Howâ€" ever, what may have been lacking in numbers was made up in enthusiasm and interest and according to the reâ€" ports from North Bay the meeting was a very successful one.

"Canada holds, by a wide margin, the leading position as a producer of newsâ€" print with a daily capacity more than twice that of the United States, its nearest competitor, but while present conditions are not very favourable, there is no doubt that the industry will overcome its troubles, and that when the longâ€"expected revival takes place it will be among the first to make proâ€" gress. _ "Output of the Canadian newsprint mills in the first eleven months of the year amounted to 2,111,381 tons, which was a decline of 6 per cent. from the production in the corresponding months of 1929, but was an increase of 8 per cent. over the eleven months of 1928.

"The woodâ€"pulp market was very disâ€" turbed during the year and prices were seduced to unprofitable levels. Chemiâ€" cal pulp sold at the lowest prices in years and production was curtailed in view of the falling off in demand.
