Correction to Lumber Report on December 23, 2025

A technical error led to an issue with the December 23, 2025 Random Lengths Lumber Report and associated Western S-P-F prices for Chicago and Atlanta.

Prices for both locations incorrectly published as unchanged from December 18, 2025. The prices have now been corrected in Fastmarkets’ database, and may be found here.

The issue caused the ups and downs for the Western S-P-F delivered prices to Chicago and Atlanta to display as 0s when they should have matched the ups and downs in the mill price column, as well as in the delivered prices comparisons charts. The issue has since been corrected, and the link sent out previously should now take readers to the correct version. We apologize for the inconvenience.

These prices and report are part of the Fastmarkets wood products package.
