been thoroughly soaked in
water end afterwards allowed to dry. The
nextprocess they undergo is that of beat
| ing, from which they emerge in the form of
a fine pulp. The pulp is placed in a vat,
through which . large cylinder, covered
with fine wire, revolves. Upon this wire
the pulp is gathered and taken OF upon o
belt, thoroughly saturated with water. 1t
! is then run through number of "presa
rolls", to second ''press felt" The pa
per, or rather wet pulp, spread npon the
ffelt, is also run around two large coppel
dryers heated by steam. There, the pulp
i first assumes the, appearance of paper
which is finished by being run between
! three pairs Of cylinders, and afterward,
reeled. The paper is now about Eve feet
wide. A short. distance from the l"calen
. ders" is the cutting machine, by which tn,
|, paper is cut to any width or length, anG
afterwards counted into quires. reams, ami
bundles, dressed and stored away for sale
Thus it is evident that the, very pocke
handkerchief now in your pocket, or thu
collar on your neck, may, ip, time be incor
81 porated into the newspaper. on which you
!, eye rests with so much satisfaction. -, >
