Abstract

In 1963, Midsouth mills paid an average price of $15.77 per cord for delivered pine bolts. Hardwood bolts sold for $13.10 per cord. The price for pine has increased nearly fivefold since 1937, when the rapid growth of the southern pulp industry began. Hardwood prices have increased some $3.00 per cord since 1947, the earliest year for which data are available.
