Plants Of the ..rrade" PAPER.

Some of the most profitable newspaper
property in this country is found in the
plants of the "trade" paper. A glance within
a newspaper directory will convince any ono
of the completeness with which this field is
covered. There is scarcely trade or in
dustry or enterprise that has not its repre-
sentative journal-either daily, weekly, fort
nightly or monthly. Some Of these aim to
cover all the news points in the trade they
represent, and give, besides general informa-
ton on the subject, editorial and other COM
ment relative to their particular trade. Others,
through neglect, inability or laziness, have
let their advertisements grow up till they
have choked out the news features This IS
especially true Of the older and richer ones.
Tho advertising space invariably increases
at the expense of the news columns Tho
advertising rates arc very high, as the price
charged for subscriptions is but q nominal
one. In fact, many of the magazines dis
tribute goodly part Of their circulation
gratuitously- they can well afford to.
Tho journals of tho brewers, iron men, furni-
ture manufacturers, and the railway papers
are by far the richest OF the hebdomadal
newspapers in this city. Most Of these were
started since the great fire, and have waxed
great upon tho manufacturers whom they
