Overseas meatmarkets
Demand for all meats was low in the United Kingdom last week because of the advent of the first warm weather of the season, the New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board reports in its eekly market survey. However, with domestic lamb still 3-4 weeks off peak availability New Zealand lamb has relatively little competition for this
time of year. On the Smithfield market PL grade was quoted at 5960p per lb, and PM grade at 58-59 p per lb. The manufacturing beef market in the United States has weakened slightly with slower demand for product than is normal for this time of year and confusion over potential import law restrictions. New Zealand boneless
cow beef dropped one and a half cents to average 106 U.S. cents per lb, c.i.f. and bull beef slipped half a cent, averaging 115 U.S. cents per lb, c.i.f. The Meat Board has low stocks of main grade carcase mutton left to sell after its recent large sale of sheepmeats. It is quoting 52 U.S. cents per lb, c. and f., for MM grade mutton.
