PAPER UP IN PRICE.
Makers Withdraw Old Quotations.
Increase : TO 20 Per Cent.

New York, Jan. 31.-Rags are

day from paper mills withdrawing all
quotations pending revision.
One of the largest companies, the
American Writing Paper company, in
its letter to jobbers, said the action
was necessary owing ITO the con-
tinued advances in ra5r and all other
materials which enter into the cost
of making paper
Coal bills and labor are both higher
in price this winter, and che men are
said to contemplate further demands.
The grades that will feel the maxi
mum advances, it is said, are those
which are sold in the greatest guam
cities and range in wholesale prices
from to 20 cents a pound.
Various other lines are to be ad-
vanced also. The United States En-
velope company is sending out no
tees Withdrawing all old prices, and
it is said that the envelope advances
will generally range from 5 20 10 per
cent. Tablets, pads, box-boards,

Dun's Weekly Review.


New York, Feb. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Although the average Of the 60
most active railway securities fell
this week to the lowest point since
1904, there was no corresponding re-
action in commercial activity, which
continued beyond precedent. Reports
from leading manufacturing centers
indicate that scarcely any idle ma
chinery can be found, preparations
for future trade evidencing we'll
maintained consumption. Forward
business i; most extensive in the iron
and steel manufacture and the cot
ton industry, but other prominent
producers have liberal contracts on
hand also, and the mercantile outlook
is bright. Wholesale houses are re-
ceiving large contracts for spring de-
livery especially in dry goods lines
and. the settled winter weather has
produced a wholesale reduction in re-
tail stocks of heavy weight wearing
apparel and other seasonable goods.
Notable strength is still the feature
in primary markets for cotton goods,
and predictions Of further advances
are being realized constantly, despite
apparent precedents to the contrary.
A regular resume Of the situation dis
closes a level of prices and scarcity
of supplies that has not existed since
the Civil war, while there is the ad-
ditional factor Of no element threat
ening weakness although quotations
are conceded to be abnormally high.
But with the production Of mills sold
so far ahead, there is no interest IN
new business and spot stocks are
practically nothing, while in many
departments no goods will be availa-
BILE for some months.
AS to wooden goods the next devel-
opment Of interest will be the open
ing of higher grades, notably fancy
worsteds, about which nothing def1-
mite is known.
New England footwear manufac-
turers report liberal supplementary
spring orders from eastern whole
salers, and are operating all ma
chinery in filing these contracts.
