Boxes Raise in Price Without Suitable Substitutes
The California raisin packers and fruit growers face higher costs for wooden packing boxes as scarcer timber drives prices up. Paper is not a full substitute due to dampness and strength limits, inflating overall fruit prices and reducing profits. Box costs per carload reach about 100 dollars, and many fruits are affected nationwide. The sugar pine supply has dwindled, pushing mills to use cheaper woods and raising costs across the Pacific slope.
