Daily distributive, less than
carlot meat trade:
Compared with Wednesday,
prices generally weak for steer
and heifer beef but small stock
classes fully steady; pork loins
and hams fully $2 higher; other
listed pork cuts steady.
Moderate supplies of fresh
meats fully ample and with
turnover disappointingly slow
from a Wholesaler standpoint.
Sellers feel extra effort will be
needed to clear current receipts.
