Trading was more difficult in the eastern spruce lumber market yesterday. Many orders were transacted but there was less demand felt and seen from clients. Traders struggled to find material to offer and trade with, especially from the mills. Distributors reloads were the mainstay for orders as a lack of supply from the mills deferred attention to them. 2x4 random was one of the more active items, most notably in 16’s. It has been the cheapest length for quite some time, but strong demand recently has made it a premium to the other lengths.
