The week sees a fairly active but subdued lumber trade with no new features. Southern lumber shows steady demand, arrivals totaling about 2,020,000 feet including pine and some cypress, plus a large rail tie cargo from Wilmington. Rumors of large orders surface, freight rates ease modestly, and steamer space remains scarce. Prices hold across cargo and yard lots for spruce, pine, and hardwoods, with firming notes if demand continues. Maine drives report better water but uneven profit outlook.
