314 PAPER IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



LIVERPOOL. 



* Replying to circular from the Department, I have to say: 



Although I have made energetic efforts to secure information, I 

 am not able to send any replies to the questions propounded that 

 would be of practical value. There are no paper mills in the Liver- 

 pool consular district, and this is not a center of the paper trade. 

 I feel it proper to say, also, that I found a manifest indisposition 

 on the part of paper dealers to give me the information asked for. 

 Failing in all efforts here to procure any information, I wrote to 

 the editors of the Paper Makers' Monthly Journal and of the Direct- 

 ory of Paper Makers a London, but I have just received a reply 

 regretting that the editor war* not able to assist me in the matter.
