At several markets slaughter steer prices reacted from early declines to finish steady to 500 higher for the period but at other centers bnly partial recovery was made and levels were steady to 500 lower for the week. Heifers, cows and stocker and feeder classes also sold steady to 500 lower. Barrows and gilts were 504-$1.00 higher at most mid- west terminals and in the Interior Iowa- Southern Minnesota areas were 25-500 higher. Sows were mostly steady to 500 higher. Slaugh- ter lambs, both old-crop and spring lambs sold unevenly steady to $1.00 higher. SLAUGHTER CATTLE AND CALVES Fed cattle prices early in the week were sharply lower and at the lowest levels in more than four years but a steady to higher trend after Monday at the majority of points erased much of the decline suffered on the initial session. A poor distribution of receipts and steady to $1.00 lower wholesale dressed prices were main upsetting factors in the cattle market. Twelve market cattle receipts of 202,000 were down 14,000 from last week and 17,000 under the cor- responding week a year ago. However, approxi- mately 50 percent of the week's entire supply was offered on Monday's session. Trends on slaughter steers were irregular. At most mar- kets prices wound up steady to 500 lower for the week but were steady to 500 higher at Sioux City, St. Paul and Sioux Falls. Other slaugh- ter cattle also steady to 500 lower with Util- ity and Commercial cows showing most decline in that class. Vealers sold steady to $1.00 lower at the St. Paul and St. Louis National Stockyards. Slaughter steers and heifers formed bulk of the receipts with the majority grading Good and Choice. Average weight of slaughter steers continued to run considerably heavier than at this time last year. A feature of the market again was the unusually narrow spread in fed cattle prices with the market on more of a weight than a grade basis and heifers selling as high or higher than steers at some points. At most markets Choice steers bulked at $21.00-22.50 and Good steers sold at $19.50- 21.50. In Chicago loadlots Prime and mixed Choice and Prime 1050-1450,r steers mainly $21.00-24.00, largely $22.00 up late when several loads Prime 1300-1350,i brought $24.25- 24.50. Several loads Choice and low-Prime 850- 950 heifers v23.00-23.50 in Kansas City but at most markets Choice heifers bulked at $21.00- 22.50 with Good largely from $19.50-21.50. Most Utility and Commercial cows $15.00-17.00, Canner and Cutter cows $15.00-16.50, mostly $14.00 up. STOCKER AND FEEDER CATTLE AND CALVES - Receipts of stocker and feeder cattle and calves at terminal markets continued seasonally moderate. Medium and Good grades again made up a relatively large percent of the supplies. Shipments of mixed Good and Choice cattle were in moderate supply but loadlots grading better than low-Choice were scarce. A large percent- age of the offerings were 550-700,/ stock steers with a moderate number feeder steers over 8001. Stock calves were in light supply. Trading at most markets was slow with prices steady to 500 lower. The press of field work kept some potential buyers away from the terminals and was a factor tending to restrict outlet for stockers and feeders. More impor- tant, however, was the bearish influence of a continued downward trend in slaughter cattle prices. Many buyers are very cautious about acquiring feedlot replacements in the face of current fed cattle prices. A few loads Choice 550-600# stock steers sold from '26.00-27.25. At Omaha mixed Good and Choice thin 550# brought $26.75. Bulk Good and Choice 550-700, sold from A21.50- 25.50; Medium and low-Good $19.00-23.50. Good and Choice 800-1050, feeder steers ranged $19.75-25.50, most sales $22.50 down. At Kansas City Choice and Fancy 925,j sold for further feeding at $22.75. These already car- ried sufficient finish to grade Choice in the beef. At Chicago four loads Good 1055d feeders brought $20.00. Good and Choice year- ling heifers cleared from $20.00-24.00, load Good aAd Choice 533,;' 24.75, Good 800,/ $20.00. Few shipments Choice and Fancy 350-430# steer calves brought $29.50-50.00, Good and Choice 424.00-29.00, Medium 3552 Holsteins 620.75. Good and Choice heifer calves sold from $21.50- 27.00. HOGS Terminal Markets Marketings of hogs at 12 terminals totaled 257,000 head or 12 percent under the previous week and smallest for any week since last September. Mixed grade 190-270,1 barrows and gilts again predomi- nated, however, lots of 190-230/t of uniform weight and grade continued scarce at most of the Western Cornbelt markets. Sow marketing continued to expand and this class made up the largest proportion of the supply since last September. Reduced receipts plus a steady to higher pork trade influenced the sharpest ad- vance in live prices since early February. Compared with the previous week's close, bar- rows and gilts finished 504-51.00 higher at most midwest terminals. Sows closed strong to 500 higher, except weights over 400# at 482 St. Louis and weights over 500 i at St. Joseph ranged steady to 251 lower. Shippers were fairly atgressive operators eurinC the entire period. Those interests took about 31 percent of the supply at Omaha. Packer buyers were inclined to proceed rather cautiously durinC the first half of the week but became quite active on Thursday and Friday in order to obtain enough numbers to keep killing gangs in operation. On Friday, U. S. No. 1 and 1-2, 180-240,/ barrows and gilts sold from $17.25-18.25, with 418.00-18.25 prevailing for such offerings at Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis. Mixed U. S. 1-3, and 2-3, 180-250,/ bulked at $17.00- 18.00. U. S. 1-3, 27u-6uj, sows sold at $12.50- 15.00, largely ;13.00-15.00; few U. S. 1-2, 250-300, $15.25. Average cut-out value advantage of U. S. No. 1 over No. 3 live basis 200-220j, barrows and gilts was 880 per cwt. based on wholesale carlot prices of fresh pork cuts at Chicago June 15 to June 21 inclusive. Feeder pig prices were strong at both South St. Paul and Sioux City. Good and Choice, mostly Good, 150-170,, feeders at Sioux City brought 415.50-16.25. Good and Choice 130- 160,/ at South St. Paul sold from $15.50-16.50. HOGS Receipts in the Interior Iowa- Southern Minnesota area at 275,000 head were 7 percent smaller than the previous week, but were 8 percent greater than a year ago. With numbers reduced from a week ago barrows and gilts 180-220,f closed 25-500 higher than the previous Friday, heavier weights 35-500 higher. Sows sold mostly steady, instances 25-500 lower on weights over 400). On Friday, mixed U. S. 1-3 and 2-3 200- 220# barrows and gilts as well as a liberal number of 220-240,/ and few 190-200,% sold from 416.25-16.75, moderate volume No. 1 and 2 grade lots $16.75-17.25, the latter price sparingly. No. 1-3 270-400 sows sold from $13.00-14.75, mainly $15.25-14.35; 400-550# $11.35-15.65, chiefly $11.75-13.25. SHEEP AND LAMBS Salable receipts at 12 terminal markets numbered 66,000, a 12 percent reduction from a week earlier and 4 percent below last year. Spring slaughter lambs predominated in supplies at most all markets. Shipments of shorn old-crop lambs generally carried at least a moderate percent of yearlings. Reduced marketing together with a higher dressed lamb trade influenced an aggressive demand and higher price trend. For the week, spring slaughter lambs were steady to $1.00 higher. Old-crop slaughter lambs and yearlings were mostly steady to 500 higher, but at Sioux City ruled 41.50-2.00 higher. Slaughter ewes sold steady, instances 25-500 higher. Feeder lambs were mainly steady except 500 higher at Sioux City and steady to $1.00 lower at Fort Worth. Choice and Prime 80-1051f spring slaughter lambs on late rounds sold from .l[.50-19.50, few sales 420.00-20.50 at Clicafo. At marT, of the markets Good and Choice spring lambs brought $17.00-19.00 but at Fort Worth sold from $16.00-17.50. Choice 90-111, shorn old- crop slaughter lambs and yearlings, No. 1, 2 and fall shorn pelts, ;14.50-16.00, few 16.50.

Choice 65j Colorado spring feeder lambs at Sioux City brought "17.50; Good and Choice 55-75r/ largely .513.50-16.50 but at Kansas City native feeders $11.50-13.00. Interior Iowa-Southern Minnesota receipts totaled 14,300, head, the same as the pre- vious week but 14 percent larger than a year ago. Aggressive competition developed late when supplies decreased and spring lambs sold 25-$41.00 higher; old-crop lambs and yearlings steady to 500 higher. Slaughter ewes were steady. Spring lambs comprised fully 75 percent of the slaughter lamb supply. On Friday, Choice and Prime 80-100#/ spring slaughter lambs sold from 318.25-19.00 de- livered to packing plants; relatively high- yielding lambs $19.25-19.50 in a few sections; Good and Choice 80-105,/ $17.00-18.50.

Sl 2.50 5.75 2.6200 2.62 12.58 F_ WHOLESALE MEAT TRADE REVIEWS LESS THAN CARLOT MEAT TRADE REVIEWS EASTERN SEABOARD Steer beef sold steady to 50# lower, instances $1.00 off on Prime carcasses at New York, and Choice 700-800# at Washington; cow beef steady to $1.00 lower, bulk 50U off; veal and calf steady to $2.00 lower except New York, steady to $1.00 higher; spring lamb steady to $2.00 higher at New York, otherwise mostly steady to $2.00 lower. Pork loins steady to $4.00 higher, most sales $1.00-2.00 higher; spareribs steady to $3.00 up; Boston butts and fresh skinned hams mostly steady, instances $1.00 lower at Baltimore and Philadelphia. Choice and Prime kosher steer foreauarters at New York closed 50f-$1.00 lower, spring lamb steady, veal and calf steady to $1.00 off. Trading was moderately active with a rather uneven demand along the Eastern Seaboard. Pork moved best at Washington while lamb held the spotlight at New York in view of week long feature of lamb cuts by most major chains in the area. Beef appeared to be the forerunner at other markets but there was some slowness on fore- quarters at Philadelphia. Good outlet for lamb at New York was instrumental at stabilizing prices as chain buyers were active on all sessions and at that market, veal and calf advanced mostly $1.00 on closing sessions under influence of small supplies late. Supplies were normal for the most part, with beef again plentiful in the Phila- delphia-Baltimore sectors, but receipts of veal slightly reduced at some points. Clearance was mostly complete at New York for all classes but some carry-over of beef at Baltimore, and a carry-over of beef hinds, rounds and lamb legs at Washington. CHICAGO Beef sold 504-$1.00 lower, veal steady, spring lamb 504-$1.00 higher, pork loins 8-16# and Boston butts 4-8# steady, spareribs 3# down 500-$1.00 higher. Supplies in the beef division were normal; veal, spring lamb and fresh pork moderate. Most beef fell into the Choice grade, carcasses over 700# liberally represented, spring lamb largely 35-55#, most pork loins in the 8-12# weight bracket. Only a few old crop lamb carcasses were on the market. Rather limited carcass beef trade as the bulk moved from wholesale houses in primal cuts. Trad- ing was active for arm and squarecut beef chucks, loins and ribs under 30# while heavier ribs and particularly rounds were slow. Rounds accumu- lated to burdensome proportions in most coolers, however, some interest developed late in the period for following week delivery. Veal prices went unchanged in a slow trade. Spring lamb trade ruled moderately active, however, advanced replacements accounted primarily for alight rise in prices. Lamb loins and ribs most wanted of primal cuts, legs hardest to sell. Spareribs absorbed readily in all channels, Boston butts clearing satisfactorily for the most part. Pork loins on the draggy side through most of the week. PACIFIC COAST Steer, heifer and cow carcass beef sold steady to 50# lower, some heifer $1.00 lower in the Northwest; veal and calf steady to weak in California but $1.00-4.00 lower in the Northwest. Spring lamb mostly steady. Pork cuts uneven, mostly steady to $2.00 lower, decline mainly on fresh items, except spareribs steady to $2.00 higher and loins steady to $1.00 higher late in week in the Northwest. Supply of beef moderate to large, demand fairly good, trading usually slow except loins and ribs getting brisk action and ad- vancing $1.00-3.00 in California. Loins and hindquarters sold fairly active, steady to $2.00 higher in the Northwest. Supply of veal and calf moderate but ample for the fair de- mand, trading slow. Spring lamb supply abundant, demand moderate, trading slow. Pork supply moderate to liberal, demand fair to poor, trading usually slow.

Spot lots of scoured woolen wools and noils were moved more readily due principally to the shipping strike. Activity in the domestic primary areas was rather dull but wools continued to move at a slower tempo in Texas while occasional lots were turned in some of the territory States. Practi- cally all medium grade wools were out of the growers' hands in the fleece wool States. The markets opened in Brisbane and Mel- bourne, Australia with quotations easier on merino wools while cross-bred and carding wools firmed up at midweek with Japan and Continental buyers dominating. Activity in the South Ameri- can markets was light with occasional scoured second clips selling in Buenos Aires. Turnover in Montevideo was practically at a standstill while the Cape and New Zealand auctions were closed. Fleece Wools Graded Ohio delaine sold around $1.17 clean basis on a core test while graded 64s French combing fleeces moved at $1.09 on a core and medium grade fleeces brought 98# clean basis also on a core test. Country buyers were paying around 435 in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa for the remaining medium grade fleeces while 45-46# was paid in the Minnesota area for small quantities of med- ium wools. Territory Wools Graded 64s good French combing and staple territory wool sold at $1.18 clean basis. RANGE SALES FOLLOW: A good volume of original bag bulk fine wool sold at sealed bid in Wyoming at 340 grease basis and was estimated to cost clean around $1.10 delivered East. Other original bag wools of fine, half and three- eighths moved around $1.05-1.07 clean basis, de- livered East. Texas Wools Good French combing and staple Texas wools in original bags moved in a range around $1.22-1.25 while average to good French combing 12 months brought from $1.18-1.22, clean basis delivered East. The remaining unsold wool in Texas was held in firm hands. Mohair- Trading was very limited on mohair in Boston and in Texas.

Of the total cattle and calves received in these 8 States during the month, more than 128 thousand moved through public stockyards and 211 thousand were received direct. The direct movement was 62 percent of the total this May compared with 58 percent a year earlier. Cattle and calves shipped into these States during January-May 1961 totaled 1, 900 thousand head, up 19 percent from the January-May 1960 total. May shipments of stocker and feeder sheep and lambs into these 8 North Central States amounted to 212 thousand head, compared with 258 thousand head during May last year--a decrease of 18 percent. Of the total received during May, 44 thousand came through public markets and 168 thousand were received direct. A total of 793 thousand head of stocker and feeder sheep and lambs were shipped into these 8 States dur- ing January-May 1961, down 10 percent from the total for January-May 1960.

Sows farrowing during the spring months totaled 7,031,000 head, 4 percent above the spring of 1960. Pigs per litter set a record in the spring of 1961, averaging 7.18 compared with 6.96 a year earlier. Fall farrowings for 1961, based on breeding intention reports, are expected to total 6,017,000 sows, up 2 percent from the 5,882,000 sows farrowing during the fall of 1960. If these fall intentions are carried out and the number of pigs per litter equals the average with an allowance for upward trend, the 1961 fall crop would be 42.5 million head or 3 percent above the 1960 fall crop. The combined spring and fall crop for 1961 would be 93.0 million head, up 5 percent from 1960 and 1 percent above the 10-year average. The June 1, 1961 inventory of hogs 6 months old and older on farms and ranches was 1 percent above the same date last year. This report is based on a survey of 170,000 farms and ranches. The data were obtained largely in cooperation with the Post Office Department through rural mail carriers. Spring Pig Crop up 7 percent The number of pigs saved in the spring of 1961 (December 1960 through May 1961) is esti- mated at 50,456,000 head. This is 7 percent above the 1960 spring pig crop of 47,191,000 head, but 7 percent below the 1950-59 average of 54,515,000 head. Much of the increase occurred in the West North Central region where the 1961 spring pig crop was 11 percent larger than in 1960. The East North Central region had an increase of 6 percent; the Western States, 7 percent; and the South Central region, 1 percept. The spring pig crop decreased 8 percent in the North Atlantic region and 5 percent in the South Atlantic region. The 1961 spring pig crop was below the 1950-59 average in all regions. Sows farrowed in the spring of 1961 totaled 7,031,000 head, 4 percent more than the 6,777,000 head in the spring of 1960 but 12 percent less than the 1950-59 average of 8,016,000 head. The increase of 4 percent over 1960 is the same as shown by breeding intentions last December. The percentages that the 1961 spring sows farrowed were of 1960 compared with the intentions reported last December by regions are as follows: North Atlantic, 92 percent now, 94 percent in December; East North Central, 103 and 102; West North Central, 108 and 109; South Atlantic, 93 and 97; South Central, 97 and 98; and West, 102 and 106 percent. Pigs saved per litter this spring averaged 7.18 compared with 6.96 pigs saved last spring and the 1950-59 average of 6.82 pigs. This is the highest average of record for the spring crop. The December-February quarter accounted for 36.0 percent of the spring farrowings compared with 37.0 percent a year earlier. By months, the percentage of the farrowings this spring com- pared with the spring of 1960 were as follows: 7.2 percent for December 1960 compared with 7.3 in December 1959; 11.1 percent in January 1961 compared with 11.2 percent in January 1960; Feb- ruary, 17.7 percent compared with 18.5; March, 24.3 and 25.2; April, 24.8 and 23.6; and May 14.9 and 14.2 percent. 1961 Fall Intentions Up 2 percent June 1 reports from farmers on breeding intentions indicate that 6,017,000 sows will farrow during June through November of 1961. If these intentions are carried out, fall farrowings in 1961 would be 2 percent greater than 1960 and 11 percent above the 1950-59 average. Virtually all of the expected increase in the number of sows to farrow this fall is accounted for by the Corn Belt. The East North Central region shows an increase of 3 percent and the West North Central 5 percent. All other regions indicate less sows to farrow in the fall of 1961 than a year earlier ranging from a 3 percent decrease in South Central and Western to 7 percent less in the South Atlantic. If the fall farrowing intentions are carried out and the number of pigs per litter equals the average with an allowance for trend, the 1961 fall pig crop will total about 42,500,000 head. This would be 3 percent above 1960 and 14 percent above the 10-year average. The com- bined pig crop for 1961 would be about 92,956,000 head, 5 percent above last year and 1 percent above average. Hogs Over 6 Months June 1 up one percent. The number of hogs over 6 months old (including sows) on farms June 1 was 15,869,000 head, an increase of 1 percent above the 15,733,000 head on hand at the same date last year. Total commercial hog slaughter January through April of this year was 10 percent less than the corre- sponding period of 1960.
