 GENEVA, March 15, 1899. Consul. 



ST. GALL. 



I give below a report on paper, furnished this office by Mr. R. 

 Sauerlander, vice and deputy consul at Aarau, Switzerland. He is 

 a large publisher, and I asked him to furnish me with a report, as 

 there are no industries here into which paper enters as an important 

 factor.
