PANIC N GERMAN PAPER TRADE
HIGH PRICES MAY BENEFIT AMERICAN
MANUFACTURERS.

Washington Jan. 26 (SpeciaD.-The existing
panic in the German paper trade is made the
subject OF interesting report to the state }Oe-
partn<nt by Consul Thomas Ewing Moore. at
WTmar, who thinks American manufacturers
mty profit by the condition. The present high
prices. especially of printing paper. have re-
ceiNSd much attention from the German press
as they principally affect the newspaper pub

tg/the shoulders of the general public. That
fhere was no real ground for The enormous rise
Is proved by the fact that paper manufactures
faye declared most satisfactory dividends in the
la5t few years.
statistics show that the German paper in
dustry is not in a bad condition. Taking only
fhe three chief kinds into consideration, II is
found that the imports of paper into Germany
in the first three quarters of 600 amounted 10
1.201 tons. valued at s24T.116. against 1,o06
tons. valued at 052 in the same period of
1S99-an increase of o. per cent IN quantity and
81 per cent in value. Of the total import 4S7
tons 40.6 per cent? came from France, 217 tens
Q72 per cent? from England. and 19j tons Q6.3
per cent? from Austria Hungary.
The exports or German writing drawing and
printing paper amounted in the first three quar-
of 1900 to 2S, 925 tons valued at S,601,-
600 marks (S2.04T,03S). against 2I.004 tons
valued at 7.219,O00 marks Isl. iii, ,122), in the
same period of 1899 showing an increase Of
40.5 per cent in quantity and 1872 per cent in
value. The difference between these two per
centages may find it's explanation in the fact
that the most essential kinds Of paper have
shown greater increase in export, and that
perhaps the present higher prices were not taken
into account by the appraising officers.
The largest buyer of German paper is Eng
land. which bought 1922 tons C;}5.5 per cent? of
me total export in the first three quarters Of
lgat Further may be mentioned Holland, with
3.2Z0 tons oil per cent?; Brazil, q T27 tons (94
per cent?; Argentine Republic, 2.5ST tons $50
per cent?: Japan. 1868 tons C5.7 per cent?; United
States, 6l3 tons CD per cent?, and Chilli go
tons (21 per cent? after which follow with
smaller quantities Australia. Uruguay. Den
mark Sweden and Switzerland.
The surplus Of exports over imports in the
filst three quarters of 1900 was 27723 tons
valued at 81 ,SO1 ,422. In view Of the high price
OF printing paper there seems 10 be a tendency
10 make corresponding increase in he subscI ip-
tion prices of newspapers. The present duIy on
paper imported into Germany is S23 50 a ton
The manufacturers are said 70 wish this duty
increased; their opponents, however declare that
the duty should he entirely abolished Should
the latter prevail a splendid field would he

SENTIMENTS OF VOTERS.
AN UNDERcURRENT FOR Low

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 find, in talking the Mayoralty ques-
ton with persons l meet. strong undercurrent
in favor of Mr.. Low for the office. even many
Democrats who say they will vote for him If nom
mated. 1t takes this form:
Who do you think would make a good Mayor?
Well l have been thinking that matter over, and L
have come to the conclusion that Seth Low is the
best in sight. taking all things into consider
alton and I will for him if nominated for the
office. Not that he is the only man in the city
competent TO fill the Office, for there are hundreds
of such, splendidly equipped for the position. who
would reflect upon the city, but they are not
known to the public and would therefore labor
under that disadvantage in a canvass for Mayor,
which might lead defeat, and that all good ctti-
most devoutly hope may be averted in the
coming contest.
My reasons for thinking Mr.. Low would make
a good Mayor are: He is well known to the peo-
Pile having served two terms IS Mayor of Brooklyn.
Born with good intellect, which mas been de-
veloped by liberal education; OF good moral hbre,
and having wealth, with desire to be engaged In
public affairs in the highest sense. and possessing
good executive ability and n love OF the appro-
baton of his fellow men above the love OF money.
he would enter into schemes of doubtful hon
esty obtain money from the public treasury 10
enrich himself or his followers. Such a man the
people desire and is beyond price in the service of
the public. WALTER MATHlSON

TO show what greater services he can render in the

ELLISON HAS RIGHT QUALITIES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l have read with interest the list of names
and number of votes received by each in the
Mayoralty canvass.
All good citizens will agree that certain quail
ficatlons should be indispensable to nomination
namely. morality and sobriety-besides the neces-
sary executive ability. The nominee should be a
strong man. mentally and physically.
These qualities are all possessed in high degree
by William b. Ellison. His fine judicial mind, his
strong executive ability. his quick comprehension
Of affairs make him the peer OF any that be
nominated. New-York would be fortunate. indeed.
secure his nomination and election.
II the votes published by you could be weighed
instead OF counted there would be very few candi-
dates left The votes sent 20 your office In favor or
such names as William J. Ellison. Seth Low and
others are not obtained by hired solicitors. That
method OF rolling up votes Is In vogue by some who
have no qualiiCsti lions whatever for the Office.
