Another Advance in the Price of Paper.

At a meeting of manufacturers of print and book paper, held in Cincinnati on the 23d of October, an advance of one-half cent per pound was made upon all grades of print and book papers. This, added to the advance made on the Ist of October, brings the price of paper up full twenty per cent, above the prices of the past six m nths. It will not be long before consumers who have not prepared for this advance by laying in a stock of paper will begin to feel the effects of the “rise” in the paper market The following circular has just been issued by the manufacturers of fine paper, card-board, etc., and speaks for itself: “The-increased cost in a’l material used in the manufacture of paper makes it necessary for us to advance the price of our goods one-half cent per pound from this date, and if stock advances in price we will feel the necessity of a further advance.”
