HIGHER COST OF PAPER AND HIGHER
PRICES ON PRINTINS and BOOKS.
Vicksburg, Miss, August 9

Vicksburg, Miss, August %.
To OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS:
In answer to so many questions:
What causes high prices of paper, and
what will cause higher prices of print
ing, or at what time do we think
prices will decline? These questions
are being asked of us constantly, and
we would reply that present and
future conditions are due to contin-
nous increase in cost of paper, the
causes for which may be presented as
follows:
Fifty per cent of the bleached and
unbleached sulphite and ground wood
pulp used i'm the manufacture of pa
per has come from Europe. The CEN
trail countries and Russian Empire
have ceased to furnish this product,
while the same product from Norway
and Sweden has materially decreased.
The small amount coming from the
two latter countries is costing double
its former value, due to high cost of
coal, labor, ocean freight rates and
insurance.
Europe has furnished fifty per cent
of our supply of rags, while at pres
ent the quantity received is very
small.
All articles that go into the manu-
facture of paper-sucb as dyes, chemi-
Gals, felts, paper machinery and every
other article have increased any
where from $4,000 per cent as COM
pared with prices paid one year ago.
Cost of labor has increased $3.50 per
cent due to all mills having replaced
the two-tour system with three, re-
curing three sets of workmen instead
of two.
Wages of munition factories have
caused many mills to increase their
scale in addition to tae extra cost of
the three-tour system.
Paper has increased in demand 80
per cent, one-half of this increase is
actual consumption due to the present
prosperity, while the other half is
caused by speculative buying.
The foregoing may be considered as
answering the first question-What
causes high prices of paper?
Answer to the second question
When will prices decline?
If the foregoing information is be-
lieved, you will no doubt agree that
prices will decrease only after the
European war is ended. 1t will re-
quire some time for prices to be adj
justed, because the pulp supply cam
not te developed and furnished due
to the fact that there is no supply of
logs from Russia, and trees have not
been cut for year. 1t will take six
months to year before there will be
any satisfactory relief in raw material
pulp. 1t is altogether possible that
paper mills will never be able to go
back to the two-tour or twelve-hour
basis for labor. For these reasons we
do not see how normal prices can be
made again.
The following are comparative fig
ures of the American importation of
sulphite:
1910 o61 ooO fonc
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-08-25

The conclusions are as long as the
the present great war continues prices
upon all classes of paper will be high,
possibly higher than now, and that
there will be no relief to lower prices
for at least six months to year after
the war closes. And until then, due
to the fiuctuating high prices of paper,
the price of printing and books can
not be guaranteed or maintained. Our
customers will, therefore, have to
rely upon our ability to give greatest
values possible at all times, subject to
changes of the market. Regretting
these unfortunate conditions, we re-
main,
Yours very truly,

PAPER FAMINE AND PRICES.

Commenting upon the paper famine
and advance in prices, the Manufac-
turer's Record sums up the situation
as follows:
"The price of paper which has adj
vanced from 100 to 200 per cent or
more over prices prevailing a year
ago, seriously threatens the life of
large number of publications through
out the country and greatly lessons the
price of Others"
"It is doubtful IL any other large in
dustry in the United States has had to
face so serious situation, because
when the prices of raw material have
advanced the manufacturers of the
finished product have advanced their
prices and thus thrown the burden on
the ultimate consumer. In the news
paper business this has not yet been
done. The newspapers, from the
largest dailies to the smallest weeklies,
have been bearing the burden which
to many publications will mean COM
plete destruction and to many others
the wiping out of all profit"
''Had the newspapers of the country
been as prompt to defend their own
interests as they have the interests of
others, they, too, would before this
have undertaken to save themselves
by an advance in subscription price
and advertising rates. Under existing
conditions they will be forced to do
this sooner or later, and they cannot
pospone 1t much longer without
serious financial embarrassment to
many of them. Hundreds of the
smaller weeklies, including the relig.
ious papers, which have had but a
very narrow margin between loss and
profit, will, we fear, suffer most seri-
ously, and many of them disastrously,
unless the public promptly recognizes
the situation and accept an advance
in subscription and in advertising rates
and thus saves the situation"
"The day laborer, the mechanic, the
farmer and nearly ell business inter-
ests, manufacturing and mercantile,
under the activity OF the times are
showing larger earnings than for
years. But the newspapers, as whole,
are meeting more perplexing prob
lem in the doubling, and in some cases
the trebling, OF price of paper, and in
the absolute inability to contract in
advance for supplies, than they have
ever had to face before. The state
ments which have recently appeared
in the daily papers On the subject do
not ct oil exaggerate the seriousness OF
the problem"

This is to notify the people of st.
Joseph and vicinity and especially the
planters, that we have bought the
Tensas Cotton Oh! Mil! properties,
are repairing same and will operate a
weighing, warehouse and storage
business. Planters can harvest grain
and peas, etc, which they will have
for sale, and haul direct from the
fields to our warehouse for storage
until they see fit to sell. This will
eliminate the time and expense of
hauling to your own cribs and then
loading and hauling again when you
wish to sell. Roads are generally at
their best when corn is pulled and at
their worst at marketing time. Our
warehouse is ample and rates for
storage reasonable. For rates see E.
