Higher dressed meat prices stimulated demand which exceeded the curtailed marketing at several points. Slaughter steers sold 50#-$1.00 higher for the week at most points. Barrows and gilts sold unevenly 25#41.00 higher. Slaughter lambs closed 25-75# higher over most of the area. SLAUGHTER CATTIE AND CALVES One storm followed another across the nation in the last week of February, leaving deep snow and sub- zero weather to hamper the movement of livestock in many areas. The slaughter holiday Feb- ruary 22 was also a supply curtailing factor even though all markets were open for trading. Salable receipts of 186,585 cattle at the 12 markets were the smallest of 1960 to date. Cattle supplies the corresponding week in 1959 were the smallest for the entire year. Small receipts and higher dressed beef prices touched off a progressive advance in cattle prices. Slaughter steers sold 504-$1.00 higher at most markets with steers over 1500# which have been under pressure recently often showing the full advance, these $1.50 higher in instances. Steers advanced only 25-50# in Sioux City where cattle receipts increased in contrast to the over-all decline in volume. Heifers closed 254-$1.00 higher, a few sales $1.25 high- er in St. Joseph but some only steady in Chi- cago and Sioux City. Cows sold strong to $1.00 higher with sales 500-$1.00 up at sev- eral points; bulls steady to 500 higher. At many major markets bulk of the steer supply graded Good and low-Choice. Choice and Prime formed a smaller percent of the Chicago steer supply where the 55 percent Choice was small- est for any week since last May. Weight was less of a price determining factor in the steer trade as packers sought numbers for minimum slaughter requirements. At Chicago most Prime 1100-1400# slaugh- ter steers brought $29.25-50.00; load 1284# $30.50; mixed Choice and Prime $28.50-29.25; bulk Choice $25.75-28.25, largely $26.25-28.25 late; most Good $23.00-26.50. High-Choice and Prime steers at other midwest markets realized $27.50-28.50, few sales to $28.75 at Sioux City and So. St. Paul and small lots to $29.00 at Indianapolis; most Choice $25.00-27.50; Good $25.00-25.50; Standard and low-Good $19.50- 25.00. Choice and Prime slaughter heifers sold at $27.75-28.25 at Chicago with Choice bulking $25.75-27.50 and Good $22.00-25.50. Elsewhere, high-Choice heifers including few Prime large- ly $27.00, few to $27.50; bulk Choice $25.50- 26.50; Good and Choice $22.00-25.50. Utility and Commercial cows $15,00-17.50, Canners and Cutters $15.00-16.50. STOCKER AND FEEDER CATTLE AND CALVES - Storm conditions over much of the area not only tended to curtail late February market- ings, but also created additional problems in handling any stocker and feeder cattle and calves purchased during the week. However, despite more than average late winter dif- ficulties in handling livestock, demand proved more than adequate to absorb seasonally light to moderate numbers at the various ter- minals. In fairly active trading, prices generally were steady to strong with some sales 500 higher. Most aggressive demand continued to center on well bred stock cat- tle that could be readied for the start of a new grazing season. However, feeder buyers also continued to show considerable interest in feedlot replacements, particularly Good and Choice grades carrying sufficient flesh to insure a relatively short term in drylot. Weight continued as an important price deter- mining factor as feeders weighing 750-850# generally sold well above the same grades in a 950-1000# range. Few loads Choice yearling stock steers brought $29.00-50.75, including load 620# at $30.75. Other Good and Choice yearlings ranged $24.00-28,85, Medium and low-Good $21.00-25.00. Good and Choice 800-1050# feeder steers sold from $22.50-26.00, few Choice 800-850# up to $26.50. Good and Choice yearling heifers brought $21.50-26.00. Fleshy heifers 650# up seldom exceeded $25.00 but Choice 525# reached $26.50. Majority Good and Choice steer calves sold from $26.00-52.00, few up to $55.40. Good and Choice heifer calves brought $24.00-29.50. Few Medium and Good stock cows sold from $15.00-18.50. HOGS Terminal Markets Despite in- clement weather over much of the midwest area and the non-slaughtering holiday on Monday, receipts at the twelve terminals were only 2 percent smaller than the previous week. How- ever, supplies were 14 percent under the same week a year ago. Consignments of mixed U.S.No. 1-5 and No. 2-5, 190-250# butchers predominated in the supply. Prices fluctuated considerably throughout the area during the week. Substan- tial upturns were recorded on reduced supplies Monday but much of this advance was erased on increased marketing Tuesday. Strength developed later and the week was climaxed by a broad demand and sharply higher prices on Friday that were influenced by advances in wholesale pork prices. Compared with the previous weeks close, barrows and gilts were 163 unevenly 25#-$1.00 higher, some $1.25 higher at Indianapolis but sales were strong to 500 up at Omaha. Sows sold strong to $1.00 higher, mainly 50-750 up, At the close mixed U. S. No. 1-3 and No. 2-3, 180-250# barrows and gilts, including weights to 280# in the eastern Corn Belt, bulked at $14.25-14.75. Selected lots of No. 1 and No. 1-2, generally weighing 190-250# $14.75-15.00, few $15.25 and 20 head $15.50 at Omaha. Mixed No. 1-3, 270-550# sows bulked late at $12.00-13.25. Feeder pig prices advanced 50#-$1.00 at Sioux City and So. St. Paul. Good and Choice 100-160#, mainly 130-160# feeder pigs at So. St. Paul brought $11.50-12.50 while at Sioux City Medium and Good 150-160# offerings sold at $11.00-12.00, few Good $12.50. HOGS Interior Iowa-Southern Minnesota Area Receipts of hogs increased somewhat from the small movement of the preceding week but supplies were again somewhat smaller than a year earlier. A smaller than normal carry- over of hogs from the previous week-end along with higher wholesale fresh pork prices were factors stimulating demand, and supplies on most days were well within the limits of buying orders. As a result, prices generally advanced and Friday's sales of butchers were 40-75# higher than a week earlier. Sows were 35-50# higher, instances 75# up on weights over 450#. U. S. No. 1-3, 190-240# butchers sold on Friday from $13.20-14.00 with a lim- ited volume of No. 1 and 2 offerings at $14.00-14.50. Mixed No. 1-3 270-400# sows brought $11.50-12.65, 400-550# mostly $10.25- 11.50. SHEEP AND LAMBS Receipts at the 12 mar- kets were 9 percent less than the previous week and around 20 percent smaller than the corresponding period last year. Adverse weath- er was a factor curtailing the supply. Higher dressed lamb carcass prices tended to stimu- late demand in the live market and prices advanced. Closing sales on slaughter lambs were generally 25-75# higher for the week ex- cept 504-$1.50 higher at Omaha where sub- stantial downturns were recorded in the pre- vious week. Slaughter ewes sold steady to 500 higher, instances 75# up; feeder lambs steady to 500 higher. Good and Choice 90-115# wooled slaugh- ter lambs brought $19.75-21.50. Mostly Choice wooled lambs usually 80-105# realized $21.00- 21.75 and several loads at Chicago reached $22.00. Good and Choice 85-110# slaughter lambs with No. 1 and fall shorn pelts sold from $19.00-20.50 with some mostly Choice $20,00-21.00. The small supply of Cull to Choice slaughter ewes brought $3.00-6.50 with a few Choice ewes to $7.50 and to $8.50 at Chicago. Most Good and Choice 75-84# wooled feeder lambs sold at $19.75-20.75 and a part deck reached $21.00 at Sioux Falls. A few mainly Good feeder lambs sold down to $19.00 and this price also included a few lots of Good and Choice fall shorn feeders. Three loads Good and Choice 85-91# shearing lambs sold for $20.00 at Omaha. In the Interior Iowa-So. Minnesota area, slaughter lambs closed fully 500 higher, in- stances $1.00 up. Most Good and Choice 90- 105# wooled slaughter lambs delivered to packing plants sold at $20.00-21.00 on late rounds, with loads and lots mostly Choice at $20.75-21.25 and Choice lambs reached $21.50 in parts of southern Minnesota.

Prices on all classes of wool were weak. Trade in woolen wools and noils was limited as prices held about steady. Ac- tivity in the territory States and in Texas was very dull with some shearing in various parts of the Rocky Mountain areas. Shearing is expected to commence in Texas around March 1. Shearing in most of the fleece wool States has been held back by adverse weather conditions. Midweek cables from the Dominion mar- kets showed Australian prices uneven with China, Japan and Eastern Europe competing under general competition. Prices were declining at the New Zealand auctions with Continental buyers the chief operators and Bradford buying moderately. Large French houses dominated in South Africa with Japan and the Continent showing good compe- tition with prices slightly easier. The South American markets were slow with prices about 10 lower for the week. Fleece Wools Graded 56/58s staple and good French combing fleece wool sold at $1.05 clean basis for June delivery. Small quantities of medium grade fleece wools sold in the country around 50# grease basis to the growers. Territory Wbols Trade in territory wools was very slow. Texas Wools Good 12 months Texas wool in original bags was estimated around $1.20 clean basis, while average style wools were estimated around $1.17-1.18 clean basis, delivered Boston. Mohair Practically all mohair shear- ing in Texas was curtailed due to very cold weather. Sales of mohair were restricted. Foreign bWols Prices at all foreign wool markets continued rather weak. Comb- ing wools converted to clean U. S. oil- combed yields and short wools to scouring yields in bond, as follows: Australia Oil-combed 61B - 62B - 65B - 77B - 78B - 79B - 422 - 423 - 424 - $1.17 1.12 1.07 1.16 1.11 1.05 1.07 1.04 .97 New Zealand Oil-combed 93 $.87 834 .85 100 .85 107 .82 114 .81 128 .81 South Africa Oil-combed Scoured Yields 7 $1.10 22 $1.01 12 1.07 27 1.00 17 1.06 32 .97 47 1.07 48 1.05 52 1.04 53 1.01 Carpet Wools Trade in carpet wools continued slow.

Sup- plies of railstocks at New York were curtailed in addition to a normal cut-back, created through suspension of operations for the holi- day, and the larger reduction affecting steer beef, but pork receipts moderate. Supplies of beef, lamb and veal were below normal at Philadelphia, and pork limited, while above normal volume of steer beef was on offer at Washington where some beef loins were carried over. Receipts at other markets were about normal. Outlet was fairly well balanced for carcasses and cuts of all classes, and virtu- ally all interests were active at wholesale markets this week. The greater portion cow beef, lamb and pork loins sold higher at East- ern Seaboard markets, and the general market tone for all meats indicated strength at the close as sellers attempted to maintain an upward swing in line with similar action for replacements. Compared with the previous week: Steer beef sold steady to $1.50 higher, with some advance recorded at all markets, and the full upturn on Choice at New York. Cow beef prices advanced 50#-$2.00; veal sold steady to $3.00 higher, bulk sales strong to mostly $1.00 high- er, and prices for calf at New York held strong to $1.00 higher. Lamb prices were mostly $1.00-2.00 higher at the close, few early sales at Baltimore steady. The close for pork loins indicated upturns of $1.00-4.00, the bulk late $2.00-4.00 up. The trend for other pork cuts was steady to $2.00 higher. Kosher dressed steer beef sold fully $2.00-3.00 higher; kosher lamb around $3.00 up, while prices for kosher veal and calf were fully steady to strong. CHICAGO Fresh meat supplies were re- duced this week due mainly to suspended slaugh- tering activity in most plants on Monday. Beef and lamb offerings mostly moderate, veal and fresh pork rather small. Upturns were recorded all fresh meats except veal which held steady. Higher trends on livestock and reduced receipts at major terminals proved bullish in the dressed trade. Demand for carcass beef was moderate as bulk of this division sold as pri- mal cuts. Outlet was good for arm and square- cut chucks, loins and ribs with upturns of $2.00-4o00 recorded on loins. Rounds were somewhat draggy but cleared mostly at steady rates. Veal trade continued dull, prices little changed here in the past month. Lamb generally moderately active, prices advancing for third consecutive week, current levels highest in four months. Fresh pork cuts moved well, particularly loins which sold higher than any- time since early November 1959. Compared to the previous Friday: Steer and heifer beef 504-$1.50, mostly $1.00-1.50 higher with Choice 700-900# steer and Good steer carcasses at the full advance; cow beef $1.00-1.50 higher; veal unchanged; lamb $1.50-2.00 higher; pork loins 8-16# $1.00- 2.00 up; Boston butts 4-8# steady; spare- ribs 5# and down steady to 50# higher. PACIFIC COAST Steer beef supplies were moderate for a rather slow movement, however, Choice under 600# still limited in Los Angeles. Cow beef volume was moderate to small with trading fairly active. Calf carcasses under 200# were limited, but 200-300# offerings were fully adequate for a fair demand. Lamb was moderate to small with Choice the most limited. Fresh pork loins were somewhat limited, other fresh and cured pork cuts were fully adequate for a rather slow trade. Prices compared with the previous week' s close: Steer and cow beef mostly steady, in- stances $1.00 higher; calf and veal mostly steady; lamb steady to $2.00 higher; fresh pork loins $2.00-3.00 higher; other fresh pork steady to $2.00 higher; smoked meats and lard mostly steady except for smoked skinned hams $1.00-2.00 higher at Los Angeles. CARLOT NEAT TRADE REVIEWS Supplies were below normal at most car- lot meat trading centers due largely to the non-slaughtering holiday Monday February 22. Trading was rather slow at most points early in the week but became active when outlet broadened Wednesday and substantial price upturns were recorded for the week. At New York Choice steer carcasses weighing below 700# sold strong to 500 higher with 700-900# carcasses 75#-$1.50 up and Good carcasses all weights advanced $1.00- 1.50. At Chicago steer and heifer beef closed 50f-$1.50 higher, largely $1.00-1.50 up with the full advance on Good steer beef. Most steer beef sold $1.00-1.50 higher at Omaha, instances $2.00 up on Good while most heifer beef advanced 50#. At Denver steer beef sold 504-$2.00 higher with the greatest advance on carcasses 800# and up; heifer beef there closed steady to 50f higher. Choice steer beef sold $1.00 higher at Philadelphia with Good $1.50-2.00 higher. Cow beef sold 50#-$1.50 higher. Lamb carcasses closed 500- $2.00 higher with a large share $1.00-2.00 up. Pork loins closed $1.00-2.00 higher at Chicago, $2.00-3.00 higher at Omaha and $5.50- 4.00 up at Philadelphia. 173 OLESALE DRESSED MEAT PRICES LESS THAN CARLOT BASIS Weekly average of daily quotations in dollars per 100 pounds ~~~-~~~--~--------~-~----------~------------------------------ New York Chicago San Francisco Los Angeles Classification : : Feb.27 :Feb.28 : Feb.27 : Feb.28 : Feb.27 : Feb.28 Feb.27 T Feb.28 : 1960 : 1959 : 1960 : 1959 : 1960 : 1959 : 1960 t 1959 Steer beef - Prime Choice Good Heifer beef - Choice Good Veal - Prime Choice Good 700-800# 600-700 700-800 500-600 600-700 500-600# 600-700 500-600 90-120# 90-120 90-120 Lamb - Prime 45-55# Choice 45-55 Fresh pork - Loins 8-142 Butts 4-8 Spareribs 3# down Cured pork - Hams, snk. skd. -(Cook before eating) 12-16# Bacon, smoked, sliced - 1# package (box lots) Picnics, smoked (Cook before eating) 4-8# Lard, 1# carton 48.00 46.75 45.25 43.44 43.94 64.20 53.50 48.00 49.75 47.75 46.56 44.50 45.00 64.00 54.00 51.00 44.00 42.75 43.00 41.19 43.75 33.50 39.00 42.12 35.50 41.00 45.25 43.58 41.58 41.58 44.33 43.75 40.67 58.50 53.50 50.00 46.17 44.33 42.67 42.67 57.50 51.67 49.67 -- 39.85 42.08 38.67 40.17 29.50 35.50 39.67 31.75 36.50 44.00 42.17 43.50 41.50 43.50 42.50 55.00 m-- 44.50 42.50 44.50 45.00 -- 43.25 41.25 42.00 40.00 42.83 41.33 41.00 45.75 42.25 43.00 41.00 57.00 -- 43.00 40.67 44.00 40.50 43.00 40.67 45.00 36.00 41.00 44.00 40.00 45.00 42.50 34.50 38.83 40.83 36.67 39.33 41.00 47.50 47.50 52.00 50.00 54.00 46.17 49.50 37.50 45.00 43.00 48.25 43.00 49.00 43.00 50.00 29.50 32.25 32.00 35.00 30.00 33.50 30.00 36.00 11.88 14.25 12.00 13.50 15.50 17.00 14.25 15.25 BULK PRICES CABLOT BASIS WEEK ENDED FEB. 26, 1960 rPie +- : Frlcces~Wde-1vri q Classification Pie --a Fcao-e -I -w-rk T l d- -1 -- -....: -ever : ---- --w- r --ipra Steer beef - Choice Good Heifer beef - Choice 500-600# 600-700 Good 500-600 600-700 Cow beef All weights - Utility Canner and Cutter Choice Fresh pork - Loins 43.50-44.50 42.50-43.50 41.00-42.00 40.00-41.00 40.00-41.00 39.50-40.50 43.00-43.50 42.00-43.00 39.00-39.50 39.00-39.50 30.50-31.50 31.50-32.00 42.00-42.50 41.00-42.00 39.00-40.00 42.50-43.50 41.50-42.00 40.50-41.00 41.25 41.75-43.50 41.00-41.50 38.00-40.75 30.50-31.00 39.50 37.00-38.50 35.50-37.50 8-12# 38.50-39.00 43.25-43.75 42.25 40.50-40.75 39.50-40.25 39.25-40.00 42.00-42.50 41.50 38.00-38.50 38.00 29.50-30.50 30.50-31.00 m-- 40.25-41.75 38.75-39.25 37.25 38.50-39.00 46.00-46.50 44.50-45.25 43.00-43.50 43.00-43.50 42.50-43.50 42.00-43.00 46.00-46.50 44.50-45.00 42.50-43.00 42.00-43.50 41.00-43.00 44.50-46.00 32.50-33.50 33.00-34.00 43.00-45.00 41.50-42.50 39.50-42.00 42.00-43.00 41.00-42.00 39.50-41.00 40.00-41.50 39.50-41.00 -------------- 600-700# 700-800 800-900 500-600 600-700 700-800 Lamb - Prime 55-45# 45-55 55-65 35-45 45-55 55-65 174 MOHAIR PRODUCTION AND VALUE 1959 Mohair production in the 7 leading according to the Crop Reporting Board. the 20,855,000 pounds produced in 1958 average of 14,883,000 pounds. States in 1959 totaled 24,180,000 pounds, The 1959 clip was 16 percent larger than mnd 62 percent larger than the 10-year Texas, the leading mohair producing State, accounted for most of the increase. The increase in mohair in Texas and Missouri resulted from clipping a larger number of goats and a higher average weight of hair per goat clipped. Production in New Mexico and Arizona was slightly higher than a year earlier, due to a small increase in average weight of hair clipped per goat. Mohair production in Utah was above a year earlier due to a larger number of goats clipped. In Oregon and California it was below a year earlier due to a slight reduction in number of goats clipped. The number of goats and kids clipped in the 7 principal States in 1959 was 3,776,000 head--up 10 percent from the 3,437,000 head clipped in 1958. The average weight of hair per goat and kid clipped was 6.4 pounds--the highest of record and compares with 6.1 pounds in 1958 and the 10-year average of 5.4 pounds. Value of mohair produced in 1959 amounted to $22,859,000--an increase of 52 percent from 1958. The average price received by growers for mohair from April 1959 through January 1960 was 94.5 cents. The average price received for mohair in 1958 was 72.1 cents per pound and the 10-year average was 79.2 cents.

For each State the average price is a weighted average for all mohair sold during the marketing season April 1958 through March 1959. The U. S. average price is computed by weighting State prices by production of mohair. The U. S. average price weighted by sales in the 1958 marketing year was 72.3 cents. For each State the average price is a weighted average for mohair sold Apnl 1959 through January 1960. The U. S. average price is computed by weighting State prices by production of mohair. 175 WOOL PRODUCTION AND VALUE, 1959 Wool production, shorn and pulled totaled 292 million pounds grease basis in 1959, according to the Crop Reporting Board.
