Timber Markets Mixed

Pulpwood markets in the Southeast have been weakened by several factors. First, a recession in the United States and in other countries that trade with the United States, has weakened demand for pulp and paper. Second, continued consolidation in the forest products industry has reduced one of the cornerstones of capitalism-competition.
