PRICES ON PAPER IN

ces on all sorts of paper in Norway
have gone up thirty to forty per cent
and are still on the increase. Some
sorts can not be manufactured by
the Norwegian paper mills, for in
stance, blue paper, for want of blue
dyestuff, which usually is supplied by
German.
The central valleys in Norway are
great lumber districts, much like
northern Minnesota. The principal
trees are pine and evergreen and
thanks to the numerous cellulose and
paper mills, which have been built
in the last fifteen or twenty years,
the value of the woods has increased
considerably. So many foreign fac
tories had to stop because of the war,
prices on the products from the Nor
wegian plants have gone UPON cell

war to $40 a ton now.

TRAFF|C|S
PARALYzED At
NEW YORK
FREIGHT PlllNG HIGH IN RAIL.
ROAD YARDS UNTIL CoNGES-
TON is PARALYZING DUE 70
LACK OF SHIPS.

New York, Dec. 13.-An amazing
situation has developed here at the
| gateway of the nation. Freight /,
piling up in the railroad yards, the
hundreds of miles of siding are filled
with loaded cars. The congestion is
paralyzing, and day by day the par.
alysis is creeping back along the
rails to interior centers.
But why? Because there are not
enough ships available to swallow up
the gorge of merchandise and break
the jam that has clogged the whole
business of expectation.
If camera was to be pointed west
ward from some vantage point over
the harbor, and if the lens were suf-
ficiently far-reaching, the picture
would show on the land a vast as
semblage of freight trains and on
the water scarcely any ships.
Both the glut of freight and the
lack of ships are incidental conse-
quences of the war and of half
century of short-sightedness. Great
Britain has swallowed up the ships,
seizing at will American merchant
men, steadily wiping out even the
semblance of an American merchant
marine. For example, there was the
Kankakee, an American ship, owned
by Americans, flying the American
flag, carrying coal to neutral ports
hitherto served by British traders.
So the Kankakee was seized, as was
the Hooking, as was the Genessee.
For be it known that no nation on
earth has any right to trade upon
the high seas except Great Britain,
unless by express permission of the
Mistress of the Seas"
So the freight piles up here-the
goods consigned to neutral countries
and bottoms as a rule are provided
only for munitions and supplies for
the allied armies.
Such is the commercial blockade |
that is putting a crimp in the pros
perity that has come to this city in
the past few months.
Such, too, is the result of half
century of neglect by the city to de-
velop the facilities of this port and
