There s no doubt they will find Canada a very hard nut ;o crack, for the maritime provinces have already iroved that they can compete profitably in this market, while many of the new mills are backed jy British paper-makers' capital, and can count an being supported by the paper^makers repre- sented. Among these latter we may mention the St. John Sulphite Co., the capital of which has been furnished almost exclusively by Scotch paper-makers ; the Dominion Pulp Co., an Eng- lish company, with one of the largest English paper-makers at its head ; the Cushing Sulphite Co., two-thirds of the capital of which has been guaranteed by another well-known English paper-maker.
