| Random Lengths Lumber Market
Report
Trading in framing lumber was mixed. The tone of the market
improved in Canada and the West, but downward pressure was unabated in
the South. Activity Thursday was sparked by a surge in futures ahead
of Friday¡¯s close of the May contract. Wholesaler short covering and
cautious distribution replenishment were key factors. Many prices
firmed, but any gains were generally small. Prevailing weakness in
Southern Pine was a key factor in a $5 drop in the Random Lengths
Framing Lumber Composite Price.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Sales and price trends were mixed in structural panel markets.
With demand picking up and the impact of recent mill curtailments
being felt, prices of OSB posted modest increases in most regions of
North America. Southern Pine plywood prices finished lower, but the
tone of the market was markedly upbeat at the end of the week.
Sizable volumes of rated sheathing traded Thursday, often at sharp
discounts. The tone was mixed in western Fir plywood markets. Uneven
activity befuddled most traders.
