| Random Lengths Lumber Market
Report
Most buyers took a cautious approach to trading, noting mixed signals
across the various framing lumber species. Strength in Western S-P-F
was largely derived from producers¨ offshore accounts, which allowed
them to limit their offerings to the U.S. and avoid paying the 10%
export tax. Southern Pine stood out for its widespread weakness, which
some traders pinned on persistent wet weather, particularly in the
Southeast. All told, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite
slipped for the second straight week.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Positive housing starts news Friday belied the lackluster demand
that permeated the OSB market. Producers in most regions took on a
more aggressive stance to pull buyers off the sidelines, and prices
fell to new lows for the year in several regions. A ho-hum week of
sales left most Southern Pine plywood prices unchanged and left
traders divided over the market¨s near-term course. Western
plywood trading was on the quieter side, with mills reporting busy
days interspersed with dead periods through the week. Weakness in
the OSB market kept buyers in a cautious posture, but quotes for
fall jobs continued to circulate.
