This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed.

Bdj[iftered at the Qeneral Poit OAoe at a Vewipaper.

An ordinary general meeting of the share- holders of this company was held at the Cannon-street Hotel, E.C., on Tuesday last, when the chairman, Mr. Walter Monckton, J.P;, presided. There was not a large attendance.

Mr. S. L. Green, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting and the minutes of the last annual meeting.

The annual halance sheet for the Tear ending March, 1898, shows a profit of 1,380 lis. 3d., to which has to he added 234 7s. 6d. from last year, making a total of 1,614 188. 9d., of which 337 lOs. (24 per cent.) was distributed as interim dividend for the half- year at December 1st last. The directors, in their report, recommended that the remain- ing sum be disposed of as follows: (1) By writing off for depreciation on fixed plant and machinery the sum of 300 ; and (2) by leaving the remainder 977 8s. Od. at the credit of profit and loss account. The directors regret that, in consequence of the heavy coste incurred in connection with the law suit referred to in the last annual re- port, they are unable to recommend a further dividend at present.

The Chairman said he would not take up their time with any preliminary observa- tions, and therefore proposed that the 16th annual i*eport and balance sheet be adopted.

Mr. Greig said he was quite in ignorance as to the law proceedings mentioned in the report, and would like to have a few particulars.

The Chairman quite agreed. He had hoped the report which had been issued would have explained the matter. The auditor hjid put on the balance-sheet that the balance at the credit of proHt and loss account (1,277 8s. 9d.) was subject to the law costs in the ?ase of Balston v, the Com- pany. The cost had now been ascertained. It was some 39 ^ears that the mill of this company was built, and he (the Chairman) had been connected with it from the com- mencement. His eldest son carried on the management, and after his death, a company was formed for family reasons about the year 1882. Mr. Davidson was th^n a director of the company. The chairman accepted thousands less than the value set upon the works, etc., by Messrs. Fuller, Horsey and Co., and also by a valuer at Maidstone. The mill was turned over to a small company, and he had all along acted as chairman, and the results had been most successful. He added that not a penny was charged for good- will. A year or two back a neighbour built a mansion costing about 30,000 near the mill. He complained of the smell created, smoke, and other nuisances, and although everything was done to allay the alleged nuisances, it was found impossible to come to any satisfactory understanding. The case was taken into court, and they were com- pelled to defend it. The trial was put off until January of this year, when Judge Kekewich decided against the company. They thought that being in possession of the mill for 39 years, they had a perfect right to carry on the business. An appeal was then considered, and the Papermakers' Association kindly came to the front, but it was thought proper, and rightly so, to take further opinion. The case was uigiTizea oy .%^j v^^v^^p^iv^

submitted to Mr. * Cozens-Hard^, Q.C., | and he thought it very questionable whether the}r would bucceed.so the directors accepted I the inevitable. They had practically to close t their mills. To meet the difficulty they had ! acquired at a small cost, for one year, a small building, wherein it was proposed to erect such machinery to enable them to boil their rags, and thus remove the nuisance. The distance was about a mile, and they had purchased a little barge for carrying pur- poses. The past year had been a very worrying one for the directors. The costs of the recent action were 1,021, which by taxing were reduced to 600. That amount had been paid, and the difference repre- sented the expenses that had to be met by the company in the matter.

Mr. Slt was gratified with what the chair- man had said. He hoped that it would be possible to continue with their present small capital.

The Chairman explained that their object in seeking further capital was to get a suit- able site, erect improved machinery, and take advantage of every facility to increase the business of the company. The goodwill of the business was very valuable.

Mr. Maokib asked whether it was possible to stay where they were. He thought it likely that Mr. Balston would become a purchaser.

The Chairman then proposed that the report and balance-sheet be adopted.

Mr. A. L. Don seconded. After the ex-

S licit statement made by their chairman he id not think more could be said at the present time. He was sure confidence in their directors would not be misplaced. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Frank Orbbn moved that the sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account, after meeting depre- ciation on fixed plant and machinery, be appropriated as shown in the directors* report. They had had an explanation and a very lucid one, from the chairman, as to the

Sisition the company had been placed in. e considered it unneighbourly on the part of a fellow papermaker, and moreover, the action taken was likely to cause the removal of a considerable amount of labour from the town of Maidstone, and the party responsible must certainly lose in the estimation of the people there, and no doubt he would find nimself eventually placed in an unenviable position. Their course was to pursue the best and wisest one, and he regarded the lines adopted by the directors as the most prudent. There were legal difficulties they had to consider, before moving in any par- ticular direction, and he thought the direc- tors well advised in not incurring further expense.

Mr. Grbio seconded, and the resolution was passed unanimously.

Messrs. C. R. Smith and A. L. Don were re-elected directors, and Mr. C. H. Hughes re-appointed auditor.

Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Orbbn referred terms of the highest praise to the work of

2

the directors during the past year, and felt their arduous labours deserved the warmest appreciation ou the part of the shareholders. He moved that 100 be divided amongst them -five in numlier.

Mr. Slt made a few comments, remarking that he did not in the least depreciate what the directors had done.

The Chairman mentioned that, taking the last 10 years, an average dividend bad been paid of 7| per cent.

Mr. Mackir seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously.

Mr. Mackib said the thanks of the direc- tors and shareholders were due to Mr. Ker- shaw for the able way in which he managed the works. He proposed a resolution to that effect, and being duly seconded,

Mr. Kbrshaw acknowledged the compli- ment.

A vote to the Chairman was then passed, un the proposition of Mr. Don, seconded by Mr. Sly.

An extraordinary general meeting fol- lowed, the chairman, Mr. Walter Monckton, J. P., presiding.

The resolution, passed at a previous meet- ing, to divide the 5 shares of the company into five shares of 1 each, was duly con- firmed.

The meeting also agreed to an issue of 10,000 preference shares of 1 each, to be en- titled to a cumulative preferential dividend at the rate of 5^ per cent, per annum.

The proceedings then terminated.

CAN BRITISH PAPERHAKERS HOLD THEIR OWN?

An Interview with Major Aokerman, of New York.

One of the objects of the proposed com- bination of British "news" mills was to fight American competition, manufacturers complaining that the market was becoming utterly demoralised owing to the extraordi- nary growth in the exports of American paper to Great Britain and the low quota- tions ruling. It was believed that bv united action the British " news" mills could eflfect certain economies, and be in a position to sell their product at a price that would make it utterly impossible for foreign competitors to compete on a remunerative basis. There is no doubt that the chief "news" mills in this country, despite the competition of the foreigner, are in a healthv state, and in a position to pay bigh dividends at regular intervals. The mtorest displayed in the com- bination scheme has, apparently, been of a very lukewarm nature, and its collapse is not in any way surprising.

The question to be considered is whether British mills are able to successfully combat the competition of the United States and other countries ? With the energy now dis- played bv British papermakers, the keen- ness exhibited in tne buying of raw ma- terials, and the up-to-date methods intro- duced in the manufacturing departments, there is no reason to fear but that the British papermaker is well able to hold his own. With the extensions going on right and left, the manufacturer discerns that be must place himself in a position to meet the grow- ing demand for paper. The consumption in Great Britain is enormous, and, evidently, owing to an inefficient production on the part of British mills in tne past, there has been a good opening for the foreign product.

It is encouraging to learn that paper- makers of this country, after visiting the United States and studying the methods of working in the various mifls, feel convinced that Great Britain is not very much, if at all, behind the times. A very general im- pression seems to be that the exportation of American news is likely to decline in the future, as the contracts made during the last vear or two have entailed heavy nnancial

IG

Our representative, in a chat the other day with Major J. Fred. Ackerman, of New York, asked a few particulars concerning American competition with this country. The Major admitted that several American exporters had favoured a short-sighted policy, and in covering the same ground had brought prices down to an unremunerative '^asis. There were certain firms, however,

ho had spent money in cultivating the

British market, and it was not their inten- tion to lose the hold they had obtained. The United States, with its vast natural re- sources and ability to produce cheap paper, must look forward to a large export trade, and Great Britain was undoubtedly the best market. At the present time the annual im- portation of foreign paper into Great Britain was three-and-a-lmlf million pounds sterling, and he believed in the course of a very few years that amount would be doubled. The Majorwas of opinion that some sales of American paper had been made in the British market at a loss, but there were firms, profiting by past experience, who had great hopes of doing a healthy and profit- able business in the future. The secret of the American export trade was to keep prices firm in the home market, and to ship the surplus.

In discussing the collapse of the British '* news combine," Major Ackerman said the mills in this countrv had not followed the example set by the American mills. Across the Atlantic they had tasted the bitters of home competition, and now were in a position to enjoy the sweets of combination. There had been two previous unsuccessful attempts in the United States to form a com- bination, but on the last occasion the pre- vious pitfalls were avoided, each mill owner agreeing to decide by the valuation put on the properties by the appraisers ap- pointed. Major Ackerman is interested m the Rumford Falls Mills, where, he said, wide machines were running 425 feet per minute. With Major Ackerman in London last week, was Mr. E. F. Gallister, of Liver- pool, the representative on this side of Messrs. Perkins, Goodwin and Co., of New York.

Undoubtedly it will be necessary for British papermakers to keep on the alert, as the tendency of American paper manufac- turers is to cultivate a large export trade. Continental countries which, in previous years, did a fairly large export trade to Great Britain, have already felt the pinch of American competition in the British market.

The exports of paper from the United States have grown in value from 1,078,561 dols. in 1888 to 4,504,051 dols. in 1808, the latter figures representing only ten months. The average value of paper snipped abroad from New York alone is about 00,000 dols. per week. The major portion of the busi- ness represented by these figures is done with Great Britain. The exports of printing paper for 1808 (ten months) were valued at 2,286,655 dols.

** Anglo Saxon," in writing in the New York raper Trade JoumaL^ says : " The English market presents an alluring field for American papermakers, and there is a far prreater number engaged in the export business than is generally known at present. Some are doing business abroad at a profit, others at a loss. Some have tried the ex- periment and have given up in despair. Some others, possess^ of keener business instincts, have pocketed the losses accruing from their inexperience and, profiting there- by, have recouped those losses and are to-day uigiTizea oy x^jv>'vyp^i\^

canyine on a successful export business. Successful trading with England depends upon a perfect knowledge of the English market and of English trade customs. The average layman will tell you that the freight rate to England is a very fair one. So it is, but there are some understood but not ex- pressed incidentals not included in that rate, which amount to considerable, and which have proven the undoing of more than one paper man with the export bee in hi.s bonnet. Packing is a very big item in making shipments of paper to England. The gr^At trouble with American goods is insumcent packing. Goods arrive in London in wretched condition. The con- signee kicks and probably refuses to take the goods. The consignor is 8,000 ra iles awav. Question: What is to be done? Tho only way to meet such a contingency is to have a man on the ground to attend to such complications, until such time when the American manufacturer can learn how to pack his goods absolutely correct. Hundreds of rolls of paper are constantly arriving in England that could never be put on a print- ing press. In some cases the rolls are so crushed that the iron core is flattened at the ends or badly bent. The art of packing goods for export is an art which Americans have yet to learn. It is a real pleasure to so down to the East India or Royal Albert iJocks in London and see the way the English pack their goods. And it isn't so expensive. It is simply the art of knowing how. How many American paper manufacturers know that the majority of Enelish-made paper is run damp or made witn a rough surface? How many know that there isn't a tvmpan sheet in all England ? The high suriuce on the American paper is therefore a detriment. The English pressmen do not take kindly to American surface news. Every roll of paper shipped to England should have plainly stamped upon it the number of yaras con- tained therein. The English pressman has a happy knack of turning yards into quires. The English pressman s qufre consists of twenty-ei^ht complete papers, flat, no folders bemg used on English presses. The size of the paper may vary, but there are always twenty-eight papers in a quire. When the number of yaras in a roll of paper is in plain sight, the pressman's calculations are greatly facilitated. This is a small matter, but the nearer the American can conform to English ideas in selling paper the

less friction there is likely to be between buyer and manufacturer. If you are selling paper to the English wholesaler he will ask that you make him a price f.o.b. New York, Boston, or Philadelphia. This is done be- cause he does not wish to become familiar with the details of shipment and handling on the other side. But if you are trying to sell to the lav^e consumer you must familiarise yourself with these details. They are very necessary, for the consumer wants a price at his liack door, not f.o.b. New York. In put- ting up cheap papers the finisher in the English mill pays greater attention to detail than does his American cousin. The packing and sorting is done in the most careful manner. A ream of paper, unless otherwise specified, contains 480 sheets no more, no less. Variations of the ream for different papers are fixed by the Papermakers* Asso- ciation. The average American paper mill packs anv where from 400 to 51(^ sheete to a ream. The English stand aghast at such methods. They argue: 'Such carelessness is most reprehensible. It is unsafe. If a , man is careless in his counting most likely he ' will be careless as to his packing and even as to the quality of his pap?r.' Imperfect sheete are put m a certain place and plainly marked by English packers The pressman knows just where to look for these sheets and supposes everybody on the round earth knows where they should be put. When, therefore, he runs amuck of some imperfect sheets of American Pj^per where he least ex- pects to find them, he proceeds to say things. A large number of untutored American salesmen are each year turned loose on the British consumer. As a rule these men don't know the very first principles of Eng- lish business methods. A salesman, for in- stance, will quote a certain price New York, two off. This at once stamps him a novice, for everybody who knows anything at all about English discounts knows they move in steps of IJ per cent., because that per cent., being 3d. on the pound, is much easier to calculate, as it is free of vulgar fnictions. There is a 2^ ix^r cent, discount in England, but never a 2 per cent. A large number of orders taken in England by American paper and pulp manufacturers are never filled. Such business methods have the effect of bringing the American manufacturer into disrepute. For this reason more than one reputable concern has experienced great difficulty in establishingareputationabroad.'*

tteros of Interest to flanufacturers. Agents and Buyers.

Advices from Christiania state that Scan- dinaviaD manufacturers of sulphite are show- ing more readiness to accept lower prices from British consumers. The reason ^iven is that earlv next year the market will be flooded with the product of several mills.

Manufactcrbbs of mechanical pulp in both Norway and Sweden report busuiess as satisfactory. Complaints are made, how- ever, that some mills have needlessly ac- cepted reduced prices.

Some good enquiries are reported by the Scandinavian mills from French consumers, who show a disposition to conclude con- tracts at present rates.

A GOOD deal has been said in reference to American and Canadian competition, but taking the figures for 1897, Norway and Sweden have well held their own.

The value of the total imports of wood pulp into Great Britain last year amounted to 1,839,761.

Op this amount, over 80 per cent, repre- sented the supplies from Norway and Sweden.

Canada comes next on the list, but the trade done last year was under 5 per cent, of the total value.

The shipments of wood pulp from the United States were of a value tnat did not exceed 3 per cent.

The exporta from Germany were under 2i per cent.

From Holland, just over 2} per cent.

From Belgium, under 2J per cent.

Nearly the whole trade is in the hands of the Scandinavians.

It is evident, however, that the Canadians intend making a strong bid for the custom of the British papermaker, and that with better steamship facilities arrivals at British ports are likely to be on a larger scale in the near future.

Already during the present year some verjr large cargoes of wood pulp have been received from Canadian mills.

Two schooners loaded with brimstone have lately arrived at the port of Portland with cargoes consigned to the Burgess Sulphite Fibre Companv, N. H., U.S.A. These two cargoes, together with the cargo the com- pany received direct from Sicily by steamer, will probably cover its supply until the end of the year.

The Burgess Sulphite Fibre Companv turned out during the month of May 5,221 tons air-dry fibre, or a daily average of 201 tons for every day in the month, Sundays excepted.

The plant of the Eatahdin Pulp and Paper Company, Lincoln, Me., U.S.A., produced an average of 31 tons of sulphite pulp daily dur- ing May. The highest daily average here- tofore has been 28 tons daily.

A Canadian correspondent writes that the following assets of the Cascapedia Pulp and Lumber Company, which is in liquida- tion, are to be sold b\ auction on the 14th of July : Forty acres of land at Maria, in the County of Bonaventure, Quebec, with the saw mill, saving outfit, shops, dwellings, etc. ; 76 square miles of timber limits on Salmon river, said limits being very rich in spruce and cedar ; the rights of the company on the Eskiminac timber limits containing 108i square miles ; sundry articles as booms, boats,
