Price de- clines were recorded on slaughter steers and heifers and spring slaughter lambs under influ- ence of the liberal marketing and substantial price downturns in the dressed trade. Slaughter steers and heifers closed generally steady to 750 lower with average-Choice and Prime steers over 1201V $1.00-1.50 off at Chicago. Slaughter cows sold steady to 500 higher as upturns on dressed cow beef offset the effect of increased supplies. Stockers and feeders were steady. Barrows and gilts closed steady to 500 lower at terminals, but 25-400 higher in the Interior. Spring slaughter lambs were $1.00-2.50 lower. SLAUGHTER CATTLE AND CALVES Increased receipts and lower prices for carcass steer and heifer beef at major wholesale meat centers had a decidedly bearish influence on slaughter steer and heifer prices at most terminals. Moderate upturns on steers and heifers Monday were more than erased on later sessions, as receipts con- tinued large. Receipts at the 12 markets were the largest since mid-January and 54 percent greater than the holiday shortened period a week earlier. Omaha received the largest volume for any July week since 1956. Most weights and grades of slaughter steers shared in the general price decline, but steer yearlings 1150# and be- low and steers grading Utility and Standard showed the least decline in most cases.Greatest price declines were recorded on liberal market- ings of Choice steers 1250# and heavier and the small volume of Prime. Steers were generally steady to 750 lower with some as much as $1.00 lower in St. Paul and Choice and Prime over 1250# were $1.00-1.50 off in Chicago. Weight was more a price determining factor than during the past several weeks. Slaughter heifers sold steady to 750 lower. Cows closed steady to 50 higher; bulls mostly steady. Good and Choice slaughter steers and heifers comprised the bulk of the receipts. The number of slaughter steers sold out of first hands at the 7 markets totaled 96,376 head, largest for any week since January and 14,600 head above the corresponding week last year. Vealers sold steady to $1.00 lower in St. Paul and mostly steady at St. Louis. At Chicago, high-Choice and mixed Choice and Prime slaughter steers brought $26.00-28.50, load Prinel 37(' 29.75 Monday and load 1113r", $29.00 Wednesday; average-rThoice closed *!25.25- 26.00; hirh-Good and low-Choioe $24.25-25.00; Good "'.-.25-24.00.

Utility and Commercial cows $15.00-17.00, Canners and Cutters $13.00-15.50. STOCKER AND FEEDER CATTLE AND CALVES - Shipments of stocker and feeder steers and calves at the 10 markets totaled 28,450 head compared 19,900 last week and 29,050 the corresponding week one year earlier. The supply was largely Medium and Good with a moderate volume of Choice. Farm activity progressed rapidly during a com- paratively dry period, and south of the Nebraska- Kansas line wheat harvest had nearly reached com- pletion and much of the corn had been laid by. Common and Medium stocker steers and all heifers were relatively slow. However, Good and Choice steers found dependable outlets. Prices were mostly steady except instances 500 higher on Good and Choice yearling steers at Kansas City and other southwest points. However, at St.Paul a 500-$1.00 lower trend prevailed. Good and Choice feeder steers ranged largely $22.00-25.00, load Choice 900# $26.00 at Chicago and load Choice 816# $25.65 at Kansas City. Medium and Good brought $18.50-23.00; Common $16.00-18.50. Few Choice yearling steers mostly 500-600# sold from $26.00-26.50, bulk Good and Choice $22.50-25.50; Medium and Good lots $18.50-23.00; some Common yearlings $14.00- 16.00. Numerous loads Good and Choice 725-775# feeding heifers sold at Sioux City from $22.25- 23.50, few loads 700-75('- at Denver $24.00- 24.50. Bulk Good and Choice stocker and feeder heifers brought $20.50-24.50, load 550# $25.00 at Sioux City. Medium and Good heifers brought $17.00-21.00. Good and Choice stocker steer calves sold from $23.00-30.00, liberal share $25.00-28.50, small lot Choice E6, $30.35 at Kansas City, and load mixed 290. $32.75 at Den- ver. Small showing Good and Choice heifer calves brought $21.00-25.50. Common, Medium and Good stock cows were steady at $12.50-16.00. HOGS Terminal markets Marketings of hogs expanded 335 percent over the previous holi- day shortened week, but continued to drop under the same week a year ago, being 8 percent under last year. Mixed U. S. No. 1-3 and lots No. 2- 3 200-27C( barrows and gilts comprised the bulk of the butcher supply. However, 180-200C hops are now beginning to arrive in noticeable volume at some of the western Corn Belt markets and the average weight of barrows and gilts at the 8 markets was 228#. This was L5 lighter than the previous week, but 8# heavier than the corre- sponding week last year. It appears that sow receipts are now beginnirg to approach the season's peak, that class made up 17 percent at the 8 markets compared 18 percent the previous 534 week and 19 percent the same week one year earlier. Although dressed pork prices were higher, live prices failed to respond, in fact, some declines were recorded. Daily price changes were usually minor with a moderate re- covery late. Barrows and gilts closed steady to 500 lower with many of the markets in the western area of the Corn Belt steady to 250 lower. Sows were steady to 250 off. At the close U. S. No. 1 and 1-2, usually 190-2530# barrows and gilts but including some lots up to 250# brought $18.00-18.50. Mixed U. S. 1-3 and U. S. 2-3, 180-250# sold from $17.25- 18.00, mainly $17.50-18.00. U. S. 1-3, 270-600# sows bulked at $13.00-16.00, some U. S. 1-2, around 270-300# brought $16.25-16.50. Prices on feeder pigs remained steady at both St. Paul and Sioux City.

HOGS Interior Iowa-Southern Minnesota Area Receipts were substantially larger than the holiday shortened period the previous week but slightly smaller than the corresponding period last year. A good demand, influenced somewhat by higher wholesale pork prices, re- sulted in some upturns for slaughter hogs. Com- pared to the previous Friday, closing prices for butchers were 25-40* higher while sows were 100 higher. On Friday, U. S. No. 1-3 butchers 190- 240# brought $16.80-17.50, a moderate volume No. 1 and 2 selected lots $17.50-17.85. No.1-3 270-400# sows brought $13.60-15.50; 400-550# $12.25-14.25. Sows made up fully 18 percent of the total receipts. SHEEP AND LAMBS The 12 market receipts were the largest in four weeks, around 40 per- cent more than the holiday shortened supply last week, and 20 percent over the corresponding week last year. Increased slaughter lamb supplies and declining carcass prices at wholesale meat centers were major factors influencing the live market to close considerably under the previous week. Spring lambs closed $1.00-2.00 lower, extremes $2.50 off, while shorn old crop lambs and yearlings were $1.00-2.00 off. Shorn slaugh- ter ewes sold steady to weak with instances 50f lower; feeder lambs steady to $1.00 lower, ex- cept 25-41.00 higher at Denver and Fort Worth, respectively. Choice and Prime 80-105# spring slaughter lambs sold late at $19.00-20.50, a few to $21.50, and early in the week comparable lambs brought $20.50-22.50 and reached $23.00 at Chicago. Good and Choice spring slaughter lambs sold from $16.50-21.00 with most late sales $16.50-19.00; Utility and Good $14.50-17.00.

During the week a few small lots Good and Choice old crop lambs and yearlings with No. 1 and 2 pelts brought $14.00-16.50; Utility $11.00-12.00.

Normal supplies were adequate at Washington, but reduced inshipments of veal at other markets a bit short for prevailing out- let, while slightly below normal pork supplies at New York and Philadelphia amply satisfied current moderate demand and loins were under pressure at the close, notably at Philadelphia where some were unsold late. Supplies of beef and spring lamb were mostly normal. Trading on beef and spring lamb was moderately active, with demand generally fair and good clearance at most markets. Some lamb carried at New York along with a small volume of beef hinds and ribs unsold at Philadelphia. Steer beef closed steady to 50# lower at Washington, with Choice $1.00 lower at New York and Good 50# off. The trend at other markets was steady to $1.00 higher; cow beef steady to 50# lower at New York, $1.00-1.50 higher at Philadelphia, steady at other markets. Veal sold steady to weak at Baltimore, but otherwise steady to $4.00 higher, the full upturn at New York where calf sold steady to $1.00 higher. Spring lamb prices were steady to $3.00 lower with bulk at New York $1.00-3.00 off. Pork loins closed weak to $1.00 lower at Philadelphia as early advance was fully erased, but at other markets loins closed steady to $2.00 higher. Other pork cuts mostly steady except at Washing- ton where Boston butts advanced $2.00-3.00 and spareribs $1.00-2.00. Kosher steer beef was around $1.00 lower, kosher spring lamb closed steady as early upturns were erased late. CHICAGO Steer and heifer beef and spring lamb supplies were moderate with beef consisting primarily of Good and Choice. Spring lamb car- casses comprised largely of 30-55# weights. Veal and fresh pork supplies were below normal. Trad- ing was only moderately active for carcass beef in local wholesale houses with prices following a lower trend. A fair demand prevailed for chucks and rounds early, but price declines were recorded after midweek in a slow trade. Addition- al fabricating kept loins moving well while ribs were slow and worked lower. Demand was moderate for all grades of veal at firm prices due mainly to small offerings. Sharp price declines on lamb erased the upturns of the past couple of weeks with trading only moderately active. Loins and ribs sold best of primal lamb cuts, with legs dull. Outlets were fairly broad for fresh pork cuts, loins advancing to their highest level since June 16th last year, while Boston butts sold higher than anytime since Dec. 18, 1958. Steer and heifer beef closed 50-1.00 lower; veal unchanged; spring lamb $1.50-2.50 lower; pork loins $1.00-2.00 higher; Boston butts $1.00 higher; spareribs steady to $1.00 higher. PACIFIC COAST Steer beef supplies were fully adequate for a fair demand at all points, except Choice 500-600# carcasses limited at Los Angeles and 700-800# in the Pacific North- west. Supply of heifer beef was below normal while cow beef was fully adequate for a con- tinued fair demand. Calf and veal supplies were about normal although 200-300# calf car- casses comprised bulk of offerings in Los An- geles. Spring lamb supplies were moderate at Los Angeles but rather liberal at Portland and San Francisco. Trading was generally slow, except fair at Los Angeles.

There were a few sales of scoured pulled wools although demand was generally poor and prices slightly easier. Noils were slow to move at about unchanged prices. Activity in the do- mestic primary areas was slow. There were oc- casional sales of 12 months wools in Texas at firm prices, while little was done in the territory States. Sales in Australia terminated at Newcastle and Auckland on July 14, prices opened some- what easier, but closed firm with a fair se- lection of wools offered. The Continent and local mills were the principal operators with Japan and England offering moderate support. Prices in New Zealand and South Africa were unchanged, while coarse B.A. wools were slight- ly firmer and Montevideo mostly unchanged. Fleece Wools Demand continued good for limited offerings of fleece quarter-blood wools in the Boston market. A moderate amount of graded short French combing 64s fleece wool brought 98-990 clean basis, delivered East. Graded fine delaine wool brought around $1.10- 1.12 clean basis, delivered. Practically all wool in the fleece wool States had been sold or shipped to warehouses. Territory Wools A substantial volume of medium to fine original bag wool sold in Montana from 39-440 grease basis, f.o.b. Approximately 25,000# original bag bulk fine wool sold in Wyoming at 380 in the grease and about 12,000# at 40o f.o.b. was estimated to cost clean around $1.05, delivered East. Texas Wools There were occasional sales of 12 months wool in Texas around $1.10-1.12 for staple and good French combing length while odd lots of 8 months wool brought $1.05-1.07 clean basis, delivered East. Mohair Trading in the local market was slow as dealers were making deliveries of previous sales. Foreign Wools Trade in spot foreign wools was very limited.

The 44-million-pound net reduction during June compares with declines of 64 million a year earlier and the 74 million average. Warehouse holdings of 590 million pounds on July 1 were 1 percent above that date last year and 12 percent above aver- age. Net losses in beef stocks of 7 million pounds exceeded reductions a year earlier by 2 million ut were 2 million less than the 1955-59 average. Although the 141 million pounds of beef in storage on July 1 were 16 percent below the same date last year, stocks were 12 percent above average. Pork stocks during June displayed a reduced seasonal out-movement. The 32-million pound reduction compares with de- clines of 52 million during June of a year earlier and the average of 59 million. On July 1 pork stocks totaled 354 million pounds. These were 13 percent above hold- ings on July 1, 1959 and average.
