RI EMAND for the finer grades
I'D Of paper increased about s
- per cent in 1925 over 1924,
according to p. H. Clifford, secre-
tary-treasurer OF the c. P. Lesh
Paper Company. This fluctuation
was normal since the demand for the
finer grades Of paper varies only
about 10 per cent over the year.
Summer is the slack season for most
paper companies handling book
papers and the better grades Of
stationery.
Newsprint dropped IS hundred
weight on contract near the first
of the new year. This quotation was
for local supplies only an don con-
tract orders. Book paper has re-
manned stationary over the past
year.
Prices on all lines OF finer mate
rial are expected to remain un-
changed for at least the first half
OF the present year according to
Clifford. Production at the present
time is normal and demand it heavy
enough to absorb the output. No
down trend in wages is anticipated
so that factor Is eliminated from the
field o possibilities in bringing a
general price recession.
f"1 HE last half of the current
year has been unusually fav-
I orable for the distribution Of
paper and paper products, according
to reports to R @. Dun & Company.
Gain In output is placed variously
from 10 to 35 per cent. Both fine
and coarse grades are in excellent
demand. Most factories are operat-
ing at or near capacity, with those
producing English finish book paper,
foundation stock for coating plants
and wallpaper factories especially
well employed. san
There has been many fluctuations
in price in the past six months, but
the market is now quite firm. The
present tendency is toward advance
ment, according to Dun's Review.
Cardboard prices declined during the
summer, but. roofing papers contin-
ued at rather high levels. due to the
building trades activity. The coarser
