Daily distributive - less than
carlot meat trade:
Compared with Wednesday:
Fresh meat wholesalers
struggling to affect clearance of
beef, lamb and pork as
movement out of sales coolers is
disappointingly slow." Retail,
buyers only acquiring token
tonnage while H & R supply
houses working on day to day
orders and carrying no
significant inventory. Advance
carlot purchases for next week’s
arrival reportedly no better than
needed for two days business.
