Timber markets were generally weaker in the 4th Quarter. Abnormally dry conditions and weak markets kept supply above demand, pushing prices downward on many products.
Wood products markets showed some signs of strengthening this quarter, with Southern pine lumber and Southern plywood prices both increasing. Softwood pulp prices eased upward, while hardwood pulp prices increased 10% this quarter.
