Production of paper and paperboard fell 4% and 5% respectively in May 1996, due to high customer inventories and eroding prices in the spring of 1996. Even though markets for some individual products remain chaotic, prices in other market sectors may stabilize in the second half of 1996. Lumber prices were also volatile in the 2nd qtr of 1996, ending with an 11% gain. Most investors should not seek stocks in this industry in 1996.
