ATLANTA, GA.. June 23?The
movement of cattle and calves to
southern markets showed a slight
seasonal increase this week, and
there was a general softening in
the price structure for about the
first time this year, the Production
and Marketing Administration reported
today. Prices for some
classes, however, continued higher.
Combined arrivals of cattle and
calves at Montgomery, Nashville,
Memphis, and Louisville, and at
eight major packing plants in
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama,
totaled about 20,800 this week, in
comparison with 18,100 a week
ago, and 16,300 the same week last
year.
All cattle in Florida sold at lower
prices. Slaughter cattle were
off as much as $2 a hundred lbs.,
and calves $2 to S3. Stocker cattle
were off 50 cents to as much
as $1. Prices showed lesser declines
in south Georgia and southeast
Alabama. In north Georgia,
cattle prices advanced 50 cents to
$1, regaining the losses of last
week.
