ANOTHER RISE IN PAPER PRICES
The Actual Shortage of Music Printing Paper
Is Much More Serious Than the Increased
Prices Charged for It—No Relief in Sight
\\
The music publishers were last week notified
that there would be another advance in the price
of paper which, on the average basis, would
amount to about $2 on a thousand copies of
music. The ascending prices have caused sev-
eral publishers to abandon the cheaper editions
of their publications entirely and the outlook
is that more will be forced to take that step.
Large buyers of paper claim that there will
be no reduction in price as long as the war lasts,
but the fact of the matter is that the publishers
are not worried as much about the advance in
paper prices as by the serious shortage that
has developed. It is predicted that the sort of
paper used for music printing will be prac-
tically unobtainable within the next few months
unless the situation takes a sudden and unex-
pected turn. One of the largest printers in
New York said that he would be compelled to
dole the amount of paper to be allowed on each
order he received after November 1 if the con-
ditions did not improve. Last week a prominent
publisher inquired of six wholesale houses be-
fore he was able to obtain twelve reams of
paper, and then only obtained the paper through
the efforts of his printer.
