Washington, Special.-r-That the
supply of ncw8-prmi~{)qper in the
American mills has been still further
depleted since March 30, so that on
April 30 th6ro was less than five days'
supply on hand, is the.purport oi 8.
Statement made public by Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of corpor
ations. The last statement, was of
April, showed hut 19,907 tons on
hand; since then there has been a
decrease of 1,847 tons. The decrease
since April 30, 1909, has been more
than 18,009 tons. The nojrmai con
sumption per day is said to i>e about
4,000 tons; the production capacity
about 4,125.
Decline in Production.
"Statistics of news-print paper for
April, 1910, as compiled by the
American Paper and Pulp Associa
tion, and died with the commissioner
of corporations, show a sharp decline
in production and a further drain
upon stocks. The total supply on
hand on April 30, 1919, was only 18,
C00 tons, a reduction of 1,847 tons
pince April 1. On April 30,1909, the
stocks were 36,133 tons. Stocks have
been steadily decreasing ever since
the end of last August, when they
exceeded 53,000 tons, As late as
January 1, 1910, they were in excess
of 2}>,000 tons. This continued de
crease has, as is well known, been ac-7
companied by u considerable increase
in price.
"This reduction in stocks is the
mot'? significant in view of the fact
that during the period front Janu
ary l'to April 30, 1900, there was
an increase from 20j376-tona- to 36,
133 tons, or of over 15,700 tons,
as compared with a decrease .of over
8.500 tons for the corresponding'four
liMiui'wi r i0iq, _
Large Mills.
"This redueflon in stocks is chiefly
duo to the reduction in output, which
fell from 84,219 tons in March, 1910,
to 80,489 tonB in Apjil, a net dc
clino of 3,730 tons. In April, 1909.
the production was 89,478?The
statistics for 1910 show a decrease in
production in April as compared with
January of 4,058 tons, whereas, the
same comparison in 1909 shows an
increase of over 7,700 tons.1 The
'normal' output for the month of
April, 1910, as computed by^ the as
sociation, it may be noted, is 90,538
tons; the actual output, therefore,
was only 83 per cent of this normal.
The decrease is chiefly attributed to
a strike in some of th$ large mills;
the production at the end of May is
said to be close to normal.
"The month's shipments were 83,
336 tons, or 1,847 tons more than the
{uoduction. The shipments were,
lowevcr, only 85 per cent of thif es
timated 'normal' for tho month, and
are considerably less than those for
preceding months of the current year
which have ranged between 86,200
ton^ and 87,500 tons,
? A Harrow Margin. ? ? '
"In this general connection, it if
really remarkable to note upon how
narrow a margin of iupply this in
dustry operates. The average stockr
held by manufacturers in the past one
and onc-haJf years would not exceed
at best .'three weeks' consumption,
while the manufacturers' stocks on
April 30, 1910, would not givarimore
than a week's supply. This situa
tion necessarily tends toward exeea
airo fluctuations in price."

the customs authorities decided that
this would not comply with the law,
