Substantial Advances Rest
of Year.
Srecial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, Sept 1-As a result
OF the contra-seasonal stepping up Of
paper production during the last three
months, the industry is now operating
at about rs per cent of capacity. with
indications pointing to further SUBJ
stantial gains in operations during the
remainder of the year, according to
Poor's stock reports. Many of the
better situated concerns should 60 a
long way toward making up first
half losses before the year end, al
though earnings for the whole in
dustry are not likely to show full-year
results as high as 1887 levels
Although publishers accumulated
large inventories in anticipation Of
the price increase, which took place
the first Of the year, their stocks of
newsprint have been declining since
January l." states the report. Stocks
at mills on July 81 were the lowest
they have been at any time since
February, 1898.
ducers are cooperating and, in the
case of Canadian concerns have the
backing of their provincial govern
ments. Furthermore, the prospects
point to gradually increasing demand
for newSprint as business recovery
progresses. Profit margins should
widen with any continued rise in
volume. One danger which exists in
the maintenance of high price for
newsprint is that it may hasten the
investment Of new competitive capital
in the South. where experiments in
making newsprint from pine appear to
be successful.
Manufacturers of kraft products
are expected to show sharp gains in
sales over the coming months. The
market for wrapping paper, paper
bags, and paperboard has remained
relatively stable. depending as it does
on the volume of retail trade and it
is expected to increase substantially
over the medium term. Here again,
however, some doubts may be enter
tained as to maintenance of price
structures in view of the rapid ex-
pansion Of Southern kraft facilities.
Prices have improved after dropping
from $85 ton in June, 1887, to low
Of $3.50. Recently, prices have re-
covered to $50 ton, and they should
at least maintain this level with
growing demand indicated for the
coming months"

only Sl20,53l ,425, face value, the

The small turnover was attributed
