NEWS PRINT SCARCE.
The Paper Supply Is Resting on a
Narrow Margin

Washington. June 1O.-That the
supply of news print paper in the
American mills has still further de-
pleted since March so. that on April
80 there was less than five days sup
ply on hand, is the purport of a state
ment made public by Herbert Knox
Smith. commissioner of corporations.
The last statement. as of April /,
showed but 19.907 tons on hand, since
then there has been q decrease Of
1,847 tons. The decrease since April
80, 1909. has been more than $4,000
tons.
The normal consumption per day is
said to be about 1000 tons: the pro-
duction capacity about Alps.
Following is the commissioner
statement:
statistics of news print paper for
April, 1910, as compiled by the Ameri-
can Paper and Pulp association and
filed with the commissioner of corpor-
ations, show a sharp decline in produc-
ton and further drain upon stocks.
The total supply on hand on April 80,
1910, was only 1900 tons. a reduc-
ton of 1.S47 tons since April l. On
April 80, 1909, the stocks were 36,133
tons. Stocks have been steadily de-
creasing ever since the end of last
August, when they exceeded $4,000
tons.
LAS late as Jan 1, 1910, there were
in excess of 26. 500 tons. This contin-
ued decrease mas. as Is We'll known,
been accompanied by considerable
increase in prices.
This reduction in stocks is chiefly
due to the reduction of the output,
which fell from S4,219 tons in March,
1910, to 80,4S9 tons in April, a net de-
cline of $3.50 tons. In April. 1909, the
production was STATS tons. The statis-
tics for 1910 show decrease in pro-
duction in April as compared with
January of 4.O5S tons, whereas the
same comparison in 1909 shows an in
crease of over 400 tons The nor
NAL output for the month of April
1910, as computed by the association,
it may be noted, is 90, tons; the
actual output, therefore, was only 83
per cent of this normal. The decrease
is chiefly attributed to a strike in some
of the large mills. The production at
the end of May is said to be close to
normal
I'm this general connection it is real
ly remarkable to note upon how mar
row a margin of supply this industry
operates. The average stocks held by
manufacturers in the past year and q
half would not exceed at best three
weeks consumption, while the manu-
facturers' stock on April 80, 1910
would not give more than weeks
supply This situation necessarily tends
toward excessive fluctuations in
priceS

WAGNER WAS
MOCENT

Hasty and inefficient work by
the police of Pasadena, Cal,
caused no end of trouble for the
chief of that city, and also for To-
cal station men and Charles J.
Wagner, who was arrested in this
city on suspicion charged with
burglaries in the California town.
Finding Wagners suit case full of
letters in room in Pasadena TINT
the burglars had vacated the police
thought that Wagner was connect
ed with the robberies and ordered
his arrest in this city. Wagner
held responsible positions in In
dianapolis and had perfect record
and his friends succeeded in es-
tablishing his innocence. Yester-
day a message came from Chief
Wood, who is now in Olympia, to
Chief Doust of this city, saying
that Wagner was not the man ana
ordering his release. Wagner
claims the suit case was stolen
from him in North Yakima, and
this was confirmed by a friend.
