LUMBER: This week we saw mills shift gears and bump up numbers across the board. With really not much time to the building season left as we head into November, mills took a more defensive position. I expect bumps up and down for the rest of the year. PANEL: With some major mill announcements on the OSB side of the market with indefinite curtailments, OSB saw a spike this week in pricing and pushed order files out just a bit. Look for Huber products to follow suit on Monday a

LUMBER: Some small cracks appeared this week with some movement down on 2x4 random. 2x6 is still a bit in demand and held it's value.

PANEL: The panel market stayed firm but with no real movement up or down. Paul Tarca Head of Purchasing Concord Lumber Corporation ptarca@concordlumbercorp.com
