A temporary reduction in newsprint capacity that some had anticipated due to the threatened idling of Resolute Forest Products' 330,000 tonnes/yr Baie Comeau, QC, mill will not take place. Resolute set a Sept. 18 deadline to shut the mill over a dispute with the Quebec government about bud worm subsidies, but, instead, sources said the issue was resolved. Weak demand and pricing from over-supply both at home and overseas persisted in North America this month. Lower pricing was again evident as some mills sought to incentivize buyers to lock in orders, but contacts said reductions are uneven — possibly a sign that the floor is already in place for some, while others have yet to reach it.
