United States Exports of Livestock, December 1959 j LeS1-WA1 102 Price trends on slaughter cattle were rather uneven at midwest markets while hogs and sheep sold generally higher. At Chicago, Choice and Prime slaughter steers under 1550# closed steady to 500 higher for the week, other steers steady to 50# lower. Elsewhere in the midwest the general trend was steady to 500 higher, however, at some points Stand- ard and Good steers closed steady to 500 lower. Barrows and gilts advanced late to close steady to 50# higher at most terminals. How- ever, sales were steady to weak in the In- terior Iowa-So. Minnesota direct buying area. Slaughter lambs sold steady to $1.25 higher, largely 25-50# up. SLAUGHTER CATTLE AND CALVES Cattle marketing decreased for the third week in a row and excepting holiday weeks, receipts at the 12 markets were smallest since June last year. However, supplies were only 5 percent less than in the previous week. Receipts included a larger proportion of slaughter steers and a smaller percentage of heifers and cows. Also, the average weight of steers increased at several markets, reaching 1180# in Chicago or just 1# short of the heaviest for any week in nearly a year. The further decrease in cattle supplies was the result of the previous week's price decline and soft roads in many parts of the midwest. In this connection, cattle are coming to market un- usually muddy for this time of year, a result of the warm, wet winter. Largely owing to the further decrease in receipts, the re- cent steer and heifer price decline ended on the majority of weights and grades. Never- theless, the trend was again uneven with demand centering on cattle eligible to pro- duce a carcass grading Good to Prime and weighing 700# or less, while outlet was again poor for steers over 1500#, particularly Stand- ard and Good offerings. In Chicago, Choice and Prime steers up to 1350# sold steady to 50# higher, all others steady to 500 lower. Steer prices were steady to fully 500 higher at most other markets except at one or two points where Standard to average-Good offer- ings sold steady to 500 lower. Average-Good to Prime heifers sold strong to 50# higher, other grades steady to 500 lower. At most markets Canner and Cutter cows closed steady to 50# higher but Utility to Standard sold steady to 500 lower. However, at Omaha cow prices were 50O-$1.00 lower, while the trend was 50-750 higher at Oklahoma City. Bulls sold weak to $1.00 lower; vealers barely steady. At Chicago, 2 loads Prime 1237# and 15309# slaughter steers cashed at $29.00; 50 loads mostly Prime 1045-1550# $28.50-28.75; majority high-Choice and mixed Choice and Prime 1150-1400# $26.75-28.25; Choice 1050- 1550# $25.00-27.50, 1400-1500# $24.00-25.50; Good $22.50-25.50. Elsewhere high-Choice and Prime 1050-1275# fed steers realized $27.25-28.00, load 1174# $28.25 at Sioux City; bulk Choice $24.00-26.50; Good and low- Choice $22.00-25.00. Prime heifers brought $27.00-27.75 over the area; bulk Choice $24.00-26.50; most Good $21.50-24.50. Util- ity and Commercial cows bulked at $14.00- 16.00, Canners and Cutters $12.00-15.00. STOCKER AND FEEDER CATTLE AND CALVES - Shipments of stocker and feeder steers and calves from the 10 markets totaled 26,355 head compared to 59,256 the previous week and 27,201 a year ago. Medium to low-Choice of- ferings predominated in supplies with a rela- tively large percent grading Good. Prices on all classes were often maintained on a steady basis. However, trading was some- what uneven and to some extent a two-way price trend developed. On sales that showed a departure from steady it usually was a case of yearling stockers and calves showing strength, some sales as much as 500 higher. Meanwhile, feeder steers, particularly over 900#, in some instances were 50# lower. As has been the case on slaughter steers in recent weeks, weight also continued to be an important price determining factor on feed- ers, the heavier the feeder the poorer the demand. Muddy feedlot conditions often proved a factor in reducing demand and cou- pled with the knowledge of large numbers on feed, prompted feeder buyers to proceed with considerable caution. At the same time, with abundant supplies of roughage and other feeds on hand, apparently many growers are eager to secure at least part of their spring and summer requirements ahead of the grazing sea- son and supplement feed until grass time rather than wait another month and chance added difficulties in securing desired num- bers. Good and Choice yearling stock steers sold chiefly from $24.00-27.00, few loads Choice 500-600# $27.50-29.00; Medium to low- Good stockers $21.00-24.50. Good and Choice 800-1050# feeder steers brought $22.00-25.25 but not many over 900# exceeded $24.50. At Chicago Medium 1109# sold at $19.75, same grade 980# $20.75. Good and Choice yearling heifers sold from $20.75-25.25. A few Choice steer calves brought $531.50-52.00, majority Good and Choice steer calves $26.00-51.00, same grades heifer calves largely $25.00- 27.00, few to $28.50. MIDWEST LIVESTOCK REVIEW and RANGE AND FEEDLOT SALES HOGS Terminal Markets Receipts at the 12 markets decreased 7 percent from the previous week, but were a little above a year ago. A large percentage of the run consisted of uneven consignments of mixed U. S. No. 1, 2 and 5 and No. 2-3Sbarrows and gilts weigh- ing from 190-260#, while lots of U. S. 1 and 1 and 2 offerings arrived in very limited numbers. Sows made up between 5-10 per- cent at the various points. Sorting at many centers was infrequent, however, at some points a few No. 1 and 2, 190-250# butchers were sorted off No. 1, 2 and 5 lots. Weak to lower prices were general during the early part of the week, but late in the period reduced sup- plies influenced price upturns that more than offset the early declines. Compared with the previous weeks close, barrows and gilts sold steady to 500 higher over most of the area. Sales were 50-754 higher at St. Joseph but steady, instances 150 lower at Indianapolis; sows steady to 75# higher, mostly steady to 50o up. Mixed U. S. No. 1-5, 190-250# barrows and gilts closed at $12.75-14.25, largely $15.25-13.75. Selected lots of No. 1 and No. 1 and 2, generally averaging 190-250# and largely sorted for both weight and grade uni- formity brought $15.50-14.25 and up to $14.50 at Omaha and Chicago. Mixed No. 1-3, 270- 550# sows bulked at $10.50-12.25 with sales to $12.50 at St. Louis National Stock Yards. Feeder pigs closed steady to 50f lower at So. St. Paul and were steady at Sioux City. Good and Choice 100-160# feeder pigs at So. St. Paul closed at $11.00-11.50; Medium and Good 150-160# offerings at Sioux City $10.00- 11.00. Average cut-out value advantage of U. S. No. 1 over No. 5, live basis 200-220# bar- rows and gilts was 860 per cwt. based on wholesale carlot prices of fresh pork cuts at Chicago January 28 to February 3, 1960 inclu- sive. HOGS Interior Iowa-Southern Minnesota Area The week's supply was little changed from the previous week but was 3 percent under the corresponding week last year and was the smallest for a full week since last September. Mixed U. S. No. 1-5 butchers 180-240# comprised around 85 percent of the butcher supply, the balance largely No. 2 and 3 grades and mainly under 280#. Sows comprised slightly less than 5 percent of total receipts. Closing prices compared with last Friday were mostly steady to weak on butchers under 270#, heavier weights firm to 250 higher, and sows 25# higher. U. S. No. 1-3 200-240# barrows and gilts, including some 190-200# lots, sold late at $12.45-13.25 with a moderate volume of No. 1 and 2 selected lots at $13.25-13.50, instances $15.60. Mixed No. 1-5 sows 270- 400# brought $10.50-12.00 with most sales above $10.75; No. 1-5, 400-550# sows mostly $9.50-11.00. SHEEP AND LAMBS Receipts at the 12 markets were 16 percent above the preceding week and about 6 percent over the same period last year. Wooled slaughter lambs predominated the supply. Demand was fairly good on most sessions at stronger prices and for the week slaughter lambs sold steady to $1.25 higher, largely 25-50f up. Slaugh- ter ewes were steady to strong, instances 500 higher. Feeder lambs were steady to 500 higher. During the week, most Good and Choice 90-115# wooled slaughter lambs sold from $19.00-20.00, Choice 90-110# $20.00-20.50. Some Choice wooled lambs reached $21.00 in the eastern Corn Belt, and at Chicago Choice and Prime cashed at $21.00-21.50.

WHOLESALE MEAT TRADE REVIEWS LESS THAN CART MEAT TRADE REVIEWS EASTERN SEABOARD Normal receipts of beef, lamb and pork were augmented by a carry- over from, the previous week at most markets. Below normal supplies of veal and calf were fully adequate, instances excessive. Trading on steer beef was moderately active, with hind- quarters and ribs slowest moving at New York and Philadelphia, and poor demand for ribs and forequarters at Washington, and some carry- over at these markets. Some beef unsold late at Boston due mainly to. narrow demand. Veal and calf met narrow outlet and weakness per- meated the general price structure. Some car- ryover was indicated at New York. Demand for lamb was fairly good at all markets except Boston, where heavy carryover was apparent. However, a good clearance was effected at other markets where prices were firm at the close. The pork trade was rather featureless, with demand only fair. Receipts although normal were slightly curtailed from the previous week. Clearance of pork was fairly complete at East- ern Seaboard markets, other than at Boston where a large volume was unsold late. Compared with the previous week: Steer beef prices were mostly steady to 50# higher at Washington, but steady to $1.00 lower at other points. Most sales were steady at New York while the trend at Philadelphia was mainly 50 lower. Cow beef prices were 50f-$1,50 low- er. Veal and calf sold mostly steady, some sales at Baltimore steady to strong. Lamb sales were mostly steady, instances $1.00 low- er at Baltimore, and some $1.00 higher at Wash- ington. Most sales of pork loins were steady to $1.50 higher with bulk sales at New York and Philadelphia $1.00 up. Prices on pork loins at Boston were weak to $1.00 lower. Pork spareribs were $1.00-2.00 lower at New York and Philadelphia respectively, but steady else- where. Boston butts and fresh skinned hams were steady. CHICAGO Steer and heifer beef and lamb supplies were about normal. Moderate fresh pork supply showed a slight decrease compared to a week earlier. Veal receipts were small with Choice and Prime offerings most limited. Trading was moderately active on steer and heif- er beef. Arm and squarecut chucks and rounds met good demand with upturns on chucks par- tially offset by lower selling ribs, partic- ularly those over 30#. Loins also were rather slow and prices declined slightly, however, additional fabricating kept stocks from accu- mulating. Trading on veal was slow throughout but clearance of small supply was complete. Carcass lamb and lamb hindsaddles were in mod- erate demand, while fore-end cuts, especially ribs were in poor demand. Trading was fairly active on fresh pork, although spareribs slowed at the close. Compared to the previous Friday: Steer and heifer beef steady to $1.00 higher; cow beef steady to 50 lower; veal steady; lamb steady to $1.50 higher; pork loins 8-16# steady to 500 higher; Boston butts steady to $1.00 higher, spareribs 53# down steady. PACIFIC COAST Steer beef receipts were again in adequate to slightly excessive volume for a continued rather listless move- ment. Choice carcasses under 600#, how- ever, were still in limited supply at Los Angeles. Cow beef was moderate at Los An- geles but rather liberal at other markets on the West Coast while calf and veal was moderate to small. Lamb was fully adequate while fresh and cured pork cuts were in liberal supply with some accumulations of smoked skinned hams at Los Angeles. Prices compared to the previous weeks a close: Steer beef steady to $1.00 lower; cow beef unevenly steady to $1.00 higher ,at Los Angeles and $1.00 lower at Portland; calf and veal mostly steady; lamb steady to $1.00 lower; fresh and cured pork mostly steady except for Boston butts instances $2.00 lower at San Francisco and sliced ba- con instances $1.00 higher in the Pacific Northwest. CARLOT MEAT TRADE REVIEWS Trading was moderately active on steer and heifer beef at midwest points but slow at the large consuming area as of New York and Philadelphia. Beef supplies were below normal at New York and Phila- delphia but normal elsewhere. Good demand prevailed for Choice offerings at most centers except New York where outlet was generally poor. Good carcasses met rather narrow demand with some carryover, partic- ularly at Omaha. Steer and heifer beef sold generally higher with the most ad- vance on Choice steer beef. Lamb car- casses were sharply higher under a good demand. Compared to the previous week's close: Steer beef at New York sold 504-$1.00 high- er, elsewhere mostly 50 higher, instances $1.00 up. Heifer beef sold steady to 500 higher at Chicago, Omaha and Denver, instances $1.00 higher at Omaha. Prices on lamb carcasses advanced sharply at most points with carcasses 504-$1.50 higher at Chicago, Omaha and New York, $1.00-2.00 up at Denver and strong to $1.50 higher at Philadelphia. 117 WHOLESALE DRESSED MEAT PRICES LESS THAN CARLOT BASIS Weekly average of daily quotations in dollars per 100 pounds New York Chicago : San Francisco Los Angeles : Feb. : Feb. : Feb. : Feb. s : 6 : 7 : 6 : 7 : : 1960 : 1959 : 1960 : 1959 : Feb.

Prices of domestic worsted wools were weak while woolen wool prices continued about steady. Pulled woolen wools, however, were strong. The Australian and South African markets opened weak on Monday but firmed somewhat by midweek. Cabled reports from New Zealand were erratic at midweek following a lower price trend on Monday,. Activity in South American markets was slow and prices were lower. Fleece, Wools There was very little activity in fleece wools. A relatively small weight of Delaine wool sold around $1.25, clean. Shearing has started in some sections of Ohio and Indiana. Country buyers were paying around 48-52# in Ohio and between 45-500 in Indiana to the grower. Territory Wools A large weight of territory fine wool sold the latter part of last week between $1.22-1.27 clean. This included original bag and graded wools. Around 9,000 fleeces of 5/8s and 1/4.blood Idaho were contracted at 52.750 in the grease, estimated to cost $1.17 for the 5/8s blood and $1.12 for the 1/4 blood clean. In Montana, around 525,000 pounds of medium and fine ewe wool was contracted for early shearing between 46-49 ,in the grease. Activity in con- tracting slowed this week due to lower prices. Texas Wools Activity in Telas wools was slow. A sizable supply of clippings sold from 21t-25# in the grease, f.o.b. Texas, estimated to cost 90-950 clean, landed Boston. Mohair Activity in mohair was ex- tremely limited. Sales were insufficient to establish a price level. Shearing will begin in about two weeks, weather permitting.
