That the supply of newsprint paper in the Amer ican rallls has been still further de pleted since March 30, so that on April 30, there was less than five days' sup ply on hand, is the purport of a state ment made public by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations The last statement, as of April 1, show ed but 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 18,000 tons. The normal consumption per day is said to be about 4000 tons; the produc tion capacity about 4125. Following is the commissioner's statement: Paper Shortage. Statistics of newsprint paper for April, 1910, as compiled by the Ameri can Paper and Pulp association and filed with the commissioner of corpor ations, show a sharp decline in produc tion and a further drain upon stocks. The total supply on hand on April 30, 1910, was only 1S.060 tons, a reduc tion of 1847 tons since April 1. On April 30, 1909, the stocks were 36,133 tons, end of last stocks have been steadily decreasing over since the end of last August when they exceeded 53,000 tons. As late as January 1, 1910, they were in excess of 2C.000 tons. This con tinued decrease has as is well known been accompanied by a considerable In crease in prices. "This reduction in stocks is the more significant in view of the fact that during the period from January 1 to April 30, 1909, there was an increase from 20.376 tons to 36,133 tons, or of 15 700 tons, compared with a decrease of over 8500, tons for the corespond ing four months of 1910. Reduction In Outpnt. "This reduction in stocks is chiefly due to the reduction in output, which fell from 84,219 tons in March, 1910, to 80,489 tons in April, a net decline of 3730 torus. In April, 1909, the pro duction was S9.47S tons. The statistics for 1910 show a decrease In produc tion In April as compared with Janu ary of 4058 tons, whereas the same com parison In 1909 showed an increase of over 7700 tons. The normal output for the month of April, 1910. as compared by the association. It may be noted, Is 96 538 tons; the actual output, there fore, was only S3 percent of this nor mal The decrease K chiefly attributed to a strike in some of the large mills; the production ar the end of May Is said to be close to normal. The Shipments. "The month's shipments were S2.336 -ie.T rmi more than the pro tons, Ul J Oil w - - duction. The shipments were, however, only So percent of the estimated nor mal for the month, and are consider ablv less than those for preceding !.. tv, r.nT-rfnt vear. which have ranged between S6;200 tons and Si.OO "The stocks on hand as above given do not Include paper stored by manu facturers at destination for account of specific customers, but the amount of such stored stocks at the present time is said to be negligible. Mll.- "In this general connection it is real ij remarkable to note how narrow a mar gin of supply this Industry operates. The average stocks held by manufac turers In the last year and a half would not exceed at best three weeks con sumption, while the manufacturers stocks on April 30. 1910. would not give more than a week's supply. This sit uation necessarily tends toward ex cessive fluctuations in prices. ,-.,-tt TT-rr-.TT "VrrR OF" "letters OX holiday the merchants are not in favor of this j closing, they wish to tender their J thanks to those merchants who con- sented to allow their clerks this much needed rest during the hot summer months.

I am instructed by the Retail Mer chants' league to advise you that at a meeting held by that body last night that the majority of the merchants of the association oppose the closing of their stores one afternoon during each week. It is regretted by them that it is not consistent for them to do so, for various reasons connected with the na ture of their business, and you can readily see that unless all of the retail merchants of the city would close their .daces of business.
