BRITAIN'S IMPORTS.
STOPPAGE OF NONESSENTIALS.
HUGE STOCKS OF TOBACCO. EFFECT OF WOOD PULP PROHIBITION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received January 29, noon.) LONDON, January 28. Tt is estimated that there are 240.000,0001b of tobacco in bond, which is sufficient for two years. Most of this has already been paid for. The stoppage of imports will mean a loss in rercntie of £24,000,000. The estimated cuWo tonnage of all imported tobacco is tons annually. This is about one-twelfth of the space taken by paper, wood pulp. The stoppage of this is expected, and it is likely to necessitate the discontinuance .of many minor periodicals and the production' of fewer books, paiticularly sftvenpenny ilovels.
