(Continued from Pag* A 3) Jones terminated buying interest Further pressure came from ideas that the market had become “lop py" and was due for a technical correction, especially after a steep increase in open interest for back month contracts was released. Higher trending average cash prices provided some support to the front month feeder cattle option, with losses of only 7 points compared to losses in the Feb. live cattle of 67 points. Pre-estimates for this week’s USDA Cattle-on-Feed quarterly report were released as follows: Average Estimate Total Range On Feed 1/01 104.7% 103 - 107% Dec. Placements 87.8% 82 - 94% Dec. Marketings 102.0% 97 106.6%, This appears to be fairly neutral for front months and bullish for back months with the light place ments and active marketings. CME FEEDER CATTLE SET TLEMENT PRICE: 01/18/88 $81.66 up $ .14. ACRES NEXT DAY OUT LOOK; cash - steady futures steady to lower. ACRES HOG UPDATE: Live hog futures settled sharply lower this afternoon with strong selling through out the session attributed to ideas that the complex had been overbought and profit-taking. Midday wholesale was quoted weaker and ideas that cash open ings would be weaker tomorrow activated further sales. The USDA pre-release estimates for the cold storage report came in at 62.5 mil lion pounds which compared to 35.6 million pounds of frozen bell ies on Nov. 30th.
