Smithfield market
The United Kingdom continued to be well supplied with domestic lamb, and the wholesale market was relatively quiet last week, reports the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board in its weekly market survey. There was strong demand for pork as retailers prepared for the pre-Christmas trade, and prices continued to firm. Prices for New Zealand lamb on Smithfield last week, with the variation on the previous week, were:— Price Var’n P P per lb per lb P.L. .. .. 51.0-52.5 n.c. P.M. .. .. 48.0-48.5 n.c. MANUFACTURING BEEF The United States imported beef market was very active last week as end-users
bid for available supplies. The average price for New Zealand cow beef was 134 U.S. cents per lb, c.i.f., against 132 c before. MUTTON No trading of New Zealand mutton with Japan was reported last week, and no firm quotations have been made.
