THE PAPER SITUATION.

The situation in news print paper as we'll as all
other kinds of paper, grows more acute every day,
and where it is going to end, no one knows. Papers
both daily and weekly are suspending and consol-
dating all over the country. The Birmingham
Ledger, has just suspended, and its obligations
taken over by the News. New York papers have
greatly reduced their size, as well as other metro
politan papers. The Chicago Tribune advises its
readers to borrow instead of buy the Tribune. The
Birmingham News announces that it will take no
more advertisements larger than a half page, and
all it's regular advertising patrons will be requir-
ed to take just half the space they have been TAX
ing. Weekly papers throughout the country,
which raised their subscription prices from Sl.OO
to $3.50 about a year ago, are now advancing the
price to So a year in self defense, in order to keep
going.
This gives an idea of the conditions so far as
printing a paper is concerned. But this is not all.
Paper used for all kinds of printing has been con-
stantly advancing ever since the war, and before.
