Northern Comments

HARD MAPLE

Northern green Hard Maple prices have stabilized over the past three weeks following sharp declines in July. Prices came under downward pressure as higher summertime temperatures forced producers to accept lower bids in order to move lumber before it stained. A new equilibrium appears to have been reached, at least for now. Kiln dried Hard Maple, especially #1C&Btr, is still moving well for producers at fairly steady prices. The 4/4 Fas listings have not changed in more than two months. The #1C and #2A figures have come down a bit in recent weeks yet remain well above prices from a year ago. No adjustments are in order for any kiln dried listings or ranges in this issue.
