Steadier Livestock Market
Offsets Some Lower Prices
Most hogs brought steady to 25
cents higher prices for the week,
but prices fell $1 to $2 at Denver.
Top butcher hogs sold at $21 at
Denver Monday, and sows $15 to
$15.50. Butcher top was $21 at
Kansas City, Oklahoma City and
Fort Worth, and $20.75 at Wichi-
ta and San Antonio. Sows spread
from $15 to $18.
i Sheep markets ruled unchanged
to slightly higher during the past
week. Good and choice ewes
brought $11 at Denver. Ewes sold
up to $10.50 at Wichita, and $9.50
at Oklahoma City. Fort Worth
took good ewes at $11. Goats ad-
vanced $1 at San Antonio. Com-
mon and medium nannies in the
hair moved at $9.50.
Scattered lots of choice fine 12-
months wools were contracted in
Texas at 65 cents per grease pound
f.o.b. Mohair eased a little in slow
trading.
Bad weather cut egg receipts in
the southwest and prices held firm
to strong. Fryers showed a weak
undertone, as an ice storm limited
movement from Northwest Arkan-
sas. Other poultry remained about
steady.
Cabbage and carrots led general
downturns on vegetables and cit-
rus fruits at south Texqs shipping
points last week. Cold damp wea-
ther held back harvesting. Severe
freezes over the weekend may
cause serious crop damage. Mini-
mum temperatures Monday ranged
from 23 at Brownsville to 20 at
Crystal City. Sleet and snow
around Hammond, Louisiana de-
layed strawberry harvest.
Wheat, sorghums and
corn dropped 4 to 5 cents
week and white corn about
No. 1 hard wheat closed Monday
at $2.34% to $2.39 3/4 per bushel
in bulk carlots at Texas common
points. No. 2 white corn sold
around $1.74, and yellow corn
$1.58. No. 2 milo brought $2.63 to
$2.68 a hundred.
Slow demand for liberal offer-
ings lowered prices of most feeds
last week. Bran and shorts sokk
around $54 a ton, and cottonseed
meal $68 to $69 in carlots. Snow
and ice created more demand for
hay. No. 1 alfalfa brought around
$40 a ton at Fort Worth and $30
at Kansas City. Peanuts sold a
shade higher.
Cotton declined 50 cents to $1.25
a bale for the week. Spot mid-
dling 15/16 inch closed Monday
at 32.80 cents a pound at Dallas
and Houston aird 32.70 at New
Orleans.
