NFO Action In Seventh Day Drives Meat Price Talk
Scattered reports show meat prices rising as the National Farmers Organization marks seven days of a market boycott aimed at pressuring processors for higher prices. Wholesale and retail outlets in the Midwest and East report increases, with beef up four to five cents a pound in parts of Ohio and Louisville. A Baltimore meat packer predicts housewives face 12 to 15 cents more per pound soon. Some stores expect later boosts while NFC headquarters claims price hikes are unwarranted. Hog supplies at Chicago Terminal Market rise, forcing a 50 cent drop from Monday's high, with Chicago receipts at 10,000 hogs the highest since January 6. Retail moves vary, as Columbus stores hike bacon to 70 cents per pound, while Chicago Jewel, National and Kroger report no price changes.
