One-Cenf Shortage Causes Uneasines,


One-Cent Shortage Causes Uneasiness
A serious shortage of 1-cent pieces
is confronting the country, according
to information obtained at the sub
treasury in New York. An unprece-
denied increase in their use, with the
warning countries controlling the
copper market by long term con-
tracts, has brought about this con-
.dition.
From the beginning of October un-
til Christmas the big department
lstores which have fractional prices
on their merchandise call for mil
lions of pennies" every week. The
recent advances in foodstuffs have
caused nearly all retail merchants
to sell single articles at an uneven
number of cents, thus creating a de-
mand for pennies where one did
rot exist previously.
In the South and West many de-
Ipartment and cha: IN stores have been
Iopened recently and these have
caused a tremendous demand for l.
cent pieces in a territory where the
5-cent piece had been the smallest
coin in use.
All of these factors have caused
uneasiness at the sub-treasury, where
the usual pre-Christmas demand has
set in. While there are pennies" to
be had, it was said a shortage is ap-
parent and the fear was expressed.
that the usual demands could not be
net.

production and imports, accompanied
by decline In stocks. while there
was only a small tonnage exported, 1t
is evident that there was decided in
crease in consumption during the
first half of 1916.
Increase in Demand.
"An increase in the demand for
news print paper is also indicated by
the fact that the sworn statements
respecting the circulation Of news
papers made to the Post Office De-
partment generally show larger issues
by the leading newspapers. and by
the fact that the number OF pages Of
the larger newspapers have very gen
orally increased on account of large
increases In advertising and news
matter.
"Bcfore the recent price advance,
certain other grades OF paper were
showing higher profits per ton than
news print paper and there was a ten
dency to change from this grade to
other grades. This movement seems
to have been checked for the present
by the high prices Of news print pa
per. Furthermore. 1t is stated that
before the end Of this year four new
machines, two in this country and
TWO i'll Candut, Win an aggregate
daily capacity Of about 100 tons, will
begin operations on news print paper.
Others projected or pending Develop
mcnt will apparently require a some
what longer time to become available.
''It Is not intended in this state
mcnt to make any prediction about
the future course OF news print paper
prices. but merely to indicate some
important facts to those interested in
the buying and selling Of paper in or
der that they may act more adviscdly
in making new contracts. Moreover,
the facts shown here are confined to
matters Of statistical character and

alton. including various trade activi-
tics Of the news print paper manufac-
