THE PAPER SHORTAGE
A TRADE FORECAST. GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE. In a recent trade communication it is stated that the paper reports from the various manufacturing centres are almost as bad as they can be, and it is practically impossible to place a line of any size. The few mills that are still open to accept business will do so only on the basis of "market price at time of shipment." Stocks held by the wholesalers are now in very small compass, and this, with the improbability of relief for a very considerable period, has considerably hardened prices. The British and Scandinavian mills are reluctant to take business except at rates very much in excess of late quotations, and even then they are prepared to do so only provided that the utmost latitude is given to them for delivery, advising that they are literally "snowed up" with orders, which will take them fully 12 months to clear.
