The forest product and paper industries are facing difficult market conditions in the late 1990s and lumber and several major paper grade prices have declined in 1998 from 10% to as much as 30%. The elimination of excess supply and capacity is a major problem for the industry, but the trend toward consolidation may alleviate the situation. These stocks are expected to lag or mirror the market in 1999.
