CAUSES HEAVY
SHORTAGE IN PAPER
MunitiOn Makers Using Rags
for junction and Chem
icals in Large Amounts.
PULP AND JuTE HIT HARD

Paper manufacturers say they have
never been confronted with such un-
usual conditions as prevail in their trade
to-day. For six months the demand for
paper OF all kinds and qualities has
been increasing as the result of PROS
perity throughout the country. Sup
plies for the manufacture of paper have
been greatly decreased because OF the
war. and in some cases almost shut of.
"All general supplies that go into
paper are unusually short" said Leslie
W. May. a member OF the firm Of George
W. Millar & Co.. manufacturers of paper
at :S Lafayette street, yesterday.
There is a shortage of old rags. and
besides the powder people are using rags
In the making OF guncotton. The bulk
of our rags have heretofore been OBJ
tained from the peasant folk OF Europe.
but no raes are being imported.
There was "A time when the old FASH
toned American housewife used to ave
her rags and sell them to the ragman.
but she doesn't do that any more.
There isn't. so much lone dressmak-
ing n but little patching. therefore
she hasn't any rag
Another big drawback to paper maxi
ing liz the lack Of bleachlngs, produced
by sulphuric acid. and Of alum. which
are now being used In the manufacture
Of explosives. Importations OF jute
stock have fallen of until the price has
doubled.
I'VE IA been importing wood pulp
from Canada. Norway and Sweden.
Canada stopped shipping 1t here long
ago and now an embargo has been
placed on shipments from Norway and
Sweden.
Americans are great users of colored
paper We "A depended on Germany
for dyes used In coloring papers and. as
YOU know. dyes have become "A rarity.
This country too t n large consumer
OF imported papers and this supply has
been greatly reduced az the result Of the
war.
Apparently there IL no relief In sight.
Consumption il way beyond the output.
This great demand is a sure reflection
OF activities in all lines OF trade"
