However, with higher consumer incomes and narrow marketing margins, particularly for pork, some increases in retail beef and pork prices are likely. The retail price of Choice grade beef is expected to rise gradually through the remainder of 1977, with the second half averaging 4 to 5 percent above both year-earlier and first half prices. A widening of the pork marketing spread from current low levels and higher hog prices this fall than last will largely offset the seasonal decline ioi market hog prices - resulting in second half retail pork prices 4 to 5 percent higher than a year earlier. This level of retail pork prices would be about 10 percent above the first half 1977 average. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
