Enough Newsprint
For 1857 Forecast

A House committee report says
Commerce Department figures
indicate there will be adequate
supplies" of newsprint for United
States users in 1857.
In its report filed yesterday
the House Commerce Committee
also forecast IAN upturn in adj
vertising. especially in news
papers" in 1857.
The report said domestic news
print consumption probably will
total about Z million tons. The
available supply should exceed
this by about $4,000 tons. he
said. The committee made no
mention of an announcement
two days ago by Abitibi Power &.
Paper Co.. Ltd, a major Ca
madam producer. that its news
print prices would be boosted 81
a ton March /.
Concerning advertising, the
report said:
During the latter part of 1856,
statistics on newspaper adver-
Using show a leveling off in adj
vertiSing volume. However. it is
expected that during 1857 there
will again be an upturn in ad-
vertiSing, especially in news
papers. in an effort to dispose OF
goods and services resulting from
the continued expansion in in
dustrial capacity generally.
Therefore. competition for
the consumers dollar may likely
be keener in 1857 than in the
past few years"
