Abstract
THIS is a practical handbook dealing with secondary features of value of papermakers' staple raw materials. The home production of the wood pulps representing only a small fraction of the consumption, there is necessarily a large trade with foreign products, chiefly Scandinavian, German, and American, involving close control on both sides. The primary factor of value is “cellulose quality”—a somewhat elusive and complex term, and largely dependent upon empirical judgment; next in order, but of inverse importance, is the incidental moisture which for obvious reasons requires exact adjustment.
