Buttars The fact that the price of scrap paper has dropped from $42 to $: ton has given some people the impression that it portends a decrease in the price of paper. A circui sent out by a wholesale house < plains, however, that this impression is due to a misunderstanding as the use made of scrap paper. New paper canot be made from scrap paper. It is used in the manufacture of chip board, oox board, building paper, tar paper, etc., and the decline in the price of scrap paper is due to the fact that board mills, tar paper mills, paper box mills, building *>aper mills, etc., have closed down due to the lack of demand at this time for their products.
