Published prices on corrugated linerboard and medium decreased three times during the first seven months of 2001. Linerboard, which had been selling for
$470-490 per ton at the end of 2000, is now selling for $440-465 per ton. Medium which was selling for $440-465 is now $395-$430. In addition to the published decreases, the industry commonly discounts prices in when
prices are soft. According to Thomas McCoy, President of McCoy corporation, the market is weak, medium is being disounted aggressively and there are prospects for lower prices during the latter months of 2001.The
