The reports from the pulp mills were confined to the consumption of 

 wood taken from the Adirondack forests, and do not include stock shipped 

 to the mills from Canada. The large amount returned by the International 

 Paper Company represents the combined consumption of eleven mills, viz. :

On a basis of 600 feet to the cord, this would be equivalent to 76,384,200 

 feet, B. M. 



Of the 289,125,600 feet consumed in the manufacture of wood pulp, 

 about four-fifths was spruce, the remainder consisting of balsam, hemlock, 

 pine, and poplar. It is impossible to state the exact proportion of spruce, 

 because many of the mills were unable to classify their returns in this 

 respect. 



From the previous statements of forest production in the Adirondacks, 

 as published annually in my reports, it will be seen that the consumption 

 of wood for pulp has increased from 51,966,262 feet in 1890 to 289,125,600
