Americas Paper Making Capacity.

The United States has a CAPACITY for
producing about 1926, 900 pounds of
paper annually, not counting the idle
mills, OF which at present about seventy
are reported, out of total of l 1,1SO OF
this enormous product some 3.735. 900
pounds are used in printing newspapers
and books, and 212, 800 pounds more 90
to help bind the books printed II is
estimated that $4,000 pounds are CON
sumed by the building trades; 3,176. 900
pounds of wrapping paper are used and
$4,000 pounds of writing papers An
important item is the production of
nearly 100000 pounds of press, straw
and wood pulp "boa1ds." The produc-
ton of artificial leather" fortunately
for the purchasers of shoes, has been de-
creaslng since 1884, when 129 900 pounds
of this material were produced The
most rigid economy is practiced in pa-
per making; hence the high degree Of
mechanical skill and executive ability
connected with this industry as com.
pared with the cost of the product
