Comments from stumpage price reporting, southern New England 2nd quarter, 2006

Oak and pine markets have collapsed!
Still frigged up; you should know!
Markets are down
Not good market to sell
Worst stretch of wet weather from last October till now! Tough on mills and loggers. Chain saw cable skidder = REAL logger
Depressing!
No activity; poor market and ground conditions
Lumber markets continue to deteriorate
Things have been low a long time
Hardwood prices not good
