Stock Yards Accepts New Contract Amid Market Improvements
National Stock Yards, II resumes normal operations after a three week stoppage as the St. Louis National Stock Yards Company and live stock handlers accept a new contract. H. D. Wright of the Producers Live Stock Marketing Association says the move paves the way for better relations. Improvements and modernization are under way while hogs benefit from favorable weather and abundant feed, though heavier hogs may fetch lower prices. Cattle finish prices rise for better grades and lambs show gains despite heavier weights. Shippers are urged to avoid bunching supplies. Hog price support stays at 14.75 through December.
