Timber Mart-South Update
We have taken the information in the following table from the Timber Mart-South 3 rd quarter (July-Sept) report. This information is very useful for observing trends over the years. However, these figures are averages from the past quarter. General market conditions may have changed since then. Also, timber bids vary from sale to sale for many reasons. If you are considering selling timber, we recommend that you let a consulting forester help you obtain the best price.
Hardwood and pine pulpwood prices were virtually the same as in the previous quarter. Prices in the other product categories, except pine plylogs in Region 2, were lower than they were in the 2 nd quarter. Prices in all categories remained higher than they were in mid-1994.

Reminder: When sharing this price information with others, please include the following cautionary remarks. This information is based on sales in July-Sept, 1995; since then, general market conditions may have changed significantly. Also, prices vary depending on size of tract, access, amount and quality of timber, other stand conditions, and distance to mills. For example, small tracts, particular those in and around urban areas, tend to bring lower prices.
