Meat prices steady for now despite beef price dip
Agriculture Department experts say housewives will pay the same for higher priced beef cuts for several months, with hamburger and cheaper cuts likely to fall in late summer or fall. Hog prices rise, boosting pork retail costs, while veal and lamb prices stay near June 1959 levels. Cattle prices remain about 3 per 100 pounds below last year, with feeder cattle projections modestly lower than last fall. Meat consumption in 1960 is expected to total 159 pounds per person, down about a pound from 1959 due to less pork. Congo upheaval could aid U.S. soybean and edible oil exports as palm oil and related products remain below three-year Congo averages.
