OBJECTIONABLE CLAUSE MODIFIED.
The Felt Makers’ Association Has Voted to Yield to the Protests of the Paper Stock Dealers and Suspend the “‘Rejection”’ Clause Till the Next Meeting to Be Held in March.
At the meeting of the Felt Makers’ Association held at the La- fayette Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., Tuesday, January 8, one of the subjects discussed was a communication from the paper stock dealers relative to the recent circular of the felt makers. Owing to the fact that some members of the Felt Makers’ Association were unable to be present there was not a full, meeting, and no final action was taken. Pending their next regular meeting in March the felt makers have, however, modified the terms of their present classification relative to the rejection of stock containing prohibited material. In a general way it is understood that in con- sideration of the mills agreeing not to return any stock, without an effort being made to make a settlement on the merits of the case, the stock dealers have consented that any prohibited material found in the bales shall be charged back at the invoice price, plus freight. It is expected that this new arrangement will work out to thé satisfaction of both mills and packers, who seem desirous of co- operating with one another in their efforts to improve the packing Under*the former arrangement, stock containing any prohibited material was subject to rejection, entailing heavy expense on the shipper, and taking away from the mill goods which they might have used to advantage at a proper allowance. If the new arrangement works satisfactorily, it is expected that the felt makers will take some final action in the matter at their next regular meeting, but until that time no new circular will be issued. It is expected that the New York Paper Stock Dealers’ Associa- tion will indorse the action of the mills at their regular meeting this week
of the goods.
Philadelphia Stock Men “Chew the Rag.”
[FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ]
PHILADELPHIA, January 15, 1907.—The meeting of the paper stock dealers on Thursday evening last was at once the most im- portant and the most interesting held in the history of that or- ganization. Indeed, such a mine of value to all in the trade was opened up that when adjournment came late at night it was not until the next month, but to the next week, and on Thursday evening next there will be a continuation, and it is hoped a con- clusion.
A programme for the meeting had been decided on, but the programme went by the board. For long before Edward Heming- way and D. I. Murphy were to have read formal papers on trade topics the question so long pending before the association—the re- lationship of the stock jobber, particularly those handling rags with the mills—was raised, and from that moment until the meet- ing closed there was not time for anything else. On the part of the rag dealers generally there is a feeling that the mills are not equitable in passing on the grading of stock. Many complaints were made, specifically by Edward Corner and others, along this These opened up the whole subject, and for several hours nearly everyone present participated in the general discussion. Be- cause that discussion finally ended wide of the mark of the as- sociation’s purpose and because no conclusion was reached, it was decided to take up the whole matter anew at the meeting on Thurs- day night of this week and to endeavor at that time to proceed in a definite way and to a conclusion. It is believed that this meet- ing will be the largest in point of attendance that has been held, and that a resolution suggested at the last meeting, but not even framed, will be taken up and passed as an expression of the atti- tude which the jobbers propose to take toward the mills. There is
line
little doubt that unity of action can be secured, for the grievan the jobbers have are universal. At the continued meeting, if th be time, Messrs. Hemingway and Murphy will read the papers t! were asked to prepare. E.R. G
Wiping Out Some of American Writing’s Common.
Boston, Mass., January 15, 1907.—Directors of the Americ Writing Paper Company have voted to recommend to stockholder that at the annual meeting, to be held February 12 in Eas: Orange, N. J., the total authorized capital stock of the compan now fixed at $25,000,000, be reduced to $22,000,000 by reduci: the common stock (of which $1,000,000 has never been issued) to $9,500,000, and retiring and cancelling $2,000,000 of the issue: common stock, which is now owned by the company and held i: its treasury.
Another Advance in Manilas ?
A special meeting of the executive board of the Manila and Fibre Association will be held in New York tomorrow, Friday The meeting has been called for the discussion of trade affairs in general. In the trade it was rumored that prices would be ad vanced again as a result of this meeting. At the last meeting of the association there were twenty-seven board members present. and out of this number twenty-six voted at that time in favor of an advance. It requires a unanimous vote to carry any question before the board, and the one dissenting vote ruined the chances for another increase at that meeting.
C. S. Boyd Paper Company Incorporated. [FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.]
AppLeton, Wis., January 14, 1907.—The C. S. Boyd Paper Com- pany, which was not previously incorporated, was, incorporated last week, the incorporators being C. S. Boyd, Robert F. Boyd and John Lowe. C. S. Boyd, who founded the business at Kau- kauna, of course remains at the head of it; Robert F. Boyd is his brother, who represents the Moser Paper Company, of Chi- cago, on the road, and John Lowe is the superintendent of the plant. During its comparatively short career thus far the C. S. Boyd Paper Company has built up a fine business, its specialty being cover papers, both plain and of higher quality.
Fox River.
Holyoke Enjoying Full Flow of Water. [FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.] Hotyoke, Mass., January 15, 1907.—Holyoke has gone for a week without restrictions as to the use of water having been placed
upon the mills by the Holyoke Water Power Company. It was stated at the office of the company today that restrictions would not be stated whether the mills would be able to run through the not be stated whether the mils would be able to run through the week without restrictions. There was a belief that slight re- strictions would be needed if cold weather set in for any length of time. It is understood in this city that the ice in the pond at Turners Falls is breaking up somewhat, and that with any slight increase in the flow of the river it would go out of the pond. The Holyoke canals are very free from ice, and with severe weather the flow of water will be choked off materially. Ferry.

TALC CONSOLIDATION.
The International Pulp Preparing to Absorb the Union Talc Company.
Meetings for Arranging the Final Details of the Proposed Consoli- dation Are Scheduled to Take Place This Week—The Inter- national Will Have a Monopoly—Ontario May Come In.
Negotiations are now pending which mean, according to in- formation from a most reliable source, the absorption of the Union Tale Company by the International Pulp Company, giving the latter concern practically a complete monopoly of the fibrous talc business of the United States.
A meeting of the controlling interests in both companies will be held probably in New York this week, at which time it is said the deal will be completed. By this deal the International will increase its production to about 200 tons per day, or about 99 per cent. of the total production of paper makers’ tale. The only in- dependent producer and competitor left in the field will be the On- tario Tale Company, of Gouverneur, N. Y., a comparatively small concern with an output of about 15 tons per day.
There were several meetings of the officials of this company with those of the International a short time ago, and the ultimate outcome of these conferences will no doubt be the inclusion of the Ontario Company in the combine also.
The Union Tale Company was incorporated in 1900 with a cap- ital of $1,000,000. The officers are C. E. Locke, president, and S. E. Locke, secretary and treasurer. President Locke is the controlling factor in the company, which has always been known as a close corporation. After it was organized the company ob- tained by purchase the business and properties of the Columbia Tale Company, American Pulp Company and Keller Brothers, all located at Gouverneur, N. Y. The capacity of these combined mills was about 100 tons per day of fine ground agalite. Previous to the pyrchasing of these three mills, which were then in active opera- tion, they were worked under a time contract agreement by the International Pulp Company, and this-agreement had just expired when they were taken over by the Union Tale Company. The three mines controlled by the company are known as the Balmat, Wight and Arnold properties, and include an enormous area of talc deposits. The American mill, with an output of about 35 tons per day, was burned in December, 1905. This mill was operated by steam and the other two by water power. One of the serious han- dicaps which the company has had to contend with is the somewhat isolated location of its mills, all of which are some distance from the nearest railroad. This has necessitated an extra expense for the hauling of the product to the shipping point.
Since the inception of the company Charles Beebe has been gen- eral sales manager, with entire charge of the marketing of the company’s product both in this country and in Europe. At today’s advanced prices the company is in a prosperous condition, and new business is increasing so rapidly that the mills are considerably behind in their deliveries.
The International Pulp Company has been considered the lead- ing factor in the talc industry since it was organized in 1893 with i capital of $5,000,000. *It was the original intention of the pro- moters of this company to absorb all the tale properties in and iround Gouverneur, N. Y., but a few of the mine owners refused to consider the disposal of their mills, which defeated the plans f the International people to secure a monopoly at that time. Chose that the company did acquire in 1893 were the Agalite Fibre Company, Adirondack Pulp Company, St. Lawrence Pulp Com- pany and the Natural Dam Pulp Company. In 1894 the company
PAPER TRADE JOURNAL 7
got control of the Asbestos Pulp Company. The few mills that were not included and which were later absorbed by the Union Talc Company agreed to market their talc through the International on a time contract agreement. The Adirondack mill of the company was burned about 1895 and was never rebuilt, being supplanted by an electric light and power plant. The original production of the company was about 100 tons per day. This was greatly increased by the building of the Hailsboro mill. It was named the “White Elephant,” and was considered the largest and best equipped talc mill in the country. It had an output of about 75 tons per day This mill was entirely destroyed by fire in July, 1906, and was a very heavy loss to the company. In August, 1906, the International secured control of the United States Talc Company, with a pro- duction of about 25 tons per day, and which has since been increased by additional equipment. Michael Doyle, of Rochester, N. Y., is president and the largest stockholder in the International Pulp Company. With the acquisiton of the Union Tale Company the International will be master of the fibrous talc business.

New England Paper Jobbers Meet Tonight. [FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ]
Boston, Mass., January 15, 1907—The Boston Paper Jobbers’ Association, or rather, the New England Paper Jobbers’ Associa- tin, since the name has been changed in keeping with the enlarged scope of the organization, will hold its annual meeting on Thurs- day evening of this week at Hotel Bellevue, Boston, when a new list of officers for the ensuing year will be elected. The meeting will be informal—just a business meeting in business garb, and it will be all business. Some of the officials of the New York association and of the National organization are expected to be present. Besides the Boston trade, a number of prominent dealers from the leading New England cities are expected at the meeting.

Progress Reported in Organizing Holyoke Paper Makers.’ [FRom OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ]
Hotyoxe, Mass., January 15, 1907—A meeting of Eagle Lodge of Paper Makers was held in Holyoke Sunday afternoon to listen to a report of progress that was to have been made on the re- vival of the lodge and the incorporation of the organization under the new ideas that W. E. Terry, national organizer of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, has been working out. On account of the illness of Mr. Terry very little was done at the meeting. The organization has not been completed, and it will require some time to perfect it.
It is reported that in cases where the machines are run twenty- four hours a day, and where men are compelled to work the two shifts, as at present, a demand will be made upon the manufac- turers for three shifts of eight hours in place of the two shifts now being operated. Little can be ascertained as to the standing of the present members of the lodge on this question or the feel- ing of the manufacturers toward it, but it is believed that the lodge will meet with considerable opposition before the demand, if made at once, is granted.

RENEWED MARKET ACTIVITY.
Firm in Boston—No Surplus Stocks in Chicago—Active in Phil- adelphia—Exceedingly Good in Miami Valley—Business Good in Fox Valley—Canadian Market Strong.
All branches of the paper trade, according to the statements of the manufacturers and dealers, show signs this week which in- dicate a resumption of the general activity of last year within the next few weeks. They all admit that the market has been rather quiet since the holidays, but they say the outlook is just as promising, and that they have no reason to believe that a general The stringency which was caused by the scarcity of raw materials is not now so pressing as it short time ago, and some materials are at present moving more freely.

The manila and fibre manufacturers will probably hold their regular meeting the latter part of this week. All the advanced prices are being firmly maintained, and the manufacturers display a steadfast confidence in the future prospects of the paper market The jobbing trade is just as confident, and preparations for hand- ling a big demand continue. Stock inventorying is about com- plete, and most of the dealers found that their supplies on hand were very nearly exhausted. With the improved car facilities delayed orders are coming forward with more regularity, and jobbers are replenishing their reduced stocks.

A Falling Off of Orders at Holyoke.
Western Massachusetts Office Tue Parer Trave Journat, Horyoxe, Mass., January 15, 1907 =!
The mills in this section have noticed somewhat of a falling off in orders during the past week, probably owing to the new year coming in and the buyers desiring to know just where they stand before placing orders for the future. Mill men say that gen- erally orders have a tendency to drop off at this time of the year, and that for a few weeks it is to be expected that business will be slightly dull. It is not expected, however, that trade will recede materially from its present condition, which is reported to be much better than it was a year ago. The winter has been such a good one for trade that manufacturers in general will not com- plain if business lets up for a time. In fact many of them will be glad of it. ¥
It is reported that the American Writing Paper Company con- tinues to have a nice trade, and that business with the better lines of paper is better than was expected. There has been a good de- mand for the book papers made by the company, while, as stated, the fine grades have sold well.
The past week has been a satisfactory one for the Whiting Paper Company at all of the mills. The Holyoke mills have been quite busy, and the mills of the Collins Manufacturing Company
at North Wilbraham have been running full time. promises well for these mills.
The Carew Manufacturing Company at South Hadley Falls h been running full time, and it is stated that business, while mn as brisk as it has been, has not shown the falling off that was | be expected at the beginning of the year. The Hampshire Pap: Company in that town also reports a satisfactory trade.
The Crane Brothers’ mills in Westfield report a fair trade ii the fine grades of paper.
The mont
The mills have been running on a fu! line of orders all of the season, and, the business of the year is reported to have been better than at any time in the history of the company. There has been a decrease in trade during the last few days, but the depression is regarded as temporary only, and was to be expected.
The Crocker-McElwain Company, of this city, has run its mill full time during the past week. Trade is reported good. The company has orders in hand for future shipment, and by the tim: that the new machine is ready for operation trade will have again recovered from the temporary dullness, and the company will be ready to receive all of the orders that may be given it.
The Esleeck Manufacturing Company at Turners Falls has had a good week in its typewriter papers, and the demand seems quite steady.
The B. D. Rising Paper Company at Housatonic is filling many good orders. This mill, which is one of the newest in western Massachusetts, has been handling a very satisfactory trade.
The mills of the Byron Weston Company at Dalton handle about the same number of orders each month, and January thus far has been a good month. The advent of C. S. Hemingway's con nection with the mill among the salesmen will be pleasant news to his many Holyoke friends, who have known him fog many years. Ferry.
Firm Tone to the Boston Market.
Eastern Office Tue Parzen Trapve Journat, } Arco Building, 127 Federal Street, » Boston, January 15, 1907. }
The jobbing distribution of paper just at present is not as heavy as during last month, and yet business is by no means dull, since the daily routine of trade is of fairly good volume. The tem- porary “let up” from certain quarters now being experienced is but a repetition of conditions usual during the early part of Jan- uary. Inquiries, however, are quite numerous from prospective buyers, from which it is inferréd that the outlook for the im- mediate future is very-encouraging. The weather so far this sea- son has been very favorable to the manufacturing branch of the trade throughout New England, water being in fairly good sup- ply, with no trouble from ice, except possibly in Maine, where the grinding of wood pulp has been curtailed a little. Shipments from mills have been very freely received of late, owing to improve- ment in railroad transportation. Every mill representative seen recently reports good business, mills running full, and production moving as quickly as cars can be loaded. The tone of the market is naturally very fine because of conditions now ruling, and mat- ters are being so shaped that manufacturers are not inclined to book their product very far ahead at present prices. Dealers are watc" ing prospective developments with close interest, that they may qu‘ckly adjust themselves thereto. DELESDERNIER.

Trade in Chicago is better than ever before at this season of the year, and the indications are that the coming year will be a banner one for the Western mills. All mills that can get the ma-
