Southern Comments
FRAMESTOCK, CANTS, TIES, & BOARD ROAD
Upholstered furniture manufacturers acknowledge there has not been a significant seasonal increase in finished goods sales. Business remains slow, and some plants are not running at maximum capacity. Framestock usage is down, too, and supplies are ample. Reported prices are weak but within the Oak and Mixed Species ranges.
While pallet demand is slow, end users are purchasing steady volumes of hardwood cants. Contacts are not optimistic about an immediate uptick in finished goods sales, either. Reported prices are in line with last week.
Solid demand for railroad ties is keeping developing supplies shipped. While total inventories are up, treaters realize production will not likely increase in the coming months and are purchasing all they can from regular vendors. Transactions point out stable prices, allowing the 7x9 crosstie ranges to stand.
Typically, board road business slows during winter months. It appears this year will be no exception. However, production is well aligned to the market’s needs. Information holds the board road listing and range in check.
Appalachian Comments
FRAMESTOCK, CANTS, TIES, & BOARD ROAD
Demand for solid hardwood framestock is weak, including Oak and Mixed Species material. Upholstered furniture factories have more than enough on hand to meet production requirements, which have contracted alongside slow finished goods sales. Oak and Mixed Species prices are little changed from recent weeks.
Sawmill operators report unfavorable market conditions for pallet cants and lumber. Competition for orders has steadily intensified over the past several months. Cant prices are pressured, but previous reductions have the listing and range in order.
Most comments about crosstie markets remain positive. However, some treating operations in the Northern tier of the Appalachian region are reportedly reining in purchases. For now, both Appalachian 7x9 crosstie ranges remain intact.
Board road is moving slowly, with activity confined to a limited number of buyers and sellers. Prices are holding steady at the listing or within the range.
