e The cost Of paper is becoming
alarming 10 newspaper men all over the
land. As long as advertisers were pros
porous and eager in competition, the
burden fell upon them. There was
hardly an atom of profit in mere circula
lion. The white paper tina, The New
York Times was printed upon. before
the size was cut down, cost as much as
the paper when printed sold for TO the
carriers. The depression OF business
cut down the advertising patronage on
which il had depended, and the Tribune
had TO haul in its horns. The reduction
of the size az the Tribune, will reduce
its "paper bill'' six hundred dollars per
week, or thirty-ope thousand two hun
dred dollars per. year. The New York
Journal of Commerce, a paper OF i'm
msnse dimensions but of small circula
ton. recently stated lha, its bills fol
paper amounts to near ESQ. 900 per year

that its paper bill for the las, six months
