The strike worsens newsprint shortages and apple shipments with potential losses in the millions and pulp plants idle.

Grim Wheat Outlook Seen by Reuters Reporter
Reuters Financial Editor Sidney Gampsell reports a grim wheat outlook as major exporters Canada and the United States may ship far less next season. Russia’s import needs rise while Argentina and Australia still forecast crops. U.S. USDA estimates a 1.6 billion bushel crop with a 310 million bushel surplus if consumption drops to 690 million. Canada’s season end looms with 340 million shipped, but carryover depletes to around 60.6 million by next July, risking a tighter world supply and Britain seeking corn and other grains if June rains fail.
