The chief articles manufactured from paper, the amounts of 

 which it is impossible to ascertain, are boxes for packing purposes, 

 bags, bobes for spinning purposes, and playing cards. 



Without doubt, the consumption of paper is likely to increase. 

 It is impossible, however, to furnish the figures of this expected 

 increase.
