HUGO DONZELMANN, 



PRAGUE, March 28, 1899. Consul. 



TRIESTE. 



POPULATION. 



The total population of this consular district, comprising the 

 provinces of Carinthia, Carniola, Litorale, and Dalmatia, is, accord- 

 ing to the latest census (December 31, 1890), 1,034,631. The pres- 

 ent population is estimated at 1,090,000. 



In 1890, the percentage of illiterates was 31 for Carinthia, 40 for 

 Carniola, 43 for Litorale, and 80 for Dalmatia. 



The people in the northern, but not in the southern, portion of 

 this consular district have mechanical traits. 



CONSUMPTION. 



Paper is used chiefly for printing, writing, and packing purposes. 



Practically the only industrial establishments requiring paper are 

 the playing-card and cigarette-paper factories of G. Finazzer and 

 Saul D. Modiano, both of Trieste. 



All classes (binding and packing, tissue and blotting, wall, card 

 and drawing, printing, writing, and cigarette paper) are used to a 

 greater or less extent. 



There are no special requirements as to quality, sizes, etc. Paper 

 of every quality, weight, and size is manufactured and used. 



The terms of sale are from four months to one year, with 2 to 5 

 per cent discount for cash. 



I have not been able to obtain data as to the quantities and value 

 of paper consumed here. 



The exact number of paper firms, companies, and brokers in this 

 consular district can not be ascertained; at any rate, it is not less 

 than thirty. All the Austrian and Hungarian paper companies and 

 many foreign paper firms have representatives at Trieste. 



The principal firms in Trieste are: 



Rudolf Mangold, Via Campanile 4 (general agent of the Leykam- 

 Josefsthal Paper Company). 



Antonio Paduvani, Via Canalpiccolo i. 



V. A. Pfeiffer, Via Forni n.
