It is the best sample of ground pulp that we ever seen, being entirely free from blemishes, and ought to satisfactorily meet the requirements of paper makers. Messrs. H. Abbott, H.

Norwegian producers report stocks as small, and it is probable that the weakness of the market will be only temporary. It is said that United States capitalists have submitted an offer for the pulp mills of the Maritime Sulphite Pulp Company at Chatham, N.

Obalski has been intrusted by the Minister of Public Instruction of France, and by the Natural History Museum, with a scientific mission to Canada, the object of which is to make collections for the national mustum and to report on the industries of the country.

The loss is estimated at $40,- 000 and is covered by insurance.
