AFRICA
After a brief trading period while importersassessed their mid-year stock and forwardposition the log market has become activein Africa China has resumed regular pur-chases from Cameroon Congo Brazzavilleand smaller volumes are also being gath-ered from Equatorial Guinea andDemocratic Republic of CongoDue to the reduced exports of some heavyhardwood from Brazil and other SouthAmerican exporting countries there hasbeen a welcome increase in demand fromEuropean importers for Iroko which hasraised both log and sawn wood pricesSapele is also in good demand and sawnwood output has increased to deal with thehigher level of orders Prices for Sapelelogs are up and firming Sipo sawn woodhas experienced some increase indemand as European importers are nowmore comfortable to rebuild their stocks inpreparation for the expected improveddemand over the second half of 2010Housing starts in Europe have not yetrecovered but there is a better demand forhardwoods from a more active renovationand home improvement sector Asimportersrsquo stocks are low this sector is themain reason for recently improved demandfor tropical hardwoods analysts report
Additionally prices for West and CentralAfrican timbers are still reasonable in com-parison with some American and Europeantemperate hardwoodsExporters are hoping that the governmentof Gabon will review the log export banThe authorities in Gabon have indicatedthat all logs remaining in the port must beremoved Sawmills in this region have strong orderbooks but there has not been any newsindicating that investments will increaseproduction capacities for sawn wood ordownstream products The market failuresexperienced over the past two years havediscouraged investors from diversifyingproductionIn addition the continued uncertainty overthe Gabon situation is not conducive forinvestors to make any long-term expansionplans Uncertainty means that theimporters are unable to assess the futureraw material supplies for their in-countryprocessing industries according to offi-cials

Economist at CMHCrsquos Market AnalysisCentre Multiple starts partially offset themoderationEven though there are record low interest
rates and a vast selection of homes this isinsufficient incentive to draw new buyersinto the market Recently the CanadianReal Estate Association (CREA) down-graded its sales forecast for the rest of theyear The resale housing market has been a
leading driver of Canadarsquos economicrecovery with prices rebounding fromrecessionary lows But the market seemsto have peaked and signs of stress areshowing across the country The drop is happening while mortgage
rates remain at record lows despite warn-ings from economists that they are boundto rise as the Bank of Canada moves itslending rate higher Competition among the banks for new
business along with falling bond yieldshave meant mortgage rates have beenlargely unaffected by any Bank of CanadamovesEven so buyers are reluctant to take the
plunge It is reported that many boughtearlier this year than they had anticipatedto get a lower mortgage rate and avoid theharmonized sales tax in Ontario and BritishColumbia which applies to professionalservices associated with buying a resalehome On the global real estate side Scotiabank
says the demand and prices slipped in thesecond quarter The rebound that liftedproperty values around the world is nowlosing momentum says their Global RealEstate Trends Report Housing demandand prices slipped in the second quarterThe market was sideswiped by moderatingglobal growth volatility in financial marketsand weak job creation ldquoGlobal real estate markets entered 2010

the average cost of a new home increasedby just over 50 percent ldquoOver the same period the average price
of a resale home more than doubledrdquo thereport said ldquoTraditionally the demand andpricing for new homes mirror but with alag trends in the resale market Whenresale housing selection is limited andorprices are increasing sharply buyers aremore likely to consider a new home pur-chaserdquo The reason the report points to ldquoa short-
age of resale listings relative to demand aboom in renovation activity that has addedvalue to the existing stock of housing andrising urban land valuesrdquo ldquoThe divergence in new and resale home
prices is seen in most markets across thecountry but to varying degreesrdquo the reportsaid ldquoThe biggest gap has opened up in British

Appalachian and southern species said No2 and 3 A Red and White Oak is movingwell along with all grades of Ash ldquoI thinkthat the sawmillsrsquo inventory levels inregards to logs have improved in the south-eastrdquo he said ldquoPoplar is the specie that hasbeen influenced the most in our particulararea The premiums paid over and abovethe actual freight charges are comingdown I donrsquot know that theyrsquore going tocome down enough to effect pricing I thinkcertain key species will continue to slideHard and Soft Maple and Cherry are all softright now Thatrsquos not uncommon with thewhitewoods this time of yearrdquoHe said transportation is a heavy issue for
his operation ldquoAs for exporting the oceanfreight rates are so erratic you just donrsquotknow how to plan However domesticfreight rates seem fairly stable for usrdquoMarketing to secondary manufacturers
the source said he doesnrsquot look for improve-ment for several years ldquoOne out of everyeighth person is behind on their mortgagepayments according to a recent report Iread I think wersquore still going to see a lotmore foreclosures The bottom line is thatour market will not recover until housingstarts come backrdquoA source in Virginia which offers Red and
White Oak and Poplar said ldquoGenerally Ithink the market is improved It seems to bestable but I think the advances in pricinghave eased I think everybody is playingcatch up Prices ran up over the last four orfive months and this last month has found aplateaurdquoCompared to six months prior he said
business activity is better ldquoPeople are see-ing profits now that they were not getting inJanuary but wersquore flat from a month agoSo itrsquos better than six months ago but wersquorein a state of change right nowrdquoHe mentioned a suppressed demand com-
bined with increased production as con-tributing factors to the current situationldquoThe general economic mood is not healthyfor purchasing What wersquove seen lately iseverybody is getting up to full capacityrdquo hesaidWhile the contact isnrsquot having difficulty
finding the products he needs he said thefuture of his log inventory is not secureldquoOur lumber inventories compared to a yearago are still down Four years ago we wereinventorying 39 million feet and wersquore cur-rently sitting at about 13 million feet to giveyou an idea of where wersquore atrdquoldquoI think as we head into fall the continued
pressure to have material to saw is going tokeep a firm posture on log pricing We haveadjusted ourselves to a back to basics atti-tuderdquo he said of the companyrsquos adjust-ments to the market conditions ldquoWe haveimproved efficiencies and wersquore learning tolive with less in terms of inventories Wersquove

that exports lumber either has no ordersright now or a lot of the orders are on holdEveryone is competing for the same smallmarkets right nowrdquo he continued ldquoWalnut is the one species that there is not
enough production for the needrdquo the sup-plier said ldquoOur inventories are at an aver-age level but wersquove slowed down our capa-bilities to keep it that way Wersquore not run-ning at 100 percent right now if we werewersquod be overproducedrdquoLooking at the months ahead he said ldquoIf

In Augusta Ga a hardwood supplier saidthe lumber market is soft ldquoIt has been softfrom about the middle of June Wersquore mov-ing lumber right now but therersquos not a lot ofpressure for it At least in our area we arestarting to see some improvements in pro-duction levels at the sawmills I think theconsumers are pushing back a little bit towait and see what happens in regards topricing Theyrsquore not buying out of panic any-more I think theyrsquore starting to feel a littlemore confidence that the lumber will bethererdquo he explainedThe contact which handles all
Appalachian and southern species said No2 and 3 A Red and White Oak is movingwell along with all grades of Ash ldquoI thinkthat the sawmillsrsquo inventory levels inregards to logs have improved in the south-eastrdquo he said ldquoPoplar is the specie that hasbeen influenced the most in our particulararea The premiums paid over and abovethe actual freight charges are comingdown I donrsquot know that theyrsquore going tocome down enough to effect pricing I thinkcertain key species will continue to slideHard and Soft Maple and Cherry are all softright now Thatrsquos not uncommon with thewhitewoods this time of yearrdquoHe said transportation is a heavy issue for
his operation ldquoAs for exporting the oceanfreight rates are so erratic you just donrsquotknow how to plan However domesticfreight rates seem fairly stable for usrdquoMarketing to secondary manufacturers
the source said he doesnrsquot look for improve-ment for several years ldquoOne out of everyeighth person is behind on their mortgagepayments according to a recent report Iread I think wersquore still going to see a lotmore foreclosures The bottom line is thatour market will not recover until housingstarts come backrdquoA source in Virginia which offers Red and
White Oak and Poplar said ldquoGenerally Ithink the market is improved It seems to bestable but I think the advances in pricinghave eased I think everybody is playingcatch up Prices ran up over the last four orfive months and this last month has found aplateaurdquoCompared to six months prior he said
business activity is better ldquoPeople are see-ing profits now that they were not getting inJanuary but wersquore flat from a month agoSo itrsquos better than six months ago but wersquorein a state of change right nowrdquoHe mentioned a suppressed demand com-
bined with increased production as con-tributing factors to the current situationldquoThe general economic mood is not healthyfor purchasing What wersquove seen lately iseverybody is getting up to full capacityrdquo hesaidWhile the contact isnrsquot having difficulty
finding the products he needs he said thefuture of his log inventory is not secureldquoOur lumber inventories compared to a yearago are still down Four years ago we wereinventorying 39 million feet and wersquore cur-rently sitting at about 13 million feet to giveyou an idea of where wersquore atrdquoldquoI think as we head into fall the continued
pressure to have material to saw is going tokeep a firm posture on log pricing We haveadjusted ourselves to a back to basics atti-tuderdquo he said of the companyrsquos adjust-ments to the market conditions ldquoWe haveimproved efficiencies and wersquore learning tolive with less in terms of inventories Wersquove

that exports lumber either has no ordersright now or a lot of the orders are on holdEveryone is competing for the same smallmarkets right nowrdquo he continued ldquoWalnut is the one species that there is not
enough production for the needrdquo the sup-plier said ldquoOur inventories are at an aver-age level but wersquove slowed down our capa-bilities to keep it that way Wersquore not run-ning at 100 percent right now if we werewersquod be overproducedrdquoLooking at the months ahead he said ldquoIf
things continue the way theyrsquore going a lotof the larger companies are going to buildup their inventories which means kiln driedlumber will be offered at a lower pricerdquo

ly been mothballed in his area openingback up the over supply issue is greater ldquoIdonrsquot think demand is much better than itwas last year but there was a lack of sup-ply Now that has caught up with demandand causing prices to increaseldquoI think once the domestic flooring manu-
facturers get their inventories built back upwhich is whatrsquos keeping the domestic mar-ket propped up now I believe prices willtrend back downrdquoAdjusting to the market he said ldquoWersquore
watching our inventories and wersquore moreaware of things that we didnrsquot have to be soaware of in years past For example if the44 Oak market got bad years ago andprices were being discounted you didnrsquotconsider drying all of it because you knewthat market was going to pick back upNow you canrsquot assume that anything isgoing to pick up in the next two monthsrdquoFor the next six months the supplier said

Tight-knot Western Red Cedar out performs vinyl siding year after year Vinyl sell-ers claim that itrsquos low maintenance yet cedar needs the same cleaning as vinylUnlike vinyl if the cable guy cuts a hole a little too big with cedar he simply fills itpaints it and no onersquos the wiser Try painting vinyl or finding caulking that matchgesthe color of the customerrsquos house If the customer should want to change the colorof their home with vinyl someone has to tell them how much more trouble and costpainting is while cedar takes paint and stains like a dream plus cedar can lasttwice as long as the best vinylLazy S Lumber also sells factory-primed cedar siding that saves prep time andspeeds up installation Vinyl does have its uses Tell your clients that cedar offersbuilders high profits less work and long lasting beauty from any angle

the source said he doesnrsquot look for improve-ment for several years ldquoOne out of everyeighth person is behind on their mortgagepayments according to a recent report Iread I think wersquore still going to see a lotmore foreclosures The bottom line is thatour market will not recover until housingstarts come backrdquoA source in Virginia which offers Red and
White Oak and Poplar said ldquoGenerally Ithink the market is improved It seems to bestable but I think the advances in pricinghave eased I think everybody is playingcatch up Prices ran up over the last four orfive months and this last month has found aplateaurdquoCompared to six months prior he said
business activity is better ldquoPeople are see-ing profits now that they were not getting inJanuary but wersquore flat from a month agoSo itrsquos better than six months ago but wersquorein a state of change right nowrdquoHe mentioned a suppressed demand com-
bined with increased production as con-tributing factors to the current situationldquoThe general economic mood is not healthyfor purchasing What wersquove seen lately iseverybody is getting up to full capacityrdquo hesaidWhile the contact isnrsquot having difficulty
finding the products he needs he said thefuture of his log inventory is not secureldquoOur lumber inventories compared to a yearago are still down Four years ago we wereinventorying 39 million feet and wersquore cur-rently sitting at about 13 million feet to giveyou an idea of where wersquore atrdquoldquoI think as we head into fall the continued

SOUTHEAST
In Augusta Ga a hardwood supplier saidthe lumber market is soft ldquoIt has been softfrom about the middle of June Wersquore mov-ing lumber right now but therersquos not a lot ofpressure for it At least in our area we arestarting to see some improvements in pro-duction levels at the sawmills I think theconsumers are pushing back a little bit towait and see what happens in regards topricing Theyrsquore not buying out of panic any-more I think theyrsquore starting to feel a littlemore confidence that the lumber will bethererdquo he explainedThe contact which handles all
Appalachian and southern species said No2 and 3 A Red and White Oak is movingwell along with all grades of Ash ldquoI thinkthat the sawmillsrsquo inventory levels inregards to logs have improved in the south-eastrdquo he said ldquoPoplar is the specie that hasbeen influenced the most in our particulararea The premiums paid over and abovethe actual freight charges are comingdown I donrsquot know that theyrsquore going tocome down enough to effect pricing I thinkcertain key species will continue to slideHard and Soft Maple and Cherry are all softright now Thatrsquos not uncommon with thewhitewoods this time of yearrdquoHe said transportation is a heavy issue for
his operation ldquoAs for exporting the oceanfreight rates are so erratic you just donrsquotknow how to plan However domesticfreight rates seem fairly stable for usrdquoMarketing to secondary manufacturers
the source said he doesnrsquot look for improve-ment for several years ldquoOne out of everyeighth person is behind on their mortgagepayments according to a recent report Iread I think wersquore still going to see a lotmore foreclosures The bottom line is thatour market will not recover until housingstarts come backrdquoA source in Virginia which offers Red and
White Oak and Poplar said ldquoGenerally Ithink the market is improved It seems to bestable but I think the advances in pricinghave eased I think everybody is playingcatch up Prices ran up over the last four orfive months and this last month has found aplateaurdquoCompared to six months prior he said
business activity is better ldquoPeople are see-ing profits now that they were not getting inJanuary but wersquore flat from a month agoSo itrsquos better than six months ago but wersquorein a state of change right nowrdquoHe mentioned a suppressed demand com-
bined with increased production as con-tributing factors to the current situationldquoThe general economic mood is not healthyfor purchasing What wersquove seen lately iseverybody is getting up to full capacityrdquo hesaidWhile the contact isnrsquot having difficulty
finding the products he needs he said thefuture of his log inventory is not secureldquoOur lumber inventories compared to a yearago are still down Four years ago we wereinventorying 39 million feet and wersquore cur-rently sitting at about 13 million feet to giveyou an idea of where wersquore atrdquoldquoI think as we head into fall the continued
pressure to have material to saw is going tokeep a firm posture on log pricing We haveadjusted ourselves to a back to basics atti-tuderdquo he said of the companyrsquos adjust-ments to the market conditions ldquoWe haveimproved efficiencies and wersquore learning tolive with less in terms of inventories Wersquove
retailers That business seems to be softas well We donrsquot sell directly to the exportmarket but we deal with agents and thatmarket seems to be on hold There is justnot a lot of activity in any market right nowItrsquos better than what it was a year ago butworse than what it was two months agoldquoIt seems like everyone that Irsquove talked to
that exports lumber either has no ordersright now or a lot of the orders are on holdEveryone is competing for the same smallmarkets right nowrdquo he continued ldquoWalnut is the one species that there is not
enough production for the needrdquo the sup-plier said ldquoOur inventories are at an aver-age level but wersquove slowed down our capa-bilities to keep it that way Wersquore not run-ning at 100 percent right now if we werewersquod be overproducedrdquoLooking at the months ahead he said ldquoIf
things continue the way theyrsquore going a lotof the larger companies are going to buildup their inventories which means kiln driedlumber will be offered at a lower pricerdquo

had to reduce some of our staff and resizeour organization to the size of the demandthatrsquos out thererdquoHe mentioned that transportation costs
have been relatively decent ldquoItrsquos beenpretty stable for us Domestically we arestarting to see an increase on freight pricesbut thatrsquos very recentrdquoLooking ahead the source is uncertain ldquoI
think the activity level is uncertain Wersquollhold what wersquove got but generally the sup-ply situation is going to keep prices fromdropping I donrsquot think we can out producewhat is generally a good momentum in themarket I think there is a cap for a lot ofreasons upon how much production wecan haverdquoIn North Carolina a Red and White Oak
and Poplar supplier said market conditionsare fair ldquoWithin one specie there are differ-ent things going on with the different thick-nesses and grades Itrsquos certainly been aquieter market these last two monthsrdquoHe also said with mills that had previous-
ly been mothballed in his area openingback up the over supply issue is greater ldquoIdonrsquot think demand is much better than itwas last year but there was a lack of sup-ply Now that has caught up with demandand causing prices to increaseldquoI think once the domestic flooring manu-
facturers get their inventories built back upwhich is whatrsquos keeping the domestic mar-ket propped up now I believe prices willtrend back downrdquoAdjusting to the market he said ldquoWersquore
watching our inventories and wersquore moreaware of things that we didnrsquot have to be soaware of in years past For example if the44 Oak market got bad years ago andprices were being discounted you didnrsquotconsider drying all of it because you knewthat market was going to pick back upNow you canrsquot assume that anything isgoing to pick up in the next two monthsrdquoFor the next six months the supplier said
he doesnrsquot expect demand to be much bet-ter than last year ldquoIt largely depends onsupply If supply continues to gain itrsquosgoing to be a rough next few monthsrdquo hesaid

arenrsquot holding inventory ldquoI donrsquot think any-one is holding much of anything Theyrsquorejust buying day to day as their orders comeinrdquoStocking Poplar Alder Maple Cherry and
Mahogany he isnrsquot having trouble findingthe material he needs ldquoThere are somethings wersquore out of like the thicker Oaksbut I donrsquot think anybody is going to beneeding that for a whilerdquoAs for inventory levels he said ldquoWe are

has assimilated to adjust to market condi-tions he said ldquoWe do some outside saleswith another company We now marketpanel products for them along with ourown hardwood lumberrdquoMarketing to furniture cabinet and mill-
work manufacturers the source is opti-mistic ldquoI donrsquot think things are going todrastically improve but little by little Ibelieve wersquoll see improvementsrdquoIn Oregon a hardwood distributor which

said all species were moving but nothing ismoving particularly well He said supply iscurrently not an issue and inventory levelsare down ldquoPrices are stable but they arestarting to soften The buyers are now inthe position to push back a little bit and geta few dollars on concessionrdquoIn order to adjust to the downturn in the
