Solid carryover from last week’s more active
finish extended order files and lifted framing
lumber prices — some sharply. Many traders noted
their most active week of early 2016; they
covered near-term needs, and mills extended
order files into mid- to late February. But some
buyers held back, based on adequate inventories
or on a sense of caution about the market’s
near-term course. Even so, the Random Lengths
Framing Lumber Composite Price rose $4, to $309.
