Omaha Cattle
Compared to last weeks close,
closing prices slaughter steers
and heifers steady with only
negligible day to day variation.
Cows mostly 1.00 lower under
generally narrow demand. Bulls
weak to 50c lower. Feeder cattle
strong to 50c higher.
Four day receipts 16,500 as
compared 12,700 for previous

proximately 39 percent with a
liberal showing Choice and a
moderate volume high Choice
and Prime. Heifers comprised 36
percent. Supply predominantly
Good to average-Choice. Cows 9
percent and feeders 14 percent.
Stability continued to be the key
note of the fed cattle trade for the
sixth successive week. Most
slaughterers entered the week
needing cattle for immediate
slaughter requirements while
carrying a conviction that live
prices should be lowered to effect
an acceptable ratio between live
costs and carcass realizations.
Moderate marketings which
were well distributed over the
trading period, however,
provided a price supporting in
fluence, although buyers were
still often cautious and selective

Cut Federal Spending
Says Public to Stop
Rising Food Prices
A nationwide, independent
survey involving 1,123 per
sonal interviews in 24 metro
politan areas and 11 non
metro counties reveals that
86 per cent favor cutting gov
ernment spending to combat
rising food prices.
Fri.
William J. Kuhfuss, presi
dent of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, an
nounced results of the survey
conducted between March 21
and April 10, near the peak
of consumer reaction to ris
ing food prices. The Federa
tion is the largest general
farm organization in the U.S.
with 2,175,780 member fami
lies in 49 states and Puerto
Rico.
The survey, made by Leo J.
Shapiro & Associates of Chi
cago, was sponsored by the
Federation, Kuhfuss said, to
determine national attitudes
toward farmers and food
prices.
When respondents were
presented with a list of pro
posed actions on food prices,
there was widespread accept
ance (86%) of the idea that
government should cut its
spending, Kuhfuss reported.
This solution was favored by
a higher precentage of peo
ple than any other solution
presented to the respondents.
The percentages favoring
the other 11 solutions were
as follows: limiting profits of
companies producing and
packing food, 80; limiting the
profits of the middleman, 78;
limiting the profits of food
store chains, 74; consumers
cutting food expenditures,
72; consumers boycotting
food stores, 62; larger com
panies resisting union de
mands for higher wages, 61;
cutting demand by prohibit
ing food sales to foreign
countries, 59; cutting govern
ment agricultural subsidies,
59; prohibiting the advertis
ing of meat, 34; limiting the
profits of farmers, 27; and
freezing wages of supermar
ket employees, 22.
