NEWSPRINT PAPER
PRICE JUMPS TO rs;
RAW MATERIAL HIGH

NEW YORK, July 6.-The price OF
newsprint paper has been raised from
$40 to SIS ton as of July by several
mills The increase apparently was
put into effect without the usual gen.
eraI notice to the trade, and large job
bers today were ignorant of the new
scale and the reason for the rise.
The International Paper company,
replying to an inquiry, said its price
now is SIS ton. Chester w. Lyman,
vice president, said the increase was
due to the growing demand for news
print, compelling the company TO start
up several of its higher cost mills to
meet the emergency.
One prominent selling agent con-
firmed the fact that the small indie
pendent mills under his control were
naming SIS ton for July and August.
The Wood Pulp corporation said all its
contracts were made at $50 and that
it had no present intention of increas-
ing the price.
L. T. Brownell, secretary Of the
American Wood Pulp company, sailed
on the Aquitania to investigate the
pulp situation in Finland and Russia
Present Indications are that the
price of raw material-that is, wood
pulp-will rise" he said. "This will
automatically increase the price of
nawsprint paper"
