THE NEwSPRINT SITUATION.

The prospect of newsprint prices
having reached the maxi um, as
everyone hoped for, has been badly
shattered this week by the announce
ment of the largest newsprint manu-
featuring concern IN the country
that II VIII contract IN 1921 only
for so per cent Of the tonnage con-
tracted for in 1920. The reason
given Is that some of the mills,
which have heretofore been making
newsprint, will run on speciality
paper, for which there is a great de
n.and at this time The result Of
this situation necessarily means, if
il means anything, curtail ent in
the production Of print paper and
a consequent advance In price,
created by what is sure to become
an auction market.
