| The holidays pulled more traders away as the week progressed.
But mild weather throughout most of the U.S. and Canada continued to
aid consumption and keep many buyers in the market covering immediate
and early 2012 needs. Many framing lumber prices held or advanced,
with Western S-P-F leading the way. Exceptions to the strengthening
trend were Southern Pine and green Douglas Fir. A snowstorm raking the
Plains did serve a reminder that winter has just begun. กก

Structural panel trading was narrowly mixed as the holidays approached. While
most OSB markets were quiet and prices were unchanged, a few showed more spark.
This was most evident in the Pacific Northwest. Most Southern Pine rated
sheathing prices were unchanged or slightly higher. Sales were most active on
the westside. Favorable weather in key consumption areas continued to be a
driving factor in western Fir plywood, but it couldn't completely counter the
impact of the holidays.
