The Government Embargo on Imported
lt:.;s and Its Effect on The Paper Trade
Prices Likely to Reach a High Point.
New York, Oct. 1O.-"How has the
cholera embargo on rags affected the paper
market:?" was said to the editor OF the Pa
per Trade Journal yesterday. "The maj.
ket is very strong. Prices were low, but
they have advanced steadily in some grades
Since the embargo was laid. The lowest
price touched in paper, such as is used
by newspapers, was five and a half cents a
pound, at which rate a contract for 100000
reamsw was made by a Rose street publisher
two weeks ago. Now the price is half a
cent a pound higher, although not an ounce
of rags will be used in making the paper.
The rise III the price Of rag-paper will d,
vert the chemically-prepared wood-pulp to
writing paper, and SO even the cheapest
grades must advance. A further advance
OF from ten to twenty per cent. would not
surprise me much"
(. PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 10.-The paper
trade is in a ruinous condition, caused by
the Government embargo ON the importa-
ton of foreign rags. The Eastern book
paper lllalltlldctuTerS nave cdllcu Il coHNelr
ton at Cleveland for the 18th Of this month,
to consider the condition OF the market.
"Thc price of paper" said one OF the
largest manufacturers i'll the country yes
terday, 'is bound to go up, for to embargo
rags from foreign ports is to cut down our
supply just one-half. Before 1860 book.
paper was fourteen to sixteen cents anu
news paper ten to eleven cents a pound.
To-day book paper is seven to eight cents
per pound and news paper five to six cents
and these goods are better now than then.
Paper for a year past has been SO low tlat
only the best plants could hold Their
own, and rags have sometimes been 50
low that it was cheaper to burn them than
to collect. This condition of affairs has
made the publication of so many penny
newspapers possible. If, as seems likely,
the embargo is continued another year. it's
evident that rags must advance twenty-five
and perhaps one hundred per cent. Even
before the effect is beginning to be ackro"r
edged they have advanced thirty to fifty per
cent. The paper-mills in this country laVea
supply, and the domestic dealers nave
none OH hand.
"By December 1 the 1000 mills using
1000 to 5000 tons per day will have ground
up all the rags in sight. The situation mas
been fully graspcd by a few leading paper,
makers, who have secured all the foreign
stock, spot, and what is on the water"

Mrs, Levi wormwood's Wedding.
Editor Herald:-On the evening of
January 2lst we were invited to attend
a party at the residence of Levi Worm
wood and wife, given in honor of their
twenty-eighth wedding anniversary by
their two daughters, Mrs. Hattie Mas
ters and Mrs. Ida Kidney. The weather
was fine and over seventy guests were
present. Music was furnished by the
Winnebago City band and the light fan
tastic toe was tripped until daylight
warned us that it was time to return to
our homes, and with many regrets we
departed, wishing them happiness and
prosperity through the remainder of
their journey down the stream of time.
The party was one of the largest ever
held in this vicinity. The supper was
grand one, consisting of all the deli
cacies of the season, and as / looked
around upon the happy faces Of old and
young my mind wanders to the west to
the absent son, for whose benefit Iwrite
these lines. The Winebago City Press
speaks very highly of the party, and
says that Mr.. Norwood and family
will soon be amongthe Dakotaians, and
hopes they will do justice to the next
wedding day if it be celebrated. Mr..
w. and family are highly respected
here, and they take with them the best
WISHES of all.

Under the heading Advertising
makes town." the News-Graphic. of
Hamilton, Mo-, says: We believe that
no town can long live and prosper and
grow, that does not contain live busi-
ness men who advertise their goods.
Show US a town that is without this
class of men and we will show you a
town where trade is dull, where the
people complain of hard times and
where enterprise is almost entirely
wanting. Good advertising makes
good trade, and that too, at low rates.
since he who sells quick can afford to
sell cheap. A good trade makes a live
town, and thus it is that business men
have much to do with the success of
the town." The majority of the bnsi-
ness men of Hurley understand this
fact, as the advertising columns of the
