PAPER FAMINE THREATENED
Mills enable to Work Full Time On
Account of Scarcity of Water.

Account of Scarcity of Water
The paper problem is getting to be a
very serious one. and the trouble is be-
coming acute. In a recent issue the
New York Commercial. speaking of the
subject said:
Never have paper manufacturers
been SO short of water as now. and it
is currently reported that unless rains
come soon in the eastern part of the
country there will be a famine in pa
per Of all descriptions. Jobbers are
beginning to feel the effect of the
prospective famine, and are trying to
prevent their customers from putting
in further orders. So serious has the
matter become that all prices on paper
are withdrawn and bills are stamped
that all prices arc subject to change
without notice.
The worst situation is in New Eng
land. where the mills have so little
water that they are closed down part
of the time. and unless rain falls soon
they will have to close entirely. Holy
ollc is especially afflicted. The Con-
nccticut river hasn't been SO low in
years. and rain comes on in titful show
crs, which amount to nothing. The
same general statement applies to the
entire Connecticut Valley. None of
the mills on the river. Of which there
arc q large number. have water enough
to keep them running full time.
Maine has not felt the drought so Sc
vcrely but the water is low in all man
,, ufacturing centcrs. and unless copious
rains soon fall some mills will make
but very little paper this winter.
New York state manufacturers have
been more favored than most of the
others, and a larger proportion OF the
mills are enabled to run full time.
! They are far behind in their orders.
however. AID the situation promises no
| immediate improvement
In the west. especially Wisconsin.
water is low and the output of the
mills is seriously cartuilcd, and the
prospect appears disconraging Some
manufacturers say that they will be
compelled to stop work entirely if they
do not have rain.
The shortage in paper could not have
come at Il more inopportune time. The
demand for news was never so large as
now. and is steadily increasing, it has
been great news year, and the duilies
have been turning out larger editions
than ever before. and there seems to
be no prospect of Il diminution in de-
mand. For book purposes there is an
equally strong demand. occasioned by
the increased output of books. Prices
on both book and newspaper are
10 to 20 per cent higher than they
were three months ago, and quota
tions are not guaranteed for the day
they are given out.
The prospect of IA famine becomes
the more serious when it is known that
jobbers were never so busy as they are
now. They are away behind in their
deliveries. and more than one large
jobbcr will not go near his Office. 9th.
ers will not answer the telephone fol
fear some buyer is going to put in Il
vigorous kick about delay in filling
orders.
Even the International Paper Com
pany is crampcd in its deliveries. ant
is said to be refusing all foreign orders
until it is certain that it can take care
of its own customers.
