WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Potash Corp of Saskatchewan (POT.TO) is suspending new sales because a flood at major Russian competitor Silvinit could further tighten already tight world supplies, the world's biggest fertilizer company said on Thursday.

"In light of these events, our company has suspended all new potash sales until further notice," Chief Executive Bill Doyle said on a conference call with analysts.
