From recent report by American Forest and Paper Association
The AF&PA reported that USA printing and writing paper shipments went up 9% in January vs. 2009. This is the third consecutive monthly increase when compared to the year before. All paper classifications grew, with coated fee and groundwood - publication having double-digit growth. US purchases (shipments + imports - exports) also went up by +4%, and inventory levels increased 1%, by 9,800 tons from December.

With housing down and a difficult bank environment, glad to hear the paper folks saw some light. Is this sustainable? Truly, I see limited wind in the sails of the current economy, short of the USGov introducing short term stimulus programs.
When will February figures be released? Any estimates (up/down)?
