For the week ending May 18 shipments totaled 138 cars, down from 146 last year, while the week ending April 26 had 149 cars, down from 154. Last week brought 127 cars versus 154 a year ago.

Prices fell on choice cuts, with sirloin down to 16 cents a pound. rib roast also eased. Rueno steak held, corned beef and cheaper cuts stayed near, and many dealers expect a pickup next week.
