There has been some activity in sheathings and undelayments, but not nearly enough for mills to build any kind of order files. Look for print to be flat to down slightly on Friday. Prices on all items are soft. Dimension and decking are both down by solid double digits, while timbers were just moderately off. There is no sign of strength in the immediate near future.
Prompt wood is available almost everywhere and quoted prices are merely approximations.
All prices are negotiable, especially studs, which seem to be about as sloppy as anyone can remember. Most mills tossed prices out with the understanding that it is not a firm price. All this is happening when the production curtailments are just starting to take effect. We need more substantial reductions to prop prices up at this point. Shipments are prompt on almost all items.
