PRICES SOARING
Paper Increase Causes Worry in Printing
Trade. Inks and ColOring Materials Up.

Uncertainty as 70 the future price of
printing paper is causing uneasiness in
the printing business. Scarcity of both
dyestulTs and other material used in the
manufacture Of paper has driven the
price of paper upward from 25 TO 80
per cent, according to dealers, and
printing ink is also much higher. Some
paper mills have stopped making GER
tam kinds of paper altogether because
they are unable to secure the proper
coloring material. This is especially
true with regard TO blue, yellow and
red paper. Paper mills are refusing to
quote prices for the future and have
withdrawn all price lists. In addition
to the lack of dyes the scarcity of rags
il making itself felt As in so many
other instances the European war is
being blamed for the situation
Immense stores of rags in warehouse
two yeass ago have been used, and no
experimenting supplies have reached
this country for many months, accord
ing TO Frank Bderck. superintendent Of
the Courier-Journal job Printing Com
pany, and G. G.. Ousley. president of
the Kentucky Print Shop Both said
printing ink of certain colors cannot be
had at all, while other kinds cost from
20 to 300 per cent more than formerly.
