Forecast By

MONTREAL (CP) — A pos bilitv of temporary. tight. ne print supply and an increase in demand of 300,000 tons in 1966 was forecast:here in a sur- vey by the Newsprint Associa- tion of Canada.

The survey said the market in the United States and Canada was buoyant in 1965, and it pre- dicted a further increase in 1966,

It said newsprint demand in- creased by 600,000 tons in the U.S. in 1964, and indications are that it will have incréased by a further 400,000 tons this year. It said the increase of 1,000,- 0 tons in two years reflects recovery from the effects @& U.S. newspaper strikes in 1963, “but has also been curtailed by

similar strikes in 1964 and | 1965." The survey shows Canadian

Imports usually rise rapidly during a prosperous period be- cause of vigorous buying by consumers. A commerce de- | partment official said last week | that foreigm trade probably would reach a record high, but that the trade surplus would de cline to about $5,500,000,000 from $6,900 000.000.

For. the first 10 months of the | year, exports were at an annual less than $26. | 000,000,000 while imports were approximately $20,800.000,.000 — indicating a trade surplus of about 5,200,000,000

The. official said exports were expected to increase about $600,000,000 this year compared with an unusually —e gain of $3,200,000,000 in 1

In 1965, the association said. Canadian mills operated at 91.8 per cent of capacity, producing 7,800,000 tons of a_ possible maximum capacity of 8,500,000. |

In 1966, newsprint producticn would rise to 8,000,000 tons, with an increase in total capac- ity, because of new machinery, to 8,750,000 tons.

EXPORTS TO GO UP

The _ association estimated 6,135,000 tons would be exported to the US. this year, an, in- crease of 8.6 per cent; 1,085,000 tons to other countries, a de- crease of 2.3 per cent,’ and 580,- 000° tons ‘would be retained in Canada, an estimated” year-end |inerease of 5.5 per cent:

The survey estimated total world capacity at 19,900,000 ‘tons, indicating mills will have capacity this year, increasing to 90 per cent in 1966.

It estimated only brief per'- ods of peak seasonal demand which could mean a short-term ilightening of supply.
