PAFrR Srocg.-The inner bark OF the elm
or the linden (hass wood) makes fair paper,
and can be procured it is believed, so
cheaply as to compete with cotton rags at or
dinary prices. Tolerable paper can also be
made from straw, and also from some kinds
of wood. One of the Philadelphia papers is
printed on straw paper, and an Albany daily
occasionally ON fine quality Of paper made
Of wood.
The Chicago Tri5Hn. is printed on paper,
one quarter of which Is sorghum fiber Two
sorghum paper mills are already in operation
in Illinois.-The opinion Of many, We see, is
that the enormous advance Of the price of
paper, from what it was year ago, is in
great measure speculation affair. At all
events it will stimulate invention and pro
baby lead within year or two 10 PAPER be
ing cheaper than ever.
