The total product is closely estimated by leading men in the trade 

 (there are no official or exact returns) at 1,200 tons per week. The 

 British ton being 2,240 pounds, the weekly product in pounds is 

 2,688,000. By far the larger part of the output is writing and 

 printing of all grades. The production of these classes of paper 

 and of news print amounts to 930 tons per week. It should be 

 added that a very small proportion is news, either common or fine; 

 the quantity is almost insignificant. An insight into the industry 

 and into the general character of the product, as well as the amount, 

 can best be afforded by showing the kinds (specialties) and total 

 quantity of paper made by each of the 14 mills turning out the vast 

 bulk of the paper manufactured here. The following statement has 

 been carefully prepared, and in the matter of paper production in 

 the Lothians it is more complete and more nearly accurate than that 

 given by the Paper Mills Directory and Year Book of the Paper- 

 Making Trade for 1899. It is kindly furnished by one of the best- 

 informed paper makers in Scotland, who took unusual pains to 

 ascertain the facts. The rates of production given are, per week:
