The consuming public is so used to receiving the information that every kind of raw material has been advanced in price by those who control the supply. that buyers of printing will not be great- ly surprised to learn that nearly all kinds of paper have been advanced in price from eight to ten per cent. One week printers receive notice that wood pulp boards have gone up; another week that all book papers have ad- vanced; then comes notification that coated or enamelled papers have been raised in price; that cardboard stock is on the incline, and that print paper is to be elevated a notch. This demand for advanced prices in the cost of paper must necessarily fall upon the con- sumer at large, for the printer has al- ready all the burdens 'he can possibly in the general advance of labor therefore, reasonably look for an in- creased cost in all kinds of printed mat- ter; and the duplication of orders at former prices is scarcely to be expected t& continue.--Montreal Gazette.
