The deposits subject to check are of Wood Pulp. A syndicate of English capitalists is engaged in an endeavor to pro- mote a market in this country for tie silks made chiefly from wood pulp. This product is principally obtained in South America, g furnishing a large supply. The vegetable silk has its origin in trees and is readily adaptable to looms. The woven threads are which process a silky finish resembling mer- goods. Tor several years past this glossy material has been sold in piece lengths to the trade, by which it is utilized for filling purposes.
