| Random Lengths Lumber Market
Report
September started out much as August ended, with cautious but
steady trading and mixed price trends in framing lumber markets.
Dealers stuck to fill-in purchases and were finicky about tallies.
Their priority on prompt-shipping loads made distribution yards among
the market¨s busiest participants, forcing them to regularly replace
what they sold. Most producers worked from order files of one to two
weeks. Those who came up with prompt loadings often took discounts to
push them into reluctant buyers¨ hands.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Structural panel trading was moderate to sluggish. Sales of OSB
were muted in most areas following the holiday weekend, although
some deals were put together late in the week. Availability was
tightest in the North Central region. Southern Pine plywood
producers reported better sales than in the previous two weeks after
opening to mild counters. Buyers probed for deeper concessions from
their suppliers, but these were usually turned away. Western Fir
plywood trading was uneven, but the market had decent liquidity as
mills opened to counters on most offerings.
