North America's second largest newsprint producer, White Birch, told customers it would increase newsprint prices by $60/ton in the fourth quarter.
The hike follows an announcement by newsprint market leader AbitibiBowater last week that it would implement three monthly increases of $20/ton effective Oct. 1.
The new hike is the fourth $60/ton quarterly increase by North American newsprint producers this year.
Trade papers are reporting increased buyer resistance.
