Livestock and feed went up as
cotton, grain, eggs and poultry went
down last week while most vege-
tables, rice, peanuts, butter and milk
held steady at southwest markets
USDA’s Production and Marketing
Administration reported today.
Cotton tumbled about $25 a bale
last week. The trade asociated this
drop with speculation regarding de-
control of cotton textile prices and
uncertainty as to outlook for sales
of cotton textiles. Alo, seasonal
heavy movement of the crop into
trade channels may partly explain

ceilings.
Southwest egg and poultry mar-
kets felt the impact of meat decon-
trol. Demand sagged and prices
dropped about 2 cents a dozen on
eggs and about 3 cents a pound on
fryers and hens.
Hog prices took one af the big-
gest jumps on record lass week when
ceilings came off and soared $8 to
$10, but later declined $2 to $4 a
cwt. as receipts increased. Friday’s
quotations for good and choice
butchers stood at $22 a cwt., San
Antonio; $22.25, Oklahoma City;
$22.50 to $23, Ft. Worth; $23 to
$23.50, Denver; and $23 Wichita.
Higher prices brought out 16,050
hogs at six southwest markets com-
pared to 7,545 for the corresponding
week last year and 4,850 for the
previous week.
Decontrol of meat brought a rush
of cattle to market last week. Re-
ceipts at six southwest terminals to-
taled 90,400 compared to 82,000 for
the corresponding week last year and
55,375 for the previous week. Cat-
tle advanced $2 to $4 a cwt. at south-
west markets in contrast to gains of
$5 to $10 at midwest markets. Fri-
day’s prices quoted here were down
from the week’s peak. Houston sold
common and medium steers and year-
lings at $13 to $15 a cwt. and good
beef cows $12 to $13.50. Medium
and good cows brought $12 to $16,
San Antonio and Ft. Worth; good
cows $15 to $16.50, Wichita and
$16.50, Denver. Oklahoma City quo-
' ted medium and good steers and
| yearlings $12 to $23 and top beef
cows at $20.
Most grain prices started down
grade last week. Sorghums and
com lost the most ground. However
feed markets were unsettled as a
result of the end of price control and
restrictions on the use of by-products
and mixed feeds. No prices were
quoted, but the trade expected ur-
gent demand for tight supplies would
push prices well above termer OPA
