CME FEEDER SETTLEMENT PRICE: Aug.2l, 1989 - $85.17 dn $ .12 NEXT DAY OUTLOOK: CASH PRICES - steady FUTURES - steady Acres Hog Update: Live hog futures settled from unchanged on the June option to 82 higher on the October. Initial support this morning was attributed to the continued discount of futures to cash and improved packer demand. Late commis sion house fund related buying, tied to short-covering, fueled prices further this afternoon. Gains were held in check by midday product weakness and light posi tioning in advance of today's USDA Cold Storage report which showed frozen bellies at 96.426 million pounds. This compares with average pre-report estimates of 96.0 million pounds and was viewed neutral by the trade. October live hogs closed 82 higher this afternoon at $41.47 after trad ing in a range from $40.62 to $41.50. Chester County Hay Coatcsville, PA Wed., Aug. 23 TOTAL LOADS: 6. MIXED HAY: 130.00-150.00.
