Paper Shortage and Cost Serious.

New York,@Still further increases
in the cost of paper threaten the
newspapers of the country, according
to S. S. Carvalho. publisher of the
New York Sun.
More than 5,00o,OO0 cords of pulp
wood are consumed annually in the
United States in the manufacture Of
print paper. The demand is incres-
ing steadily, while the supply is de-
creasing.
The increased cost Of coal is a
contributory cause of high paper
prices, a ton of coal being required
to turn out one ton of paper.
Newspaper has advanced since the
war from $4,000 a ton to $4,000
per ton, and some papers are still
struggling along with only slight in
crease in advertising rates which will
ultimately mean bankruptcy.
At present newspapers are said to
be using 20 percent more paper than
is being manufactured, and the re-
sultipg shortage may cause suspen-
sion of some papers during the next
three months. due to inability to OBJ
tain print paper.
