paper mill supply dealers that there are many peddIers that used to hawk vegetables and other effects now securing the cities and country places for rags, and they have collected con- siderable quantities.
 supply dealers is that there are more rag pickers than before and other families that never picked rage be- fore, now gathering waste material from the dumps.
 Various experiments are reported by dealers to supply the shortage of dyes Some mills are buying all the old coiOred cls-h that they can get, and extracting the dyes. which they theE use again.
 The great change that has taken place in the business of collecting paper material is shown by the fact that scrap paper used to be got for taking 1t away, or at most for Is cents a hundredweight. Now it sells for 35 cents a hundredweight. News paper stock used to sell for 30 cents. and has been as low as 25 cents a hundredweight. It is now 50 cents, having increased 100 per cent in value. Book stock has gone up from 40 cents to 75 cents and $1.00.
 In addition to it's other sins the war really must bear the burden of the whole paper situation, accord ing to many dealers. The original shortage has been aggravated by panic buying, freight congestions, and other things here mentioned, but the main cause is the shutting off of the imported rags. This is substan- tiated by dealers who say that there were easily 5000 tons of rags brtught into this country every week before the war. Now it is doubted if there are fifty tons a week being brought in. and this situ- ation has obtained for the last year or more. The greatest part of the exp.sTts were shut off when the war broke out.
 One of the facts that makes it SC difficult to analyze the paper situa- tion today, is that there are so many different kinds and grades of paper. There are widely different factors en- tering- into the cost of each. grade.
