Fresh pork hams are offered whole- sale at 23 to 24 cents a pound and are meeting with slow sale, whereas pork loins are selling freely at to 35 cents, The wide difference in prices be- tween loins and other fresh pork cuts is due to continned demand for re- tail dealers for loins. while most of the other cuts, especisily fresh hams are neglected.
