GERMANY. 483 



There are several small wood-pulp-manufacturing establishments 

 in this part of Germany, but their products are principally taken by 

 the paper and paper-box manufacturers of this country.

ANNABKRG, December j, 1898. Consul. 



BARMEN. 



The numerous inquiries instituted by me as to the uses of wood 

 pulp here have failed to give satisfactory information. All I have 

 been able to learn is that wood pulp is employed to a considerable 

 extent in the manufacture of carpet lining, towels, etc. A stock 

 company Claviez & Co. with a factory in Plagwitz-Leipzig and 

 Adorf, Vogtland, Saxony, uses wood pulp to a large extent in the 

 manufacture of the above-mentioned articles.

Wood pulp is not made in this consular district, nor is it used in 

 manufactures. Even the raw material for wood pulp is not brought 

 into this port, although Bremen is otherwise a great wood market. 

 The wood for pulp, as far as it is foreign (in this case, Swedish), is 

 brought chiefly to Hamburg, where it is transshipped and brought 

 up the River Elbe for the Saxon wood-pulp mills. Saxony is the 

 country where pulp is principally made. 



I am not aware that it is used for other purposes than for the 

 manufacture of paper and cardboard. 



A year or two ago, a large stock company was organized at Cassel 

 for the utilization of waste wood ("Holzabfallverwertung"), but I 

 do not know the nature of this concern.

FREIBURG. 



In answer to the circular letter of the Department calling for a 

 report on wood pulp and its use in manufactures, I beg to say that 

 all my efforts to locate such an industry in this consular district have 

 met with no success, and I feel convinced that none exists here. 



While away on leave of absence last fall, I spent a few days at
