The rrics Of Printing Pansr.

The Philadelphia North american says;
Printing paper of ordinary quality sells at
this moment from 20 to % cents pound
Its legitimate price is about cents. Between
the price Of paper materials and the manufac-
tured article there is nothing like adequate
proportion. A large commission house this
week received a consignment of rags fr6Di Ha-
vana. Knowing the exorbitant prices of pa
per, he expected to realize handsome return
to the consignors. lie visited successfully all
the paper makers in this section of country,
and correspOnded with those more Distant
The utmost he could obtain for them was az
cents per pound. A Il the paper mills are
stocked with material waste paper for re.
manufacture has been thrown upon the mar
ket by thousands of tons and yet the price Of
printing paper is kept up by speculation, or
something else, to p cents per pound. Here
is a mystery that requires explanation. Who
win give it?'
The Washington STAR of Friday evening,
speaking of the probability Of reducing the
duty on foreign paper, suys:
Out of the bfty-seveh members OF the
Hnnse with whom we had spoken in reference
TO this proposition, NE found but one opposed
TO IT, All the rest appreciated its justice and
propriety Under these circumstances we ap-
prehend, there can be little doubt that when
it comes up in its turn it will be adopted by
an overwhelming majority"
