Uncoated Offset Prices - Increase .... again

Cut size - Paper used for copiers and desk top printers; witnessed yet another price increase in June and one is in the 'air' for September - of $60.00/ton. Supply reductions and somewhat better demand yielded an increase in shipments of 2.5%. To further a tightening in market - Brazil is not exporting as much to USA - neither is Europe.
Weyerhaeuser just announced price increase for Offset and Opaque grades - effective with August shipment - $60.00/ton.
BTW. Strong rumor that either Boise or Domtar will merge with Weyerhaeuser.
Paper.com has all of Weyerhaeuser's paper grades in both rolls and sheets, available and ready for shipment.
