Interior hog receipts for March totaled about 415000 head, down 130000 from March 1934. National interior markets also show over 40 percent lower receipts than a year ago. Strong direct-buying demand supported higher interior prices, while outside competition lagged. Prospects point to continued lower marketing in coming weeks and potential higher fresh pork prices.
