Compared with Wed
nesday; Prices mostly un
changed for fresh meats.
However, price resistance
still prevalent for beef while
lamb under pressure
through poor demand.
Late arriving cars mainly
railstock classes, not
causing too much concern as
wholesalers feel no urgency
in unloading, due to
relatively poor movement of
meats.
