_Lamb._—The lamb market showed daily declines at eastern markets and
Chicago after opening firm to higher on Monday. Receipts were fairly
liberal and demand poor. Supplies accumulated, although some lamb was
put in the freezers. Compared with the close of the preceding week,
Boston and New York were $1‒$3 lower, Philadelphia $2‒$3 lower, and
Chicago $1‒$2 lower.
_Mutton._—The bulk of the moderate receipts of mutton at eastern markets
was undesirable because of weight and excessive finish. Prices were also
influenced by the drop in lamb values, and daily declines were the rule.
At Chicago offerings consisted largely of heavy ewes and bucks, but
prices showed little change. Compared with the close of the preceding
week, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia were $2‒$4 lower, with Chicago
unchanged.
_Pork._—Fresh light loins were seasonally scarce and relatively firmer
in price than heavier averages. Receipts of fresh loins were light, but
there was an ample supply of the frozen product on sale. Compared with
the close of the preceding week, Boston and Philadelphia were steady to
$1 higher except on heavy loins, which were weak to $1 lower with some
sales off more. New York closed unevenly $2‒$5 lower, and Chicago steady
to $1 higher.
