Behind Farm Market Scene LAFAYETTE — Snow clogged roads and cold weather across much of the midw est caused wide variations in marketings and prices of livestock and grain (hiring January, points out J William Uhrig. Purdue University extension economist Cattle pnces rose $2 50 per hundredweight on news of fewer cattle on feed. Hog prices climbed 51.50 per hundredweight from the depressed levels of late 1970. Cash soybean prices went up 20 cents a bushel, and com pnces rose slightly. However, egg pnces dipped six cents a dozen on increased production Choice steers at Chicago sold around $30.50 per hundredweight at the end of January, up $1.50 from a year earlier The. January Cattle on Feed report showed three per cent fewer cattle being finished and a five per cent reduction in weight categories of cattle to in the next two months High feed costs and high prices for replacement cattle relative to fed cattle prices led to the reduction in feeding, Uhrig notes. Hog marketings at the 11 major terminal markets were the largest in five years after the roads cleared. This increase brought prices to their lowest level in six years. The increased marketings also reflected the largest pig crop in 27 years. However, toward the end of the month, prices rose on improved demand and some slackening in retail margins. Hogs traded around the sl7 level in Indianapolis. more than $lO per hundredweight lower than at the end of January. 1970. Cash soybean prices in Chicago finished the month around $3.06 a bushel, more than 50 cents higher than, a year earlier During the first four months of the current marketing year soybean crush ran 19 million bushels ahead of the same period of last year Sharply higher prices for vegetable oils in Europe resulting from a shortage of sunflower and peanut oils boosted the demand for soybeans and soybean products, Uhrig says. Cash soybean Ml prices at Decatur. BL, rose around one cent a pound while meal prices remained fully steady. The end of January marked the Close of the Chicago Union Stockyards after 105 years. The yards lost money the last two years as a result of a sharp decline in the volume of livestock sold there and higher operating costs.
