The newspapers will have to bear a
share Of the backHcks of the war. News
print has advanced a cent a pound; the
subscription price remains stationary.
The rise is due mainly to the utiliza-
ton by the paper combina ton recently
made Of the pretext offered by the act
Of Spain in making sulphur CONTRA
band. Thereupon the price of crude
seconds went from $22 to $3S ton, an
advance of eight-tenths of a cent a
pound, and the paper mills showed paper
up $40 a ton, covering In the increase in
price of a ton of paper the increase
OF cost of the sulphur used in making
it many times over. Sulphur Is used
in the manufacture Of sulphite fiber,
from which print paper is now almost
wholly made. Our main supply of sui
phur comes from Sicily, and Spain
made it contraband to prevent it's use
in this country in making powder.
Italy, upon whom the decree falls
heavily. has made protest, representing
that but about 5000 of the 900 tons
imported into the United States go to
the making Of powder. 1t Is not prob
able that the protest will be Of any
avail.
