New York
Dressed Meats
Thursday, August 31
Compared with Wednesday,
beef prices weak throughout as
purchasing power falling short in
all channels of outlet. Small stock
classes mostly steady except
spring lamb under pressure.
Pork loins and picnics $2 higher,
butts $1 higher, spareribs and
hams steady.
Outlet for beef generally
narrow with price secondary as
clearance in consumer channels
obviously very poor. Demand for
veal, calf and lamb fair while
price advance for pork influenced
by replacement costs.

measured higher than at the end
of the previous week. Seller
resistance stiffened as a con
sequence of the prolonged
downward trend and local
marketings were quite modest.
The upturns in live prices were
triggered by a moderate price
advance in carcass beef at the
wholesale level and came in the
face of continued liberal cattle
slaughter and the approaching
non-slaughter holiday. Most
plants will be closed on Sep
tember 4th but cattle needed to
meet slaughter requirements for
current period.
