In a continuing move by market pulp
producers to protect prices, Bowater Inc. announced that it will curtail
production of market pulp during the first quarter of 2001 by 30,000 metric
tons, or approximately 12% of quarterly production capacity, to adjust
inventories.

producers to bring supply and demand back into balance. With plans by many pulp
producers to push pulp prices higher this year the goal of many producers is to
eliminate excess capacity.
