SARATOGA, July 2S.-The Ameri-
can paper manufacturers association
began its third annual session at the
Grand Union Hotel at IL O'Clock
this morning. About one hundred
members were present. The presi-
dent, VIM. Whiting, of Holyoke'
being absent, w. Smith, of Lee, Mas
sachusetts, first vice president, took
the chair. Before reading the call
he made a few remarks on the pres
ent condition of the paper trade
He slid the advance in paper since
the last meeting had come from tho
extraordinary demand for paper
caused by the general prosperous
condition of the country which had
stimulated production, and this il
turn had caused great rise in pa
peri stock, and chemicals used in it:
manufacture, which had increased
the cost of making paper more thar
the rise in prices. He stigmatizet
the attacks of the press on paper
manufacturers for this rise as ma
| licious and uncalled for. They
had said that the rise was caused by
combinations, and demanded re
duction in tariff on wood pulp, ant
that the paper makers would hav,
been glad of the opportunity to pre-
sent the facts to congress. and thu
Justify themselves. The advance il
paper had not been nearly as milcl
as it had been on iron. If congress
goes into a general revesion of tariff
the paper makers will readily shar
with the other manufacturers in sucl
reduction of duties as may b
deemed necessary. The introduC
ton of wood pulp has caused an I'm
precedented reduction in the price
of newspapers. Home competition
will soon reduce prices. The report
from the divisions were then Gale,
for, but none were forthcoming.
