Some improvement in prices from the August level is in

While total U. S. beef output

some decline from the current
large national supplies of grain-
fed beef is indicated for the latter
part of the fourth quarter.
Thus, a moderate upturn in
prices for Oregon choice slaugh­
ter steers appears likely, Marks
believes. Partly offsetting the de­
cline in beef supplies are pros­
pects for larger quantities of pork
and poultry meat.

bolstering factors, the economist
