The operators accused him Of "butting

newspapers for "hlabbing'' facts that he

Swedcn's Paper Industry

In Sweden the paper making indus
try. according to consular adviccs, suf-
fered severely during the war period
on account of the great scarcity of
chemicals used in the manufacturing
process. The latter became almost
unobtainable, while the prices advanced
beyond reason; this was particularly
true of sulphur. In 1916 the paper
mills formed a combination which
bound the members to the strictest &C
countability and provided for a high
fine when any manufacturer sold below
the fixed rates. This led to further
increase. The cost Of labor has gone
up materially, while the supply is les
sencd. The paper mills, and the banks
which hold large quantities of their
notes, declare that the prevailing
prices are justified by cost Of produc-
ton.
For period this condition checked
trade, but recently England has been
buying, and it is understood that there
have been inquiries from France.
which have improved the situation
little, but some of the banks, it is re-
ported, are showing signs of nervous
ness because of the comparative slow
ness Of the sales.

makers, was in scant supply.
Manufacturers Of plumbers supplies
Of rubber goods reported that business
was active owing to new building op-
erations and to the repairing of old
structures. Orders for mechanical
goods have improved because of the
broadening activity Of the country's
leading industries, but some Of the
manufacturers intimated that the COM
petition for business has resulted in
the extension of more favorable dis
counts to the buyers, the increasing Of
discounts being tantamount to re-
duction in prices. Trade in bicycle tires
