are rather quiet, though there is some talk
of stock for future delivery. The demand
for Northern frame and dimension lumber
is fair. Wee quote as follows: Rough hemlock
boards sell at $1,000 to $1,000 and planed dc
at $500; the best clear spruce floor boards
at $500 to $3.50, coarse at $1,000 to $500
